short for "the obliteration of humanity"

anyways, czechan insanity. they started out more grind on z vyssy vule, went more melodic on pod vladou, but the reason i made this thread (there was one from 05 that didnt seem worth bumping) was that something terrible happened to these guys. they recorded a new album called "rad a trest" or order and punishment, on earache records. they got totally screwed out of the money, they didnt get promoted at all ( i didnt even know this was ever released) and it never made it to the american market

i recently downloaded it however, and its one of the most unique albums of all time. its up there with gorguts obscura in terms of being a total league of its own. imagine melodic death metal harmonized parts, a czechan varg on vocals combined with blast beats and grind parts at times. the new album just takes everything up a new level, but it maintains one awesome thing about them, a sort of rushed studio feel. the guitar tracks arent layered, you can hear the fingers scraping on the strings inbetween riffs...it just sounds like a concert basically

after listening to a full album you start to feel a little jittery and tense

fantastic stuff, check it out

I didnt like it. Too spastic for me, but I guess thats the point?

Edit: I only heard Pod... etc. Is the new one better?

I'll check them out, but why do I think a comparison between their vocals and Varg's is not the thing to get a lot of people on this forum excited?

well im not going to lie about it so more people check them out. "he's the next corpsegrinder!"

all the vocals aren't high though, the new album has a good deal of medium pitched vocals. the new ones better, but its basically just more refined the pod. certainly no genre jump betwee the two


and noted about the czech thing!

one thing i wanted to stress when i made this post was that a potentially heralded and loved album could have completely gotten demolished and lost on account of a shitty label deal. thats a scarey thought, and im sure its happened before. im trying to fight against it, luckily copies did make it out

Glad to see another fan of !T.O.O.H.! I've been listening to "Pod vladou bice" and "rad a trest" alot lately. God to I love the opening to "Aura & ziata".

I've heard the other two albums and to me it seems like they try a little to hard. Czech bands have never really done it for me, but I'll still check this album out. Thanks.

to much bass in my opinion...i hate when you can't hear the other parts of the song because of bass overload...still kind of cool though

wtf? too much bass? theres a loud bass solo on "kali" but there isnt too much bass (instrument) or bass (frequency) ever i dont think

__________________

Forget the stupid Varg comparison, this band is insane everyone. Pod Vladou Bice is a masterpiece (oooh yeah that 'Aura & Ziata' intro, also that first riff in 'My Zreli v Contemplaci') and although I'm yet to hear the new one, it's coming in the mail and I haven't heard a bad thing about it yet. This is one of the most unique sounding bands I have ever heard. And besides that, the artwork on Pod Vladou Bice is straight up the most schizophrenic shit I've seen on an album booklet. Matches the music I guess...

I think I made a TOOH thread here a while ago, and it was ignored. Fools seem to have come to their senses a little.

yeah...maybe its the speakers i have...but bass mugs up stuff sometimes...sometimes good...sometimes bad...so yeah... oh and i meant bass frequency

Sounds like I might have to check these guys out. The only other Czech band I listen to is Lykathea.

I think I've heard them once before, but I don't remember. I'll definitely be checking this out sooner or later.
