I dunno, natural progression or not, that album did nothing for me. but like I said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and just because Nightside Eclipse is my favorite (followed by a tie between Anthems and IX Equilbium) dosen't mean that you're not entitled to like Prometheus. One of my big things against it was I felt it to be WAAAAY overproduced for a band that wrote the book on raw chaffing black metal production... :bartmoon: |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2007 1:42pm - dreadkill ""] i love prometheus. so good. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 28,2007 1:43pm - SacreligionNLI ""] i love just about everything they do...produced well or not |

| ________________________________ [Mar 29,2007 6:19pm - retzam ""] Yeti said:retzam said:Satryicon - Mother North (main riff) there is no way to single out a riff in that song. the whole song is just one awesome riff. I consider the main riff in Mother North to be the one in three measures of 6 and a measure of 5 that knocks down walls and recurs at the end of the song and knocks down more walls and is probably the most recognizable black metal riff ever. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 29,2007 6:23pm - retzam ""] Oh, and by "middle riff" in Angel Of Disease, I mean the one that comes after the second time the "down a third up a second, down a third up a second" riff happens. You know, the one that goes "duh duh duh, duhduhduh, duh" |
