The Gloom In The Corner - Hail To The King

[@dase_band]

There are people who are confused by TGITC's music, but that's how you know they are doing something right. Not your cookie-cutter band. Love it.

[@larristheblackswan3584]

This is basically an ovids withering rip off, The writing style and sound. I don't put any blame on the band, more the record label has a reputation of doing that to a lot of their bands they signed. The only exception so far is ABR, I have no detected any fuckery there... yet.

Tired of generic architectcore crap, this shit is bomb

[@garg0y7e]

@@larristheblackswan3584 While I absolutely understand where you could be coming from (cheers for the recommendation by the way, really liking Ovid's Withering so far), it's by no means a rip off. The bands both have orchestral elements and writing that merges fantastical storytelling with metal music. I'd say you could just as well say they're ripping off The Wise Man's Fear in that regard, if that's what you wanted to do. But if that were the case, then everything is a rip off of something else. These guys are making original music, their songwriting is definitely different from Ovid's Withering and "writing that tells a story and doesn't inherently follow conventional song structures" really isn't anything you could trademark or claim as one band's invention.

We were hoodwinked into believing Jay and Sherlock were done. I’m so glad they’re back.

[@garg0y7e]

I mean as far as we can tell, Baphico immediately whacked Clara and Sherlock, so who knows what exactly has happened to them. But everyone else seems to have been "unaffected" so far, aside from the whole Apocalypta business.

What a good year for music, god DAMN does this hit hard. Never heard the band before but consider me a new fan. Gonna give the album a listen.

[@beebee8894]

This album makes me so happy! It's so diverse and engaging

[@AlexB1760]

This song alone is perfection. The story and rest of the album make it even better!

[@fingalh]

the hype im experiencing, one hour away fellas

[@darkstarmusic6568]

I think my ears are hearing angels. Holy hell this is good.

[@liamblack4840]

This band is incredible. AOTY.

[@Darthescar98]

I saw that there was an 8-minute song, and decided to save the best for last. I expected brilliance yet I was still shocked by how brilliant it is. The sound is just so unique while still being very metal. It sounds like there was inspiration from how FromSoftware music really describes characters and stuff using music theory, and these guys decided to do that but metal and with their own characters/stories. The sound of it reminds me of Ice Nine Kills at some parts, but really it's unique enough that it's best e plained by an ambitious or unique objective, rather than a bunch of scattered inspiration

[@Creeper333pl]

I see the Ice Nine Kills comparison - this band kinda reminds me of that band but with everything turned up to 11. This song kinda reminds me of a way crazier version of It Is The End haha

Yo @sharptone this needs a proper video. Get it done

[@larristheblackswan3584]

Great band, super talented, just really don't like how sharptone records does things. countless times ive come across bands on this label where they rip off old sounds from old bands and jam it into their signed bands. in this case, prime example is Ovid's Withering.

[@dase_band]

To be fair, Ovid has 2k listeners on Spotify. I don't think anyone rips them off, respectfully.

[@metalswifty23]

Failing to see any similarities between the 2 bands, aside from they both play heavy music

[@mpk6664]

Oh no! Someone played an instrument!

[@metalswifty23]

@@mpk6664 It's also funny that they're somehow suggesting Sharptone are responsible for their sound, despite this just being a natural progression of what they'd already done. This album really isn't all that different stylistically to Ultima Pluvia, except it's just dialled up even further (Requiem was clearly a test run of Hail to the King).

[@l0stnam312]

I thought bands of similar genre and style fall under the same record label. Be amazing at a handful of styles and highlight the talents of that style, rather than do everything and not be so great at it

Lol I LOVE the 1994 DOOM reference art ❤
