The new Skyclad album is a Skyclad album. Not as good as Semblance of Normality, but still really good. Sounds more like later Walkier-era stuff, but is about as heavy as Semblance.

I finally listened to The Few Against Many. After hearing Bränd Mark whenever that was on their myspace the first time, I thought they had some potential with the symphonic elements. But I think the album was pretty base as far as riffs and such. The symphonies did not do enough for me, but I will always enjoy what I call the Dan Swanö keys. I also thought that Christian's vocals were not as powerful as they could have been.

You mean Moog synthesizers that have been used since Dan was in diapers? POSER!

Bleak Eyes · January 21st, 2010, 06:33 PM

Yeah, I have just never listened to anything before him that uses them.

At first I thought The Few Against Many album was garbage, then thought it was pretty cool... Now its just mehhhhhhhh. A few tracks are pretty sweet though.

You should listen to that EToS album some more, after listening to it a handfull of times I saw the glory.

If I would ever be in the mood.

eternal tears of sorrow? i thought they broke up a few years ago

edit: wtf they reformed and have two new albums?! are they anywhere near the quality of chaotic beauty and virgin and a whore?

AeonicSlumber · January 22nd, 2010, 10:11 PM

No. Too flowery in my opinion.

OvalShapedIncision · January 22nd, 2010, 11:11 PM

I absolutely loved Before the Bleeding Sun. I heard Chaotic Beauty and A Virgin and A Whore later but they didn't grab me, at least not yet.

Bleak Eyes · January 23rd, 2010, 01:27 AM

Yeah, Before the Bleeding Sun gets pretty epic.

ShadowCreator · January 23rd, 2010, 06:29 AM

Yeah, I love Before The Bleeding Sun too, I think the new one is at least equal to it or better now that I'm use to it... Definitely took a few listens though.

I enjoy the latest 2 much more than A Virgin And A Whore and Chaotic Beauty though they are also lovely... Really great band

I finally got around to checking out that Be'lakor album, and haven't really been able to stop listening to it. Really cool stuff.

Find A Place To Be Safe from Collapse Under the Empire is pretty solid.
