So based on the discussion in the other thread yesterday, I spent some time listening to Destroyer 666 and picking out songs which I think sound similar to Primordial (in terms of feeling: sweeping, epic, tragic, chord progression and musical landscape).
Of course, there is also a ton of Bathory in D666. If I was ever gonna put any 'science' into it, I'd say there's about a quart Primordial, a quart (or more)Bathory, and the rest all very D666.
So for all intents and purposes, D666, Primordial, and pre-viking Bathory become an excellent triarchy of artists. Can you imagine a live concert that could have featured all three?
If I were a betting man, perhaps when Warslut and Nemtheanga partner up, their ouput would be similar to the following list of songs, except with Alan's vocals. Queue these songs up and try to imagine Alan singing them...
Terror Abraxas
"Trialed by Fire", track 3
"Prometheus", track 5
Cold Steel...For an Iron Age
"Cold Steel...", track 3
"The Calling", track 6
"Witch Hunter", track 8 (maybe)
Unchain the Wolves
"Tyranny", track 4
"Onward to Arktoga", track 8
Phoenix Rising
"The Last Revelation", track 2
"I am the Wargod", track 4 (maybe, way too fast probably, but fuck me, there's moments of celtic greatness going on there with that tremelo picking, tell me the recurring riff at 1:55 - 2:06 doesn't sound like U2
)
and of course...."The Birth of Tragedy". Now for this one, you have to try and phase out the verse drumming when listening and focus only on the rhythm riff section...it's very cool if you imagine Simon O'Laoghaire's drumming style instead.
So anyway, listen to those songs and perhaps you'll have the "a ha!" moment and it could wet your appetite for things to come maybe if these two guys ever write something together!?!!!
@Greg -- I know you're not too much into D666 but I have a feeling that these songs in particular might be more to your liking in their nature, and you could even just create a playlist of just these songs and give D666 another try from that angle.
