Is Bloodbath Minus Swano Still A Force?

[unas slayer of the dogs]

I prefer RTC & BD over NMF, but without anything to do with Swano UTP just kicks ass so fucking much, I suppose it's the way Mike sings on it what makes it that awesome.
I still haven't heard TFM but I have heard Iesous and it sounds really good...
Yeah, of course they're still a force but I think kicking Dan wasn't a very smart move, I mean, he was good at everything he was doing on the band...
I like almost all of the songs he wrote better than Jonas's or Blakkheim's creations, and he's an amazing growler and good as a drummer too.
Besides, fans loved him 'cause he really is cool just as a dude

I think UTP sounds very different from TFM though.

[DarkGift]

yes, the vocals are more br00tal

[stefan86]

well. UTP songwriting owns, I suppose that's the main difference

[DarkGift]

yeah, that too lots of great "UAH!"s in there

Very different?? What's so very different about it, seriously? The style is pretty much exactly the same. TFM is exactly what one could expect after UTP, simply everything taken one extra step further.

Agreed. I like the vocals on TFM alot but when I heard Unblessing the Purity the first time I was like... "Is this what Satan sounds like?"

I think so. UTP has a lot of fluent, dominating tremolo riffs.. something TFM lacks in almost every song.

Especially when the ending part of Weak Aside came

What's a tremolo? Rather someone tell me here than google it.

A tremolo is that little handle on the bridge of a guitar that you can pull to make cool squeeky sounds.

I don't have this kind of technical knowledge about guitarplaying, but I do know that when I listen to both UTP and TFM I hear pretty much the same style, amazingly brutal, mostly fast but with enough breakdowns and groove, Mike's awesome vox (equally awesome on both releases), killer production (tad better even on TFM) and blasphemous lyrics. I would agree TFM sounds very different compared to RTC or BD, but the differences in style between UTP and TFM are mere tiny details, the overal style/colour/feel is very similar.

New Bloodbath destroys all. I like Swano ....but the song writing is much better now.
