What album are you listening to? v.6

A fucking masterpiece. So much heavier than On The Eve Of A Goodbye.

Dude, you keep draining my wallet. I just ordered the whole freaking discography for him. Checked out the various records on Bandcamp and pulled the trigger.

If you like good music you do!


I discovered them a couple of years ago. They released an album, On The Eve Of A Goodbye, and I was blown away by it. I sent it to Puppies (I think) in his roulette and he loved it too. It seemed to catch on. It's an intense story telling the tale of a friend of his that killed herself.


The Oubliette is a similar concept album about a guy with Alzheimer's.  But this is much heavier. Some growls used throughout. The Nightmare uses them almost exclusively.

But sample The Captive!
The video is here..

The playing is amazing on this.


You can order these (CD or d-load) really cheap from their website.

There's a really unique version of Fade To Black there too.

The Captive was pretty good, but man that's an Opeth copy if ever Ì've heard one.

[TAC]

I can see that, but I've never really gotten into Opeth for some reason.

They are a tough one to take to, I'll admit that.  I'll check more from The Reticent, because it was very good.

Steve Vai- Passion & Warfare

Tony Macalpine- Edge of Insanity

Shred fest. 

[ProfessorPeart]

Wow, this guy is talented. Plays every instrument and sings. I'm about halfway through this and it really hits the spot.

[wolfking]

I actually think I sampled that one when Tim pimped it a while ago.  Must not have clicked for me at the time.

He plays every instrument on The Oubliette as well I believe.

The latest one is MUCH heavier.

not wrong but

*gestures at last 10 years of opeth*

not like we're getting any new opeth anymore, so

Took the words right out of my mouth. This scratches the pre-Heritage Opeth itch.

Just finished this. Think an acoustic Damnation. So chill and soothing. Loved it.

If two wrongs don't make a right.....do two Not Wrongs make a right?

[wolfking]

Hmm...so we're both not wrong, does that actually make us both right?

I gave them a go in the dark ages when I was struggling to find things to listen to. Everyone was saying I would love them as I was into DT. Er no.
The music was awesome but the growls...
 I hoped they would get rid of them so I looked forward to Heritage. Wow, that was bland.
I did enjoy the last album though.

That's the only way to describe the decade from 92-02

I meant more that things were so dark you were trying a band like Opera to get your fix.  Pure desperation.
