Wintersun's Indiegogo campaign
There's only one pledge. 50 euros. They need a $150,000 euros. I thought they need a million. It looks like a ton of shit of the 50 euros. Remastered versions of Wintersun and Time I, Live album, and acoustic album too,
Edit: The Forest album is coming in July.

Not all doom, but their slow songs are fucking great.

Ugh. I fucking love this band but I don't care about the remastered albums or the album without vocals. (The acoustic thing is just one song btw.)
50 euros is just too much to ask for an album. I would have happily paid 20-30 for the new album + the live tracks to support them. Why there aren't tiers is beyond me...

Apologies if these are super obvious recs. I'm not the biggest fan of doom, the bands I like are generally on the sludgey punk side of things vs. Sabbath/70's/etc

Did the "Shut up and take my money" thing for Wintersun. I would LOVE remastered versions of their first two albums, mostly just to have them 
I'm worried about the need to do multiple crowd funding campaigns though. I'm a fanboy, but that shit has limits.
Plus, it's not like they need some major fucking space as a studio. I know of smaller bands that have their own studios built in like garages and shit. They put out quality music. George Barnett records vocals in his fucking car sometimes.
This is more want than need, which feels lame.

Disma (NJ) - The Graveless Remains
preview of the new Disma EP. Two tracks and releasing later this month. Totally crushing, primitive OSDM.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
People really like their music? And not sure how it's pathetic, seems more impressive considering how fast they're going to reach the goal. Though I don't prefer crowdfunding. Between games and music I think I've only backed one thing.
Been following Wintersun since their debut and it sounds like Jari is just a obsessive perfectionist and since their albums are so fucking dense, they just take forever to make. I remember reading about his issues with the studio so it's cool to see them break out of that.
I'll probably go in on the campaign a little later this month. I wanna see how over the goal they can go first.
The little snips of the album in the Youtube video sound incredible already so I'm sure it'll be a great album.

You always seemed baffled that people like different music than you.

Pathetic? Really? I'm not really into Wintersun but calling their fans pathetic is pretty unnecessary.
I also noticed this.. it's pretty jarring.
Really brings the metal community down a notch from the perspective of new metalheads entering the thread.
Someone comes in and says they like Disturbed... Oh shit... Now we have a 3 hour argument on whether Nu-Metal is metal or not.
Pretty ridiculous

I couldn't give a squirt of piss about Wintersun but following this crowdfunding thing has been interesting. I wonder how the Nuclear Blast execs are feeling right now.

Just can't seem to get into.
So far it seems like a continuation from their second album, which is great, but I really wanted them to follow the path they set with the 3rd and 4th album.

I'm the complete opposite, their third album did nothing really impressive to advance from their previous efforts, and their fourth was a boring pile of shit to me. Hell, some of their more creative pieces came from the first album with stuff like Beneath the Waves. Add some more progressive elements to their music, venture a bit more into some death/thrash and they can create some appealing music, they have been boring studio wise since their second release, live they still have it though, just need to capture energy

I'm almost more hyped for Time 1.5 than the new stuff
Very, very happy for the band. I hope this thing hits like 300k before the month is out. Jari's a perfectionist with his head up his ass, but the music is worth it and I'll throw money at him until the world ends.
Thergothon was pretty cool, thanks.
I dug all of these except I wasn't much into Primitive Man. SSOS was especially dope.
Woah, Mizmor is fucking nuts. I love it. Haven't checked out the others yet.

After all the shit Jari pulled? Yeah, their fans continue to baffle me.
More like I'm baffled that a band so utterly generic and bland gets so much adoration to the point that people put up with an extremely douchey, whiny drama queen of a frontman who takes forever to release said generic albums and even throw money at him. It's just an utterly bizarre phenomenon.

But that's subjective. Their fans don't think they're generic and bland and they want more music. And a large portion probably don't know what Jari has done or don't care and just want more Wintersun.
I stopped following them a long ass time ago well before Time I came out so I don't know of what he's pulled recently, I just recall reading their forums and him saying his computer couldn't handle the amount of tracks each song had. Then shit got damaged in a flood or something. I honestly don't care and I never even bothered to listen to Time I despite really enjoying the first album.
I like Wintersun. I am excited for new music from them. Other people share this idea.
Is this not a concept you understand? You even had to go in the nerdy metal thread and spout shit. Who cares if someone likes Amon Amarth and thinks Behemoth is shit?
My opinion is different than yours. I think the bands you like are shit. I am baffled how you like them. Do you care to know that? Probably not.
The world goes on.

And why would I want them?

Gorephilia - Severed Monolith is out today. Crushing fucking Finnish death metal in the savage old school way. Just look at that album cover!
What is it with metal and space these days? Seems like every other band puts out a space themed album. Good shit though.

I saw Lacuna Coil play with POD (not really because I left after Lacuna Coil) back in the day. Maybe start from their and use that as a gateway into heavier and darker stuff like I did?

Hatebreed or Fear Factory I guess
