I saw the 20th anniversary show, with Blackwater Park, in London. Was some really good stuff.

Sounds like a poo poo time. Why not for a 25th anniversary play Orchid or Morningrise in full instead of prog-master Ghost Reveries.

The Clit Avoider posted:Nothingface is over twenty-five years old, you're agreeing with me Well, sort of, but when I think "old production" I think of something that sounds gritty, lo-fi, and not digitized. And Nothingface has a much more sterile and lifeless sound, something which a lot of traditionalists will say is an emblematic problem of modern production jobs.

Well, I was being facetious (in both posts), but really, to me, when I said "old production" it was more about music that has actually been mixed and produced with the actual recording being used as the basis for work, rather than seemingly to a pre-determined generic template of levels and compression that "should" be the result. That in itself is a fallacy (hence my lack of seriousness), since there's always been people who have a template sound that they work towards or around. I mean, there's no way in hell that Scott Burns' production was 100% the best job for every band he worked with, but it was en vogue at the time.

Nordick posted:Also, despite the muddy production, The Time of the Oath is still just as great an album as Master of the Rings. time of the oath and master of the rings are the only good albums they've done since keeper pt 2 (disclaimer: haven't listened to a whole album of new helloween in almost a decade but nothing indicates that they're fixing their poo poo)

if you don't hold your head cocked back for the first few seconds of Ghost of Perdition and then begin furiously headbanging once it kicks in then what are you even doing

Really really digging Sigh's new album. It almost has a psuedo-live sounds to it, I kinda like the mix.

Ghost Reveries gets a pass in my book due to harlequin forest. Though Damnation is their best work they have done in my opinion, and it isn't even a metal album.

A human heart posted:I went to this over the weekend. Grave Upheaval are excellent, Temple Nightside are very good, Impetuous Ritual put on a good show even though I don't like their music so much, and Sinistrous Diabolus are the heaviest live band I've ever seen. Vesicant are also a band to keep an eye on if you're at all into black/death, their new material sounded very promising. Thanks for the heads up on Vesicant. They do indeed sound promising. They're giving away a download of their 2-track demo here. I'm a nice guy so I gave them two bucks for it.

Sure sounds like a Megiddo song. Still not sure why Chorazaim took 13 years to do this, because its not like he was really all that active in other bands. I mean, Sepulchre was cool and all but that also just 15 minutes of music 4 years ago.

Yeah, I think Opeth are one of those bands that the first album that you dig will always be your favourite. For me? It's Still Life.

Demonic Death Judge give me the same vibe, although they are groovier and less death metal oriented. Also stuff like Asphyx obviously.

Damnation is loving beautiful and would have been a nice note to go out on. Storm Corrosion has the same feel in terms of composition and structure - its gorgeous and made me miss the old Opeth.

My feeling on Ghost Reveries was pretty meh for a while, but I gave it another listen a couple months ago and was surprised how much I liked it. Lopez sounded like he woke up behind the kit, and I really liked the addition of a full-time keyboard player. Great guitar work too. Blackwater Park will probably always be my favorite though.

At least you'll need the seats when you need a nap halfway through the set.
