1156.0. "Tiamat - Wildhoney = Excellent pick!" by SUBSYS::MSOUCY () Mon Jun 03 1996 06:48

    
    This is a note for a new (not really new, but new to me) band I picked
    up with the recommendation of a dude at my local Newbury Comics called
    Tiamat. Two guys on bass and guitar, good amount of keys for some
    ambience, but they are pretty heavy! Doom genre but with some HEAVY
    bass and drum lines! My favorite tune is # 2 titled "Whatever That
    Hurts" and has both guys doing vocals, one lighter the other HEAVY and
    it KICKS BUTT!
    
    They have about 5 discs out, of which one is live. I have heard of them
    before but I REALLY like this cd! Once I heard the second vocalist kick
    in I had to start the song over because I liked it! Been playing this
    disc all weekend. If you like some heavy music in the doom-ish genre
    but with some good lighter vocals and keyboards, classical style guitar
    and other ambience (rainfall/thunder) you might enjoy this disc.

1156.1	And I'm not a die-hard metalhead.	RTOEU::RWINTER		`Mon Jun 03 1996 08:39`	12
	I agree. "Wildhoney" is terrific! BTW it was elected album of the year (=1994) by the readers of Rock Hard (best german HM magazine), and after 2 years, it's still in their monthly "Readers Charts". Discography: Sumerian City (1990) The Astral Sleep (1991) Clouds (1992) The Sleeping Beauty - Live In Israel EP (1993) Gaia EP (1994) Wildhoney (1994) Ryener
1156.2	yup, that's what I saw someplace else	SUBSYS::MSOUCY		`Mon Jun 03 1996 10:57`	6
	What do you recommend next? Clouds? I may have to order it! I really really like this new one! Mike
1156.3	Buy the "live" album..	KAOFS::C_MENENDEZ	CARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862	`Mon Jun 03 1996 15:24`	9
	Mike: Pick up the Sleeping Beauty. It's live in Israel and IMO it's their absolute best. I have them all, and the live album blows everything else out of the sky. Carlos
1156.4	Order from Century Media	KAOFS::C_MENENDEZ	CARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862	`Mon Jun 03 1996 15:27`	5
	BTW, the best prices tfor iamat and any other Century Media bands are directly from CM. They are supposed to come up with a new catalog next month, which should include a new Tiamat plus the new Grave. Carlos
1156.5	Cool! Web page for CM?	SUBSYS::MSOUCY		`Tue Jun 04 1996 06:38`	13
	Carlos, Is there a web pointer for CM? And what does Grave sound like? I'll almost bet death type music eh?! Are you connected to the Mega band list on the web? Bands from A-Z and some info on them via other pointers, it is pretty big! That is where I find some of these groups other than in here or one of the alt.r-n-r.metal/heavy news groups. Thanks in advance! I've heard about CM I think in here or in the net. Mike
1156.6	CM (310)574-7400	KAOFS::C_MENENDEZ	CARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862	`Tue Jun 04 1996 07:48`	25
	Mike: Actually, I don't think CM has a web page. Call them at (310)574-7400x116 (mark) for info and catalogs. On the last one I have, The Astral Sleep, Clouds and Wildhoney are listed at $10. Sleeping Beauty is $8 ($9 if you want the digipack), and Gaia is $10 (Digipack). Grave is pretty much death metal, you are right. If you liked Wild honey you might like Amorphis last 2 CDs (tales from the 1000 lakes and Elegy). I am not connected to the Mega Band list, do you have a pointer? Most stuff I look for I rely on Altavista to provide me with pointers. Word of caution. IMO, Wildhoney is a change in direction for Tiamat. In the previous releases the sound is definitely heavier, with the gutural voice dominating the scene. But they are still very, very good. I'm sure you'll like them. Good luck on your purchases.. Carlos
1156.7	here's the pointer!	SUBSYS::MSOUCY		`Tue Jun 04 1996 11:10`	10
	Here is the pointer to the megalist band listing: http://www.lut.fi/~mega/muzac/bands.html A through Z for band listings and a lot of pointers to web pages from it also. A must for all who are into metal/heavy music!! Mike
1156.8	Wildhoney - very impressive	TPLAB::VLASIU	Sorin Vlasiu - Brussels, Belgium	`Mon Oct 21 1996 10:39`	20
1156.9	I want to get some older Tiamat stuff too!	SUBSYS::MSOUCY		`Tue Oct 22 1996 07:21`	18
1156.10	The Gathering seems fine	TPLAB::VLASIU	Sorin Vlasiu - Brussels, Belgium	`Tue Oct 22 1996 08:00`	8
1156.11	Waldemar is a SUPER guy!!	KAOFS::C_MENENDEZ	CARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862	`Tue Oct 22 1996 10:44`	28
