i really liked the music in that. pretty progressive. cool shit. wish they had a stronger singer. it wasnt bad really. just more along the lines of talking instead of singing

w/e there's my 2 cents. why argue about genre classification when we can just enjoy it for what it is right?

i feel like you may have posted that candlemass track before too but every thread needs some more candlemass. music video is hilarious tho, that part where he's just kinda pointing at those guys walking down the road shouting "YOU ARE BEWITCHED" was lolworthy. good track tho.
ya for sure, genre talk only helps tell a person what a band is in description and only really matter before you even hear the band. after that its just more about what you like. and like i said before, it wasnt bad. could grow on me. and ya, post-rock was another genre i was trying to think of but forgot what its called.


next song. something more classic. less metalish

but influenced metal a fuck load like candlemass did with black metal. even further back. late 60s. also the vid again is hilarious
