From the most doomed and unfortunate soul ever to walk the earth, the man with the black cloud forever over his head: Ryan Henry. Where the fuck has he been anyway?

That's a very good question. I've messaged him a few times over the last 2-3 months and have yet to get a reply. The same with dickie. Then again, he's probably too cool to deal with us these days.

He's got me beat hands down. I'd suggest saying hi to him but he doesn't seem to respond these days.

No, he's posting stuff all the time.

Been listening to a lot of Unholy lately, their first two albums are great.

Been listening to a lot of Unholy lately' date=' their first two albums are great.[/quote'] Yes they were. I remember I was betting on their first demo years ago and lost the fucking thing for about $5. It was only $20 or so and I've only seen that tape once. Good band, very avantegarge but great "unholy" doom/death.

[BlutAusNerd]

Re: Doom/Death Unholy has always felt more like black/doom to me, not much death metal in their sound. They're fucking excellent though, even their more atmospheric later work is still great. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

They were always obscure but they managed to get weirder in their old age. Too bad they're not planning on putting anything out ever again.

Anyone listened to the latest album from Officium Triste? I think it's really awesome. Especially the song 'Like Atlas'. And another question: can anyone recommend me similar artists like Officium Triste?

[MacabreEternal]

Currently enjoying Hooded Menace "Never Cross The Dead" and Serpentine Path S/T. I doubt Hooded Menace will ever better the crude looming melodies of "Never Cross The Dead" but that's fine by me as I can listen to this album all day. "Effigies Of Evil" is alright but I still prefer "Never.." Serpentine Path have done a great job on their debut for Relapse and it is one hell of a crushing and bruising slab of death/doom as your ever liable to pick up anywhere really. Mind you given they are in effect a super group it was sort of always going to be decent anyway.

[BlutAusNerd]

I only have Fulfill the Curse from Hooded Menace, but I definitely enjoy it. I've been meaning to pick up their other albums for a while, but as always, you can only acquire so much so fast. I haven't heard Serpentine Path, but Tim Bagshaw's presence has me interested. Is it anything like the pre-Electric Wizard stuff, is it more like Ramesses, or something else entirely? The dude definitely knows how to lay down some crushing riffs, so hearing them in a doom/death context is appealing to me.

Bagshaw's input is recognisable but things are just more straightforward. Flam's influence is clear too (are you familiar with Winter?). I think album number 2 will be interesting from Serpentine Path - I wonder how they are going to grow and develop the grim, bludgeoning nightmare of a sound they have laid down on the debut?

I haven't gotten their latest yet, but their best albums are Ne Vivam & Giving Yourself Away. The rest of their stuff is pretty hit and miss. Although, their split with Ophis had some great songs.

Straightforward and crushing doom/death is great though, I'll give them a listen.

The new My Silent Wake album is now available. Here is a trailer:

Hope you enjoy this.

I'm disappointed fellow doomed souls we have allowed this thread to escape it's perpetual torment . Actually Draconian's A Rose For The Apocalypse is quite good. It's a nice piece of atmospheric doom/death.

[NTNR]

It's gothic/doom at best. I doubt they're going to be doom/death again. In fact I think that's why dude made Doom:VS. It's where all doom went after Turning Season Within. I almost stopped listening to them when that album came out. A Rose for the Apocalypse was a slight return but we'll never hear Arcane Rain Fell or The Burning Halo again. I am curious as to how their new singer will sing. Lisa was profoundly brilliant and for me to continue listening her replacement had better be pretty mind fuckingly good.

I was listening to 'A Garland of Tears' today. It's my fave MSW album so far.

They've always had gothic elements, but Arcane Rain Fell was predominantly doom/death, and coincidentally is their best album. I was bummed when they lost that, as they're still good without the doom/death in their sound, but nowhere near as good. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Ok so I misjudged them, oh well, I still like A Rose For The Apocalypse but I haven't really delved into their older material. Perhaps I should make that a priority. Hooded Menace's Never Cross The Dead is another quality Doom/Death album. It reminds me a bit of you guys actually in that they don't go for atmosphere it's just crushing heaviness in spades.
