| I will check this... but I wonder whether the modern production is not ruining the psychedelia. I guess you have no problems with it. Also a woman on vocals... she better be good... |

I just realised I read an interview with the guitarist in the newspaper last week. It was about his motivation in life. What a loser... he seemed to be a very childish man, to me at least.
Therefor, although this review caught my eye in a positive way, I don't think I will be checking out this band. |

TO ITUNES!!!!
Do you actually pay for digital music? It's actually cheaper most of the time to buy CD's than it is to buy from itunes. I gotta admit though, Itunes is pretty convenient. |

iTunes is convenient I agree but I personally cant stand not having a physical copy of an album. Given the choice I would always buy the CD.
Nice review btw. |

If there is one inetresting guy it's Selim. Can you link me up to the newspaper article? Cause all the interviews I have read with him he was interesting, even though I didn't agree with most of what he said. I see you have Arckanum in your fav bands, then I guess you never read an inetrview with that guy, cause he comes across a lot more childish in his beliefs than Selim. |

Same here, TBH I cant remember the last time I bought a CD from a major store (Such as HMV) best off looking at smaller record stores who can order in the CD from wherever Or you could hit up a distributor on-line or use Amazon or something along those lines (if possible of course) |

Seeing as I dont have a job, i dont have a credit card, so i canty make online purchases very easy, but i can buy pre-paid visa's. however they have lots of taxes on them.
sometimes HMV can order me stuff in, however it takes forever. |

I bet it doesn't even come close to what I spent on cd's, vinyls, cassettes in 2011 
thank God I don't have a credit card or paypal account or it would have been even more.
I just just pay via bank transfer within Europe, long live SEPA. |

It probably doesn't even compare to what you've probably spent on 2011 Doom releases |

let mme see how much that is in Euros.
Okay that would be a little under 6000 euros.
In total I spend just above 8000 euros on cds, casettes and vinyls. |

What the....How the... I don't even...?
This reaction is actually honest because I totally forgot about the number when we talked about it a while ago so I was going to bet on 4000 or something. |

| I can only recommend to check The Devil's Blood out, not only on CD but certainly live. Saw them last year at Speedfest and on stage the whole Devil's Blood experience (they call it Rituals themselves) is the sum of all their musical and occult elements. And although I liked Docs review, I kinda missed the musical context of The Devil's Blood. You can't compare these Dutch black magicians to the colourful Irish The Answer and the likes... This is pure classic retro doom, groovy but yet dark as hell. The Thousandfold Epicentre is definitely their best work, allbeit a bit monotonous at times, but that comes with the musical genre. This cd has ended up high in some doom-metal blog cd of the year lists and has earned its share deal of spins in my cd-player as well (only to be knocked out of there by The Wounded Kings for the last weeks)... |

Not checking out music because of a childish interview... in a newspaper? Really? I mean, I still have a problem trying to listen to and like Burzum because of its history, but in all other cases it's always worth checking a band out and forming some kind of opinion based upon the music and nothing else. And today I am not even sure if the Satanism in The Devil's Blood is as real as they pretend it to be. To me it is just part of the occult atmosphere of their music and a nice live gadget during their Ritual/performance... |

~10k USD. Really? I thought I was bad. I spent a few hundred bucks in the last 3 months on CDs. |

I find them not good live at all. I have seen them live 7 times now, both in clubs and at festivals and only the last time, the 7th were they good live. But then again they played just over two hours that time and started just after midnight. My biggest problem with them live is that Farida's vocals are powerless in a live atmosphere.
As for retro doom  there is next to no doom in their sound even though doom fans generally like them. |

O_O My mom earns less than that over the course of one year, and the average pay in Serbia is around 30% lower than hers. Whoever's been stealing our country's money, please, give it back, so we can spoil ourselves for the first time in twenty years  |

I personally consider myself a lucky Serbian person for living with four other people in a two-room apartment instead of one room like a lot of people have, that my family can afford paying most of the bills and buying non-crappy food, that we all have our own cellphones (although my brother hasn't bought himself a new one for six years) and for "spoling" myself with a couple of cheap-ass shirts or pieces of jewelry each month What is funny in this whole story is that other European people complain about a three year recession and in the meantime we're all high-fiving each other because our standard has been so low in the past 20 years, it can't possibly go lower.
Most of kids in my generation are pretty humble and it makes me happy, although it makes a lot of other kids hungry for cash and doing whatever they can to get it. But I'm pretty happy about it because, if I'm meeting some of my needs with no money whatsoever, I can't wait to see how it will be like when I finish college and start earning on my own. |

| You won't hear me complain about my standard of living at all, recession or not. Funny thing thing is even though there is a so-called recession here people still earn as much as they used to and get their yearly salary raises. Inflation isn't too bad either and they can still go on holiday, eat properly, pay their rent etc. Us Westeners should stop complaining. We're spoiled rotten. |

The recession has really hit me hard I have had to fire three of my maids and sell two of my five Rolls Royce's just so we can keep our holiday home in the Bahamas, Sometimes I wonder how I get by at all. 
Really you are right, We are spoiled rotten, But years of being spoiled rotten have got us bitching about how "bad things are" in reality we are the lucky ones. |
