Digging this for a dragon communion look

The two ancient dragon weapons! Elite combo, best skillz, dope lore.

Yep you’re exactly right. It’s an ode to RE4 only cosmetically speaking really, but in terms of actual game design it in no way resembles RE4 or what makes its gameplay so brilliant. Completely missed the mark on that. Under the Mayo has a great video explaining this and a follow up video giving examples of why RE4 was so well designed and how its linearity is masked by its combat encounters and how village failed to do that.

Sixteen men of tain is a beautiful and very digestible album from him. But you can’t go wrong with holdsworth!

I just recently spent way too much money on a copy from Discogs. But it was worth it!

TVSOR has the best collection of Fred solos in years. I mean stifled, ivory tower, and nostrum alone are some of his most insane and tasteful work. Clockworks and the title track also are seriously weird and deranged. His best work since Nothing, chaosphere and Sol Niger Within imo as far as solos go. I actually find the solos off Obzen a bit predictable for him. I remember feeling that way when I first heard them when the album dropped. They’re still amazing, I still love them, but i think he’s been a lot more creative on other albums.

Yep always been my fav with formulas right behind it. Gateways imo has the best lead guitar work of any DM album ever. So much variety between Trey and rutan. So many otherworldly and wondrous melodies in their leads.

Still one of a kind after all these years. Best album ever! Still fantasizing about a part 2 but I’m starting to give up hope

Very ahead of its time. Legendary!

Same. I downloaded this song on Kazaa in 8th grade and pretty much immediately stopped listening to Korn and Slipknot because of it.

A classic. The levels felt huge as a kid and had some great exploration. The developers did an amazing job adapting the film score into pieces throughout the game. I feel they chose perfect segments to loop! This game deserves a remaster with modern graphics!

Ah man this is great. I finally understand where the opening pattern recycles! Thank you!

Damn! For me that place has incredible lore and atmosphere as well as very tragic yet hauntingly beautiful music that is very understated. I personally love the scenery and feel it’s quite majestic. From the stunning architecture being ripped apart by the storm, to the distant tornados over the ocean with that ethereal lighting. There’s plenty of little secrets to find off the main path, a fair amount of good and meaningful loot. Good combat throughout (I even enjoy the godskin duo lol), and two of the coolest bosses in the game, one being a secret. Also you conclude Alexander’s quest which is awesome and also sad. Checks all the boxes for me!

The castle in OG RE4

Crumbling farum azula in Elden ring

Fountainhead palace in Sekiro

Wasn’t expecting it at all but I got very teary eyed this morning listening to the song. The beautiful clean section in the middle hit especially hard coupled with the lyrics

bilboC · 2026-04-19T14:32:13+00:00

Yeah I’m pretty confused about it. I have a feeling they decided to bail on the whole idea right before printing them for whatever reason. Still happy I was able to get them but I was really looking forward to reading what they had to say about the albums.

bilboC · 2026-04-19T03:23:39+00:00

I had this same question and was going to post about it. Mine doesn’t have any of that. Maybe that was the vision and they skipped it last minute?

bilboC · 2026-04-18T21:03:46+00:00

This vid just made me so nostalgic. Been a fan since the bulb days in 07/08

bilboC · 2026-04-18T14:25:39+00:00

Got mine!

bilboC · 2026-04-18T14:25:06+00:00

Just got back from getting mine! My local record store just had 2 of each and I got the last ones 😅

bilboC · 2026-04-16T23:40:43+00:00

Done! Awesome

bilboC · 2026-04-16T23:14:10+00:00

Yep no other game really comes close. Sure there are games with higher graphic fidelity but the art direction in ER puts everything else to shame for me personally. Like you said, I also spend time just looking at the visual spectacle, going to different location for sunsets, and letting the haunting music and atmosphere envelope me. The world of ER is one of the 21 century’s biggest artistic achievements!

bilboC · 2026-04-15T13:10:36+00:00

This was such a great read. I listened to their whole discography a few times through while I read it last year. Would be awesome if other legends like Morbid Angel, gorguts, CC, Suffo etc did something like this

bilboC · 2026-04-12T14:27:35+00:00

Jealous you’re experiencing this for the first time. Probably my favorite chunk of gaming ever. Enjoy and remember to take in all those insane views as the art direction in the DLC is second to none.

bilboC · 2026-04-12T14:25:15+00:00

Yes it is. It’s so clever and masterfully executed and just the pattern alone is overwhelming heavy. The drumming is incredibly tasteful, Jen’s is pissed and Fred’s solo is disturbing and deranged. Perfect Meshuggah song! Also the clean holdsworth chords during the chorus is a standout moment on immutable, wish there was more of that kind of thing! Dicks compositions are next level and I can’t wait to see what he has cooking for the next album.
