So, what you listening to right now? Of course, gotta start it with: Vintersorg // The Focusing Blur And, we're off!
Arcturus - Deamonpainter (live at Inferno 2005). Seems to be that SS was not released yet and some of the vocal lines are really weird
Katatonia // Night is the New Day // Forsaker New single released a while back if you guys haven't heard it. I love these guys.
^ I love the build-up in that track. Lights Out Asia - Sigil Garmonia (2003) Beautiful electro/ambient with triphop-like beats.
hate to admit it but the only Immortal album i'd heard before was I - Between Two Worlds... which i really loved. So i kinda don't know their old epic stuff (only the vids ) and cannot compare... So with that in mind, i really like All Shall Fall so far! dunno yet which track i like most as this is the 2nd time i'm listening to it. And you?
Borknagar - The Inner Ocean Hypotesis I've heard it like 6-7 times and I think it's boring, sadly. Good production, some good riffs here and there but boring as a whole. There's no really outstanding songs as I can hear on it, no one that could be considered a classic with time nor a track that deseves to be a live staple. Norden on Fire sounds like a ATHOW leftover and tries to be really epic but for me it doesn't work too well; Arctic Swarm seems to be best track, it has the black metal agression and some good dynamics, but for me sounds like a song that could be included on any album since Blizzard Beast, without being really noticeable. I didn't like it much also for the thrash/black'n roll influences that sometimes emerge. My fav Immortal albums are Pure Holocaust, At the Heart of Winter and Battles in the North. SOND have some really good songs on it too. It was a really good way to end their legacy (on those times). My lil' review most be read with that in mind.
I didn't get it. I'm broke, so I pretty much only listen to new music that I get as promo for my review site.
Right now I'm listening to the Wardruna show from Incubate Festival on Youtube. Holy hell, I wish I was at those shows.
It's a little more Metal than the Storm album. Raymond is back to doing some harsh vocals which is great, and Nell sounds just as good as she did on Storm. Overall it a really good album. These guys are incredible.
