| Mike:
You got it! nice digipack, although the problem with these boxes is
that once they start collecting dust the paper usually goes down the
drain. It might take a few years, but the abuse is there.
The music is very nice. I don't know if you can catalog these bands
as "melodic" or "progressive" , but I think it borders on black metal
easily. I like it very much, though, it's a nice break for the regular
pounding my ears take on death metal.
Didn't you love the picture of "Jardar" on the pack, though? All
you can see is candles!!
Mike: if you haven't heard Dissection's "the storm of the light's
bane", try to get it. What you get in the "DIJTB" compilation is just a
taste of the real thing. Similar to Old Mans Child, but awesome!

re: -1
Glad you like it. Now if I can get my girlfriend to give it back to me
(tomorrow night when she comes over) I will move it into the changer in
the car and get a chance to listen to the whole thing. Yeah, I thought
it was funny with just candles there (drummer I think he is).
Definitely like the cover work too!
You need a dose of Opeth! I need to get Skepticism and Winter soon!

| 1228.5 | it's actually not too bad! | SUBSYS::MSOUCY | MentalmETALMike | Thu May 15 1997 05:37 | 22 |

Well, I had a chance to listen to it through on the way in this morning
and it's not too bad. Vocals are a tad rough (not gutteral/growl stuff)
and it has some cool moments, especially when they use an acoustic
guitar on one tune, some keyboards used sparsely. Overall not bad, but
I would definitely up the bass in the mix as I don't think it is as
prevalent(sp) as it should be in the recording. I think they may have
one other release.
Carlos, check out:
www.borg.com/~lordxul/ds1.htm(l) for Dark Symphonies mail-order. They
have a bunch of stuff we can't get through normal channels, and a lot
of stuff you would probably love, and there are some reviews on most
all the discs there so you can get a feeling for what the music will be
like. CDNow is starting to do this too with some links I think to
Mega's (miika(sp)) page of bands which I posted somewhere in I think
99.* for a link to a bunch of pages for bands from a-z.
I think I am ordering Skepticism and maybe one more today.
