"Ja jumalauta banjo?" (And a bloody hell banjo?)
Pure magnificent.
It feels bad and quite ungrateful to whine about Barren Earth being in my hometown with Katatonia, when Sólstafir plays with Katatonia in Helsinki next day.
It´s good that BE is coming here, but really, Sólstafir would be better to me.
I presently feel extremely torn between the combined awesomeness of Sólstafir, Insomnium, Katatonia, Arch Enemy, Barren Earth & Swallow The Sun vs. the chance of seeing Paradise Lost in a very special location. Nothing else all autumn, and of course those have to be on the same weekend.It´s good that BE is coming here, but really, Sólstafir would be better to me.
So big first world problems.
I dig it, it's definitely better than The Hunter (of which I didn't like much). The first two tracks in particular are great, kind of plods midway though.Another one is that I don't feel like installing iTunes on this computer, so someone who has it please tell me if the new Mastodon is as good as the last one.
Mine finally does, and my dad too - how much difference one perfectly executed live show can make... but to get back on topic, I'll probably check out more of this when it's available (Myrkur, from Denmark, first EP due in September). Most of the song is fairly generic, but the intro reminds me of The Passing of the Elves (A Elbereth Gilthoniel) from the LOTR 1 soundtrack, which happens to fit my mood after just coming back from a tranquil lakeside week:My mom would [...] not talk to me for a while about the whole Finnish metal scene, she doesn't get it.
Agreed!Still, a solid song. It would've been waaaaay better if it had real drums, tho.

Preordered this.
I have a feeling that it will be a killer album.
