Stormkeep - Tales of Othertime

[keeper of kalessin]

Had a full first listen last night and really liked it. More than once it reminded me of wintersun though

[Eoin McLove]

I think it sounds great. I'm detecting influence from Arcturus, Borknagar and Vintersorg all over it which rather hits the spot for me these days.

LPs up on Vàn today.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yes! Nice one man, order put in directly. They have Dark Romanticism LPs going cheap too, so threw one of those on the order with it.

[Slaughterday]

Fuckin gone already  bastards.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

It's already arrived and all! Tis a far cry from delivery times a year back!

[boozegeune]

Chrust, fair play to them. I skimped for the option that was 3e cheaper so still waiting.

20 Buck Spin say they will have some in stock before the month is out they've said. Shipping from US but the prices are usually OK, just take a looooooong time.

[Don Gately]

This is great

Might be worth checking Sentinel's website too, think I saw Scobes posting he'd got some in.

[Slaughterday]

Grabbed one off Sentinel indeed. Couldn't bring myself to buy the CD version with that artwork.

[ResidentOfBok]

I know I'm definitely in the minority but I just can't get into this one.

Ultimately finding too many interludes, samples etc breaking things up a bit and it's just a bit flabby. I miss the bite of the riffing from the previous EP.

[CorkonianHunger]

I don't mind it. I can see they're trying to do a split down the middle dungeon synth and black metal thing. It's done well all the same.

Vocalist is the Blood Incantation/Wayfarer drummer I believe.
