Bolzer - Lese Majesty

Never listened to them before, not really seeing what all the fuss is about. It's decent enough but didn't think it was anything that special

They're a bit twee, hugely overrated.

Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness

For about a year after this came out it rarely left the environs of the CD player and as a consequence it got overplayed and eventually shelved for a long period.
Back with it this past few days though and apart from appreciating it afresh there is an accompanying wave of nostalgia for those Temple Bar gigs at the time.  Serious buzz back then for the lads, seemed like there were people flocking from every corner of Europe and beyond to catch them performing their new stuff on home soil.
Talk about a yearning to get to Dublin for a gig again. If the proposed show with Mourning Beloveth  comes to pass it'll be a fucking pilgrimage.

Is twee really the term you're looking for here?

Maybe he's using it as an onomatopoeia for the whistling...?  :laugh:

he's used twee where fey might have been better, but you can scrap both of those and just sub in contrived.

I think people want Bolzer to be better than they are, we all need something fresh nowadays

Wow,  like,  so deep and perceptive. Yawn.

Just discovered these lads and they sound good. Googled them and holy fuck they're racist fuckers apparently.  Why does this shite ruin good music?

It doesn't ruin good music.  Good music is good music regardless of what you think of the people making it.  Kind of better off knowing as little as possible about those who make the music that you like,  is my current position.

True. Still love burzum despite vargs nonsense.

Were Satanic Warmaster the lads who had a song that was just sort of elevator music with the tannoy commands for the jews being hushed off into the gas chambers as an interlude on one of their albums or was that someone else?

No, that was a different Finnish band; Tannoy Rocks.

Big nostalgia buzz listening to my first Maiden album 'No Prayer'. So damn good, haven't listened to it properly in possibly 20 years. If they released it these days people would be shouting it from the rooftops. As it is, much like Somewhere in Time, extremely underrated.
