earache has been quietly brewing up a storm...

[Papa Josh]

All of the Earache and Wicked World stuff I've heard in the last 18 months coming from that label has been top notch. Think about it...

Anata
Akercocke
The Chasm
Wolverine
Lost Soul
Exmortem
Usurper
Hate Eternal coming soon....
Insision
decapitated

hell... even the last deicide was ok.

I've only heard two of those, but they were both very good.

Wolverine > *.earache

 

[JayKeeley]

So Papa, I re-read your ANATA review and for the life of me, I cannot understand how it didn't end up in your top 10 list or even honorable mentions.

 

[lurch70]

yes, they have some good stuff coming. also the sublabels as well.
Biomechanical, etc.

I like that Lost Soul stuff ... another Pollack band that just kicks some serious ass

 

[SonOfNun]

They did have quite a year last year, Insision fucking rules and Anata was my numero uno.

I'm enjoying what I've heard from Candlelight so far this year and look forward to seeing what they offer as we continue on.

Yeah, that goes back to my whole feeling rushed this year... I forgot about a lot of stuff and then there was a ton that I was hearing as the deadline approached. This is definitely the fastest I've ever disowned a year end list, but I honestly cannot say that I stand behind my list any longer.

 

[Hell Mike]

So change it?

 

[Demonspell]

yes, they have some good stuff coming. also the sublabels as well. Biomechanical, etc.

After spending most of 2004 on the sidelines, Elitist is going to kick ass this year with new Wolverine, Ephel Duath, Forest Stream, Frantic *bleep*, etc...

Yeah, what's cool about Biomechanical is that Digby sent me a rough track from them about 2 months ago after I made some posts on the Earache board about reviews at RC. Pretty cool stuff.

 

[Nocturnal Silence]

I must be the only person who doesn't like Anata or Akercocke.

Agreed, this year looks like it's going to be a good one as far as Elitist releases are concerned

 

[PaulRawNerve]

cannot WAIT for new Ephel Duath stuff..
ooooffff!!
just got the frantic bleep cd for review but not had a listen yet..
