Ok I have the Scion Rock Fest review...do you guys want me to post it here or make a new thread or what?

AeonicSlumber · March 15th, 2009, 01:48 AM

Make a separate thread plz.

AeonicSlumber · March 15th, 2009, 04:27 PM

Neige, you Frenchie bastard, you've done it again!

AeonicSlumber · March 15th, 2009, 04:47 PM

So far the likely contenders to make my year end list are Amesoeurs, Mastodon, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Ephel Duath, and Wolves In The Throne Room. As much as I like the new WITTR, it is likely the first bounce off.

now I need to find moar

Gadlor · March 24th, 2009, 11:33 AM

just ordered a few jams for listening purposes.

first to arrive was the firstborn - the noble search. wacky buddhist medal! i need to listen to it again but it's kind of like orphaned land and textures minus the weird howling of the vocalist of textures. it's intriguing but did not necessarily grab me on first run-through. i'll try it again today.

soon to arrive:
woe of tyrants - kingdom of might
obscura - cosmogenesis
diagonal - diagonal
dagoba - face the collosus
amaseffer - slaves for life
mena brinno - wicked polly
absu - absu
architects - hollow crown
luna mortis - the absence

to be clear, i'm not sure which of these have actually been released in 2009. :O

AeonicSlumber · March 25th, 2009, 10:54 PM

A CHALLENGER APPEARS

... AND ANOTHER!!!

Bleak Eyes · March 27th, 2009, 11:48 PM

I have already heard great things about the new Isis.

Gadlor · March 29th, 2009, 11:16 AM

I've never really been able to get into doom. Except maybe Forest of Shadows (but I don't know if that even counts) / November's Doom / While Heaven Wept. Actually I don't know if any of those count.

Is there somewhere I should start?

PS. Has anyone heard the Crimfall CD hither? It's kind of silly. Epic folky metal but with less melodicness than you'd normally expect, I think.
Cloudkicker, too - http://cloudkicker.uk.googlepages.com/ instrumental wacky metal, kind of like Meshuggah except you don't feel like your skull caved in afterwards. (both albums are free to download)

Bleak Eyes · March 29th, 2009, 11:56 AM

I never got into total doomy bands.

I listen to Katatonia, Rapture, Saturnus, Slumber, and Daylight Dies specifically. They have doom qualities for sure. Check them out.

Gadlor · March 29th, 2009, 12:28 PM

I'm listening to Anubis Gate's "The Detached" right now. Pretty solid progressive stuff - similar to Circus Maximus whom I love with all my body.

also: super useful list for all of us...

Isis isn't doom, they're post rock/metal (see God Is An Astronaut, Red Sparowes, Explosions In The Sky, Cult Of Luna, Neurosis, Intronaut, some Mastodon etc). I actually personally never got into them until this new CD which I reeaaally dig. The bands Bleak Eyes listed are sweet plus My Dying Bride, oldschool Paradise Lost, Candlemass. Stoner/doom like Electric Wizard and Sleep are also win.

I had presumed that he was referring to Candlemass, but I could be wrong.

froosch · March 29th, 2009, 05:20 PM

It took me years of being into metal for doom to grow on me. And it started with some of the doomish/not-really-doom bands listed above. I'm still not as into it as I am some other genres, but I am starting to get really into sludge as of recent. Baroness especially.

Gadlor · March 29th, 2009, 10:22 PM

Right. I was referring to Candlemass. I'm fairly familiar with Isis.

I have a Rapture and a Daylight Dies release. I think, in general, it has too much of a downer effect on my mood for me to really enjoy it (when you're like 'bluhbluhbluh life sux

' afterwards, it's not really worth it).

I think I've been listening to metal for about 9 years now...I guess if I don't like doom now, I'm probably not going to like it.

Don't think of Candlemass in the same light as Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride. Yes there are similarities, but Candlemass leans more towards the traditional heavy metal vibe. Dio-era Sabbath is without a doubt Candlemass' biggest influence. The new CD is awesome because of it's crushing riffs and infectious as fuck tunes.

Although to be fair, I don't like any of the Candlemass CDs after Nightfall with the exception of this new one.

Even better than Alcest.

AeonicSlumber · April 1st, 2009, 12:22 AM

It's different from Alcest... I don't think I can even compare the two... hah. Neige is a damn genius, I'm excited for what the future holds for him. I really hope he continues to push musical boundaries.

Uneasy_Conscience · April 1st, 2009, 02:33 PM

i might as well make the observation that the logo is illegible and ask what the band/album is.

AeonicSlumber · April 1st, 2009, 03:27 PM

Amesoeurs - S/T

Uneasy_Conscience · April 1st, 2009, 09:12 PM

It's a hybrid of genres. Black metal, indie rock, some punk rock, some goth rock a la The Cure, some post rock.

Thanx gaddy for reminding me that there's a new Orphaned Land CD coming out. Can't wait!
