Teitanblood

I hadn't had the opportunity to listen to it, but I'd take it if I had. But among the mass of all records released these days, even if avoiding the previsible crap, one has to make a choice a priori. I have nor have the time nor the money nor the friends near enough to listen to lots of records these days, so choices have to be made. Not to add my natural tendency to listen again and again to albums I like a lot. Not to add that having at home a few thousand records, originals and dubs alike, make that you listen firstly to what you have on hand...

Do I have to continue?

By the way, what's the point of reviews in zines then?

You probably could have listened to a Teitanblood song or two in the time it took you to read and post in this thread.

That's what I just did. I had a IANVA CD playing while reading this thread and posting...

Hum, some tracks are good, some your usual chaotic Death-Metal. The lyrics aren't badly written but the themes begin to be boring even if there's a bit of personnality at least.

I may buy the Seven Chalices CD which seems to host the best tracks of those I've heard. However, I won't promise it will stay for long at home. Contrary to these IANVA CDs I just got.

And you're quite stupid too. I got many many good records, some of which are appreciated by others, you know.

My tastes aren't the main point here. The point is the use of superlatives, again and again. If one listens to them, these albums beat The Return or DMDS... Sorry, they don't! And in the particular case of TEITANBLOOD, I may appreciate their records, but when it comes to chaotic Black/Death-Metal, Evil Shall Prevail, among others, stills stands stronger.

EDIT : When will someone say that their "orthodox qliphotic" DM band is better than DEICIDE's Legion or MORBID ANGEL's first four records?

I think what Xeniteia means is that people use heavy words of praise for new bands a little too freely, making it harder to tell which bands are really deserving and which ones are just flavors of the month. I didn't think he was particularly attacking Teitanblood.

I agree with this, although I'm guilty of it too. It's hard to resist being enthusiastic when a new band kicks your ass, but often there are regrets when I do that, hahaha. I frequently wish I hadn't moved so quickly to say good words about a record.

Finally, Seven Chalices is great. Buying it is a no brainer especially since you pretty much get Davthvs 4 right along with it. Wink
