Altar of De Novissimis (1 Viewer)

[Corm]

Does anyone else notice how uncannily alike to De Nov the second half of Through The Collapse: Watchers Restrained sounds? Not even, "they both sound sort of like Burning Witch", but yer man (not sure if it's Condon or O'Ceallaigh?) actually sounds exactly like Ed! ...maybe someone's been taking notes?!

It's actually Nathan somethingorother from Graves at sea doling out the oozin' aahs there, but yeah he does sound similarly foul (in a good way) although I prefer Ed's vocals myself, much more effort put into the delivery I think, I also find the guitars a bit lacking in the requisite heft in that particular part, they could sound so much heavier. All the same, I'm still pretty much gay for AoP.

Ah, they're fuckin brilliant. White Tomb is mindblowng. I found a few parts a little weak at first (production-wise), but a couple listens on the earphones changed how I hear it.

You'll find no arguments here alright, I spent a large portion of last year listening to Through The Cracks of The Earth and Sol, for some reason I still haven't given White Tomb the time it deserves, it is a big pile of deadly though.

Jesus I thought rumours of the actual Altar that De Novissimis sacrifice virgins and first pressing Venom Lp's on before gigs had spread to the internet. !ninjaaaa

Yeh thought that as well about the vocals. Still find that the production could do with a bit more heft in parts but the quality of the songwriting more than makes up for it. Probably gonna be one of my favourite albums this year behind Static Tensions.

It's an amazing album. Great band, Hopefully they get a new drummer to fill in.

No disrespect to Edser but he has been known to have a bit of an oul gra for the Graves at Sea

That is true but if I could get down smooth vocals like Max out of Worship I'd be smoking, except Hooly would probably kill me.
