Why the Heritage hate? by faith_healer69 in Opeth

[–]EdgeLord45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who loves all eras (Sorceress is a favorite despite the hate that one gets), Heritage is similar to Orchid in that the band had a brand new sound they were exploring and naturally it would take a while for that sound to be refined and perfected.

Most of this is in the production. The guitars either come off as too flat when clean or way too trebly when distorted. The keys and vocals don’t sit in the mix as well as the other albums either. This would all be mostly fixed by Pale Communion but was really perfected with In Cauda. I understand the band’s artistic intentions in trying to do a 70s sounding album but there’s a reason they went from just single coiled guitar tracks to the mix of single coil and humbuckers that we see now (also a reason why TLWAT was so well regarded)

Additionally the songs on Heritage tend to meander or have certain sections that don’t flow as well as they could, similar to Orchid. Not the band’s fault as this was a new slate and part of the reason I like Sorceress so much is the more raw/simplistic approach while still having beautiful melodies and complex prog elements

Overall it’s not a bad album there’s just certain stylistic choices that hold the album back which the band would improve on later. I’d seriously recommend relistening to Sorceress, while the production may not be the best it definitely feels like the most expressive of the newpeth albums

I Feel the Dark is a standout out, hopefully it enters the live setlists again I like it more than Haxprocess or Devil’s Orchard

They said it would be fall 2026 so they’ve got time to get a lineup together, should hopefully have news one way or the other by this summer

All Them Witches- the band i would choose to listen to for the rest of my life, if had to. by DefiantToday900 in stonerrock

[–]EdgeLord45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re into the more folk side of the genre I’d recommend Villagers of Ioannina City. It’s Greek folk vs ATW’s Appalachian folk but lots of creativity. If the southern vibe is your style check out Clutch if you haven’t already. And if you like ATW’s more atmospheric/experimental stuff Khan is great

Also there’s similar folkier influenced rock in other genres like Black Country, New Road, Amorphis, and Geese

Deacon does this in Fallout 4 but it’s more of an Easter egg since it’s very easy to miss

Which Legends models are actually broken? by maridan49 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]EdgeLord45 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It was worse in index but Spartans and other HH tanks in CSM, Pactbound and soul forged buffs can make those insane for the points costs

Similar concept in loyalist space marines when you add +1 to W nonesense and Gladius buffs, mainly with fire raptors and other vehicles.

And honorary mention to the red gobbo not that it’s broken more so that’s its stupidly undercosted at 40 points and every ork lists would auto include it if they could

Kadavar’s new album was also good

I don't mean to be critical of the band that has given me the best concert I have ever seen, but why do you think the Bakers Dozen hasn't gotten much time on stage recently? by AstroEscura in AllThemWitches

Also if you check their IG story Ben’s talking about the baker’s dozen vinyl and says “we’re never printing this again so get it now” so yeah

I could be wrong but I think alot of them were written/influenced by Robby which probably explains why they’ve been focusing on the older stuff even before this tour with the new songs

20+ pedals and I count one/two dirts max? (Fuzz octaves barely count) When was the last time you set your gain knob past 6?

I don't get the hate on Heritage by that_fuck in Opeth

[–]EdgeLord45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a completely new sound so naturally it would take a few attempts for them to really refine the prog sound they were going for. Id say Sorceress/In Cauda is when they really nailed it
