BLACK HOLE

daniel · Post by **daniel** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 8:15 am

I've listened to the album for years, and I'm -quite- aware of what Doom Metal is, I'm strict about it - some 'doom influences' mean nothing to me, and seeing as I have most bands in this genre I can think of and play Doom Metal as well... I don't need to argue about it with you guys.

When I first heard BLACK HOLE I thought they were amazing, but that's worn off over the years, I think I can be objective about it, it simply isn't as amazing as people say.

I gladly buy copy of this album rright away! For me this is more doom than some of the "real" doom bands.

Incredible band. Incredible album. One of my favorites in both categories.

Bells of Death could be one of the greatest songs ever. The intro is so atmospheric that it almost feels as you´re participating in an ancient black magick ritual just by listening to it. And it´s just 12 seconds long!

Finally I listened to Living Mask a few times and I really like that album. of course, being released under the name "Black Hole" makes you compare it to Land Of Mystery, and at first makes you think is not that good, but after giving it a few listens it started to grow on me. To me is more "proggy" than the first one, and that electric sound of the drums makes it sound like a soundtrack of an 80s horror b-movie, but as a fan of 80s horror b-movies sountracks I really liked it! And What about "The End of All Times"? Sounds like Wolfenstein's 3D music, but it has that "so bad is good" thing for me.

I gave the Living Mask cd to a friend to listen and when he returned it,he said it was unaudible and that he didh't manage to hear it all.Of course i didh't take his opinion seriously,as he ish't in the whole thing of obscure metal.On the other hand,i understand that this album is somewhat difficult to be liked by even many of the metallers who are fond of unusual metal stuff,as it is pretty diffirent for the majority of the metal scene

i snagged the cd version a couple yrs back too; sounds great (kinda-worn vinyl sound doesn't bother me) but the demo trax are a bit too loud and take away from the overall feel...

one day i'll locate the vinyl....one fookin day

Is this official?

What label re-issued this?"
