in honor of the early winter attack.....Immortal - At the Heart of Winter appreciation[views:2378][posts:21]______________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:18pm - Yeti ""] I HEARD HEATH LEDGER DIED IN THIS MORNINGS SNOW. [img] |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:23pm - mikeofdecrepitude ""] I understand the appeal of this album but for me, it's not Immortal. Battles in the North can't be beat. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:25pm - Yeti ""] Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism can't be beat. but for where they went, this album defines it. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:26pm - goatcatalyst ""] Dig the fuck out of both the aforementioned albums, but I've been on a HUUUUGE Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism kick the last few months. Can't get enough of it. Before that, I fixated pretty hard on Pure Holocaust. Heh. I said hard on. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:28pm - Yeti ""] their best song is A Perfect Vision of the Rising Northland. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:30pm - Yeti ""] and if you haven't already heard it, on "Unholy Forces of Evil" it sounds like he says "WOWOWOWOW....ITS.....DELICIOUS" |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:31pm - arilliusbm ""] I understand the appeal of this band, but I still think they've been overrated all throughout their career. Shit, I said it. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:36pm - arilliusbm ""] that being said, that doesn't mean I thoroughly enjoy this album, along with the ones before it. I just don't think this band deserves the praise they get. One of the bands that had a sweet logo then changed it to appeal to Americans, among other reasons. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:36pm - mikeofdecrepitude ""] I certainly don't think AtHoW is a bad album, I just appreciate their earlier output more; which are better representations of the Immortal sound. The newer albums with their polished production and diminished aesthetics don't do anything for me. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:38pm - arilliusbm ""] Sorry to poop on your appreesh thread, Yetiony |
| ______________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:40pm - Yeti ""] i find your lack of faith disturbing, Admiral. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:43pm - arktouros ""] One of my favorite metal albums next to Anthems and Hammerheart. I'm with Yetiony |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:50pm - arilliusbm ""] i know most disagree with me on a lot of opinions, but oh well. to each their own! like I said, I enjoy immortal, just don't think they were ever one of the greatest bands ever. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 16,2009 3:52pm - quintessence ""] Good band and I've actually also been on a Diabolical Fullmoon kick lately as well. At least when ever I can stop listening to early bathory for 1 second. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 16,2009 4:03pm - arktouros ""] I did just listen to the new Immortal album in headphones, and actually paid attention to it this time, it has kick ass songs (minus the last one) that are more than just a collection of riffs...but AtHoW is to me the perfect mix of thrash attitude and grand atmosphere. |

I don't think i'd be able to do the same. heard the first song, skimmed through the rest and thought it sounded way too overproduced for immortal. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 16,2009 7:34pm - mdb ""] AtHoW has always stuck out as my fave all albums rule though |

| ________________________________________ [Oct 16,2009 10:20pm - thuringwethil ""] give a little whistle |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 16,2009 11:07pm - ArilliusBM ""] nothing worse than being too vocal about nonsense on a message board, then shamelessly getting trolled with Pinocchio nonsense. fucking trollfags. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 17,2009 8:17pm - BSV ""] actually i'm still listening to the All Shall Fall. never really devoted alot into the Tatgren albums (fucking Blizzard Beasts was my first intro to Immortal). The riffs on the new one are definately in the vein of Pure Holocaust/Battles in the North/Blizzard Beasts. |
