What are you listening to right now? (II)

Here, Kerrick... try this.




All the songs are up on Youtube.

I'm listening now.    My crappy computer speakers here at work aren't doing it justice; I may hold out to listen to the rest of the album once I'm able to crank it on proper speakers at home.

Forsaken "Pentateuch"

Holy cow!I I loved this one. I didn't really have high expectations simply because I'm not the biggest Forsaken fan, but this one I liked. I know "brutal" isn't a term usually associated with Doom Metal, but it applies to this album for sure.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a style change at all, this one just has a bit of an aggressive edge to it, compared to the others I've heard.

Awesome!  I can't wait to listen to it.  I think Metaldude and I tie for being the biggest Forsaken fans on CMR (and possibly in the world, who knows hahaha) so I've got pretty high expectations.  Forsaken is yet to put out anything I find even remotely less-than-stellar and it sounds like this one will be no different.

Which albums of Forsaken have you listened to prior to Pentateuch?

I've listened to Dominaeon, admittedly when I listen to the more traditional Doom metal I've got to be in the right mood. I generally tend to lean to the more stoner and Americanized doom metal like Trouble or The Sword.
When I listened to Pentateuch today I didn't have to be in the Doom Mood it just sounded great right off the bat.

My favorite tracks off of Pentateuch are "The Dove and the Raven" and "Apocryphal Winds". But really the whole album is fantastic. At no point did I get bored, which is a major downfall for a lot of Doom groups for me.

Right on.  I'm actually listening to Dominaeon right now.    (That's my favorite of theirs so far, though that could change once I bless my ears with Pentateuch.)  You might like their first album, Evermore a lot.  It's quite a bit different than their later output and less "epic" - instead being more "traditional" in style.

It's also available for a mere $446:

Yikes.  I bought the re-release with a different cover for a pretty reasonable price, though that was a while ago.  Looks like copies are available used on Discogs for not too bad.

Hopefully they'll get around to putting it on Spotify (which is where I listened to both Dominaeon and Pentateuch)

Looks like most - if not all - of the songs are on Youtube, but they're not consolidated into one continuous playlist/album which would be handy.

Signum Regis - Purpleborn

It might be my favorite! Not sure yet.

Katharos - EP

Indeed.  Among the best-of-2017 for sure.
