Well done Jeffy!

Place of Skulls - Nailed

Question: I love their music (and I own With Vision)...but I've been a little nervous about how overtly religious the other albums are. I don't have a problem with spiritual lyrics as long as they aren't the "beat you over the head with it" variety.

Thanks.

Well, here are the lyrics to Prisoner's Creed from The Black is Never Far:

There's a man in need
His past has found itself
There's a man who sees
What it's like for no one else

Brother from the gutter
The wheels came off your ride
Grace don't see no losers
Compassion I feel for your strife

Though I don't share your cage
Nor the grief of your life
I offer you this prayer
The peace that you will find inside

Picked up these from Open Grave Shop

Triton Enigma - Black Lies (Metallic Kitty has some sick vocals . . . and she's hot )
Faith - Salvation Lies Within

Okay, that's cool, thanks for the example.

I wouldn't think anything on NAILED would be stomach turning. Not Victor's style

Hopefully my question didn't offend anyone...I've had some REALLY bad experiences with religion in my life (mostly from childhood) and anything that gets overly preachy in a specific sense really bothers me.

I don't have a problem with spiritual lyrics (King's X is one of my favorite bands), as long as their not too specifically "organized religion" in nature.

Hope that makes some sort of sense.

S.U.P.-Hegemony the most original french band with their 6th album. Still a very clever and well done mix between Melodic Death Metal (in the 90's style, not the watered down Metalcore shit you can hear nowadays), Doom and 80's Cold Wave. Think Joy Division meets mid-period Anathema. And as usual, it's a concept album about a very intelligent SF story.

The Bottle Doom Lazy Band/The Dead Is Tired When The Morning Comes split CD. Monstruously gargantuan french DOOM METAL. We may not have a lot of bands, but there are all excellent. Mix between Reverend Bizarre and Electric Wizard for the lazy boys and between The Funeral Orchestra and Saint Vitus for the Dead ones. You MUST check those 2 bands, they're maybe the best discovery in the genre you can find in 2008.

Totally understandable. From what I've seen and listened to, none of Victor's stuff is that way.

Now, that guy from Troglodyte Dawn is all

Night In Gales - Towards The Twighlight
Divine Souls - Embodiment
Cadaveria - Far Away From Conformity
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
Darkthrone - A Blaze In The Northern Sky
Red Harvest - Sick Transit Gloria Mundi
Fear My Thoughts - Isolation
Myrkskog - Superior Massacre
Enforsaken - The Forever Endeavor

Pre-ordered the following from Divine Metal Distro

My Silent Wake - Garland of Tears
Deliverance - S/T (re-released)
Deliverance - Weapons of Our Warfare (re-released)
Faith Factor - Against a Darkened Sky

Revelations Vol. 1: A Light in a Dark Place

Compilation from Sullen Records with bands like Frost Like Ashes, Elgibbor, Northern Ash, Blood Drift, Deborah, Azmaveth, Synnove & Winter's Dawn. Some good black metal.

Totally makes sense, and not offensive at all. I think most people don't really want to be excessively "preached at," or feel like a message is being shoved down their throat. I think PoS lyrics are written from a very personal perspective, more like sharing experiences (both good and bad) rather than lecturing in any way. BTW, if you like Nailed and With Vision, I'd highly recommend picking up The Black is Never Far. Ridiculously good, doomy goodness with tons of soul and painfully honest lyrics. My favorite album by them.

I'm digging Nailed, some of the lyrics are a little too much for my liking...but not bad enough to turn me off. The music is insanely good.

Got sort of a "mini-haul" in the used section today:

KYUSS - Blues for the Red Sun (after hearing great things about these guys for years now, I figured it was time to take the plunge and give 'em a chance... not disappointed at all!!!!)
SOUNDGARDEN - Louder Than Love
AC/DC - Live

HEY... a Trogpost... coolness!


My most recent acquisition:

THE OBSESSED - Lunar Womb Friggin' awesome doom goodness!!!

Jeff, dood, don't expect to be taking those PoS discs out of your player for a looooooong time! Both are highly addictive (as is Nailed); The Black... took a bit longer to sink in for me, but now is my favorite album of theirs, and one of my favorites of all time.

I've really started getting into PoS. Some really good stuff.

All you need is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Jason Becker - The Jason Becker Collection
Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen

This weekend I picked up:

OCEAN - Pantheon of the Lesser (Brand spankin' new album of the bleakest doom sounds you'll ever hear... this will crush you!)
PELICAN - City of Echoes
VINCE GUARALDI TRIO - A Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack
