Traditional Doom Metal

[SentinelSlain]

anyone else like Nomad Son from Malta?

 

[Blind Guardian]

Yes! First Light is a really cool album, nothing really new but good for what it is. The use of hammond/keys is cool.

 

[The Ozzman]

Pfft BMD is the saddest album ever obv

Incorrect. The last three Katatonia albums are definitely sadder.

The saddest album ever, though, is Watching From A Distance

anyone else like Nomad Son from Malta?

Yeah just saw that in SKR yesterday too...looks good.

I dont really enjoy that guys maltese doom bands, forsaken is his other band....not a fan at all

 

[Vilden]

Forsaken are really great power metal infused epic doom imo. The vocalist may not be Agyl or Lanquist but they've got great atmosphere.

 

[supseudonymous]

Anyone care to share a few thoughts on the new Count Raven?

 

[Xorv]

'Katatonia - Brave Murder Day' for starters.

I got the Salvation's Answer reissue yesterday(now the s/t)...fucking amazing

 

[skeptik]

You are aware that Salvation's Answer and Revelation are not the same thing, right?

 

[rms]

other than track differential, what's the difference? I thought it was the same thing

 

[skeptik]

It's a completely different recording. Revelation is an unreleased album that was recorded in 1988. Salvation's Answer is from 1991. There aren't really any significant changes in the songwriting department, but the recording itself is fairly different. It's more amateurish, with a heavier guitar tone, but a weaker production (which is why they didn't release it).

 

[Blind Guardian]

Does anyone have Solitude Aeturnus' live dvd Hour Of Despair? I haven't paid any attention to the cd version, as I don't like live cd's, but the dvd rules, especially for me who have never seen them live.

kinda like mortal throne of nazarene and upon the throne?

 

[skeptik]

Well, kind of, but Upon the Throne was just kind of a demo for the first album, wasn't it? It's actually more like Onward to Golgotha and Blasphemous Cremation. Revelation was supposed to be the band's debut album. They only didn't release it because they weren't happy with the way that it turned out. It makes you wonder if Revelation's 'career' would have been any different if they released a full-length in 1988 like they were supposed to instead of holding off until a label gave them an offer and releasing their debut in 1991.

 

[rms]

Would be, have you listened to Revelation? The heavy riffs like Trouble is intense, im totally digging it.

 

[Koude Haat]

Got the new The Gates of Slumber album in the mail today. Fantastic album as expected. Def love the mix of heavy metal and doom. The production takes a little while to get use to but i don't really have anything to complain about, the excellent song writing is still there. Anyone else hear it?

 

[divine_torture]

Everybody psyched for the new While Heaven Wept next month?
