Tagging issue in the first paragraph 
Seems interesting, I will check this out right now. To Youtube! |
|
|
|
| BitterCOld's high scores are always to be taken seriously. Will check this out. |
|
|
|
| I like this one a lot more then the previous album. Never really got into that one. |
|
|
|
| I was introduced to this band by the song " Perpetual Solitude" which struck in my mind for months and indeed that was one hell of great album. From a first listen, i thought it's a intercourse of Ahab and Esoteric( vocally!) and very underrated bunch of dark Doom guys who needs an another good release to grab some really good fans and see...this album came up their best and will do wonders. |
|
|
|
| Intrigued to say the least. |
|
|
|
| Truthfully i was going to score it an 8 based upon first couple listens, but the more i listened to it, the more i found stuff i really enjoyed here and there... with each passing listen i found i appreciated it more. the vast majority of albums seem to go the opposite route for me. |

|
|
A "must have", this year, for all doom worshippers...  |

The previous one was actually their demo. But Vàn Records picked it up and released it as their debut. It was all home recording and such. |

They have a song up on Bandcamp.
It sounds pretty massive and excellent. |

Well compared to the doom releases I've listened to so far this year I would consider it at least more extreme.  |

It is extreme dom though not extremely extreme but a lot more extreme than what some people deem extreme doom or what was nominated in the MS Awards extreme doom category.
Faal you could classify as black doom hence extreme doom. |

|
| I was talking about the music itself, not the genre. Just because they were put in the extreme doom category at the MS Awards doesn't mean they have to be that extreme. The album is quite melodic, actually. |

Probably some of the best Esoteric worship I've come across to date.
But I'm thinking that's because I don't often come across Esoteric worship at all, unfortunately. Hopefully Chandler lends his expertise to a few more bands... |

sorry for going off-topic but this intrigued me :
Only band I know that falls under this category is Arcana Coelestia, any other bands I should know about ? |

| Does the name Faal rhyme with the English verb "fail"? I assumed it would be like adding an "l" to the word "far"... |

faal is actually closer to "fahl", but it means fail. |

nope Faal doesn't rhyme with fail.
Like BitterCOld said it is close to fahl the way Faal is pronounced and faal is the Dutch word for fail. |

Thanks, now the wordplay does make sense indeed : ) |

yes it does. But then again Faal have been confronted by that sort of wordplay ever since their first ever gig midway 2008 |

Nope
I remember at their debut gig when they opened for Officium Triste who had their try out gig with their latest drummer, the following conversation between Pim and me "well, hopefully this Faal won't be a fail" |

Did one of you smack the face of the other who said that for such a lame pun? |

nah. Pim had to check the band out because it would be a possible opener for Dutch Doom Days that year. Well, their first gig impressed us both and he booked them to open the Saturday of Dutch Doom Days 2008 (see report on it by Lucas, Collin and me) |

Profetus - funeral doom.
Tort and Lurk are sludge/doom that are awesome. Doc Godin reviewed those. he preferred Lurk, I prefer Tort.
Process Of Guilt comes out next month, and is a mix of doom and Neurosis/Cult of Luna stay post...
Solitude sent me a bunch of stuff, apparently, that should arrive soon so i am likely to have more to report. Most of the doom i've listened to this year was put out by them late last year. |

In addition to the OBC's suggestions, I'd also go with Monolithe (reviewed by Joe), Ea (reviewed by Bitter), Anhedonist (no profile here but awesome evil-sounding death doom), and Inverloch (members of diSEMBOWELMENT... so... old school plodding crunchy death doom). |

Oh yeah, I already bought that Anhedonist album from Dark Descent due to glowing reviews. Haven't listened to it enough, but my first impression was definitely positive. Inverloch and Process of Guilt will probably be my net stops after that. Thanks the for suggestions, guys. |

| Album release gig tonight in 013, Tilburg together with monsters Ophis and Ataraxie. Hell, psyched for it. Nice oozing into the weekend with Dordrecht Doom Day tomorrow which features Heavy Lord, Akelei, Seal Of Beleth, Ophis, Mythological Cold Towers and headliner Saturnus. |

I wasn't blown away by this album at first. But damn, it's growing on me by the day. Probably my favorite new metal album discovery, together with Pike. It indeed reminds me a lot of Esoteric, and probably Arcana Coelestia even more. They do that post-rockish tremolo picking very stylishly, better than Explosions in the Sky themselves.
The middle two tracks are maybe a little weaker, but the opener and especially the closer are just immense. |

This is excellent. So damn atmospheric, and not as slow as funeral doom (Which is a taste I haven't acquired yet). And the post-rock tremolo picking that IronAngel mentioned is stellar to say the least, especially in "Tempest". The tracks are all equally good, with "The Insistance's Wish" a very little bit behind.
Any other bands that play the same style? |
