Of Stars and Smoke is an incredible song. My favorite off the entire album. Can't wait to catch them in March. I am planning on stomping if they play Bewitched.

[quote][b]thorhammer (11/29/2007)[/b][hr]How charming that my first real post here should be disagreeing. Sorry about that, but I've gotta say I love this album. It's not in my top 10, but top 20, yes. I think "Devil Seed" is a brilliant song, and I've woken up a few days in a row now with "Demonia 6" in my head. I'm not qualified to comment on influences or riffs or anything like that - I just like what I like. But I think it's a great album, and inspired me to expand into the rest of their catalogue. I have yet to listen to my newest acquisition, "Nightfall". Penury severely limits my music exploration, sadly. That, and my obsession with tarot. Cards, that is, not the band . . . although . . . :rolleyes:

Thor!

Well, after my first post I really started to listen to TKOTGI and it has grown on me quite a bit. I actually think it is a very strong release.

Nightfall is a great album. As is Ancient Dreams and the self-titled album. I also really dig Chapter VI even though it is one of their less doom albums.

[quote][b]aussieheadbanger (11/2/2007)[/b][hr]I brought the new release "King of Grey Island" by Candlemass mainly as i was interested in the singer............but as hard as i tried i just couldnt get into it & there were no songs on the cd worthy of a mention. It just didnt seem to get going.[/quote]

Ditto. I listened to it at the used CD store in town. It was boring and listless.

Well, that's one of doom metal's crowning achievements

It's really good, but in my opinion its really hard to beat [i]Epicus Doomicus Metallicus[/i]

Solitude Aeturnus [sic] is pretty good so I was really curious. Messiah is the man though.

Haven't heard the whole thing yet. But from the couple of songs I did hear, I am very interested. Rob Lowe seems to do a great job with filling in for Messiah

Just curious. The S/T release is probably my favorite doom release ever.
