Candlemass


...

Recommended Posts

Realan go k' od albuma ali vrši posao, ionako se ovde igralo na to da 'reunion' karta izvuče stvari.

Glavna razlika u odnosu na sve ovovekovne albume je što nema izlaska u heavy/Rainbow vode i skoro je sve svedeno na plodding midtempo doom, i ko ne prati bend poslednjih par albuma kako treba može da ovo nazove "return to form" albumom kako se marketira, ali realno, nije se taj form nikad ni izgubio, samo je mešan sa drugim stvarima, što je po meni sasvim bilo OK jer smo dobijali najbolje od starog i od novog sveta.

Johanova izvedba na EDMu jedan od najboljih album performansa ikada stavljenih na bilo kakav oblik trake, a verujem da nisam jedini te da je njegov povratak više pomogao da se digne hajp nanovo oko benda nego da je bilo tu Mats pa čak i Messiah da se vratio u bend. I izem li ga, da su istaknutije pesme pa bi mi možda i utisak oko njega bio bolji, ali realno sa ovim materijalom on radi koliko mu je dato i nema mi, za sad, niti jedne pesme da je on nešto izvlači van onoga što mu je zadato da otpeva. Štaviše, rekao bih da mu ova masna ovovekovna Cmass produkcija uopšte ne ide u prilog u ovim godinama, jer pola albuma ga jedva čujem od riffova šta peva. Najbolje zvuči kada su neki baladasti delovi ili jednostavno kad nema riffova :haha:

Možda da ga ipak stavim na pauzu malo, sačekam disk, pa mi i lepše legne, ali za sada je solidan been-there-done-that Candlemass, tek nešto bolje od prethodna dva EPa.

Ja sam i pre nego sto sam cuo album imao negativan stav jer je prvo lepo receno da je Psalms kraj, a onda vrate Johana i izbace ovakav omot za album o kom ne bih trosio reci preterano. A sto rece gospodin gore Johanov performans na samom albumu mi uopste nije nesto wow bombetina, jednostavno radi posao koji mu je dat a on sam nije nista spec. Pomenuti Sorcerer, pa i npr Procession, je anno bastardi 2019 par liga ispred ovoga. Ako je Leif vec imao neki kreativni poriv mogao je ove rifove mirne duse da proturi kroz neki svoj projekat, doduse aj kapiram nostalgija pare itd ali meni bas ostavise gorak ukus u  ustima u poznom delu karijere, jbg.

Doduse nije tako lose, mogli su da dodju na ideju da rerecorduju EDM.

Doduse tanka inspiracija a Johan u bendu, hm hm.... :ph34r: mozda im citam misli za buducnost.

Dao sam sanse opet novom i ne vredi, zvuci mi i dalje rudimentarno i suvo ali ne na dobar nacin, kao da je ovo neki Candlemass tribute bend.

S druge strane zelim da hejlujem poslednji Avatarium, jedno pet puta zanimljivije cedo od ovog cash graba. Rasirili su se malo na 70s zvuk ali ne zvuce kao neki retro bend vec kao bend inspirisan tim zvukom koji svira sat, ako me razumete. Zenska ubija.

Super album, mnogo bolje od Cmasa ovogodišnjeg, da ne kažem raznovrsniji. Ali mi tipa prošli i dalje najbolji njihov.

Koliko kontam Leif sad i ima minimalno veze sa ovime, ali mogu se zakunuti da su "Porcelain Skull" i "Epitaph of Heroes" njegove, to je taj naughties Cmass riff-generator :haha:

Grammy-nominated classic doom icons CANDLEMASS don't even need to drop a full-length for every release to prove they belong at the top of an entire genre and beyond. Fully comprised of never-before-heard, unused tracks cut from the The Door To Doom recording sessions, the band has just announced the release of a masterful new EP, The Pendulum, due out March 27, 2020 via Napalm Records!

The Pendulum perfectly showcases that these timeless Swedish pioneers are the undisputed kings of epic doom. The fully-mastered opener/title track “The Pendulum” charges in with a melodic, head-swinging, thrashy rush - setting the stage for the raw, unfiltered steamrolling demo cuts to follow.

Says band mastermind Leif Edling: "THE PENDULUM" is about hard riffing, epic choruses and total delusion the fanatical way. It is in fact the last thing I wrote for "THE DOOR TO DOOM" album but didn't have the time to finish it. Here it is in its grand/mad luster with a great mix by Niklas Flyckt, and produced by Marcus Jidell. It is followed by 5 unreleased demos from the DTD sessions because the whole sha-bang was at first supposed to be a double effort but got trimmed down to a single album eventually.

I love the PENDULUM track, album quality if you ask me, and songs like "THE PORCELAIN SKULL" and "SNAKES OF GOLIATH" are not bad either.
They just didn't make it to the final thing. So I hope you like this EP that features the "missing" songs. The last pieces of the puzzle of the 1 year recording that became the album "DOOR TO DOOM". Enjoy:-) "

The Pendulum Tracklisting:
1. The Pendulum
2. Snakes Of Goliath
3. Sub Zero
4. Aftershock
5. Porcelain Skull
6. The Cold Room

I ono, tačno se čuje koliko je Avatarium trenutno "zdraviji" bend

Kontam da je ova Cmassova kao samo demo verzija, ali opet, ceo ovaj EP je tako jedan veliki rehash Cmassa iz poslednjih 20 godina da baš smara, i opet, Johan tako ispušeno zvuči.
