I don't get why people love Simen so much, sure he was great on Q. but everything else I have heard him on, he was quite average and Garm did nothing for me in borknagar, he sounds much better on Ulvers new stuff.

But I'm a Mr. V fan boy so...

 

[Doomtroll]

I never liked Garm in Borknagar to be honest. Vortex on The Archaic Course is delicious though.

 

[Rivfadír]

What? Are you people tripping? The s/t and especially TOD is filled with awesome tracks!

Vintervredets Sjelesagn, Dauden, Grimskalle Trell, The Winterway, A Tale of Pagan Tongue, To Mount and Rove, etc.

Maybe because Simen and Garm have ranges and don't sound like a strained 12 year old when doing soaring vocals.

I didn't say I didn't like the albums. As I always said, TOD is one of their most underrated albums yet one of their best. I just don't find Garm's vocals to be super fantastic. I prefer his work with Arcturus and Ulver.

 

[Zephyrus]

The Olden Domain is Garm's best work when he was a baritone. The Sham Mirrors is his best in his higher range.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Truth.

 

[Allfader]

I love the bergtatt and Kveldsjanger voices, specially the last one.

About Arcturus and Borknagar, I agree with Zep.

Awful advice from the drunk hahaha! Nah j/k. Allfader maybe you should get really drunk and listen to Varraghor and see if you like it?

On another note, Bergtatt is fucking amazing!

 

[~Derek~]

I like Garm's cleans on Blood Inside. They're my favorite cleans from him.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Bergtatt is fucking amazing!

Take into account he layered the fuck out of himself on that album. At least on the first song.

I'm drinkin a lot of beer... maybe at 7 or 8 am I'll check out that band ^^

 

[The Grand Design]

Woo, hope you enjoy it, I'll drink a beer in your honour if you do haha.

here is 8:26 am and I'm not drunk yet ^^. The band's myspace made a request x friendship and I'm listening... Reminds me to Gorgoroth's Under The Sign Of Hell, but sounds good to me.

BTW, I have to upload a newest song... the song I have on my space is too old (composed maybe 2000?) and don't represent the band's sound anymore.

 

[The Grand Design]

Cool glad you like our stuff! Looking forward to your new stuff, the other stuff sounded pretty good. I was drunk at 8:26 PM!! Hmmm maybe New Zealanders have a drinking problem?

I love Garms "non borknagar work". His singing style didn't fit quite as well with Bork. Simen was incredible on some tunes, others he was horrible. I like Simen's Arcturus stuff the best, as well as Garm's Arcturus work. Mr. V is obviously different from the other two, in good and bad ways...and yes he does sound like hes straining on the highs and sometimes out of key on the really low stuff, however when that guy sings in Swedish...WORSHIP! So in reality they all have strengths and weaknesses.

Thanx a lot!

Maybe is an endurance problem... 11:15 am and still drinkin, not drunk yet ^^

Listened to Bergtatt today. It was really good, but below the hype/my expectations.

Really? why??? Bergtatt always grows up on me.

 

[~Derek~]

^Maybe that's why the hype level was exceeded, because it must grow on him. That I Fjend song on there is great though.
