Gumbo72203 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm genuinely interested. Also: Kokomo - "Epochs and Archives" Unless you count that I wish that song were 10 minutes longer so I can just keep listening to that outro But that's what replay buttons are for I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Millions Now Living Will Never Die turns 20 today, I just put it on yesterday but I'll use this as an excuse to play it again today (as if I needed one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 So, that Graveface press of "Solace" is back up on Discogs. Dude is still asking for $80. I want it but will not pay $80 for it, as I've spent so much on so much other shit recently. Grrrrrr. I want that record. So criminally under-pressed.

Went downtempo tonight for the insane week and dusted off Omega Massif's "Geisterstadt" (I hear Gumbi footsteps...can't wait to read the write up on this one as it took me a few listens to find the right mood for this group). Karpatia tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapalmBrain Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 according to Rachel Grimes there will be some news regarding this release sometime early this year, I'm hoping for a first time lp release. It would have to be a triple lp though. But this song fucking gets me every time drds89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurazz Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Love Omega. What about Kalt? Everything they put out was awesome. Can't wait to hear Phantom Winter's next album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 The Denovali remaster of it is so good. It's so thick, and that clear with Splatter. One of my favorite pressings. I wish I had their entire catalogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizio59 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 For me, even if Geisterstadt and Kalt are both extremely good albums, Karpatia is their best, they pushed it to the next level there imo. The deluxe version with that nice triple gatefold and the splatter second pressing are both amazing as hell and the sound is simply huge. I think it's time to revisit then.

Yeah, you definitely have to find a copy. Also the 3rd pressing on black with white splatter should have what it takes to be interesting. I've never even seen a pic of it (except for the Denovali mock up) but I'd love to. About the quality of their releases, Denovali is up there for me. Timo is a very kind and professional guy, that is always appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the quality of their releases, Denovali is up there for me. Timo is a very kind and professional guy, that is always appreciated. Yeah, I really, really want to. It's been on my list for a long time. Every variant is on my wantlist on Discogs. I've never really seen one for a good price though, that's in the US at least. There is a black copy up for $30, but I really want a splatter, cause they just look so damn cool. And it would go with my copy of Kalt. Speaking of Denovali, I'm about to finally pull the trigger on the Té collection. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'm not familiar with the material from the Te collection enough to pull the trigger on that, but their most recent single album (the darker colored background with horizontal lines) is fucking awesome. Just finally caved and bought a few things I've had in my cart forevvvvver: Frames - In Via (LP + CD) for only $9 new, and Gates - Bloom & Breathe on milky clear with blue and green splatter. It looks gorgeous. I already have the slipcase limited oxblood and grimace purple variant, which I haven't opened yet, so we'll see which one I crack first. I'm supposed to be saving money, but I keep buying records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I was going to do a group buy for a few people if anyone was interested, but he savings isn't that much. Only like $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpatia tomorrow. Listening to Geisterstadt right now. This is... interesting. It's like post-rock doom. Doom is not something that really ever does anything for me. It's often TOO slow for my tastes, but these guys hit some good moments. Not completely in my wheelhouse. Year of No Light on the other hand... whooooooweeeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Kalt, yes! just no vinyl yet. YONL definitely gets more plays than Omega, but there's a time and a place for OM, very much like "Departure Songs." Not your party-time music. Heaviness in the real world in which we are but a vapor. Grounding kind of stuff. Eliminator Jr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaviness in the real world in which we are but a vapor. Grounding kind of stuff. Yeah I see what you're saying. There definitely WERE parts of it that I did like. But doom just... isn't really my thing. Unless it's Year of No Light. Those guys aren't really "doom" though, they just SOUND like DOOM. Kind of like "Deficit" by Russian Circles. That is the doomiest thing ever, and it is not doom metal. "Deficit" sounds like what I imagine it will feel like when the world finally does end.

mrewest Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Speaking of RC, did anyone listen to those new songs in that live vid I posted a couple pages back? Surprised at the lack of hype for their new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Speaking of RC, did anyone listen to those new songs in that live vid I posted a couple pages back? Surprised at the lack of hype for their new one. Personally, I did not. But that's because I've experienced incongruities when listening to single songs off of albums I'l be sure to enjoy and get lost in to the fullest. With that being said, I am super hyped on the new RC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised at the lack of hype for their new one. I did get to play through them once, and really liked the ambience of Afrika. Calla also had some good parts, but I need to revisit the songs. Russian Circles is a weird band for me. Some songs I absolutely LOVE, but some songs do absolutely nothing for me, usually when they get super technical with lots of their tapping riffs.
