Thou- Summit ALBUM REVIEW

[skippingboy123]

lol, gonna see them soon. me and the singer's are friendsss (bryan)

[DrSixxx]

sorry its 3:10

[DrSixxx]

3:12 Frank Zappa

[grtdebater]

you should do a review of Merchandises LP Strange Songs (In The Dark)

[lainblankss]

7 is fucking ridiculous.... try no rating, cause its that fucking bad ass. Smuck

[krippin25]

gotta go with them baton rouge badasses...Thou FTW

[JunkCCCP]

Favorite sludge release of 2010 would have to be High On Fire's latest.

[ilovechipotle85]

i love electric wizard and i think anthony does too.

[poundcaketoredvelvet]

He kept on saying how loud they were, but at live shows, they aren't THAT loud. Guitar players use 5150s turned to 5. They proved to me, that you don't have to be ear shatteringly loud, to be an epic, powerful doom band. Glad I got to play a show with these dudes.

[ninezones123]

@EddieVH66: in that case its surprising that he didnt talk about Grief, Corrupted or Burning witch when he was recommending this to fans of the genre burning witch is a big influence on the vocals of the band

[ninezones123]

you dont listen to a lot of sludge/doom do you?

[EddieVH666]

@ninezones123 he actually does man from what I gather from his other reviews that is his favorite kind of metal and certainly the kind of metal he reviews most often.

[ninezones123]

hey can you review Asunders A clarion call?

[phw124]

I would suggest you review Salome's new album Terminal

[634devil]

They are good at what they do!

[gingerfromabrade]

what did you think of the other records?

[66420192]

Good album, but I really like the Moloch / Thou split EP, Tears that Soak a Callous Heart

[ThreeHourCeasefire]

Great review. Saw these guys live in Ireland last year, intense band.

[CRANKYONE100]

Sweet Tshirt man!..where do i get one?.....

[Tonagamu]

I like your videos, maan, really coherent.

But just real quick isn't Jesu's name pronounced with the J in more of a "y" type of a sound? Like it would be pronounced "yay-su"? Idk, I just heard it like that.

[goatambush]

fuck yeah! so glad you reviewed thou

[Bulldog22031]

My biggest beef with metal these days is that nearly EVERY metal drummer seems to have the same drum kit with the same tuning and the same recording style.

Every drum (especially the snare and the bass) is EXTREMELY tight, and very muted so it ends up sounding like they are just hitting a tight piece of plastic, as opposed to hitting a head that resonates the tone of the woods.

As a drummer, I really cannot give any band more than a 4 or 5 out of 10 if they use that drumming style.

[BuFufilms]

@Bulldog22031 I didn't like that either

[supershiro34]

@Bulldog22031 Really? I've never noticed that. what are some modern metal bands that don't do it?

[Bulldog22031]

@supershiro34 Most bands I can think of probably aren't considered "metal" - I don't really bother with metal these days because almost every band I find has horrible drumming, and it drives me up the wall. The band Tool is an example of what drums SHOULD sound like. He uses an open mic technique that really lets the drums breath so you can hear the tonal qualities of the wood. Not just the dampened thwap! of a plastic head.

[Bulldog22031]

@supershiro34 Some other bands that might be considered metal with better sounding drums are:

Dillinger Escape Plan, Grails, Shora, Tomahawk

[supershiro34]

@supershiro34 ah, I see. I don't play an instrument but I like hearing about how people tweak the sound. I'll start listening for this specifically

[Envee211]

Nice, a sludge review. B)

I've been looking for more sludge.

[MonMccool123]

"MF Doom came out with an album this year?" - Cal

[jbeck1337]

im digging the song you posted in the under bar. id like to hear more but i cannot find.

[andy92811]

Fav: EVE

[andy92811]

lol studio (Frank Zappa)

[brencerta]

anthony fantano, where does a man like you meet women

[isgoanrain]

Great review, never heard of these guys but I'm loving their sound

[jwesley1879]

Can you do your 'walk to the tree' intro for the following fake artist/album?:

Casserole Ferguson- "Sweetness From the Throbbing Tuna"

[JunkyardGod89]

Thou are a great doom band, good to see you giving some promotion!

People who like Thou should definitely check Salome - they even did a split together. And the vocalist (Kat) has been in a Pig Destroyer song and is on ANb's Agorapocalypse - just to give the idea of greatness considering the vocals.

[deathshore]

I like the MF Doom Born like this album cover used for the bleep. -Metaljacket89

[Crim122]

Hey I saw James Bond too! Goldfinger was playing at a local theater. Was pretty sick seeing it on the big screen.

[Oathar]

Just listened to this yesterday, really liked it.

[drlivormortis]

Love this record.

I'm into the muddiness of this album.

[Kilgorin10]

Getting now. Thanks TND, sounds like just my thing.

[DerBertRam]

I have been wanting to pick something up from these guys for a while, and I have ignored them for a while, so I'm glad they came out with a new album.

[anthonyESfool]

where did you get your shirt at? pretty dope

[sashalego]

Across Tundras - Old World Wanderer

The Body - All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood

[enyafreak2007]

I missed you too Anthony, keep up he good work...can't wait to see you on blogtv :)

[ibanez456189]

Ive been listening to Thomas Gabriel Fischer's new project Triptykon through jumblejunkie and im pretty impressed with it, great production on the whole album

[peticsu]

bongripper - satan worshiping doom

[ibanez456189]

VFWs FTW

[basman2006]

aren't your neighbours mad at you for all the loud metal?

[YoureWrongImRight]

Man, this guy is all quasi-hebdomadaires and passes without a musical battery or paluches. Just like a human muppet :P

[offer4]

hehe...5:04..

[JGCSOUND]

The limited edition unmastered version of summit is even uglier sounding, if you can believe that.

100% Dirge!

[jumblejunkie]

Great band but suffers in the mix department

[andeyfunkychicken]

As far as doom goes I quite liked Full Of Hell by Howl and A Small Turn Of Human Kindness by Harvey Milk. But the standout releases of this year have to be Astrohenge's self titled debut and Cathedral's The Guessing Game. While both not pure doom albums, they take the doom template and do some really interesting things with it. Cathedral indulge in some old school prog rock goodness while Astrohenge have numerous ambient passages to break up the bruality.

[chillernz]

they are really good.

I like Draconian better but good

[HATECREWrulz123]

Yay! a metal review! I must check these guys out.

[cjstraton]

how many times do you listen to an album before you review it? just wondering

[GREENWARRI0R]

Favorite doom album this year? More than likely it's Ufomammut's album "Eve". Really great stuff. Check it out if you haven't yet.

[SushiGoat]

0:33 i paused the vid to listen to the song. then I looked at ur paused face while I listened to the song. it was lulzy.

I think I might appreciete this kind of music if I gave it timet to grow, and I liked the guitars and stuff, but it was a little messy. It felt like the musicians where all playing a different song at the same time. Still waiting for the "Vektor-Black Future" of 2010.

[nachkebiaa]

Wait, wait, how do you know the mixing quality through stream? O_o

[MRBLuD]

Thou's Black Sabbath cover EP rules.

[ot63]

good, now I don't feel as bad for getting their discog off mediafire.

[ItsA6StringThing]

My favorite to listen to this year has been Ahab's "Call". Been getting into a lot of Crowbar though.

[JGCSOUND]

@ItsA6StringThing

Fuck yes...."All I had I gave!!"

[jenyouwhine]

Blogtv, please? Emphasis on PLEASE.

[TheBennettification]

@jenyouwhine Seconded. I could use a blogtv right about now

[Gibson2471]

not my type of music but if you were selling my own turd id end up buying it. would love to see some new solid indie bands or black keys type bands.

[MrMrdswoods]

@Gibson2471 HEY U PUNK RUG PUG BUG SLUG SHUT THE FUCK UP IF U WONT TO BUY SOME OF UR OWN SHIT THEN FUCKING SHUT UP AND TAKE A POO IN A CAN U ROBOTIC SLUPPER BITCH BABY BACK MOTHERFUCKER IM ABOUT TO PICK UP THE WORLSD AND SDROP IT ON UR FUCKING HEAD OR MABIE PICK UP MY NUTS AND DROP EM INSTED
