NEWSFLASH: crisp production< astounding atmosphere

i've been getting this lately:

"filo! i cant hear all the instruments, i'd rather be able to hear it."

me:"what good is a crisp production if it sucks?"

them: but you cant have a lousy production for death metal and gothic metal!

me: ever wonder why those two genre's originality are spread far and few?

now now, dont get me wrong, i love a crisp production

BUT

the best music i've ever heard (agalloch, abusiveness, opeth) all have iffy production

but in exchange, you get this... in lack of a better word, fantastic atmosphere

I win, you lose.

i shall talk about why i am better than you.

recently, i ordered Mournful congregations's dawn of mournful hymns.

FYI: its the compellation album that contains all of MC's old works

and by the laws of underground metal, a bands' demos are their best works.

so, all the demos in one + underground doom band +  ordered from japan= damn good album.

now, i shall wait out the excruciating two weeks and i shall get my clammy little hands on it.

Album Review

Back to Times of Splendor Disillusion

wow, the moment i heard this album, and to a lesser extent, gloria. disillusion blew my pants off.all their songs are as long as the normal prog metal songs, yet they dont include all that **** with 15 minute guitar solos, AKA: wankery. they manage to keep it interesting. very melodic, the singing is superb, as is the guitar riffs and flow. and as i fall into the interlude of their magnum opus "back to the times of splendor (the song)" i think to myself, "i suddenly remember why i love metal".

any metal listener who likes originality should certainly buy it (dont download it cocksuckers this is worth the money)

Album Review

In Their Darkened Shrines Nile
""
Nile has always been one of the leading death metal bands in an otherwise limit genre in originality.
this band has always been able to creat orignal and brutal music with death metal mixed with egyptian chant music

this album is argualbly their magnum opus.

their music here is brilliant, progressive, and downright heavy as f*ck.

songs like Sarcophagus is surprisingly melodic, while others like Execration Text are insanely brutal

step 1: buy this album
step 2: worship it like the egyptians worshipped Ra
step 3: buy the album agian, nile deserves every penny

Artist Review

Scar Symmetry Rock/Pop
""
A very good band, it's riffs and vocals are rather catchy, and the riffs are very melodic yet agressive.
they sound very similar to soilworks mid era works (predators portrait, NBC) lets hope these guys dont end up like soilwork also.
my personal favorite song, "reborn" has a pleasant blend of harsh and clean vocals, and agressive, yet melodic riffs
keep up the good work
