I must conceed to that one though. I have to agree with it no matter how much better I think the C-Mass album sounds with Robert.

FYI: candlemass and I have an ongoing bickerfest that transcends time and cyperspace on who's the better singer, Messiah or Lowe.

I'm surprised it took you this long to respond. You must be getting old and tired just like Messiah's vocals. <--made myself laugh with that one.

You just won a major victory in this cosmic battle w/Robert joining C-Mass, but know this; he never would've got the job had Eddie wanted to stay, he has his issues w/leif.

BTW, "Nightfall" is the magnum opus of all epic doom metal lp's by wich all others shall be judged by, since Messiah is not on the new one, it can not be saved, for there is one name under doom by wich all doomsters must be saved!

can't argue with that at all.

I agree. And moreso, he's the trademark sound of doom.

no way man... that's Ozzy.

To me, Doom's "Trademark" is Trouble's 'The Skull'....that album absolutely defines Doom Metal for me.

for me it's Black Sabbaths self titled album.

For traditional doom, I concur, Ozzy as well for the voice, for epic doom, Messiah and "Nightfall"!

I thought that album was ultra boring except for about 2 songs.

Not boring, just not as good as the media made it out to be.

So how do you rate the new C-Mass compared to the new SA lp?

I actually think the new C-Mass destroys the new SA album.

i think the new SA is the better of the two.

I don't think you can compare either album. They're both very different doom albums.

You can compare anything in terms of quality, a well created lp is what it is regardless of the genre.

Comparing random things based on quality is pointless, though.

Not so, I was inquiring as to which lp was written better, ie, how do the songs hold up, do they have staying power, how is that pointless, what's your point?

By asking which album is better, you're asking someone to compare them. Comparing them is pointless because if someone says the new SA is a better album, what does that say? They're two very different albums! There's no point in comparing them.

You're just looking for support that Candlemass is the better of the two.

You don't get it, I'm spinning my wheels w/you!

Your e-brake is on.

A better question is "Which do you like better?"

I can't believe a CANDLEMASS thread has 71 posts.



On a side note, I have Memento Mori - Rhymes of Lunacy on my tradelist if anyone is looking for it. PM me.

I can't believe that's all it has!

Nuclear Blast just released a 7" picture disc with an early version of "Demonia 6" and a new version of "Black Dwarf" with Lowe on vocals. I just ordered mine.

I hope I can find a download of these songs, though, since I don't own a damn record player! Haha.
