lol. i absolutely hate it, it's pretty much the exact opposite of what i want out of death metal in every way

[Mort Divine]

the riffs are cool and so are the vocals but the album lacks any uniting characteristics. It is all JUST cool riffs and vocals kind of thrown together.

[Death Delirium]

I can't wait to get The Wacken Carnage cd/DVD. Bloodbath's first live show from 2005.

I would have to completely and utterly disagree with that. Their music makes perfect sense to me, and they are actually one of more straightforward tech death bands, so for someone to be saying that they, of all bands, are disjointed, is a little out of whack.

+ overloud kick, NO FUCKING BASS (SERIOUSLY WHERE IS THE BASS WHAT THE BALLS), etc.

Well, I'm really not a big fan of tech death so that might be part of the problem. There's certainly a lot worse in the tech death genre. They do have interesting ideas at times but to me it just doesn't work as whole songs.

[HaggardBastard]

Is anybody else into Portal? That bands sounds otherworldly. I would say that sections of Outre are so murky that they border on ambient, though by no means ambient in the electronic sense of the term. There's a pronounced Immolation/Incantation influence as well, and see those two names, especially Immolation, tossed around a lot here.

Also, I just got the debut, Seepia, in the mail today, but haven't gotten around to listening to it yet because Wormed's Planisphaerium is owning me.

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I think they're fucking pretentious and annoying. It's TOO dissonant and it really detracts because I like the idea of absurdist/Lewis Carroll-style metal aesthetics.

Wormed is better

Nah, I agree with Ben T--their is a palpable sense of that band trying way too hard to ascend to the level of intelligence exhibited in other technical death metal, resulting in a horribly hamfisted effort that constantly confounds the listener where clearly that aesthetic was not the intent.

Also, I should say that I adore Crimson Massacre--a band many find highly disjointed--so take my preceding comment with that in mind.

While Wormed are incredible (holy fucking GOD Planisphaerium is a mindfuck), I still stand by Portal as one of the more innovative, interesting bands in death metal. The extreme dissonance is one of the things I like about Portal. V5, is that what you're talking about when you say they're pretentious?

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Read an interview with them, "Horror Illogium" is an asshat

I'm really psyched that you like Wormed that much, tbh

Oh, christ, they're amazing. There's so much rhythmic variation on that record, but every riff is excellent and even memorable.

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I know the entire album by heart. I can hum every riff. I know every time change. I can decently emulate every vocal pattern. It's one of the best death metal albums ever.

[hazemovic]

guys what do u think about Deathevocation they r very talented guys i just discovered them 2 days ago and am in love with em ... very dark music....

Yeah, since Seed showed them to me I've been pretty much addicted.

The Chalice of Ages is a great album! It oozes with an ancient atmosphere that I love. If you don't have it yet, get it!

Agreed! They are definitely one of the best newer death metal bands and this album is really a must for any fan of death metal. I found The Chalice of Ages rather average as first but it quickly grew on me. I've rarely heard albums that last an hour seem so short.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I pop the fucker in the CD player and I look down again, like, 10 mins later and it's on track 5. I'm like, is the record really this fucking short?

[hazemovic]

yea guys u r right ... the other band that i think is great too ''Slugathor'' very good band if u ask me.......... but i think Deathevocation is lil bit doomy but omg what a great band am so happy cause i discovered them....

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah, Slugathor is great, but not on Deathevokation's emotion level.

Word,btw is there any band impressed u like Deathevokation somethin' unique and new cause u seem to have a great taste

[V.V.V.V.V.]

They are fairly unique. Try out God Macabre.

I just re-listened to Outre and Seepia and I disagree with you. Yes they are dissonant, but it is not mindless dissonance, nor is that the only technique they employ to achieve their swirling omnipotent vortex of sound. I can see why people may not like them, but their is certainly something of substance beyond the obvious label of 'too dissonant'.
