so feckin' epic.

Thanks for posting this. I heard it a few years back and it's lovely. I'm glad to see that it got a modern reissue since then. I'm going to buy it.

 

[no country for old wainds]

you're welcome dude

this seems like a good thread for relinking this post i made a few months back, containing youtubes of some of the greatest trad metal singles ever released (imo of course). check 'em out folks.

It's so fucking dumb but so fucking fun.

Listen to my first song, Damien - Stop This War, it's better than you'd think.

It's so fucking dumb but so fucking fun.

so consistent too. moreso than virtually all of the more 'serious' metal records this year.

My favorite trad. metal song of recent years:



One of my favorite obscure finds, the vocals kinda suck but it's fucking ferocious.



The quintessential heavy metal album as far as I'm concerned:

i like argus, wouldn't go that far but i like 'em. lefay thing is cool in a 'di anno maiden but weirder' kinda way, could say the bad vocals are part of its charm? the last 40 or whatever seconds is amazing. and IRAE MELANOX is one of the best albums ever obviously.

my favourite metal song of last year:


haven't found anything of comparable quality this year yet, but there's still time.

 

[CiG]

I'd go that far, Argus are fucking phenomenal in my book.

I have yet to hear anything by Portrait except their first album.

 

[Krow]

That Johnny Touch album is surprisingly good. Great cover art too

I have yet to hear anything by Portrait except their first album.

Their latest album is actually worth listening to, versus their earlier material.

 

[The Ozzman]

Portrait wasn't bad when I checked them out. I only listened to Crimen Laesae Majestatis Divinae though.

 

[no country for old wainds]

CROSSROADS is better methinks. i haven't heard the debut though.

 

[CiG]

The first Portrait album is mixed really badly.
It's good, but you can't get an accurate opinion of the band just going by that album.

Missed out on this one back in the day. Discovered it's awesomeness thanks to this place! \m/
