You talkin' to me?
But Type O negative began earlier and they achieved sucess in the mid of 90´s. Opeth began to have some recognition in late of 90´s.
There is also a thing to have in mind, the pre internet era and post internet era. Sales after the internet are completly different. If you think about, doesnt exist any bands that reached the sucess level of a bands like Iron Maiden or Metallica, in post internet era. The market it´s not the same and there arent more big bands like those who came in 80/90´s.

Exactly - really it's apples and oranges trying to compare pre-internet metal records sales to current levels as a measure of success. You will just never see those levels again.
if nothing else, this thread proves that throwing a bunch of metalheads into a confined space will always result in some sort of fight...

^ I bet you'd get the same result if you threw only Sami & Drew together in a confined space
Nah. You'd probably get a deformed child with a Mohawk and a bent spine.

Part doom, part sludge, part stoner, part post-rock, Exegesis is all win. Its a marriage of inspired songwriting, highly skilled performance, and close-to-perfect production engineering.

poignant stuff that shows off the crisp syncopation of Russian Circles and keeps pushing forward. If you like technical, all-out spirals of sound you could do worse than give this lot a listen! Big, heavy and sludgy, this instrumental post-metal odyssey is bruising in the best way possible
Rock Sound Magazine
The epically titled Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster already have a clear direction; heavy, doom laden, textural waves of noise The build-ups themselves are often very beautiful; vast echoes and heart rending chord changes make your skin prickle they do a great job on Collapse by injecting tons of personality in to each track 11/13

"There is an overlapping ominous theme that connects each song with the one before it, creating a chain of powerful songwriting. While much of the music is instrumental, the sections that contain vocals are especially noteworthy; vocalist Dylan Foucher alternates using a throaty yell and a soft croon whenever the song necessitates it. Both guitarists display an impressive array of riffs, ranging from Tool-esque chugging to dissonant melodic leads that intertwine wonderfully with the backing music. The title track, arguably the album's finest, is the best example of what Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster brings to the table. Over the course of several minutes, the lumbering song blossoms from a simple clean melody to a massive wall of sound, climaxing in a final minute that can only be described as awe-inspiring.
While the group's influences are absolutely crystal clear, they do an admirable job of trying to branch out and create their own sound. Fans of Tool should find many things to love about this album, as the band borrows much of what made Lateralus so universally praised. However, the song structures are much more similar to bands like Pelican and Neurosis in their ebbs and flows. Though there are still some lulls in the songs (which are eight minutes on average), a young band can generally eliminate filler as they grow as songwriters. Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster have done their part in creating one of the more surprisingly solid albums of the year and a possible candidate for many year-end lists to come. All they can do now is hope that they dont fade into anonymity like so many other hopefuls before them."

The huge sound they create is heightened by the ambient intricacies reaching peaks that resonate such bands as Explosions in the Sky and Isis to name a few. However, there is a uniqueness about this bands sound which surpasses any fleeting comparisons. 9/10

"Next up is the title track which starts with more clean-toned reverb and delay aided guitar tones, and about a minute along the vocals come in. Wait? What? Holy crap, this dude isn't SCREAMING AT ME MAKING ME WISH I WAS DEAF! No! He sings clean with a nuanced tone that is simultaneously fragile yet strong. Yeah, he's got the goods. As with seemingly every post song under the sun, the intensity builds and it all clicks. Whereas the prior track had moments, this is a cohesive, consistent piece. Melodic wah'd guitars setting a mood over drum fills I'm not going to call it a "groove" per se, but the whole thing has this great building jam kind of feel to it that grabbed my attention and immediately set my expectations considerably higher for the rest of the album."

"'Exegesis' is the second TACOMA NARROWS BRIDGE DISASTER album - an exceptional one, a balancing act consisting of fervour and melancholy. Key element is the dual guitar appearance by Drew Vernon and Adam Paul, soaring, echoing, riffing, crashing - the more I listen the more I like this ... kinda fascinating, my most played album in recent times - a wonderful affair overall, congrats TNBD - 4.5 stars."
