I have Lux Aeturna, which is absolutely great, but how is the band's latest album?

On topic: I figured some of you may have an appreciation for Chicago-based doom metal bands. Therefore, while some of you may know these guys, the rest of you make sure to check out The Living Fields:

Yeah...Aquaria "Shambala" is also a great disc. Worth tracking down. The band Endless is the singers other side band, which is equally as good too.

Unfortunately, the band is spread across three continents. Please don't take any of the following as an absolute truth, because I am not entirely sure about all of it...

The principal songwriter, I believe, lives in Chicago while the drummer is in Canada and the singer is over in the UK. The singer has another band called MonsterWorks or something like that and the drummer has been involved with multiple outfits,

EDIT: Also, The Living Fields recently signed to Candlelight, so I am hoping for a new album shortly...

Quadfather...
Very interesting. Thanks for the info.
That certainly explains why they aren't a household name locally.

Take a look at the liner notes on that CD.

FrostGiant · September 15th, 2008, 09:09 AM

Well Antimatter sounds like Anathema for a reason. I like the band a lot but do not own any CDs. I should probably buy the 2 acoustic ones. I'm a big fan of that type of music. As I get older I noticed I tend to gravitate more towards the mellow/slower music and in fact that's pretty much all I listen to now. Every once in a while I'll throw in something heavy, but not too often anymore.

i dont pay attention to the liner notes that often, but you did the layout for planetary confinement

FrostGiant · September 17th, 2008, 01:31 PM

Got my signed copy of Agua de Annique yesterday. Fantastic album.

They played here in Chicago a couple of years ago. I was at the show.

And you should check this vid out too. They were on the Noland show in Ireland, pretty fucking hillarious.

Great band, and really great fun to work with.

Everything You Know Is Wrong is one of my favorite songs. Definitely the highlight of the album. The rest of the album is pretty great as well. Mick's voice is sublime. He really shines on Planetary Confinement (i.e. Weight Of The World and Legions

)

Katatonic89 · September 19th, 2008, 10:27 AM

All I can say is christians really knows how to fucking rock your socks off:

You Tube

NvmbrsDoom5 · September 19th, 2008, 12:15 PM

It sounds like the Vapors meets Sublime, played by the people who keep coming to my house at 9 am on Saturday morning trying to get me to take their pamphlets.

I thought that Les Paul was cool until I saw it has P-90 soapbar pickups in it. Yuck.

You keep rockin' the fuck out of Jesus, you fuckin' hardass bastards.

FrostGiant · September 19th, 2008, 12:33 PM
