Primordial

Absolutely amazing band. Some of the best stuff to ever come out of Ireland and To The Nameless Dead deserves to be a classic.

Spirit The earth Aflame is

Both of those albums are very good.

I had high expectations when I got the album since people kept recommending me it. I like the music, but the vocals destroys it.. It was To the Nameless Dead I heard.

I like Primordial, but it's not a band that I listen to everyday.

I think thier more suited for the Folk Metal section...

I think so too.

Wait a sec, I have the power to move this if I wanna.



(Heat, you can move this back to the BM section if you want)

You know, what I try to do is to categorize a band by it's main sub genre. I think Primordial is Black Metal with Folk influences therefore should be in the Black Metal section. Any other thoughts on this?

See, I think its the other way around. I think they are a folk metal band with black influences... but whatever. Its all good.

OK, I took a quick vote in the shoutbox and as usual....I fucking lost....

KO

Irish Black Metal gods \m/

:yaay:

Finally someone, who doesn´t praise only the last 2 albums they made. "Spirit the Earth Aflame" is with "A Journey´s End" one of the best CDs ever in this black/folkish genre.
IMO aren´t many bands outhere, that have such an awesome discography, from the very first to the last CD... Everything they do, seems to work.

Alan´s vocals are something that is not possible to think away from Primordial and fits perfect to the music they make.
What exactly is not to like on Alan´s singing?

Anything by Primordial is godly.

to the nameless dead is a great album, nemtheanga is a great vocalist

I never listened to this band, but many people suggest them, thus my brother will donate me "The Gathering Wilderness" as my birthday present and then I can inform you about my opinion of the band.^^

The vocalist should commit suicide

This band fucking slay. I just got into them today, sadly not earlier. I'll be going to pick an album up shortly. I picked up Nameless. It's rather awesome. I've seen this band getting nothing but praise and I see why! They're a very cool folk band. I like my folk to have BM influence. So this band is great with me. I'm not a huge fan of the vocalist but he doesn't annoy me or anything. Goes well with the music I guess.

I revieved it today (hail amazon) and it sounds great, but I hadn't the time to listen to it that much...

It´s a very good idea to start with the lastest albums and then go backwards through their disography. Trust me, you still have few older gems to find...

A very good band. Have a hard time picking a favorite album.... Spirit the Earth Aflame or Storm Before Calm I think.

id say the best three songs are "the coffin ships", "empire falls" and "gods to the godless". in that order

Oh these vocals. Absolutely crushing, deep and emotional. Primordial are a league on their own.
