On something unrelated, listened to a track from The Great Mass by Septicflesh. I think I need this album.
5 fucking dates in California (half the tour), not one in Mass or even a neighboring state. The closest will be NY or the Maryland Death Fest. Not gonna happen. :?
In other news, the new Exhumed does have some fun tracks on it which are better than the sample I linked earlier. Total Carcass worship (Necroticism) as predicted, but the solos are quite tight and a lot of fun, velocity riffs.
I'll review it tomorrow.
I just don't get what they were trying to do with that album. Was it supposed to be atmospheric? It failed there. Was it supposed to envoke the feeling of traditional doom? Not really.
With Swanson warbling away and Bentley and his 'meh' riffs, the entire thing was a snorefest.
Yes, and I wore my Forteresse tee on the Plains of Abraham that day. They aren't exactly subtle about what they think of Québec and sovereignty.
In fact, most of that shit I posted was shit, and so now I look like a fucking idiot -> *thanks online Doom communities*. Unfortunately, I posted much of that on the strength of suggestion without taking my own opinion into account, because I'm not an expert, and unfortunately that has bit me on the ass at this point, because apparently the Doomster buzz is fucking dumb and has shitty taste.
The thing I found least likeable was how badly the vocal phrasing meshed with the underlying music in each of those bands I posted except Hour Of 13. Each and every one of Swanson's bands, except Ho13, sounds meek and timid - lacking conviction, and are terribly awkward in how the vox and music interact.
Hour Of 13 -> definitely Swanson's only good project, but it's not his anymore ... Anyways ...
Yes you do!!!
You want a Swedish band called Portrait.
Thank You sir. Any others worth a fuck?
And if you can imagine the moody aesthetics of Mercyful Fate blended in with blacker Venom speed metal riffing: then you want the almighty Sabbat (Japan) single-track opus The Dwelling. A personal favorite album.
I'll track it down, thanks!
I just picked up Sabbatrinity a few weeks back so I'll definitely check that out as well!
This is what I seek, the more old school and perfect the better.
Edit: I have the opening from A Dead Poem stuck in my head! I fucking love Rotting Christ!!

The first Running Wild album is also pretty evil but the vocals are obviously much different. Ditto for the first two from Savatage. Again, not KD/MF-like but just as moody and resonant and effective.
Yeah, the vox don't need to be anything like the King's, I just want classic evil riffs and evil lyrics in the old school style, and not even necessarily identical to MF/KD, but something not too far off (the closer the better, but I understand it gets tricky then :^
Fucking satanic HEAVY METAL, ya know ...
Thanks auto!
That should keep me busy today ...
Just not evil or interesting enough, weird tone for what they were trying to do as well.
We need ideas for names.
