Funny you mention only Evoken's last two albums when comparing this album to the previous ones. Evoken has been consistently dominating the funeral doom genre since pretty much their first album. Its not exactly that they do anything particularly special or different, they just do the same thing BETTER than everybody else does. Aside from some minor production flaws, this album is no exception., and I think its probably their best since Quietus.

In all honesty, because those are the only other two that I've listened to

because funeral doom titans Evoken have returned

It must be a different band, because Evoken are NOT funeral doom.

And you had to fly down like a vulture and pick on the first occasion to preach about genres.

As I said a million times before, I do it when your reviews are clearly misleading the reader on the genre. If you don't get it, I rest my case.

When over 99% of people identify Evoken with the funeral doom genre in some way (and rightfully so) it isn't misleading

You must correct a hell of a lot of times then because that "error" is definitely not limited to this website.

Written by Merchant of Doom on 02.12.2012 at 18:03


It is, because you keep misrepresenting the genre. Every time you get it wrong, I will here to tell your readers it's wrong, unless you ban me. I won't comment the rest of your post, because it's just pathetic.

Not really a mockery... I just think this is appropiate.

There's a reason this isn't true, and that's because no one else gives a shit about the very vague blurry lines of Evoken's funeral death-doom style When over 99% of people identify Evoken with the funeral doom genre in some way (and rightfully so) it isn't misleading, so stop trying to be the representative of the unspoken masses (because let's be honest: small circle jerk at doom-metal.com is not the masses) and just admit that you just like to stick your oar in every couple of months about this exceptionally boring and irrelevant subject

Is this band anything like Esoteric? I am not a big doom metal fan but I kinda dig Esoteric.

While you're here why don't you scoot over to these sites, all of which were taken from the first couple of pages of Google which relate or liken the band / album to the funeral doom genre in someway, and tell them they don't know what they're talking about and are misrepresenting the genre.

Written by Merchant of Doom on 02.12.2012 at 19:20

They don't. Lots of wrong opinions don't make consensus, they just make general ignorance. You should know better than this. I'm disappointed.

He would probably call it just death/doom.

Then again... I'm pretty sure he would deny how Funeral Doom started off as simply playing death/doom slower + keys.

Regarding the unprovable such as religion, yes, regarding something that IS defined by mass opinion, no. Most metalcore doesn't contain punk yet it is defined as such. It becomes a neoligism to describe a particular sound, and the vast majority regard Evoken to have distinct ties to the funeral doom genre because they have a sound which is readily associated with it. That is the way it is. You saying that it's not true does not make it so.

What I find disappointing is how much time you spend wasting and losing sleep over such a pithy and, I repeat, completely irrelevant, topic. It's a little sad.

You are really clutching at straws, now, aren't you? It's opinions and I don't really understand why you are getting so uptight about it.
