Yo NAD... Place of Skulls?

[General Zod]

Listening to the new one, "The Black is Never Far". Sounds as if you should be all over these mother fuckers... cool stoner vibe. Nice vocal, guitar and bass work. Buying this fucker for sure. I know they have a few CDs out. Assuming you have some experience with these guys, what's considered their best work?

If you haven't heard these guys yet, get on it.

This new one is the best.

I thought With Vision was a big step up from their first one, which I attributed to the addition of Wino.. so with this new one, sans Wino, I wasn't really expecting too much, thinking I'd like it , but say "yeah.. I miss Wino"

this is definitely NOT the case. AMAZING cd, the others can't compare, but they are still great albums

 

[Eminor]

Great album.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

UNBELIEVABLE album. "Masterpiece" etc

 

[General Zod]

"Look for a Reason" is currently my solo of the year. Awesome.

[NAD]

I'll gladly listen to any uploaded samples.

I've heard the name, but nothing more.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

yeah, samples plz

 

[General Zod]

I'll gladly listen to any uploaded samples.

I'm not heading home right after work. But I'll get some samples up later tonight.

[IOfTheStorm]

The Black Is Never Far (one of the BEST songs in the album)

 

[IOfTheStorm]

..and

Darkest Hour (again one of the BEST songs of the album, probably this and the title track are my two favourites)

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Well damn the new one is that good? I guess I'll have to check out these samples when I get home. Like chromie I was weary of checking this out at first.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

this is pretty cool

 

[Demilich]

The Black Is Never Far (one of the BEST songs in the album)

You really weren't kidding! This song is AMAZING on first listen!

 

[Krilons Resa]

Ive only heard half of ot so far until it is finally released officialy. Definitely their best and fucking tremedous so far. Those two that IoTS posted, ESPECIALLY My Darkest Hour are fucking GRANDE.

EDIT: Stoner?! WTF!!

 

[NAD]

I'll have to give these dudes another listen later I suppose but ummm... this is definitely NOT my thing. At all.

 

[General Zod]

EDIT: Stoner?! WTF!!

Hmm... I don't know. Don't much care either. That was a s close as I could come to a passable description. Regardless, check this out:

Lookin' for a Reason

I friggin love that solo.

Most people jumped all over this album straight away...I'm still coming round to it. I listened to it again today and it sank a little deeper. It's not an instant album by any means, at least not for me.

It's an odd hybrid of Iommi meets some form of modern rock. I know this sounds weird, but there are even some moments on it (like the slowed down acoustic song parts) that sound a bit like Iced Earth!!! (e.g. "Watching Over Me" sorta stuff).

A couple of the songs grabbed me right away. They drew me back to the disc often enough for the others to grab me as well.

[Reign in Acai]

I adore "The Black is Never Far". Should I go with "Nailed" or "With Vision" next? Comrades, please advise.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Well "With Vision" has a more dry sound, because of Wino's presence... the closest to the sound of "The Black Is Never Far" is "Love Through Blood" ep.. "Nailed" is pretty good...but seriously..."With Vision" is a riff heaven as well...
