The Road Revisited - Penance

Lost Paradise - Paradise Lost

I got majorly down when I looked up this Paradise Lost band.
1. This album has a ****ing 3 on rym (blasphemy).
2. The rest of their material sounds nothing like this.
3. The rest of their material is from my most disliked genre of "metal"
4. The band pretends this album did not happen.
5. **** me.
6. I imported the album in silence.

I think the three stars are warranted, as it's really only a moderately good death/doom album that just isn't in the same league as diSEMBOWELMENT or Thorr's Hammer. But their goth metal stuff is definitely snoozeville.

I picked this up off of a recommendation from a friend. It's a mix of black and death metal, with death metal growls, black metal shrieks, clean vocals... and all the tracks are about slugs. When I first saw the song titles (Lettuce Prey, Gastronomicon, The Sound of Mucus, Salters of Madness, etc...) I wanted to dismiss it as a novelty. But, after listening to it, its a really solid metal album. There are a lot of killer grooves between the guitar and the drums, and the song structures are really well composed. I like the atmosphere too, which is dark but not in a depressing way. These guys are making some really cool metal and they sound like they're having a blast doing it. I have not heard a ton of newer metal albums the last few years, but I'd say this is the one I've enjoyed the most.

If you are interested in downloading it, the album is available for free on their bandcamp.
