Bölzer track is so prog-ish. Need to listen to more songs but I am not hating it.

Did anyone else get a sort of Mastodon vibe out of it? o_O

[Blood Music]

Yes - a lot of people mentioning that too. Man, NWN is ripping the band a new asshole. So, it may not stop the record from selling, but they're definitely gonna have to hit a new fanbase of more prog and heavy doom fans. If the hate keeps up, they're gonna stop being a big draw in the black metal scene imo.

Yeah, I heard a lot of complaining about them being a hipster band already when EP's gathered a lot of hype, I bet shit will hit the fan now :D

[Blood Music]

Yeah - apparently they turned down some metal major offers, maybe they should have just taken them in the first place. It's starting to look like IBP isn't the best label for them now ... anyway we'll see how is the final. Several people reported seeing them play this material live and it worked better in a live setting.

[Emplate]

Have to agree with you, most people who dig IBP's products might be too dm/bm oriented for this kind of stuff.

This will be interesting. I can't wait to hear Ghost and Bölzer based on the comments. I don't know what to expect really, except that Bölzer won't be as awesome as the EPs were/are.

Ghost is definitely tight, poppy as usual and nothing groundbreaking, but tight. Bölzer I am enjoying more on a second spin. Might be getting it if I hear more like this.

The Ghost song was nice. Nothing spectacular, but nice.

Bölzer on the other hand... After five listens I'm still not sure what to make of it. I hope it's a good sign. I kinda like it, but I'm a little torn and confused. I have to hear more from the album. Even though the EPs hit me instantly, I'm still not tired of them, far from it. This doesn't hit me like they did, but I'm not hating this, so most likely I'll buy it in any case.

I'm not very sure about the new Bölzer either. On first listen, I didn't like it at all. On second listen and onward, it kind of plods along without being much engaging. We'll see where this sits within the context of the album. I just hope it's not representative of the album and more likely to be a bad song choice for a premiere.
