I've actually listened to it a fair bit, but have been a lazy bastard and not posted my thoughts on it.

How're you traveling, lads?

>>316
I'll post my thoughts on it next saturday.
It's much more easy to listen than Obscura.

>>317
Shit I forgot. I'll post it tomorrow.

>>319
That's okay. This board's slow, so I don't think anyone will notice.

I've actually been listening to these albums on and off since last year, gotta thank you for a better rendition of Part I.

>Highpoints/Overview
*Rhythm wise
A Little Time -If 'I'm Alive' didn't get you on board, this did.
Twilight of the Gods -Exalting itself above the previous primal shout, it makes the lyrics shine fiercely.
Future World -My favorite, even if it's the weak one lyrics wise
Helloween -Makes little pause from FW, only to pick back up. I see A Tale that Wasn't Right, Future World and this to be the ones that accentuate their lyrics best.

*Lyrics wise [I love this kind of thematic albums so bear with me]
I'm Alive -Initiation was the door, this is our character that has entered it.
A Little Time -Ambition and reality can never be 1:1, not even close. Nevertheless it is not strong to admit that, it is strong to strive for it.
Twilight of the Gods -The Clash, The Debacle. This makes a break from asserting the character and shows a shift, an Event Horizon in his world. The tides are going to mold him, whichever his stance.
A Tale That Wasn't Right -The great peak in lyrics, it showcases the withstanding of misery: painful and borderline unbearable, but something to stand through. Not a ray of light is shown, which is never how it is supposed to be.
Future World -After a crash there is a boom, the former is the previous track and this here is the latter. Another time is akin to another world, and after a world of pain a world of life offers itself.
Halloween - A self-contained story reminiscent of a power of yore, something that can change the nature of a man. No longer pain and hope, no longer restrictions and possibilities; at being elevated by it the choices are of the highest order: Heaven or Hell. Such are the stakes that the Dark One himself presents all that could be desired, but the righteous chooses to take a stand.
Follow The Sign -The walk has been walked, and the path ahead signaled.

And that's kind of fast, but not really metal.

Was hoping for more funerary stuff, actually.

Still appreciated.

>>251
You mean funeral? Here ya go.

>>252
You had me up until Frenchie McFrench started jizzing in my ear.

Phenomenal debut in my opinion.

Listen to "The first Damned" and also "Winds of creation"

I was going to upload a Lossless file but my upload speed is fucking slow so I'll just paste a shitty link to Youtube.

KILL ALL 3DPD

the faggots on here can't even tell a difference, I say do what thou wilt

I like it

Is that even really powerviolence? I always just saw them as grindcore

>>298
Now that is some rare metal.

>>298
This is really fucking good. Post more pls.

I had the album on my hard drive couple years ago but I don't know what happened to it so my search is good as yours. Band name is "XIII. Stoleti". If you want more accurate results copy that weird "i" at the end from the mp4 filename.

>>301
Well I found a torrent for all their albums that only had 1 seed. Thankfully I could actually finish the download so I'm seeding for a while.

Magnet if anyone wants: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:fbbb375abf8834bddd2d935f63c8c9dffe338bff&dn=XIII%20Stoleti&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3a80%2fannounce&tr=http%3a%2f%2ftracker.openbittorrent.com%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.publicbt.com%3a80%2fannounce&tr=http%3a%2f%2ftracker.publicbt.com%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2finferno.demonoid.com%3a3390%2fannounce&tr=http%3a%2f%2finferno.demonoid.com%3a3390%2fannounce

Too lazy to actually upload the files here because my internet is shit and it'd take forever.

>>299
That's because it's goth.

>>276
I listened to it. It's really weird, like Morbid Angel on LSD.

>>284
It only maintained that for the intro, I felt. An intro which sounded more like a recording of someone opening the ark of the covenant than the start of an EP.

When I was younger I liked listening to the mid-90s meloblack/death style of bands such as Unanimated, Dissection and Sacramentum.
Here are some bands I remember liking from that style which only have 1 album to their name:

if anyone is interested in Frostmoon, I got this download link of their compilation named Tordenkrig in a 8chan sharethread : https://mega.nz/#!uIsj0JIZ!f2E2o5nJNlpMnDOjorGfUt2SiQiA2fHquPv1igYbs-o

>>305
Should've posted that link as well seeing as I'm the one who uploaded it.

One of my favorites from New York skinheads No Alibi.

>Without their White Power shirts they just look like guys you'll find in your local D&D club.

I thought exactly the same.

We should listen to something obligatory, that everyone should know. I suggest Keeper of the Seven Keys parts 1&2.

>>261
Aye, let's give it til the end of the month.

>>263
And then move onto Helloween's opus?

>>268
Works for me.

Alright, so the end of the month is approaching, has anyone really listened to it yet ? If that's not the case, I think we should move on another record. Keeper of the Seven Keys was proposed, maybe this is a good idea, but we'll make it in another thread.

I didn't give it a serious listen yet, as last week I had some exams (and the two weeks before I was studying :^) ), and I don't think I'll do a track-by-track this time, but I'll give a general feeling for the album.

So, I know Obscura since November, and I really loved Cosmogenesis (perfect/10) and didn't listen to any of their other albums (save for Akróasis, of course).

I think Akróasis is a bit behind Cosmogenesis, but it is surely a grower, as some tracks that I didn't really noticed at first (eg. Ode to the Sun) seem to be really good now.

The use of the fretless bass is something I really like, but it is a little bit under-exploited in the whole album, save for some tracks. The vocoder is hit-or-miss, I think it's well used in this album but a bit too present compared to Cosmogenesis.
Globally, all the instruments are well-played (he, it's tech death..). The drumming and grooves are impressive I think.

The first four tracks are great, Akróasis and Ten Sepiroth surely being highlights from the album.

Ode to the Sun is a grower, a little bit different (less technical ?) from the rest of the album, but I didn't really like it at first. An interesting track so, but I can't tell anything worthy on it.

I haven't got anything to say on the last 4 tracks, except that it is good but it looses the listener a bit. Weltseele, the 15 minutes track is surely great, but I listened to it just once, at 3. AM, and I fell asleep (maybe because of the clean parts).

>>303
Thanks for making the effort, anon.

This month got stupid busy, and I didn't have a lot of enthusiasm to check out this album.

I'll definitely go back and give it a listen some time soon, but I think you're right in that we should move on to Helloween.

How were you able to attach multiple files at once?
