It being one big song is a downer for me since I don't remember it ever being a good thing

I don't remember it ever being a good thing

ever being a good thing

a good thing

YA, like Deathspell Omega did with their EPs

New Ghost is really good.
Some properly brilliant but a couple that don't quite hit the right heights.

Solid 9/10 all the same.
Sturm und drang still my album of the year. Soilwork Maiden still to be released though so lets wait and see.

Luc quote

You forgot to link Drought
And I suppose one could even see Fas Ite Maledicti... as one long song.

Here's a few more interesting long songs / full one-song-albums.

[hellhamster]

You forgot to link Drought

Drought is multiple songs m8, as is Kenose.

[Duilliath]

Incorrect. Drought is one song. Take a closer look at the song titles.

Similar thing as with that Meshuggah album (Catch 33) that, in retrospect I totally should've linked, where they clipped one song into a couple tracks.

No mention of Crimson? For shame!



And, of course, Dopesmoker.

[Duilliath]

True dat. Could easily have mentioned those as well.

Oh, as to Fall of Efrafa, I'd prefer this track. Still my favourite, I think.

Another new Trivium song out!

I really enjoy it, more so then Silence in the Snow. I'm missing the screams a bit, they could at least have Corey (Main Guitar/Backing Vocals) have some screams here and there like they did on several previous songs, I think it would round it off a little better, and I've always been a huge fan of Corey's screams, hes pretty good actually.

also, something to listen:

Posting the greatest hour song of all time.

"B-but it's two tracks!"

Nope.

Also this is pretty good as far as hour long tracks go, despite that it wanks off hard in the middle.

I'm ashamed to say this, but to this day I haven't gotten around to listening to a full Deathspell Omega album.

And speaking of 1-track album albums:

[hellhamster]

Which one do you recommend? I'd personally start off with Paracletus since I heard the most about that one.

1. Start with Paracletus (probably the most accessible album).
2. Chaining the Katechon (split)
3. Fas – Ite, maledicti, in ignem aeternum (their least accessible album)
4. Kénôse (EP)
5. Mass Grave Aesthetics (EP)
6. Si monvmentvm reqvires, circvmspice (the record before the transformation that happened during Kénôse)
7. Drought (EP)
8. Diabolus Absconditus (EP)

[Duilliath]

I'd say Paracletus and Si Monvmentvm are probably the best two to start with. Si Monvmentvm is a bit more straight forward.

[hellhamster]

Yeah in retrospect I would put Si Monvmentvm higher.

[nbm02ss]

True dat. Could easily have mentioned those as well.

True enough. I'm ashamed I forgot about these, though:

[Progressiv]

Some fairly unknown Swedish melodeath with a heavy older Soilwork influence!

I'm a big fan of soilwork, thank you.

New Thy Catafalque coming out in the fall. FINALLY FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

New track sounds weird as shit: http://www.popmatters.com/post/19658...udio-premiere/

Who are Thy Catafalque? One of the most essential avant-garde bands, you should get into them asap:

[Fencers]

Greatly enjoying the new Ghost record. The arrangements and production are fabulous. I think the clean-ness of the production easily put some off- perhaps even more so on Ghost's Hard Rock take on Merciful Fate.

I sorta love it though.

[Devil Doll]

I still need to get a hold of those some time. Preferably not for stupendous amounts of money.

Honestly haven't decided yet. It's well done, but there's just so little there that I haven't heard before.
