I was feeling like my raves over Jess & the Ancient Ones were ignored back in April, so it's nice to see people digging it now.
Wish I'd noticed, this thread moves fast. I must have been away at the time, because I would have investigated if I'd seen your post.

re: Evoken, the second track ("Descent Into Chaotic Dream") is pretty stunning. Love me some doom.
The new Gaza is pretty damn great, too.

I was thinking of going to see Nachtmystium but just realized it was last night. My brain is broken. Any thoughts on their album?
― Fastnbulbous, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 23:22 (eleven years ago) link
its great
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 23:25 (eleven years ago) link
It's great. I know Adrien thinks that it's a step back, but you really need to listen to it a few times before you realize that all the stuff they were playing with on the last two albums is still there, it's just interwoven into the black metal.

what the hell is progressive *power metal* and should I listen to this?
Progressive power metal voyagers VISION DIVINE, the band founded by guitarist/songwriter Olaf Thorsen (Labyrinth) and singer Fabio Lione (known for his work in Rhapsody, Rhapsody Of Fire and most recently for having served as lead vocalist with Kamelot during their Poetry For The Poisoned tour) announce the release of their new studio album, Destination Set To Nowhere. Set to drop in North America on September 18, 2012 via Eagle Rock imprint Armoury Records, the band’s seventh full-length offers up a melting pot of epic metal anthems with a futuristic twist. Featuring 11 tracks, the saga follows a man’s journey through outer space. He, along with other like-minded individuals, fled the earth out of social-political frustration. Together they eventually locate a new planet to inhabit where they could truly live out their visions of peace. Slowly though, they revert to the same ideologies they meant to leave behind. The only escape is to set out again, one man leaving alone: destination set to nowhere. Comments Olaf Thorsen of the offering: “We are sure this album will finally give us the chance to show all of our potential; we worked hard on it in order to give the best possible album. In the end, we went even beyond our expectations thanks to the excitement and the good vibes we got from starting this adventure.” VISION DIVINE:Fabio Lione - VocalsOlaf Thorsen - GuitarsFederico Puleri - GuitarsAlessio Lucatti – Keyboards, PianoAndrea “Tower” Torricini - BassAlessandro Bissa - Drums

"Progressive power metal" is basically code for "European."
― Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Thursday, 2 August 2012 02:07 (eleven years ago) link
I'm a bit down on the new Nachtmystium, yeah. There are three or four really great songs on it, though, so it's not a total loss. But the last three albums were a helluvalot more interesting, that's for sure.

I'm not sure if I've noticed many of his other reviews before (I tend to head towards the J Bennett and ilxors' reviews first) but I don't think I could disagree with Chr1s D1ck more on his Conan review in the new Decibel.

Negative? That's a mighty fine doom album if you ask me.
― A. Begrand, Thursday, 2 August 2012 19:35 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, it was a 5 out of 10. Don't have it in front of me, but complained mostly that it was really boring and doom-by-numbers, iirc.

I would wager that it was Prozak

I don't often agree with Chris, but I've come to enjoy his writing.
― Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Thursday, 2 August 2012 21:58 (eleven years ago) link
I don't think anyone will be surprised to hear that the new Grave album sounds like a Grave album. I still think their first comeback record, Back From the Grave, is the best thing they've done since returning, but none of their subsequent releases have been bad, just predictable. Which is fine. They're probably my favorite of that wave of Swedish bands - I listen to them for pleasure much more often than I listen to Entombed or Dismember.

So I just may possibly get to see Sabbath tomorrow night after all. I know, I know. Don't tell me how much they suck now, this is probably my only chance ever to see them life so I want to take it.

I mean, I know Ozzy has been a joke live for years, but getting to see Iommi tear through some of those riffs live? Geezer?

Heaven and Hell were great a few years back, which I think speaks well for the power of Tony and Geezer.

Thanks. Peace out metal thread dudes. Its been real. iatee and his troll cronies have won, i'm getting out of this board before i need to take any more of their bullshit. I'd like to keep in touch with some of you guys though, if you are interested send me an ilxmail.

jon you on fb? webmail or email me if you still have my addy
but dont go.Just post on ilm or something
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 3 August 2012 03:54 (eleven years ago) link
i have your email, i'll hit you up. its more than a) iatee and his buddies are making up fake quotes about me advocating a race war (supposedly in jest, but i think attributing potentially inflammatory shit to another poster is nagl and bullshit) and b) the mods are joining in and piling on instead of doing anything about it. this place is a fucking haven for trolls.

Jeez Jon, thicken thy skin brother. At least you don't have black metal hip-hop bands writing death threat raps about you.

Jon as a mod I want to make it clear that I was very much not joining in w/ any of that bullshit and I think you should stay.

Stay Jon or at least send me an email or something. Hope to make it to Chicago one day and say hi.

No offense, but anyone who was in the area who had the opportunity to see Black Sabbath at Lolla last night and didn't, is a f***ing retarded azzhat. So I hope you made it Jon, ha ha! My review - http://fastnbulbous.com/sabbath-at-lollapalooza-none-more-black/

wouldn't go for free. don't care if I was missing literally the greatest rock performance of all time. Bill Ward's beats are as essential to those songs as the riffs. they can take what they did to him and shoved it up their moneyed asses. nice writeup though!!
