Man 'N' fukking kicks so much ass, it's thier best cd since Death Unlimited I think. So many powerful songs and Heikki's drumming is fukking amazing as well as Tuomas again pulling out something huge to. This album gonna be getting some serious listening to over the next few days eh.

i thought that CD didn't come out until february? or did you download it?

I downloaded it, I ain't fukking waiting till February 13th to hear it fukk that. Norther is my favourite band and I was to keen to hear it and couldn't wait, but it don't matter cause I will like always be buying a proper copy of it, if not 2 or 3 cause it's Norther After another listen I gotta say this album is seriously fukking cool indeed, Petri Lindroos is most definitely my god

that's cool. i wasn't asking because i was against downloading or anything (i download before i buy so i know i'm not wasting my money), i was just confused about the release date.

Well I'm sure it'll be good, they've only released great stuff. But oh how I want them to return to the sound of their first album. Well well, I'll buy it as soon as it comes out... no illegal downloadings here!

Norther is awesome, i just don't like Till Death Unites Us as much, i hope that they go back to their more agressive sound on Death Unlimited. Time will tell.

i went and downloaded it last night and honestly, it's pretty good.

i'm not a major fan of theirs or anything, but "N" is a LOT better than till death unites us.

Alright, that's good news, i know that these guys can have potential, but i don't think they used it as much on till death unites us. If it's as good as you say it is then i won't bother to check it out, after all their first album was an impact for me, but i doubt it will be similar.

i wouldn't be able to compare it to their first album because i've never heard it. then again i've only heard "N" twice thus far, but i can say right off the bat that the lyrics aren't as simple-minded as their previous release. at least i haven't heard "fuck you. you're just a piece of shit" yet.

and all this about a standard Children of Boredom wannabe? CoB, Kalmah, norther, all more or less interchangable IMO, power metal trying not to sound like power metal that is what they play, and even a *bleep* version of it.
Relying on their pretty Finnish looks

And now I will run and hide. But unfortunately because of their music I will

Some of Norther's stuff is actually quite good dude. They're talented when they want to be. You're lucky I'm not a loyal Norther fan

@Warman - N is about as far away from Dreams Of Endless War as possible

I never expected it to be. It's probably great though, I mean it's still Norther.

New Norther album sucks horribly...even more than the previous thing. The only way they are like Children of Bodom is perhaps the way in which they totally just wanna be famous....I mean with titles like "We Rock" what the fuck can one expect? Needless to say the music is POOR....VERY poor, and theyre falling into the same trap so many of the "melodic death" bands of old have falled into. Fuck knows what genre of music they are nowadays, anyway this shit sure aint melodic death metal, hardly metal even. Its a bit like spiced up poprock with attitude.

Don't get me started about your crappy doom sludge bands or your emo black metal bands


I agree with you on CoB, Alexi is an arse and he can't scream or write lyrics - still the early albums are good music wise.
and to compare Kalmah with CoB.... Kalmah is real Melodic Death while Cob is extreme power metal, Norther do sound a lot like CoB and thank to the new craptastic album they sound more then ever like CoB while there old albums were still good and better then anything CoB did.

i don't think it does. it's just a lack of attention to detail. i mean, "die" as a song title? my dog could come up with a better one. it may involve some growling or barking, but at least it'd be more creative.

i still enjoy their music; it's great for driving, but i don't think they've tapped into their true potential yet. btw, i really like the new drummer's style.

Tell me, is this post a joke...? I am fukking sick of seeing my heroes having shit put on them, if you don't like Norther or thier music then fukk off and don't listen to it. Like all the stupid comments people posted after thier new video was on you tube, why even bother if all your gonna do is just write immature shit with no logical reasoning for it.

Hahaha, ok, lets not get excited. I thought people would assume I'm referring to the unbearably cheesey clean vocals in it, and was asking if they appear throughout the entire album. Lets not lose our shit here.

clean vocals aren't used as much in the rest of the CD. i've only heard it a few times, but i'm pretty sure you'll only find them in two other songs, but not nearly as much as frozen angel.

Ok yeah, thats good. I dont mind the sound of the songs until the really uncool singing comes in.

@harbinger - actually Kride sings in 4 songs on N, and they are Frozen Angel, To Hell, We Rock and If You Go.

@Dr.Rock - so then you shouldn't listen to any Norther cd after Death Unlimited, cause all the ones from Solution 7 onwards have Kride singing clean vocals on them.

lol, i was close. honestly...i can't say i've ever liked one album of their's. "N" isn't that great, but it has some decent songs on it. i probably won't listen to it past the next few weeks though. but frozen angel is one track i have to skip every time. i like clean vocals (sometimes) but he sounds terrible when he sings in lower octaves.
