Candlemass has to rate for depth, raw power and magisty.

Cathedral is on my list for it's artistic scope, I feel that it's really serious about making a supreme effort, even if they have a particularly silly side as well.

Manilla Road does the rough and ready rock and roll thing the best, better than pentagram, more direct even than Saint Vitus I think.

Cirith Ungal because their music fills me with a thrilling sense of dread.

That's my list of four, and Cathedral is the dispensable selection, because if the question was this "If you could have all entire output of four given doom bands given to you on vinyl, what would those bands be?" I might choose Pagan Altar instead, I don't know.

Nice! I wouldn't have picked this as your flavor of doom, what do you think of it?

I seem only to like their earlier albums. I haven't listened to all their albums, but the later ones seem to have some cheesy sounding clean vocal parts that I don't like. You're right that I tend to go for a more epic thing, but growled funerary doom can be nice for napping.

Hi all, 

All interviews were carried out with global participants from all over the world via Skype. It was not limited to students and I did not interview anyone who was at my level of education. I was not studying myself in that sense. 

Also thank you for correcting my grammar. It was a typo as I'm well aware of the use of apostrophes. It's usually me who's correcting grammar so this was a refreshing moment! 

Thanks for your well wishes. I'm not used to these forums but I've been told people tend to speak their mind like they're the experts (who have been researching social research methodology and existing literature for some years...) and I can now vouch for that. 

 

 

Thanks, don't forget to please send a link to your project when it's completed.

For starters you and I share something in common, and I do not share well, so please make sure we never meet in person. Secondly, you need to watch you step mister, your request is unreasonable. If your shooting a porn flick or something like that, I just hope you have a real coherent understanding of concent because you will find it gets pretty real pretty fast.

Disregard the above comments, I'm just sore because I exceed you age limit buy 2 and 1/2 times. It sucks to get old, you will understand in time.

I think what is missing, and I get it that your not funded, is the element of payola. When anthropologists go looking to study the ways of a culture they often bring stuff like hard candy and machetes. Maybe if you were offering patches and black floss you'd get a better reaction.

Really though, I think the problem is that you are studying yourself. When digesting the reaction to your request check out the post counts on those responding. There is a steady stream of students coming through here looking to do school projects, and they have never, as far as I know, contributed an iota to the forum. Please do deliver your dissertation when it is finished, that would really set you apart.

The Yardbirds.

There never was a more groovy band.

what I wan’t to do is legal in my state. Really I want to tone down the psychoactivity Of the mix and make it possible to smoke longer without getting too high. I read a thing that encourages me to make my own mix, which seems great as I can avoid the preservatives. They did not mention, however, the issue of resin clogging up the works, but I can see that being a real problem. Thanks for your consideration Parker.

Say hypothetically someone had some cannabis bud, maybe it’s CBD hemp, or quite possible it’s marijuana, what do you suppose would be a good way to smoke it from a hookah? Would you lay it on some shisha or mix it in?

It looks to me, and you should know I’m a low grade metal head who relies on impeccable taste as I lack a lot of knowledge about metal, it looks as though your going for a trivial pursuit look and feel. Is that correct? If so might I suggest that is a mistake. You would do better to go the metal jeopardy route.

 If you go trivially here is a card suggestion. 

Q: Which is the greatest band ever?

A: Candlemass!

If you take the Jeopardizing route, and I hope you consider it, than here are some categories that you could explore.

Hair today gone tomorrow.

Mosh pit masters

Brick wallers line up

Leather lyricisms 

Just can’t get enough

Cvlt or crime

Pose me thusly 

I hope you find this helpful. If you go the Jeopardized way, and I can’t stress enough that... well, I hope you have received my memo regarding this. Anyway I’ll help with answers and their answers if you go this way. It’s fine if you trivialize it, but I won’t be involved.

Way to go FA and Thrashman. I very much appreciate your work. I’m a long time big fan of yours Alabaster, as you well know. As for the stuff you have posted Thrashman, it really appeals to my enjoyment of textures. This is one of my favorite threads.

Nice paintings Thrashman, I like them a lot.

I love Moxie, but had my first diet Moxie today, and had never seen it before.

Upside, you can now get diet Moxie!

Both side cut and top cut are available in most stores around here. Um, why do you ask? Am I not getting something?

I’m not sure the top cut bun is widly available. I don’t think they have it way down south.

That's cool. Sorry to tell you, but I'm a born and raised New Englander and I've never heard the term "steamed hams." But one oddity of language here is that we tend to use the word "wicked" to mean "very." This is not done (as far as I have heard) in the rest of the U.S. However, I've heard "wicked" is used this way in England, don't know about Australia.

Edit: Ooops, I didn't see the posts above that already addressed the "Steamed Hams" issue. 

I love watching taffy be stretched, and it smells so good too.

Hey Parker, you got any of them top cut buns down your way?

What’s with the double posting all the time? It’s embarrassing.

Well, it wasn’t but it certainly is now. I’d forgotten about Lovecraft. 

It was actually more that I really like New England from what I’ve seen of it on those real estate shows where families want to move to the coast and they look at a few different places. They always seem to be in New England. I also really like the historical aspect of the region. 

Plus I think they call hamburgers ‘steamed hams’. 

I’ve never heard hamburgers called “steamed hams” but you will hear ground beef called hamberg here in Maine, and it is a quaint Mainerism to say unthaw instead of thaw out, so a real Mainer might unthaw some hamberg for dinner. For a true old school Mainer dinner is the midday meal and one eats supper in the evening.

Cool, Parker, nifty to drive a model T. I think Alabaster would dig the Farnsworth, I think his art is not unlike the Wyath family art, minus the body horror aspect of FA’s style. The Farnsworth is heavily weighted towards that Family. Anyone would enjoy it though. I haven’t been to the Owls Head Transportation Museum in over week 20 years.

I don’t know why the forum wanted to publish The above again, and I don’t know why I allowed it.

anyway here is Gorbo’s top five regrettable things about FA’s vacation, with apologies for criticisms about a family vacation which I hope the Alabasters enjoyed immensely...

1) They were, as per usual, surrounded by Massholes.

2) They couldn’t go to the Farnsworth museum, that’s in Rockport ME.

3) they couldn’t reenact scenes from the movie “In the Bedroom” on location.

4) The couldn’t go to Cafe Zoot for coffee drinks, Zoot is in nearby Camden ME and is a fully exceptional world class coffee shop.

5) They didn’t get to hang out with Gorbo, who works in Rockport Me area.

Cruzan rum and zevia root beer. It’s not especially delicious. And it’s not especially Keto neither.

Hey.

I would not, per say, say that I was drunk, but, givens the drink I done drank, as it were, well tipsy I am to be sure. 

That fact not withstanding, I would like to say, from the rum as it were, with the zevia root beer mixer, it was  fun to hang out with friends tonight. I could have drunk a bunch more and still produced coherent posts for the post if you are drunk post lists.

I guess that is about the thing for. Me. I drank a bit, could have drunk aa whole lot more, but as they might say , you drink as might and might get drunk as you do, but for the amount that you manage to drink. Anyway, I’ll sto,short of apology for not being more drunk, I’m drunk enough to post here, and that is that.

It is incredibly hit and miss I find.  I don't mind the varied tastes of the presenters (I just skip the metalcore, deathcore, nu metal reviews) per sé but one or two of them do grate on me.  I think it lacks professionalism when they try and do one of the "lock horns" things as even Sam Dunn lacks authenticity when trying to front a serious metal debate.  I enjoy it enough but it doesn't bring anything new to the table for me in terms of discoveries or revisits of old albums.

Yeah, I can dig that, except I really like the lock horns bits and they help me check out genres to a large degree. I liked their thrash lock horns and their nwobhm one and got my field broadened by them a bit. It seems Sam Dunn sets the tone for a lot of the channel even when not on screen, so if you don’t take the dude seriously you’re not apt to appreciate BangerTV in general.

I’ve been listening to this album repeatedly in the company truck, having recently downloaded it on the Spotify. I really love, and fully agree with what someone was saying about the bass. I remember the vocals from back in the day, having hear it in the school parking lot or some such I guess. They are weird and not actually ideal, but not ultimately  an obstacle to my enjoyment of the band. I also remember the album cover being used on an issue of Dragon magazine or perhaps a D&D module I saw in game stores in the 80’s.  Who ever made the paintings got double use from them from Cirith Ungol and TSR.
