Re: Skald - in veum (APRIL 2019!!!)

Actually, I was pleasantly surprised by the lyrics/message. The lyrics on Inferno (from their EP) kinda put me off with the whole different layers of hell and whatnot which isn't biblical (though I assume just used symbolically). The new song's lyrics were quite straight-forward and serve as a warning of the current state of the world but also an encouragement to stand firm in our faith and be reminded of Who we serve - and that He's coming soon!

Yes sir, I enjoyed it quite a bit! They seem to be wanting to push the envelope (and push some buttons while they are at it) and I think it's very black metal. I'm already having thoughts of possible album of the year but I hate to jump the gun one song in...

Here's the song performed live. This was posted way back in 2017 (so they've been writing this material for some time) but I hadn't seen it. Found it this weekend.

When I read the press-release about this album being politically-incorrect and potentially offensive or whatnot, I rolled my eyes and figured it might be something I end up skipping because usually that kinda stuff ends up being gimmicky and immature IMO. But if the rest of the album is like this song, I'm all for it!

The album stream is up on Bandcamp and there is a second track available for streaming now.

Man... I kind of want to wait for the release... *tries to resist temptation*

It's already been two weeks since the album released and I haven't received my copy yet for some reason. I'm in the United States too and I ordered it straight from Rottweiler so I thought it'd be here by now...

by Kerrick Sun Apr 28, 2019 4:54 am

Oh bummer! That is frustrating... Have you tried contacting Rottweiler?

I haven't received my order yet, either. Pre-ordered weeks in advance. It's possible that not all of the stock came in? I don't remember if Rottweiler usually sends out shipping confirmations, but I never got one. Please lmk if you hear anything back from them.

by Zymologist Thu May 02, 2019 11:25 am

I got my pre-order on Friday, but it did take longer than I expected.

by Kerrick Fri May 03, 2019 4:08 pm

New lyric video and it sounds gooooood!

by **MetalPioneer** Tue May 07, 2019 5:15 pm

Got a message today from Rottweiler saying that they made a mistake and some of the pre-orders never shipped out. Mine was one of them. Check your email if you still haven't received the CD.

by CrimsonWarrior Wed May 08, 2019 9:22 pm

Yeah I got that email too. This is bad for me because I had them ship it to my university since I figured it'd get there within two weeks of the album's release (before the semester ended). Now I'm at home though and I'm not sure what's going to happen to it...I sent them an email asking if they could ship it to a different address but they haven't responded yet.

by **MetalPioneer** Wed May 15, 2019 6:04 pm

Finally got my copy yesterday. I feel like it should have been express shipped, or at least we should have gotten a free digital download code while we waited since it was their mistake....oh well.

At least I have the album now.

Yeah, that's a bummer. I've gotten spoiled with bandcamp CD purchases, because you get a free download the moment you purchase.

How do you like it Matthew?

I think it's a great album overall. The only critiques I would give it are that it could be longer and there could be more variation in the some of the songs (i.e. dynamic range, tempo, rhythms). The lyrics are very interesting as well.

by Kerrick Fri May 17, 2019 5:29 pm

Cool. It's on my list but with all these Abran Records CDs, I'm already over budget for May haha. It'll have to wait...

by CrimsonWarrior Sat May 18, 2019 12:16 pm

Still no word on my copy. Rottweiler never responded to my email asking if they could ship to a different address. I might just ask for a download code like one of you mentioned. If my university receives it, I'm not sure if they'll send it over to my house or if they'll send it back to Rottweiler...

Edit: just sent an email asking for a download code. We'll see how/if they respond.

by CrimsonWarrior Mon May 20, 2019 8:18 pm

Ah, I have it today. It looks like they sent it to my university and then the university sent it to me.

Glad to hear. Enjoy!

I got my copy a couple of weeks back and I love it. I would say it's one of my favorite albums in this genre. I wasn't really bothered by the swear words because I appreciate how bold and direct the message is.

Hi Ydi! Good to see you around. Yeah, this one seems right up your alley in terms of the musical content.

Interesting. Can you give some examples? I'm still on the fence for whether to buy it... Thanks!

by Kerrick Wed Apr 01, 2020 5:22 pm

Well I FINALLY got around to picking this album up! I should've done it sooner! Musically it's excellent and I was surprised at how much I like [most of] the lyrics. There's one word (b*tch) and some rather edgy imagery but as Ydi said, their message is quite bold and overall very good. Highly recommended!
