Really? That shit sounded boring. Don't get me wrong, it rocks, but its so matter of fact in it's carbon-copy-ness. Only thing cool about this is I
want to see them record using all the old school amps and guitars.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.
I could hear the Sabbath riffs throughout the song, couldn't listen to it all.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

Yeah no kidding. How that can even be an issue with people who like hardcore doesn't make sense to me anyway. There's like 5 "sounds" that 500 bands
ape.
I don't think those guys are trying to fool anyone for a minute. They know exactly what they are and they do it to perfection.
Sometimes you're allowed to listen to good music, just because it's good. I'll take listenable over credible anyday.
Some of the old HC bands still trying to do credible need some listenable clones.

Listened to the song posted again. Talent aside, because they have in spades, it just sounds dated to me. Rather than copying everything Sabbath,
they should try to update the sound a bit and add their own flavour to it.

Just bought Through The Devil's Doorway; great EP. I've been listening to these guys alot lately. You can listen to almost everything here http://orchid.bandcamp.com/
Yeah all their stuff is good...but IMO this new one is by far the best. It's obviously obscenely Sabbath...but at the same time they're starting to
really get their groove in it...there's a lot of weird elements that are also comparable to how Sabbath would experiment with different shit while
still maintaining the RIFF.
Nomad, Silent One, Mountains of Steel & See You on the other Side are some absolutely ridiculously good songs.
Sometimes it's just fun to have something that kicks ass with the windows down.
