New Naglfar ...WOW!!!

[dolphz]

For anyone that hasn't heard it yet, the new Naglfar (Sheol) is absolutely amazing!! Never really got into these guys before, but this cd is definitely the best thing I've heard this year (yes, better than Opeth's D1 and D2).
Anyone else heard it yet?

It's the best thing this year if your idea of good is heading in the same direction as Dimmu Borgir. It sounds exactly like Spiritual Black Dimensions.

I think Naglfar's Vittra is an excellent piece. The second album wasn't nearly as good, however I have heard a lot of good stuff about Sheol. I'll pick it up as soon as I have the cash.

I must say that I greatly disagree here, there is a slight difference between swedish black/death and Dimmu Borgir's relatively mid paced Spiritual Black Dimensions. I think both album's are awesome but Naglfar's is better and doesn't sound anything like DB.

Naglfar is roughly twice as fast, has higher pitch melodies in the standard strumming sense, has much higher pitched vocals, and countless other differences. I know the vocals don't define the music but still they are very different. DB has around the order of 20 times the keyboards if not more, is much slower paced on average, has a lot of clean vocals, the guitars are much lower in pitch. Damn about the only similiarity I could see is that they have similiar drumming and that is it nothing more.

"Sheol" is an amazing album. I love it, it kicks so much ass

 

[Ayoria]

It's good but almost 5 years waiting a new cd of naglfar, i've heard Sheol and i don't feel any differences with diabolical, definitively i prefer the two first albums.

I have Vittra, and have heard so much praise for it, but I really don't see what is so special aobut it...

 

[IanDork107]

The new Naglfar is clearly better than Dimmu, more agressive but still melodic, but there's no denying that Naglfar have gone downhill and that they're headed in a similarly more commercial direction like Dimmu.

 

[jester00]

what genre is this?

 

[Yeah]

what genre is this?

(swedish) Black Metal. Sounds like Jens' experimentative songwriting has seeped from Dead Silent Slumber into Naglfar...hmm...this could be interesting.

How the fuck can someone compare "sheol" with Dimmu Borgirs "spirutal.." !!!!!!!!!!!? Insane!

Sheol is a very good record and i would rather compare it to Dark Funeral/Dissection or something like that. But with a little bit of Naglfar touch.


Force of pandemonium and Black God Aftermath are my favourites!

 

[Beast In Flames]

Didn't know this album was out yet. Gonna get a copy when I find one and I have the cash.

And oh, Vittra owns your ass!

 

[Shadowthrone]

Vittra is one of the greatest albums of all time. I can't believe how good it is. Everything else they have released is great as well. I think Naglfar is one of the best Swedish bands, along with Opeth, that are still together and releasing material.

 

[Beast In Flames]

Enslave The Astral Fortress is one of my all time fave Black Metal songs. Maybe even the number one!

Listen to the song Unleash Hell and tell me that it couldn't be a Dimmu song.
