Traditional Doom Metal

[Rumpole]

Fucking hell I need to get that asap. I hear great things about it everywhere. : d

Do it man, it'd be right up your alley.

 

[Vilden]

I'm gonna check with I Hate if they have some left(they had some at a Terrorama gig a week ago atleast ), then I guess I'll order it together with the new Fall of the Idols that is released 29 february by the way. CAN'T WAIT!!

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

I'm a bit late on this, but Hour of 13's self titled is probably the best recent doom album I've heard in a while. Unbelievable riffs, vocals and atmosphere in this one.

I felt like the vocals are the only flaw, they annoy me for some reason.

 

[skeptik]

Well then you're a pussy, because Phil Swanson rules.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

I just listened to them on myspace. Good stuff.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Well then you're a pussy, because Phil Swanson rules.

Suck it buddy His work in Upwards of Endtime was miles better imo

 

[skeptik]

Hour Of 13 beats Upwards Of Endtime with a floppy dick.

 

[Krilons Resa]

a few slated releases for '08...

Revelation
Apostle of Solitude
The Gates of Slumber
Valkyrie
Orodruin
Dantesco
Heathendom

...watch out

 

[skeptik]

Don't forget Weird Light and The Lamp Of Thoth (the latter of which I know you're not apeshit about). It'd be nice to see the new Solstice and Solomon Kane out this year as well.

 

[~Neurotica]

Candle-fucking-mass.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Hour of 13 sounds like they are going to need to grow on me in terms of vocals. The music is awesome.

 

[skeptik]

The vocals fit very well with the whole aura of the music, in my opinion.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

Candle-fucking-mass.

I listen to them way too much. If that is even possible, anyway.

 

[skeptik]

Have you ever heard the Tales Of Creation demo from 1985 with Leif on vocals? It's really awesome, it comes as bonus tracks on the second disc of the Tales Of Creation reissue.

 

[~Neurotica]

A Tale of Creation track on '89 reissue is the same one as on '85?

 

[skeptik]

Tales Of Creation the album was a full realization of some of the ideas that Leif Edling put together back in 1985 but didn't have the tools to fully develop the concept. He recorded a few songs then (which are rerecorded in altered forms for the full-length) along with additional tracks that flesh out the full concept. This is why Under The Oak was rerecorded twice, first on Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, because he didn't have any intention of ever finishing Tales Of Creation, and again on the aforementioned because it was necessary for the concept.

 

[~Neurotica]

Thanks.

 

[DarkBliss]

Candlemass is, I think the only band that I don't feel reluctant about just buying their albums blindly. How bad can they be? I've already played the hell out of their first two albums and they still remain exciting and fresh. Need to get to acquiring the rest of their catalogue.

 

[skeptik]

Well I would be leary of just jumping into their post-Tales Of Creation works blindly, as there's a marked difference from thereon out. I would definitely sample first.

 

[The Ozzman]

The self titled is pretty sweet though
