This is so fucking terrible, the emptiness is too much, half the time it's just her "singing", when there are riffs they are identical, the synth sounds like it's getting a bad signal and is all glitchy sounding, almost like it could be in a Skrillex song, the only good part about this album are the piano pieces. They flow nicely, until she starts "singing" and total kills the entire song/album.



I'd rather have this in place of the vocals, would be less annoying.

listen to about 20 seconds of the first song, then you'll have heard the whole thing.

I disagree with the above trolling- if you're a fan of this genre, you won't be disappointed with Herodias' second release. The vocals are incredible (the best I've heard in a long time). Musically, this album transcends the high majority of music I hear these days. As for the production, dude.. it's a youtube vid..

I am a fan of doom in all its guises and to be honest this is pretty bad stuff, especially the horrendous vocals. Musically it meanders onwards and adds nothing to the doom genre at all.
But the rating Bocar gives this album is too low. Personally would rate it a 4.7 so a 5.

Beautiful work!!!!!!!!!!

Aha smock2's wife/girflriend chimes in. Let me guess you're the vocalist?

Wow- there are some nasty people on here. I really like this group and although I've only listened to the first 2 tracks, I think it's well done so far. Bravo!

Yeah this is pretty funny.

Also, be careful you don't break your arm patting yourself on the back there.


I'm not going to go on too much, I hope people will respect mine and Marcel's opinion here more than these people (from the band), who joined a few days ago to promote their album.

A few us of found this board on their facebook page. They posted the link to here and since the album just came out, we're helping a good band get exposure.. why does this bother you? I usually never come here, but they deserve to be heard.

Someone needs to inform Craig to drop a few nukes...

and ALL of you have the same ip-address, tracking back to New York?

Seriously??? I'm a fan of Herodias, go on the fb page all of the time. Mike posted this link there. I'm trying to help them. You guys are pathetic for acting this way.

I want to see how long this will go on. It's hilarious.

Um, Marcel, what you just did is totally illegal. You should back off.

Yeah, it's been quite amusing so far

I just hope all the ratings get nuked so this pile isn't stuck with a 8.7 :/

Nothing illegal about tracking IP-addresses. Especially not when you're a staff member.

And DO read our FAQ, multiple accounts are not allowed and will be banned.

Oh, one uestion though, WHEN did Herodias post this link on their Facebook page? Oh yeah I found it, June 17

DID HE JUST SAY THIS "and ALL of you have the same ip-address, tracking back to New York?" Wait a minute- isn't that against the law in the US?!

not when it is done by a staff-member. And even if it mgiht be illegal in the US it isn't here where I live and the laws I have to adher to

Well, it's a federal law in the US. Also, who cares if a few people live in the same area as the band? That's how some of us on here discovered them (from the LI scene). Again, they have a fb page and directed fans to the new video. Isn't it enough these guys are being obnoxious by posting these things? Let some of us help good people!

Like I said it is not allow to have multiple accounts here. So your ass isut.

As for being obnoxious? People aren't allowed to dislike something? Or aren't allowed to dislike the truly horrendous vocals?

I ordered this a couple of days ago. How does it compare to the 1st one? (since the opinion seems to be split between awsome and shit)

I never heard the first one. So I can't judge on that.

But this is one is totally NOT my thing and you know how big I am on my doom

But then again you think Gallhammer is brilliant whereas I find them to be the worst of the worst. I prefer Herodias last one over anything Gallhammer recorded

The first one was an interesting mix of neoclassical/darkwave sort of stuff and doom. Not sure if this is more of the same, but the first one isn't offensively bad by any means. Nothing to admire in the production but the vocals are a different story.

This was the icing on the cake for me but still, this whole conversation is just wow, almost hard to watch. You are such a criminal!

Lots of bits and pieces in tracks that sound like filler and shouldn't be there, but overall it's not so bad. I don't see a problem with the vocals, myself. Could have been better by not being attempts at classical singing, but not really cringe-worthy.

If her vocals weren't there I'd still give this a 5 or so. It's like they tried to piece it together, but gave up and left the gaps. At some places it's ridiculously empty.

WAOTY for 12 probably.
