Wyrd - Rota

[Demilich]

I'm just checking out some mp3s of this and a few parts of it have UNRULY similarity to Drudkh's new album! WTH?

The riff around 8:00 in the title track, Rota, sounds EXACTLY the same as some part of The Swan Road, and much of the intro track, Noitakansa, sounds at much like Drudkh also!

Aquirering album now.

A new Wyrd album?! Is it out yet? Where can I get it?

I had two of Wyrd's albums. Surprisingly, they didn't do anything for me. Just seemed very random.

Yep random is a word that comes to mind for me as well, Huldrafolk had its moments but I think the problem is that he is not skilled enough as a composer to keep it interseting.

"A less talanted and slightly doltish younger brother of Agalloch" or something to that effect would be an apt description I think

 

[Demilich]

Rota's kind of all over the place composition-wise, so I'm inclined to agree with you guys. I like it though, I'll probably buy it anyways.

I love Wyrd.

Btw, they have a 7" split with Xasthur coming out apparently.

Don't release any more music until you come up with something new and different. KTHXBYE. <3 Max

Louder! I don't think he heard you

You know, "A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors" is a great release... everything else is merely okay..

"Nocturnal Poisoning" is the only one I have, I want the CDR of "A Gate..." cause it has awesome art (better than the gay suicide art on the re-release), and is a good album as well!

 

[Demilich]

It's cause he says he's just refining and re-creating the same concept over and over, improving it. A lot of people could misunderstand that as stagnation. I never heard anything after "The Funeral of Being", or any of the splits, so I don't know!

 

[MFJ]

Nocturnal Poisoning and A Gate Through Bloodstained mirrors are great, but he just has to stop "re-creating" the concept! (yes, old news) I've really lost my love for these "kvlt" USBM acts like Leviathan/Xasthur/Draugar recently. At least I'm pleased to see that Wrest is progressing with Leviathan (as is seen on the Xasthur/Lev split), but still- there is better music available.

On a side note: Wrest is releasing an ALL ambient vinyl through Profound Lore. His ambient stuff is usually pretty neat so I think I'll pick this up.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Xasthur unfortunately has gone drastically down hill in the last 2 1/2 years. A Gate.. Nocturnal Poisoning, and Suicide in Dark Serenity are all fucking killer. The problem is that the last 3 albums have been almost identical and became very stagnant. Although sadly im a whore for malefic and will probably continue to buy anything and everything he releases.

I really like Wyrd

 

[Demilich]

Nobody's adressed my statement of the relation to Drudkh's "Eternal Sun" yet!

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I haven't heard either band's new album.

*will one day figure out DC++*

 

[JayKeeley]

So what's the wyrd on wyrd? Any good?

 

[spaffe]

From the one album I've heard: no, not at all (see post above)

He has released a lot of albums though, so statistically some of them should be at least "good"

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I dig huldrafolk a lot.
