Aaron has said numerous times that these guys are getting great reactions from metalhead crowds. I dig them for some classic metal riffs with sweet mosh that no one likes but everyone who gets made fun of on rttp.

however, I got my hands on their soon to be released CD. They've gone the route of taking some black metal influence. Parts sound like old Opeth and Emperor. Surrounded with Mosh. It's just interesting to me from how many different angles they seem to be going after the "true metalhead" fanbase with each album.

there is a track up on their myspace.

it doesn't really do the whole "black metal" comparison I just made justice...but I'm just babbling

Dead To Fall

pretty good, good production, they still have the same sound overall, maybe a little too much vocals?

I already have a copy of this.. well two copies.
haven't listened yet.



toggletoggle post by brian_dc  at Mar 20,2006 10:39pm
too much vocals...Jake and Pires have made it impossible for me to really know what that means.

the two songs on myspace were touch and go with me at first
i dug them, but they werent what i had come to love in Dead To Fall. I like em more and more as i listen to thm But, how long could they keep shit simple ya know. They have the right dudes in the band to go the more techy proggy route, so why not.

dead to fall has some nice artwork.

mixing metalcore and black metal is the worst idea i've ever heard.



toggletoggle post by brian_dc  at Mar 21,2006 5:57pm
I think I'm misleading. It's more like Opeth with core. which we should all be expecting a lot of because of Opeth's new found popularity.

Opeth-core is something i've been dreading for the last couple years. fuck dead to fall.

there's no such thing as opeth core...you'd have to be as good as opeth to use their name in a description of yourself

and we all know no one is better than opeth

wow? definately not the dtf im used to hearing. i like it a lot.



toggletoggle post by brian_dc  at Mar 21,2006 6:50pm
I just said Opethcore because Rev coined the term.

i really cant fathom why people actually listen to this...music?

the production is trash
the riffing is just gay.
the song writing....random prog riffs that dont fit...

go ahead guys, make this dudes rich. buy their merch, mosh at their shows, suck their cocks.

ALL IN THE NAME OF BRUTAL MUSIC!!!!!

this album SUCKS. i enjoyed some of the last one but this is...so bad.

I've only listened to one track and then I put back in the old gates of hell

oooh kid the random pictures on the top of my rttp screen are akela, raising kubrick, and the network...i heart those bands!

im beginning to hate returntothepit. not because of the the incredible benefit it has had for the scene (thank you aaron) but noone on this board likes ANYTHING! even if you do like it, if someone else says they like it, now its gay. help me out here. i dont get this logic.



toggletoggle post by CraigForACurse  at Mar 23,2006 3:18pm
i probably shouldve followed your lead here cavvy and just said nothing. meh.



toggletoggle post by Cav at Mar 23,2006 3:19pm
mhm thats the best way to go



toggletoggle post by CraigForACurse  at Mar 23,2006 3:23pm
honestly, ive heard the first two albums and i think this is the best ive heard from them so far. its not a cheesy at the gates ripoff and the vocals are way better. did they get a new vocalist or did he just grow his hair out?



toggletoggle post by Cav at Mar 23,2006 3:24pm
i think he grew his hair out...hes pretty much the only one left in the band from the original lineup.



toggletoggle post by wade nli at Mar 23,2006 7:45pm
THERE IS NOTHING BLACK METAL ABOUT DEAD TO FALL.

period.

the vocals on this record especially suck.




toggletoggle post by wade nli at Mar 23,2006 7:45pm
and I like a TON of bands. Dead To Fall isn't one of them. big deal.

dude. totally. but i hate everything. i'm a pit of hate inside. there's my logic Mr. NoSpaceBetweenMyWords, that's why I don't like ANYTHING!

trust me...I wasn't trying to say that they were black metal. Judging by chord progressions alone, I can say that they were trying to get a slightly black metal vibe going. Using nothing but big minor chords is kind of black metal. It's influence...not proclaiming them a black metal band.

I like the fact that this album isn't 90% breakdowns as opposed to the previous one.


I hate the vocals too though...definitely way too dry. At the end of the day, I don't feel like defending this band. I thought it was a good listen. Meh.
