Supposed to say Hardcore. I still stand by the Botch reference, so poo on you. This was one of the first ones I added, so it was just a copy paste and there is not much info. I'll have to go back and listen again.

It's alright, I'm sorry to be annoying with genre definitions.

I wonder what Alex (and others) think of #81?

I really wanted to like that album. The atmosphere is great and there are pieces to it that are right up my alley, but it just failed to stand out in any significant way for me. I've been listening to nearly solid BM for hours a day, so that probably has a lot to do with it. Alex can bring the posse and the noose, still don't care :-P

Solid example of all the good blackened death metal than's been being served up in the scene lately

Lol well obviously I disagree with his rating, and I'm assuming you bring me into this because of my constant "I <3 Desolate Shrine" spam? Because IfuckingloveDesolateShrine.

I'm not too fond of DM in general but I will probably still check out that album sooner or later, just because I'm curious about it.

Yeah, exactly because of that. I also saw it on FB on some discussion with some other MS regulars.

I think it sways more in the BM direction, but it has some of both.

Ah I see. Here on MS there's no BM tag, only a DM tag, so hence why I thought as such. Seeing as it's black/death (or vice versa ) I'm more eager to check it out.

Rating aside, it is definitely worth a spin. I think plenty of people will like it more than I did.

Crypt Sermon stoner? So, that would immediately make Candlemass and Solitude Aeturnus stoner as well.

Are we really going to split hairs on something I didn't bother scoring, admitted not having experience with, and actually recommended to others for a listen?

Yes mixing up stoner and epic doom is certainly worth mentioning.

Especially due to most die hard stoner fans despising epic doom and vice versa.

Fine, I will fix it. A PM with an explanation would have sufficed. I listen to close to no doom.

Wow, that comment really speaks volumes about your personality online. Just chill out, man.

Marcel is perfectly entitled to call you out on parts of your minireview that don't characterize the music very well, so really you should be more appreciative. You've hopefully learned more about what epic doom is and how it should be characterized, which will improve your further reviews. I've had similar experiences with !J.O.O.E!, who obviously has more experience with certain subgenres of metal, and I've come to appreciate people trying to improve my musical insight. Those sort of comments really help everyone and I think they should be encouraged!

Hey, cool list but Grutle is totally not the clean Vocalist for Enslaved, that would be the keyboardist, Herbrand.

Mind=blown. All this time I assumed it was Grutle. Thanks for the correction. And for the record, I was not mad at Marcel if it looked that way. I was going for a Napoleon Dynamite animated annoyance.

I would be so impressed if it was Grutle haha. But what you said is still true, the cleans have improved so much every release.

They really have. It's amazing seeing the steps from Isa to this one.

I like your list and the descriptions, and some of the selections here I wasn't aware were going to being released soon (so thank you for that), but the way you laid out the scoring criteria is a bit of an eyesore. Couldn't you just include it in the descriptions instead of dedicating entire lines to their purpose? It would look so much better compact and without the ugly spacings.

I like epic doom a lot and don't like stoner at all, so that's spot-on in my case.
