Re: Eluveitie
I'll start with this! Why the hell are you the only guys in this thread! This band while it doesn't match my taste is great! Where's LG? This is like Metal Jethro Tull!
I came into this thread because Harkat suggested them BUT they weren't my first introduction! Metal had actually exposed me to Omnos in MT and I liked it at the time but failed to explore more! Here are the positives and negatives I got from this band.
Positives:
. Great music as far as everything behind the vocals. Even at the time when the heavy vocals were grating the music actually overpowered it and compensated for them making me enjoy the song altogether. Best example and best heavy song for me was
Uis Elveti!
.The instrumentals! I LOVED the instrumentals! When I delve into a thread I listen to EVERY song and thank God it was Anagantios that started the thread because it hooked me hardcore!
. It was relatively varied (not quite enough for me) for this type of band. I need a breather for bands of this caliber and the female vocals tracks and instrumentals broke it up for me better than most.
Negatives:
. The vocals! They are better than the deep gutteral gorilla vocals I'm used to hating but they are still grating after a bit! I tried to focus on the instrument/music portion the most!
. I couldn't listen to this unless it's in small clumps! It would give me a headache! I made through the thread song by song because there was a lot of redeeming values and I always listen to every song posted for perspective but the vocals and similarities in songs after a bit are hard to sit through for about an albums worth of songs!
Good Band though guys! Deserves more attention so thanks for introducing me!
