Dødsverk recommended

it is horrible how overlooked this band is, people are missing out, i know that, couse i know best ,, (kidding), im just feal bit lonly in my praise for them and i am fairly certain more then me will find this band a good find,

I also like if people responds to trys to highlight bands that are not the top 7 of prog or any of the top acts in prog metal, here i try hard to promote a unknown, dissbanded band, whos albums is really hard to get and info is dfficult to get a hand on, and no interest, like people liek it comforting which is wrong on a prog forum, interesting bands should peak for any prog fans, im just sad to feal I am the only one who actualy adore Dødsverk, they are basicly forgotten in Norway also, non of my music friends know of them. A prog fan should give themself a favout to listen to the album Sjelefred, basicly one of the best progressive (rock) albums from Norway, this album is as revolutionary as Death, Atheist and Cynics debute albums, the tripod of progressive tech death metal, it is much more progressive then Ulvers debute, Opeths debute, and Arcturus debute,

album Sjelefred will apeal to fans of Tool, the Mars Volta, Cynic, Death, UneXpect, Major Parkinson, Jaga Jazzist, Motorpsycho, Primus, Faith No More, free jazz, P-funk, Bootsy Collins, System of a Down, heavy heavy heavy Comus, abstractness, quirkyness, obscurness, odd-time sigs, headbanging, and just heck of fun, will love Dødsverk,

 yes they have all the elements in one album as mention above   


Fans of Jazz/fusion sheck out Sjelefred       

                                                                             fans of avant prog with Mellotron sheck out                                                           
                                                                    Fun For All the Family

Yes, an  excellent band, very very interesting, recently added to the site

For those who enjoy "eclectic" experimental metal with several twists, this is a band to aim for

Hie

hello where are you fans of avant garde metal, embrace the force of Dødsverk, (deathwork),

fellow PAers from Norway be awere of the greatness of this once band which issent anymore, embrace the music and play it loud, and bang your head, and dance on tables,

i hate to be the only person who is enthusiastic about this band, i nead fellow PAers who are awere of them, listens to them, like them, and can talk at length about the band,

i also would like to see more reviews of albums, more analytical reviews and informative reviews, from metal heads, and avant heads, and other heads

are there heads around,

thanks

do you get what is said about nu metal elements Smurph

Smurph wrote: Yea. But really this is kinda pre-nu metal. It's nu metal in the sense that Mr Bungle is nu metal. Both are solid amazing precursors to the genre and are way better than their derivatives. Plus its like prog grunge too.

i know right

do you notice how more vastly the mellotron plays a role in the second album and is not found on the first.

the second album is clearly more eclectic prog similar then avant prog similar, i would think more hard hitting and vintage and closer to classic prog influence

the first album have a more wilder jazz sound, more avant garde,

SMURPH (1 )i would say the first album is avant garde metal, (2) i would say the second album is pure eclectic progressive metal
