| Let us know how it sounds once you here the entire CD. Does it
have a White Zombie-like sound? Is it fast? I've never heard of them,
but any group with a drummer who played in White Zombie can't be all
bad.

| 1137.2 | Not really zombie-ish...but fairly heavy! | SUBSYS::MSOUCY | | Fri Mar 15 1996 05:39 | 13 |

It isn't bad, there are some faster parts, but nothing I would call
speed metal. Heavy vocals. But there are a couple duets I guess you can
call them with the female that is on two to three of the tracks that
just make me want to laugh since it reminds me of opera! It's fairly
heavy though all-around. I don't think the drummer on the disc is WZ's
old drummer. That was something I saw on the net in a newsgroup. I
can't remember with all the bandwidth in there....
Hmm, WZ sound...err, not really. Give it a spin, if you don't like it,
Shawn might buy it from you!

| 1137.4 | Try "Death is the beginning III" | KAOFS::C_MENENDEZ | CARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862 | Fri May 24 1996 21:14 | 14 |
| Hey guys;
If you all feel like digging some of these bands, by all means get
a double CD from Relapse Records called "Death is the beginning III".
Therion is among the 30 something bands on the collection, and to
me this is a perfect intro to the kind of music Therion and others
play.
Some songs are incredibly heavy and some are more doom. Some black
metal and some industrial death. A bit for everyone, but like I said a
perfect intro to this kind of stuff.

| Can you get that double CD anywere or do you have to go to a specific
store just to find it? Of course we out here in CO probrobly won't be
able to get it untill every other state has had it for like 3 months.

| 1137.6 | Relapse Records (800-303-0606) | KAOFS::C_MENENDEZ | CARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862 | Mon May 27 1996 14:42 | 47 |
| RE .last
I ordered mine directly through Relapse (800-303-0606). That's
their credit card hotline.
There are 2 versions of this compilation. The first one is an
import digipak ($18) that has 36 bands on the 2 CDs. The NBA (Nuclear
Blast America) version is a plastic case with 37 bands instead of 36.
Before I forget, you'll need the "part numbers" for the CDs. The
import version is #4400, and the american version is #6879. Sometimes
I get the CDs within a week, sometimes more, but never had a problem
ordering through them.
As well, make sure to ask for a catalog ($2). It's well worth it
because there are a ton of excellent bands that you just don't find in
your regular record store, or that are just too expensive to risk.
With every order shipped they also enclose an update catalog with
a hole bunch of goodies, so check it out.
One word of warning, though. Check the prices of the CDs before you
decide on buying. For example, most of the CDs from Century Media are a
bit more expensive than buying directly from CM. Bands like Tiamat,
Comecon, Samael, Sodom, Unleashed are definitely cheaper thu Century Me
dia. Also the same for Roadrunner records and stuff like that.
They have a pile of "compilations" that you can try, and in this
kind of music what you hear on the compilation is pretty much what you
get by buying full release CDs from the bands.
Also, before I let you go (I know you americans have a memorial
day today...), check your Blockbuster music store if you have one
around where you live. I live in the boonies, but every time I go down
to Flint MI for whatever reason I check the BB store. They have a
surprising number of Relapse/NBA releases at extremely reasonable
prices. I have bought CDs that sell at Relapse for $18 at $11 or $12
in BB, and these are Relapse's own releases!!
I haven't been at a TOWER in ages, so I don't know what they carry
for death metal and stuff like that...
Good luck, I trust you will enjoy the compilation (and Therion of
course).

| 1137.9 | Theli - Great CD ! | AXPLAB::VLASIU | Sorin Vlasiu - Brussels, Belgium | Wed Mar 12 1997 09:48 | 17 |
| Theli is certainly one of the best HM CDs of 1996 and a very original
CD in general. Therion have used a classical choir and orchestra
(although they have sampled most of the orchestral parts) and this,
combined with the melodic songs, produced an outstanding album.
The choir (especially the female singers) is present practically in all
the songs. The choral interventions recall a bit parts of Carmina
Burana and are very catchy.
The singer from Therion sings in the mid/lower range (but no growl) and
lets the choir take the lead most of the time. Quite much keyboards,
samplers and synthesizers.
The opera-like singing of the choir is well adapted to the rock rhythm
and gives most of the impact to the music.
If you are not disturbed by opera-like singing, get this CD because
it's just *great*. I don't remeber something similar in rock music.
Highly recommended !
