Death is This Communion is still my favourite HOF, pure heavy metal thunder. Luminiferous was very underrated too, probably their most 'tuneful' album, while still being super heavy.

Quote from: Bürggermeister on January 26, 2025, 06:34:33 AMThe super-wide panned toms make it unlistenable for me. I loved the first album, too.

I find the first two unlistenable due to Billy Anderson's production.

Whereas his Neurosis albums are astoundingly good.

Nah, they all sound piss weak too. May as well be hitting pillows than toms when he's behind the desk.

Is the intro to Dark Funeral - Unchain My Soul just the intro to Abba - Gimme, Gimme, Gimme with distortion  :abbath:

That is an unbelievable shout  :laugh:  :abbath:

Did he mix TSIB?

Edit, yeah I know, Google and all that, but I prefer the forum approach in general. It's like arguing down the pub; better without the Google instant conversation killer

Says production on the sleeve notes. There're a few other names down for engineering and mastering it. He mixed Enemy Of The Sun though.

Think Children Of Bodom have the same Abba theft on one of the earlier albums.

Anyone here ever buy any Amplified t-shirts? I spotted a Type O Negative one, but I'm not sure what size to go for. I usually wear large, but some of the large t-men's shirts these days seem to be designed for anorexic teen girls.

Think there should be a size guide on the site. I was pricing stuff off them before and the shipping was cuntish.

Sound. It's on the EMP site so I wasn't sure. I checked the Amplified site, they advise buying a size up as they tend to shrink!

I love that Lombardo's bass drums sound like bass drums and not clicky clicky typewriter keys.

Aye, and he pretty much got the the same sound out of his kit for the Fantômas stuff too.

There's a good few bands that get the typewriter sound right, but Sneap was a bit of a divil in the 2000s on his productions for making it the default.
