Members metalizer Posted October 3, 2007 Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 I think the sound fits the music, but i think the sound would suck to any other band, i also think this is a very cool guitar lesson, they got some sophisticated stuff going on (considering the style and the fact that they were very young when they wrote those tunes).Emperor are the kings of this style, and in my opinion there are only three other bands in this leauge in this particular style (melodic, symphonic black metal that are close to Emperor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chakosh Posted October 3, 2007 Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 I'd take Demon Burger off of that list and add Naglfar instead. I love "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk"... one of the 10 best albums ever written, IMHO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have u heard their stuff?? They rule!! And i think over-rated is a tag far best left to the cradle's or even Dimmu's out there......

Members JimAnsell Posted October 4, 2007 Members Share Posted October 4, 2007 what ever you say. people hate dimmu because they are very popular, and thats not allowed in black metal. you're also not allowed to make any good carrer moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members enditol Posted October 4, 2007 Members Share Posted October 4, 2007 That was a cool lesson, nice how the rhythm parts intertwine and play counterpoint to eachother. the classical / progressive influences make it stand apart from most.

Members Astynax Posted October 4, 2007 Members Share Posted October 4, 2007 I agree with whomever above stated that Anthems... hasn't aged all that well - I wheeled it out the other day and it didn't really grab me as much as it used to. Some seriously grating moments of over-pomp on there and the drumming is too one-dimensional (BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!). Nightside is awesome, IX Equilibrium is seriously patchy and the other one doesn't count in my book. Great band but the relentless hero-worship gets a little tiring. Saw them on their 'comeback' show in London last year and whilst it was a professional, well-executed performance, I've experienced more atmosphere in my local branch of Tesco. In it for the money there for sure. I really hope they don't release any new stuff - I was actually quite pleased when they quit, I think it took real balls to bow out before they tarnished their legacy. Ihsahn and Samoth clearly weren't into it any more and were heading off into vastly different (and inferior) directions and it was an honest move that demonstrated considerable integrity to call it a day. Oh well, who could resist the lure of the cash? Immortal too were reportedly paid 100,000 Euros ro headline Wacken this year. Who said you couldn't make money playing black metal?
