I guess that means they play opera.

Not everyone who has posted has done so. However from tomorrow I will be dropping in a link to any of these albums I have reviewed, so that anyone can read further about them if they want to.

I don't know what anybody else posted, but you brought up a totally obscure band without even mentioning what kind of music they play. **** doesn't fly, man. You need to fix it.

And Doomsword aren't obscure. Your very words when I posted about them in Metal Month were along the lines of "Awww yeah! Doomsword!" So you know who they are, and are therefore just ****ing with my head. Nonetheless, I have posted a link to the review, as I will do tomorrow with all the other albums I posted which I have reviewed.

No, they're totally obscure. If I hadn't been obsessed with finding bands that sounded like Hammerheart-era Bathory I'd never have heard of them.

I bow to your superior knowledge of metal.

42. Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape - (2001)



When I think back over the popular albums in metal circles, I cannot think of another album that can bring so many niches together. Nobody can deny that this is a one-of-a-kind creation that you can break down mathematically but never fully recreate. Even describing it is hard because it can be summed up as "a whole bunch of genres smashed together" but that neither does it justice or make it sound all that compelling. It really is an album that can only be described in metaphor, in which case here's my take on it, it's basically a sweaty drug induced disco from hell.
