    I think, because of the theme, this is a really interesting one to listen to in a bunch of ways. Since it's about dawn, part of that deep moment to moment listening for me is visualizing the actual coming of sunlight. The lyrics on this song/record do a really great job exploring and stressing the weight of dawn as an event, how it's inevitable, how it sort of forces the future to be determined like some quantum science stuff. For me, Dylan's outro solo is meant to be a quiet rest in the new day's warm sunlight after the sort of monumental, inevitable, violent shift of dawn crushing night, feeling the breeze, just appreciating everything in the moment as a meditation.
    The first time I listened to this, I was frozen in place and didn't want to move or do anything. I felt like the silence after it ended was still a part of the song, in a way. I didn't want to break the state of mind I'd been pushed into.
    There, Blayne didn't get into the "perverted" shit he was supposedly teetering on the edge of, so I brought you some flowery English major vomit. You're welcome.
    Personally, this is a 5/5 for me, right on par with Mirror Reaper. I could not be more excited for the rest of the trilogy.

    I feel like more people should listen to Bell Witch, the trance your mind goes and the emotions and feelings you get is UNMATCHED. Whenever I put on Bell Witch, my eyes just get closed immediatly and I just feel the tempo and the energy and its just amazing. Cant wait for the 2nd and 3rd part.

    New Runemagick is awesome! I love that album, and there are parts of the ablum that do not sound like traditional death doom. Why Blayne did not have this album in Mental Monthly I don't know! I'm also really excited Nadir, based on the singles I've heard, and I have to agree, the cover is what first drew me in to checking them out.

    I felt this album was a bit more hummable throughout compared to Mirror Reaper. So in a manner of speaking MR did have a bit more variety for me. I need to listen to this a few more times before I can judge it honestly though. I did absolutely hate all the bits in the album that reminded me of MR because every time a riff started off similar to it I expected them to end it like the former but when they didn't I just got angry. Honestly I think it would be quite unfair for me to judge this album because of how much of an impact Mirror Reaper had on me as a metalhead and even as a person. Even though I knew going into this that I should not expect MR and I should not compare to MR it was basically impossible for me not to.
    Waiting for the next 2 releases though - hopefully they'll complete the sound. And hopefully they won't leave me hanging like this one. I think I *need* the full 4+ hour experience. I don't think this one really "resolved" for me.

    *VULTURE* - Abandoned Haunt Of Cosmic Hate (Death Metal) (formed in 1995!!!) ;
    *DROWNED* - Belligerent - Part I - The Killing State of the Art (Death Metal/Thrash) (Formed in 1994!!!)

  • @MirrorReaper1
    @MirrorReaper1 Рік тому +1

    I was mixed on the song when I first heard it, and still am after 3 listens in total. It doesn't hit the same, or any, highs as Mirror Reaper, and is more of a slumbering mass of dreary funeral doom with no cathartic release as such, comparatively speaking. Plus, Erik's vocals were sorely missed. There's also a section that could easily be excised as it brings the song to a complete standstill.
    Not a bad song, and if I had to rate it on its own, I'd rate it way more favorably. But that's not the case as MR is the best modern day funeral doom ever, and there's really nothing that comes close.
    Hoping the second part is more of a knockout.

    Calling bs on (some of) this fanbase. I think the Mirror Reaper popularity is much more a product of being hipster cool rather than its sonic content. It has the raddest album art in recent memory, though we’ve sadly reached the Lewandowski saturation point (RIP much respect forever). All these people ain’t staring deep into the abyss for a Fear Inoculum amount of time. Not trying to gatekeep as this ain’t really my gate to keep, though I have given the experience a few shakes in the interest of ART.

    Reviews shouldn't have certain expectations because of previous efforts. It's a disservice to the actual album and the review. Just "knowing" it wouldn't be as good as "Mirror Reaper" seems like the wrong way of going about a genuine review.
