By Charles C. White: This past Saturday, in drawing with 39 year old journeyman Charles Davis (now 19-21-3 with 4 kos), former heavyweight title challenger, Monte Two Gunz Barrett showed little of the skills that once carried him to multiple shots at the most coveted title in all of sports; the heavyweight championship of the world. In his fight prior to the draw with Davis, Barrett got another draw, this time a highly controversial draw, against fellow former heavyweight title challenger David Tua.
Most, if not all, thought that Barrett deserved the nod in this fight. Barrett was set to retire, win, lose, or draw after the Tua bout, but things didnt pan out that way in the end, thus the fight with Davis. So what is the case with Barrett in the Tua fight? Did Barrett turn back the clock one last time to effectively dominate a comeback Tua, or is Tua on the slide and fading that quickly? A draw with a journeyman such as Davis doesnt say much for where Barrett is at right now in his career, and the fact that Tua could not quickly dispose of Monte as he was anticipated to do by his fans says a lot about Tua has left as well.. Some would point to Barretts draw with Davis and suggest that Tua deserves even less credit for drawing with Monte as it appears that Monte has seen his best days go by. There is no official word on whether or not David Tua and Monte Barrett are to have a rematch as was mentioned late last year, and one cant help but wonder if Montes latest performance has hurt his chances of securing said rematch. So what are some other options for Tua to consider assuming he gets passed his next challenge in Demetrice King? Lets take a look at the current WBO top 10 and find out.
Sitting atop the rankings in WBO #1 Tomasz Adamek. Adamek is currently booked to fight Wladimir Klitschko later this year, and while he is looking for a tune-up before Wladimir, Tua is not the kind of fighter he is looking for, as there are no similarities between Tuas and Wladimirs styles or physicalitys. Next in line would be #3, Alexander Povetkin. A fight between Tua and Povetkin would be highly unlikely as Povetkin has injured his hand in his last fight against Nicolai Firtha, and besides, Alexanders team seems to be in shambles right now according to some reports. Denis Boytsov, at #4, is also nursing hand injuries, so that rules him out as well. Former heavyweight champion Ruslan Chagaev, currently ranked #5, is in talks with heavyweight champion David Haye to fight for the WBA title, and if he passes the required medical tests, then that fight looks probable.
Undefeated prospect Odlanier Solis, at #6, is slated to face WBC champion Vitali Klitschko later this year, so that rules out a fight with David. #7, Robert Helenius, is still fairly green in his career, but could be one possibility for Tua as both Helenius and his team have matched him up tough so far in his career, indicating great confidence in his abilities. Next in line is WBO #8, Chauncy Welliver. Welliver has been calling Tua out for months now, and would willing take the fight to prove himself as a top 10 contender. Having built up a great fan base in Tuas home of New Zealand, Chauncy has the potential to be a lucrative fight for Tua. The winner would be proclaimed New Zealands top heavyweight, a title that Welliver has sought after for a long time now, as he considers New Zealand to be a second home. Having gone undefeated in his last 10 fights, albeit against limited opposition, Chauncy Welliver has dropped 50 lbs., and gotten behind a new manager in Roland Jankelson and a new trainer in former world title challenger Joe Hipp, and seems to be taking his boxing career very seriously. Desperate to prove himself, Chauncy would most certainly jump at the chance to match Tua and give the fans a fast paced action fight. At #9 there is Derek Chisora, who is to face Wladimir Klitschko on April 30th, so obviously he is ruled out. Last but not least, there is WBO #10 Alexander Dimitrenko, who is already booked to fight Albert Sosnowski, making him unavailable as well.
So really there are only two viable WBO to 10 contenders for Tua to face assuming he does not rematch Monte Barrett; the still green but highly talented prospect Robert Helenius or the crafty veteran of over 50 professional bouts, Chauncy Welliver. While both fights would be good options for Tua, the Welliver bout makes the most territorial and financial sense, thus being the wisest choice for David. Will Tua go through with his rematch with Barrett, or will he take another route and fight a fellow WBO top 10 contender in Helenius or Welliver? We can only wait and see what happens after his bout with the durable Demetrice King.

Lawmakers plan bipartisan push on bill to help agencies offload unnecessary property
Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), are jumpstarting a new effort to get both sides of the Capitol dome on board with a bill to make it easier for agencies to hang the "For Sale" sign outside their doors. Carper, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Chaffetz, a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, hosted a Capitol Hill roundtable with private-sector real-estate experts and former government officials Wednesday to discuss a new legislative path forward.

Biking and Brotherhood.
A 80 years old Lifestyle and Tradition.
41 years in Belgium.
The belgian "Outlaws MC", that already exists independently for 25 years, becomes member of the AOA - at that moment, it is the only chapter in Europe.
Written by Vulture 1%er, Chicago
If you read the papers or listen to the news, the media and law enforcement agents have redefined the term "1%er".
As we all know the term was first used in the 60's to describe some of the people that attended the motorcycle events back then. The AMA (American Motorcycle Association) stated that 99% of the people at their events were god fearing and family oriented. The other 1%er were hard riding, hard partying, non mainstream type people. Thus the term 1%er was born. Some of the early bikers embraced the term and decided to call themselves 1%ers.

In eubacteria, the recA gene has long been recognized as essential for homologous recombination and DNA repair. Recent work has identified recA homologs in archaebacteria and eukaryotes, thus emphasizing the universal role this gene plays in DNA metabolism. We have isolated and characterized two new recA homologs, one from the basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus and the other from the angiosperm Lycopersicon esculentum. Like the RAD51 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Coprinus gene is highly induced by gamma irradiation and during meiosis. Phylogenetic analyses of eukarotic recA homologs reveal a gene duplication early in eukaryotic evolution which gave rise to two putatively monophyletic groups of recA-like genes. One group of 11 characterized genes, designated the rad51 group, is orthologous to the Saccharomyces RAD51 gene and also contains the Coprinus and Lycopersicon genes. The other group of seven genes, designated the dmc1 group, is orthologous to the Saccharomyces DMC1 gene. Sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis reveal extensive lineage- and gene-specific differences in rates of RecA protein evolution. Dmc1 consistently evolves faster than Rad51, and fungal proteins of both types, especially those of Saccharomyces, change rapidly, particularly in comparison to the slowly evolving vertebrate proteins. The Drosophila Rad51 protein has undergone remarkably rapid sequence divergence.

BFG GeForce 6800 OC 256 MB Video Card
I realize this card has been out for quite a while now. I bought mine early last year when they still cost about $400.00 (It was a little more because I bought it at Best Buy.). I have been using it with a 64 bit processor (AMD FX 64) and it has been a delight. I swear that some games I have loaded on the computer look almost lifelike. I had the card only about four months when spots started appearing on the screen so I updated the drivers and it didn't fix the problem. The videoo card was going bad. I ccalled tech support at about three in the morning on a Friday and the techie suggested my drivers weren't current. I explained that I had already updated so he told me to go ahead and package it and send it to their office and it would be repaired/replaced (they didn't even ask to see a receipt). Well, I sent that bad boy overnight on Friday and got its replacement on Mondy with no questions asked. BFG really does stand by their warranty/guarantee. I hope to never deal with anyone else.
Sorry I am pretty late reporting this to you all as the card has been out for quite a while, but I just could not help but brag about BFG's warranty for their equipment.
Re: BFG GeForce 6800 OC 256 MB Video Card
Another happy customer.
So you got a 6800 back? And is yours AGP or PCIe?
Re: BFG GeForce 6800 OC 256 MB Video Card
I have the AGP card. I wish my system utilized the pci-express, but it doesn't. This is a compaq machine made by HP. It started out as a great buy but I have of course upgraded just about everything. The biggest drawbacks are that I can only put up to 2 Gigs of memory on the board and that it is AGP rather than pci-express. But this baby has a 2.4 Gig 64 bit processor and with that BFG vid card it runs super (oh, and by the way I am running Win XP Pro 64 Bit).
When I get time and (lots) more money, I am going to get myself a hot motherboard and go pci-express.
Oh, yeah, BFG sent me a brand new 6800 video card back. Like I said, I sent it overnight to them on Friday from North Carolina and ithe new one came to me on the following Monday evening. It really made me feel like an idiot in a sense because I have more than one computer and rather than using the other one I purchased a Radeon 9550 256Mb AGP card from Wal-Mart expecting it to be weeks before I got my 6800 back. Oh well, a friend of mine had his video go down so I gave him the 9550.

SINGAPORE, LONDON and CHICAGO, Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jones Lang LaSalle (NYSE: JLL) today released its 2012 Sustainability Report, " Moving toward a more sustainable enterprise," which details the company's services, operations and client-focused strategies to achieve long-term sustainable solutions across five sustainability categories: energy and resources; client service excellence; green buildings; community and supply chain; and workplace, well-being and diversity.
" Jones Lang LaSalle has a long history of providing innovative sustainability services for our clients' real estate and our own offices," said Colin Dyer, Jones Lang LaSalle Chief Executive Officer. "We create value for clients, shareholders and employees by focusing on environmental and health and safety issues, and by fostering diversity and community engagement."
The 2012 Sustainability Report outlines practices implemented by Jones Lang LaSalle and its clients, revealing an increased focus to integrate sustainability into all real estate decisions. The report also demonstrates how the firm mirrors the services it provides to clients internally, taking steps to becoming a fully sustainable enterprise. The firm's 2012 highlights include:
- Green buildings: In 2012, JLL's clients achieved 59 green building certifications, including 31 percent to LEED and 26 to Green Globes standards. Our advice enabled improved sustainability performance in nearly 1,350 buildings, a 28 percent increase since 2011. Driving these initiatives were Jones Lang LaSalle's 1,414 LEED accredited professionals; the most experts in any organization.
- Energy and resources: Clients in the firm's United States-managed portfolio achieved emissions reductions equivalent to removing 190,000 cars from the road, resulting in $176 million in savings, up from $105 million in 2011. By implementing energy-savings practices across the globe, clients reduced their GHG emissions by 913,000 metric tons, an increase of 326,000 in one year. The firm itself demonstrated a 4 percent reduction in building GHG emissions per employee from 2011-2012.
- Client service excellence through partnerships: Jones Lang LaSalle seeks high-impact, global partnerships to position itself at the forefront of emerging trends, and to serve as a sustainability-focused connection point to clients. These include:
- Signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, a strategic initiative for global businesses that are committed to aligning practices on shared sustainability values.
- Lead sponsor for the CDP Cities program.
- Joining the International Integrated Reporting Council's Pilot Programme, which is developing a global reporting standard to integrate sustainability into long-term decision-making for businesses.
The report also reinforces Jones Lang LaSalle's commitment to corporate citizenship and responsibility through its ethical business model and through the value it delivers in the global community. The firm's 2012 highlights include:
- Community and supply chain: Recorded charitable contributions of at least USD 3.8 million; employees dedicated at least 1,750 days to volunteering in local communities; and partnered with Ethisphere Institute to develop a survey for more than 8,000 suppliers globally to rate ethical character and quality, ultimately improving supply chain transparency.
- Workplace well-being and diversity: Managed approximately 185 health, well-being and safety initiatives in 2012, nearly 80 more than in 2011; reported 25 percent female representation at the Director-level; and nearly 80 programs dedicated to driving diversity and inclusion across the world.

On May 21, 2010, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published proposed revisions to the rules regarding the identification and management of financial conflicts of interest that apply to institutions that seek or receive Public Health Service (PHS) funding for research. With this notice, the Department intends to revise the regulatory framework governing investigator conflicts of interest, which has been in place since 1995, to respond to the scope and complexity of biomedical research and changes in financial relationships between research institutions and industry sponsors of research. The proposed rule addresses some, but not all, of the issues raised by the Department's May 9, 2009 solicitation of public comments regarding the revision of 42 CFR Part 50, Subpart F, "Responsibility of Applicants for Promoting Objectivity in Research for Which Public Health Service Funding Is Sought" and 45 CFR Part 94, "Responsible Prospective Contractors." Public comments on the proposed rule will be accepted until July 20, 2010.
The proposed revisions contain a number of noteworthy changes to the current regulations, including the following...

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday announced a Rs.125-crore relief for the flood-ravaged Leh from the Prime Minister's Relief Fund.
Dr. Singh, who arrived in Leh on a daylong visit, also announced Rs.1 lakh as ex-gratia for the kin of those who killed and Rs.50,000 for the injured.
Speaking to the victims at a camp, Dr. Singh said the purpose of his visit was to share his pain with the Ladakh people. He would visit the victims again before winter and their homes would be rebuilt within two-and-half months.
The rehabilitation of the affected people, whose houses were completely damaged, would be undertaken jointly by the Centre and State government and the Leh Hill Development Council before winter. The restoration of hospitals and CT scan units, drinking water and electricity supply and road connectivity would be carried out under Un-tied Funds (Un-tied Funds are not earmarked for a specific purpose and can be utilised for any exigency).
Dr. Singh also held a meeting with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and officials.

Keen Eyes, Uncanny Instincts Keep Films In Sharp Focus By Susan Stamberg • Feb 28, 2014 You won't believe it — I didn't — but the person responsible for keeping each and every shot of a movie in focus never looks through a camera lens. "No," says focus puller Baird Steptoe. "We do not look through the camera at all." Steptoe has worked as a first assistant cameraman on films from The Sixth Sense to Thor to last year's Grownups Two. He says he's learned to judge distances — precise distances — with his naked eye alone. "I mean, I can tell you roughly from you to me right now," he says. "I would say about 2-11."

Why Sherlock Holmes Keeps Coming Back By Marcie Sillman & Amina Al-Sadi • Jan 22, 2014 Flickr Photo/samaja One of the most popular characters in literature, stage, film and television started with a struggling doctor trying to put food on the table. In 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, selling stories to magazines and papers as a side profession, introduced a detective and doctor duo in "The Mystery of Uncle Jeremy's Household" – a prototype that would later become the ubiquitous Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in "A Study in Scarlet" and an entire canon that followed.

Fluke Networks Introduces Gigabit Distributed Vision Suite for Complete Visibility in Gigabit Ethernet Networks.
EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 2000
Comprehensive Line of Monitoring and Analysis Solutions
Integrates Support for 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet
Fluke Networks, a subsidiary of Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR) and the leading provider of innovative Network SuperVision Solutions(TM) for insuring reliable data communications and Internet uptime, today announced its Gigabit Distributed Vision Suite (GDVS), an integrated hardware and software solution for the capture and analysis of packet and performance data.
"Now customers can gain visibility of their most critical high-speed links with the Gigabit Distributed Vision Suite's hardware/software combination of monitoring, analysis, and reporting capabilities," said Mark Mullins, marketing manager for the Enterprise Networks Group at Fluke Networks. "Since stand-alone software analysis products with a standard NIC and PC are unable to keep pace with Gigabit Ethernet loads, Fluke Networks integrates high performance hardware options with software analysis solutions for optimum performance."
Fluke Networks Gigabit Distributed Vision Suite integrates two Windows-based software packages, Protocol Inspector Version 3.0 and Network Inspector Version 4.1, and distributed hardware analyzers together to maximize the users' effectiveness in locating and correcting tough network problems at 10/100 Mbps or Gigabit speeds. A unique component of GDVS is the Network Inspector software module, which automatically performs network device discovery and trending of port level traffic on switches and routers without the expense of outfitting each port. Results can be integrated into reports that may be printed, published to web pages, or passed to Microsoft Visio 2000 for network diagramming.
The new hardware analyzers from Fluke Networks feature full duplex, full-line-rate, 10/100 Ethernet and new Gigabit versions in self-contained rack-mounted units. A supplied in-line tap allows non-intrusive monitoring on fiber or copper links, eliminating the need to break and re-enable network connections each time a network segment is analyzed.
Complete solutions for Gigabit Ethernet
In addition to the new line of GDVS rack-mountable units, Fluke Networks offers a portable Gigabit analyzer. The OptiView Integrated Network Analyzer leverages the investment of GDVS by collecting data from and providing information to the system. Whether carried as a portable device or placed semi-permanently on a network link, OptiView can view traffic throughout the network from a single location using its built-in RMON II agent.
Pricing and availability
Fluke Networks Gigabit Distributed Vision Suite is available now and can be purchased from Fluke Networks sales channel partners worldwide. The price for the Gigabit Distributed Vision Suite is $32,100 (U.S. list). The OptiView Integrated Network Analyzer with a field changeable Gigabit Ethernet Interface (GBIC) is priced at $22,995. All prices are U.S. list.

A movie directed by Seiji Mizushima
The action anime series FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST explores epic themes of hubris, personal transformation, and spiritual quests through the tragic story of two grievously wounded siblings. While attempting to resurrect their dead mother through the forbidden … see full wiki
It would seem were about a third of the way done with Fullmetal Alchemist. If you didnt start from the beginning, you, uh, really should. Watching them out of order doesnt quite work. There are too many connections you need to be aware of in order to understand everything thats going on and who everyone is, what theyre doing, etc. etc.
There are 51 episodes, and with about 4 episodes per volume that brings us to roughly 12 (probably 13) volumes in total. Huzzah.
Edward and Alphonse Elric are young boys (Ed: 15, Al: 14) who are searching for the Philosophers Stone. Because of a failed human transmutation, theyve lost much when it comes to their bodies. Alchemy requires the law of equivalent exchange, but with the stone, they can bypass the laws and hopefully regain what theyve lost. The only way to gain information about the elusive Philosophers Stone is to read everything and search everywhere possible, and now that Ed is a State Alchemist, complete with watch and new name of Full Metal (hence the name of the series), they have the freedom to do what they need. But along the way, theyre bound to come across some interesting adventures.
Episode 13: Well, Ed and Al are finally back from their travels, once again in Central City. Its time to face up to Colonel Mustang, aka the Flame Alchemist, and explain all the fake Philosophers Stones. What a chore. And what is with all this military nonsense and cover-ups? It almost sounds like there is something wrong in Central City. And Colonel Mustang is a lot weirder than I thought.
Episode 14: Remember Lior? The place Ed and Al thought they managed to save from the clutches of the corrupt Cornello? If you remember, it didnt quite work. We finally get to see whos been impersonating him, and the results of it arent pretty. On top of that, someone is killing State Alchemists. Messy and a big problem.
Episode 15: What exactly is the story behind the war in a place called Ishbal? What did Dr. Marco do to make him not mind dying? Who is Scar really, and what happened to him to make him like that? Some answers we can guess, others we must be told.
Episode 16: The plot thickens. Ed and Al need repairs, they finally might have a decent lead on how to get their hands on the Philosophers Stone, Scar is roaming free still bent on killing, and Lust and Gluttony, well, we still dont know what theyre up to, but its obviously no good. However, its only natural our little alchemists train ride go wrong somehow.
The Test Results Are In!
That puppy in #13 was the cutest puppy ever! Ok, well not ever, but it was pretty dang cute. I initially wondered what the purpose of that episode was, though my guess was because all the episodes before it were rather serious (not without comic relief), so perhaps it was just a bit of fun to lighten the mood. After #15 I decided that was probably the reason. I love Hughes, by the way that guy cracks me up. Im starting to get impatient with the whole Lust and Gluttony lurking around its obvious what they want, and I can make some guesses as to what they have planned, but I want to see them in more action. Ah, I guess Ill just have to wait.
Animation? Despite my early quirks with the style, Im accustomed to it now. Im always amused when Ed gets mad at people calling him short and his character gets exaggerated, or the same for Al when he gets that really simple look on his face. You really have to see it to understand what I mean, but its hard to miss once you do. Theres a lot of variety and all the different transmutation circles and such are pretty cool. Each alchemist has his or her special technique to get things done, along with some varied results that are interesting to watch.
Voices I prefer the English version. When it comes to the English voice actors (VAs), though it took me a while to get used to Ed and Al, I enjoy them now. All the other characters work out rather well, so I dont really have any complaints here at all anymore. As for the Japanese version, its taken me this long to finally ignore the female VA aspect completely. I just let myself go into the characters and forget about the rest, though there are still some times when I remember and have to put that fact out of my mind again. Everyone else though, just like in the English version, works well, and I have no qualms about them.
Though like every other anime series, theres the opening and closing songs, and finally here at #14 we have the opening that Im familiar with on TV. Yay! I like it a lot more because its fast, and upbeat and just a lot of fun to listen to. The closing song has changed as well and I like it too. It works out pretty well and I think they chose a good episode to switch at. The instrumental background music for the show is still pleasing and I think its going to stay that way for the whole series.
Mmm, things seem to be getting more serious, fyi parents. War is breaking out and we all know war isnt all flowers and candy. Gluttony is pretty creepy with what he does, and even if we dont see anything, we certainly hear some disturbing sounds that match.

Motorcycle Jumper Cables
I've seen several references here about "jumper cables" to be carried on your bike during a long ride. It's a good idea, I think. I've already been in one situation where jumper cables would have come in handy.
But... what constitutes jumper cables? Surely y'all aren't carrying regular automotive cables. I can imagine a short length of good thick wire would be sufficient (and pack relatively small), but what about the ends? How do you connect it to the batteries?
Does anyone have any pictures or instructions on how to make good, durable, and reliable motorcycle jumper cables? I've done a search, but all I come up with is people saying, "Make sure you bring jumper cables" and no description thereof.
I bought these
but I'm sure they could be made easily.
The current required would probably be too much for most accessory pigtails/plugs, in case you were thinking of using those to hook them up.
It don't take much. I made mine out of 4 gauge zip cord about 10' long. I used some color coded clips on both ends big enough to clip to a car battery.
Got these from a local auto parts (O'Reilly). Packs pretty small too. Fortunately I've never had to use them.
I made up a set from 10ga silicone jacketed wire. There is a pigtail coming directly off the battery and connects with 40 amp Sermos connectors. When I don't need the jumper cables the pigtail powers my auxillary fuse block. All parts came from McMaster Carr. The silicone jacket is good in case you overheat them, it will not melt.
It's a good idea to solder the connection to the clips instead of depending on the cheesy crimp that will promote high resitance in the connection.
I've jumped by buddies R80G/S a number of times from complete dead with no problems.
I have these and have USED them. I won't travel without em.
Like tbirdsp said, it probably won't handle the amperage. Most of those connectors are only good for 10-15 amps mabye 20 at the most.
Aerostich has jumper cables on sale for $12. They're 10-gauge wire.
I just made my own out of some 10-gauge wire I had lying around, soldered to the alligator clips from the pigtails that come with those motorcyle Battery tenders.
Pennytech Jumper Cables
This ought to cost you all of $7 or $8:
Go to Home Depot and get 8 feet of 12 or 14 gauge (two lead) Low Voltage Lighting Cable from the spool in the Electric Wire Section. This is the stuff that's used for low voltage yard lights. It's very flexible. That's gonna cost you about $0.35/foot. Don't get the pre-packaged stuff, get it off the spool.
Next stop is at Wal-Mart to pick up two sets of small battery charger clamps from the Tire Section --where they sell battery terminals. That'll cost you another $1.88 per set.
Take everything home, split the wires back about 6 inches on both ends & solder the terminals to the appropriate ends of the wire, being sure to observe polarity.
If you've got any heat shrink tubing on hand you can slip some over the ends of the wires before attaching the terminals. That will stop the wires from separating further.
Remember, it's a jumper cable, not a starting cable. It's not gonna work if you try to start a car with it.
Thanks for all the tips, guys. It looks like I'll just find some good thick wire and some clips and make my own. The commercial cables look good, but none of them look very compact. I want to be able to pack mine in with my toolkit.
Now... where can I get some good quality clips? :deal
Jumper Cables
Check here.....$10.00
Jumper Cables, why?
Look I wouldn't risk the Damage to my Bm electronics by Sparking Jumper Cables? Ampage is it the same between different bikes? Its never going to go if you Fry that! I'd just Push start. I've pushed a Goldwing my Race Bike.... some carry so much not needed stuff ? Jim. :ear ?

Death Magic Doom has all the defining facets of a good doom record. This album features vocalist Robert Lowe from Solitude Aeturnus during his six year reign as front man for Candlemass. This is the only album I've heard from him on Candlemass but have heard some of his work from Solitude. I consider his style to be reminiscent of Ronnie James Dio which is definitely not a bad thing! Word pronunciation is concise and vocal range is expansive. His level of "cheesiness" is on par for the image this band portrays. This is the first Candlemass album I ever purchased on vinyl and ever listened to so I had no prior knowledge of their sound or the band's history.
Picking up the LP, the artwork is simple but compelling. Interesting texture choice and it definitely gives off an evil, intriguing vibe. In regards to the writing, the lyrics are fairly typical for a doom album but well written just the same. Mostly religious and dark fantasy from the tracks and they all seem to mesh appropriately. The instruments are where this album really shines for me. Guitar riffs are top notch and evil sounding and the natural drum tone is pretty awesome. Nothing real crazy on guitar solos but what do you expect from a doom album? Simplicity is key sometimes and the solos are very well written and do exactly what they should do for the mood they want to portray on these tracks. Don't really hear that many distinct bass lines going on but the music does seem balanced. Intricate bass lines are another trait that most doom albums don't possess.
Robert Lowe's vocals are fitting for the music style and lyricism from Leif Edling. I listened to some of the band's previous records while diving into this review and it seems he was a perfect fit for their direction. I noticed that Lowe's current stomping grounds are about twenty miles from my home! Anyway, Lowe does a good job of putting out that evil, thick vibe to the tracks on this album. All of his range is executed well and he creates some seriously chilling moments in some breaks and bridges! For the production and quality of recording, I have nothing negative to say. All the tracks sound clear and polished. This isn't the band's first rodeo so I'm sure they have tracking and quality down by now.
One of the many reasons I listen to metal is to unwind and relieve some stress. This album does that by creating heavy, dark emotions with the combination of lyrics, music, vocals. The term "epic doom metal" makes so much sense after listening to this record. "Hammer of Doom" ended up being my favorite due to how heavy some of the guitar riffs were! The only con I can give this LP is "Dead Angel". Like I said before, the lyrics pair really well but for some reason this song sticks out like a sore thumb music wise. Doom fans rejoice because this is a record you should definitely pick up! Non-doom fans: I recommend you give this one a shot and tell me this won't make you a fan!
I must say, I expected nothing from this album to be honest. I had never listened to Candlemass before, only heard their name. But I do enjoy doom metal, so I decided to pick up their latest release to see what the fuss was all about. I expected slow, depressive music, like for example Reverend Bizarre, and to a certain extent I kind of got it, but I also got a kind of modern speed/powermetal, especially from Robert.
The overall sound of the instruments on the album is that of thickness and power. We're not talking BLS or Crowbar here, but a kind of distorted sound common to the genre. And Robert Lowe's voice shows many different sides in the songs on the album. It can go from lurking, sly and evil to the more theatric high-pitch of speed/powermetal (think a more downtuned Bruce Dickinson).
Leif's bass adds the power needed to really give the distorted guitars of Lars and Mappe a big boost. This combination of distortion and power works very well both in the faster and slower songs. The structure of the riffing is not too complicated, sometimes erupting into pretty groovy parts, and in the midst of all the rawness comes several solos to fulfill the songs.
However, sometimes it feels like Jan's drumming get's lost in all the heaviness. It's constantly there, but sometimes seem to drown in the powerfull guitarwork. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, since it makes you focus on the power of the songs, which in itself pulls the music forwards on it's own.
As for the lyrics, they mostly deal with evil, horror and madness. Not overly poetic (the kind of lyrics I usually prefer), instead it feels like Robert is telling you a story with every song, a good story too I might add. The verses are usually sung with that whispering, evil voice of his, while during the climax he usually changes it to his more high-pitched voice, surely inspired by King Diamond, Michael Kiske and the likes. Both voices work very well, and fits the albums image perfectly.
My favorite songs on the album must be "Demon of the Deep", a slow paced song with lyrics that no doubt should make you think of Cthulhu, if you're familiar with Lovecraft's mythical sea creature, and "House of 1000 Voices", a twisted tale about ghost children in a burnt down orphanage.
Overall, this is a modern doom metal album with good production value, heavy distortion and excellent singing and good storytelling lyrics.
Candlemass return for their 2nd album with new vocalist Robert Lowe (Solitude Aeturnus), a rocking out affair with a number of faster paced songs, yet still cogent of their strength for resounding, slower gothic crush. Perhaps it's the vocals, or the songwriting, or both, but I was left less than inspired by this record. In fact it's probably the worst Candlemass album since the mediocre Chapter VI. Boring enough that a second and third listen were increasingly difficult, as any errant distraction (a fly buzzing past, or a car) could instantly pull me away.
Robert Lowe does not have a bad voice, it's sharp and crisp, and certainly he has the repertoir and qualifications for this duty. But his voice is just...so plain for this band, lacking the powerful operatic theatrics of Messiah or even the chagrin of Björn Flodkvist. He can hit all the necessary notes but I just don't feel any power here; crucial for effective doom to mine ears. He's not helped by the songs, the faster tracks like "If I Ever Die" and "Dead Angel" are forgettable, and it's only on a few of the slower tracks that I felt my attention span increase. The strings in "The Bleeding Baroness" are nice. "Demon of the Deep" is a pretty good track overall which recalls the old days and feel of Epicus Doomicus Metallicus. "Clouds of Dementia" is another of the better offerings, a crushing lament.
Death Magic Doom isn't bad, it's just not up to snuff with the band's past works. I actually quite enjoyed King of the Grey Islands, even with Lowe singing, so this is somewhat of a disappointment. It's unlikely the band could manifest another Nightfall or Ancient Dreams, but I shall continue to mourn for those days.
Candlemass are a band who have perfected their image; from the engraved-looking cover to the fatalistic self-immortalization of 'If I Ever Die', everything bleeds Baroque but cool. Being 25 years old, and having enjoyed a loyal following throughout vocalist changes and a hiatus, they have certainly earned a sense of self-assuredness.
While Candlemass could confidently trudge forward with another King Of The Grey Islands, Death Magic Doom sees the band, admirably, pushing themselves creatively even after so many years. The opener 'If I Ever Die' is a natural sequel to the crushing 'Lucifer Rising' from last year's EP, twinning urgent riffing with unmistakable groove. Lowe's howls of "If I ever die/ the stars will fall from the sky/ the gods will mourn me and cry" are suggestive of the band's own cocksure immortality. As if to reinforce their own imperturbed steadfastness, Candlemass then execute a slow, crawling Doom metal song as if the '90s never happened. When the guitars begin their menacing, quiet strum in the verse section you almost expect Lowe to start singing "What is this that stands before me?..."
Candlemass continue referencing both their past and present with 'The Bleeding Baroness', which sounds like a Gothic rewrite of 'Solitude.' The vocal lines are memorable enough, but by far the best Doom to be had is the album's centrepiece, 'House Of Thousand Voices.' The song sits amongst all the time-travelling as a sturdy offering of ageless Doom, Johansson trading in his purring drone from other slower tracks for catchy, coruscating riffs very likely to embed themselves in your head. An absolute highlight, which combines the spirit of the '80s with the aesthetics of the present day even better than owning an iPhone but never washing your jeans and wearing a poodle haircut.
With Candlemass having covered all bases so thoroughlyin the first three tracks of the album, the remaining songs (other than 'House Of Thousand Voices') inevitably suffer from diminishing returns. Although there are some nice ideas going on in 'Demon Of The Deep', the meandering guitar arrangements and Lowe's proggy vocal section toward the end serve to further disjoint an already eclectic collection of songs. Although it starts with a promising riff, 'Dead Angel' is let down by a weak performance by Jan Lindh on drums and Lowe's chorus, which sounds far too clean amongst his performances elsewhere. Credit is due the band for doing their best to avoid repeating themselves, but there is a thin line between experimentation and leaving some tracks feeling unfinished.
As a second album with Robert Lowe, Death Magic Doom represents a solid continuation for the band. There are a couple of songwriting slip-ups, but they are done with the best intentions, and the band themselves are sounding impeccable. It still crushes My Dying Bride's effort this year, and bodes well for the future of the Lowe-Edling partnership.
So, right, its taken me a bit of time to think how to write this review of Candlemass' new album, "Death Magic Doom", album no.10 for a band that has come and gone over their long career. One is not allowed to label themselves a fan of doom without at least admiration towards the Swedes early back catalogue, which for me is not a problem as I LOVE their first four albums, but listening to their three albums this decade since reformation has always tended to leave me a bit cold. Why is that?
"Death Magic Doom" represents the second album featuring Robert Lowe's (Solitude Aeturnus) pipes, who as expected has proven to be an admirable replacement for Messiah Marcolin, and another point on the board of why C-mass are the kings of epic doom metal. However for me, that reputation was made in the 80's and has hardly been topped up since. You see my problem is that I miss their 80's sound, their 80's song structure and I whisper this quietly, Messiah. Lowe, and Solitude Aeturnus, are brilliant, make no mistakes, but whether through production or the quality of the riffs and songs themselves recent Candlemass material too often feels stagnant and blunted and an example of where better technology does not equal better sound. Many songs ended up feeling quite samey through the lack of clarity that defined some truly brilliant albums many years ago. Yes yes I should probably wake up and smell the date but can anyone really argue with me that the sound of "Death Magic Doom" or 2007's "King Of The Grey Islands" is more emotional and interesting than "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" (1986) or "Nightfall" (1987)?
The fact that, excluding the vocal department, the band's three 21st Century albums don't really seem to have evolved doesn't aid my appreciation of them, however this is still Candlemass, and Leif Edling, Mr. Doom if ever there was one. "Death Magic Doom" for all my qualms still has some bitching (did I just say that?) songs. "If I Ever Die" is an uptempo start before the first signs of crushing doom emerge in the appropriately titled "Hammer of Doom", one of those that would most fit an early Candlemass classic due to it's morose downtrodden nature. From here the speed jostles contentedly between crushing doom, mid-paced interludes, and as is their nature these days, a fair amount of faster bounding moments too. Not my favourite those, but their effect is clear: they add a distinct amount of groove that certainly works better live. "Demon Of The Deep", through it's incorporation of subtle organ/keyboard work produces the best individual moment of the album, and where Lowe's vocals shine through the strongest, in a similar way to the 'angelic' voices in "House Of 1000 Voices".
Overall, you'll see I have mixed feelings about this release. There are some great moments and it stands up strongly against other recent albums in the doom field but I am realising my wish for 'classic' Candlemass will remain just a wish, and probably for the best too. Leif Edling will always know how to write great doom and really I should not question him, so enjoy this work of great 21st Century doom yourself. <
Originally written for Rockfreaks.net
Before this album came out, it was announced by bassist Leif Edling that this would be the band's best album since the classic "Nightfall." Given that I'm a big fan of Candlemass's 2005 self-titled album; I took that statement with a grain of salt. While this is not on the same level of the band's stuff with Messiah Marcolin, it's definitely a great album and demonstrates the continuing success of the band's new life with vocalist Robert Lowe.
In terms of the songwriting and musical style, this album appropriately picks up where 2007's "King of the Grey Islands" left off and expands upon the elements that helped make that album successful. The band as a unit seems to be more focused in its delivery, the various guitar riffs manage to keep all of the tempo changes interesting, the bass manages to stand out nicely on some spots and even gets a little solo during "House of 1000 Voices," and Lowe sounds a little more comfortable this time around as his delivery ranges from quiet segments to desperate howls and wails. In fact, it's pretty safe to say that this is different than anything on "Nightfall" and sounds unlike anything else that the band has ever released.
I also must say that I particularly enjoy the lyrics on this album. While the lyrics on "King of the Grey Islands" offered several interesting interpretations and a mysterious overall storyline, the lyrics on "Death Magic Doom" benefit from some interesting subject matter and a lack of the swearing that seemed to pop up on the band's last few albums (Not that I'm some kind of Tipper Gore fanatic, "fuck" and "shit" just aren't creative words...). Highlights include the all-out depression of the awesomely titled "Hammer Of Doom" (Too bad they couldn't use it for the album's title. The one they went with is somewhat awkward…), the Lovecraftian themes on "Demon of the Deep," and the intriguing ghost story that appears on "House of 1000 Voices."
While this is shaping up to be one of my favorite albums of 2009, I do admit that this album has its share of flaws. The music may be pretty unique as a while, but there are a few derivative moments here and there. The main riff on "House of 1000 Voices" bares a vague resemblance to the beloved "Bewitched" and the last two tracks remind one of the mid-tempo tracks on "KOTGI" such as "Of Stars and Smoke." Speaking of mid-tempo, I also find that the band's approach seems to work the best when they stick to slower tempos. "If I Ever Die" is a pretty solid song, but its faster tempo does make it a strange opener and somewhat out of place when compared to the album's other tracks. "Hammer Of Doom" probably would've been a more fitting introduction…
All in all, this is a strong album that shows a further evolution in Candlemass' sound. Recommended to doom metal fans everywhere!
1) The bands sounds more comfortable this time around
2) The songwriting is improved when compared to the last album
3) The lyrics are pretty cool
1) A few derivative moments
2) "If I Ever Die" does sound out of place, even if it is a good song
My Current Favorites:
"Hammer of Doom," "The Bleeding Baroness," "Demon of the Deep," "House of 1000 Voices," and "Dead Angel"
Candlemass. The name should be enough to explain how incredibly important this band has made on the doom metal genre. Sure, Trouble came out with Psalm 9 two years prior to Candlemass releasing Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, however no band outside of Iommi and friends have made a greater impact on doom metal. Leif Edling, the mastermind behind the band, has cemented himself over and over again as one of the greatest songwriters in heavy metal. Present in every lineup, he has been able to take whoever is around him and churn out some high quality doom metal.
An now we have Death Magic Doom, the third album since the reunion of the original lineup and the second with new doom drone Robert Lowe manning the vocals. King of the Grey Islands was a very good record, however Leif and the gang have really turned it up a notch with DMD. With Lowe being cemented as the long term replacement for the departed Messiah Marcolin, Leif was free to go outside of the box more, overcoming KOTGI's one flaw: lack of Candlemass' typical doomy experimentation. With classics such as "Solitude", "Under the Oak", and "At the Gallows End" gracing the Candlemass back catalogue, KOTGI just seemed a little stale after a few listens.
DMD has solved that problem, kicking off with the speedy (yes, speedy) "If I Ever Die". Lowe really steals the show on this song, letting us know that Candlemass without Messiah is just as good as ever. The opening riff is an instant classic, one that has been stuck in my head almost continuously since I heard it. The obvious middle break in the song is followed by an absolutely fantastic lead courtesy of Mr. Lars Johansson. If I Ever Die is followed by the aptly titled "Hammer of Doom", which plods along at a slow and plodding pace typical of Candlemass
Then comes the album's other instant classic, "The Bleeding Baroness". This is it, this is the pinnacle of 21st century doom metal. As much as I lauded "If I Ever Die", this takes it out back and lays it to rest. "The Bleeding Baroness" starts out with the standard Candlemass Depression, then kicks it up a notch until the chorus begins. This is the best Candlemass chorus I have heard since "Samarithan". Doomtastic, the best track on the album, no doubt.
"House of A Thousand Vultures" and "My Funeral Dreams" are the best of the rest, both of which harkens back to the days of Candlemass old. Both could have easily been included in any of the first four albums without feeling out of place. The other four tracks, while good tracks, aren't anything to write home about. Pretty standard Candlemass fare.
The production on the album is absolutely fantastic, as depressing and doomified (sp?) as anything I've heard in a long time. The guitars have a nice crunch to them, while the bass is audible, though definitely runs along with the guitars in many places. The drums are a little buried, but the playing is tight and everything we have become accustomed to courtesy of Mr. Lindh. Lowe's vocals do exactly what doom metal vocals are meant to do: soar above everything and add that extra element which makes everything so depressingly catchy, whatever that means.
Death Magic Doom is without a doubt the best thing that Candlemass has released since Tales of Creation, and well worth picking up. Leif has done it again, but his contribution was never in doubt.
I have to admit, I didn't think that Candlemass could come close to matching the magic of Epicus Doomicus Metallicus or Nightfall, but with King of the Grey Islands and Death Magic Doom, they have a sort of new life as a band. Getting Rob Lowe from Solitude Aeturnus to replace Messiah Marcolin was a great move. Rob sounds even more at ease on Death Magic Doom than he did on King of the Grey Islands, and his voice is utilized more fully on the album. They basically took all the good stuff from the previous album and improved upon it. Not only that, but the guitar and drum sound (and really, the overall sound) isn't compressed as it was for both King of the Grey Islands and the Lucifer Rising EP.
I have to admit, I was not a big fan of the Lucifer Rising EP. The two new tracks were okay, but I felt like they could've easily been leftovers from King of the Grey Islands (that didn't make the cut). But Death Magic Doom is a masterpiece of doom. I only have a few bones to pick with the album, so I may as well get them out of the way. The only really big one is on the first track, "If I Ever Die". The only part of this song I don't like is how it builds and builds, then all of the band quits playing towards the middle and Rob Lowe sings a vocal line over the silence. He sings it fine, it's just that after all that building, I think it kind of fell flat there. I'm not sure I like it as the album opener, either, but I am at a loss for where to place it in amongst the rest of the album. Anyway, the other bone I have to pick with the album is that, as far as I can tell, Lief Edling is a bit buried in the mix! I like to hear the bass mixed in a little higher in doom metal; it adds a lot to the music.
"Hammer of Doom" is a classic track because it starts out as quintessential doom, and then it has the tempo change like we've seen from Black Sabbath's tracks Heaven & Hell or their self-titled track from the first album. "The Bleeding Baroness" and "House of 1000 Voices" are my favorites from the album, namely for both of their amazing chorus lines. Especially on the latter song, where Rob Lowe's voice just sounds haunting and the guitar part is nothing short of fantastic. And Lars Johansson's soloing on the latter track is probably my favorite of his ever. I really hope they play these three tracks live on any upcoming tours they do, along with "My Funeral Dreams", which is the album closer – a strong closer with yet another great chorus part right in the middle of the song.
That being said, "Clouds of Dementia", "Dead Angel", and "Demon of the Deep" are all okay, but they aren't as memorable as the other tracks I have discussed here. The drumming is good, as usual, and the whole band delivers, but I'd say that Lars and Lowe put in the extra effort that put this album over the top (I'm sure Lief did too, as I am positive he has a heavy hand in the songwriting process). The lyrics are pretty good too, with Rob Lowe continuing his melancholy, saddening style that was earlier seen on Solitude Aeturnus – Alone (though nowhere near as dark as that album, IMO). He must be one of the greatest voices in doom metal, if not metal in general.
Definitely pick this one up. Even if you didn't like King of the Grey Islands, I encourage you to give this one a shot. And if you liked King of the Grey Islands, then I am sure you're going to love this one! I'm just sad that I wasn't able to get my hands on the special edition with the bonus track "Lucifer Rising" and the 25 minute DVD of footage about their studio work and last tour; I have no doubt that it would have been exciting. Anyway, this is a release not to miss out on, fellow doomsters. This one sets the bar very high for any new epic doom metal to come. Doom on.
"I saw the execution of my tomorrow, saw it and bowed
in the theater of hellfire; the inferno is now.
I am lost again. I lean against the purgatory gates.
To ease my suffering, you're offering to unlock my fate."
From the snowscapes of Sweden, the legendary Candlemass are back with a vengeance. With little expectation, the masters of Doom Metal have unleashed a monolithic opus worthy of the title "Death Magic Doom" (perhaps a gibe at Metallica's "Death Magnetic").
The opening hymn "If I Ever Die" launches abruptly into the band's newer, more aggressive style characteristic of their eponymous 2003 rebirth. The instantly memorable first riff sets a higher standard, maintained all the way to the album's conclusion. Despite their doomy classification, Candlemass aren't afraid to pick up the pace. This creates dynamic contrasts that diversify the album's moods. Such creative energy combined with a thick and crushing production creates a relentless showcase welcome to the modern listener. Gone are the atmosphere and reverbed-to-the-max snare drums of "Nightfall." But this departure doesn't mean they've forgotten their roots and their diehard fans.
This change is most evident in the vocal department. Rob Lowe has at last settled into his new role, matching the music's more abrasive approach. Messiah Marcolin's operatics better suited the epic style of the 80's albums, but seemed out of place on the self-titled album. Lowe, on the other hand, never overpowers the instruments, finding his place within the music rather than in counterpoint to it. Still, he sings his heart out, running the gamut of emotions, from sadness to hatred to malevolence. Though an objectively weaker vocalist, he sounds more human.
And Lowe isn't the only musician who gives it his all. Jan Lindh's drumwork is marvelous, ranging from triumphal marches, to rocking grooves to, well, downright doominess! Even after 25 years, Leif Edling perfects the art of the guitar riff from the bass on up. The Dantean lyrical themes, demonstrated at this review's opening, are nothing original, but appropriate for a band whose works are as timeless (to a true Metal fan) as the Divine Comedy itself.
And that leads us to songwriting. "Death Magic Doom" shines brightest in its choruses, where the time shifts and the anthems ring. This is most apparent in "The Bleeding Baroness" and especially "Dead Angel," where Lowe, at a haunting pitch, is in dialogue with the lead guitar. One of Candlemass' classic strengths is the subtle use of synths and samples, here with the hellish bells chiming in the crusher "Hammer of Doom." All these unique qualities aside, this is a Heavy Metal tour de force.
With this release, their best since 1989's "Tales of Creation," the rebirth of Candlemass has reached its triumphant climax, reasserting the band's place at the pinnacle of Doom Metal and, in the shadow of Black Sabbath, one of the greatest Metal bands of all time.
A few years back, when I first heard that Robert Lowe of Solitude Aeturnus would be taking over the vocals duties in Candlemass following Messiah's departure, I was ecstatic. Don't get me wrong, I love Messiah's vocals, but Lowe easily has him beat in my eyes. So I picked up their first release with Lowe, "King of the Grey Islands", with great expectations. And those expectations were met and exceeded.
And here we are, two years later, and we have a new Candlemass album, the second with Robert handling the vocals. I had been waiting to hear this album ever since I first heard the song samples a few months back. Those were fantastic, and so I had the same hopes for the album in it's entirety. And those hopes were not in vain, as this CD slays.
Opening with another faster somg. "If I Ever Die", the album kicks into gear with the riffs and melodies that you've come to expect from Candlemass. Lowe's vocals soar over the guitars, sounding more organic here than on the previous album. After that first song, the rest of the album is pretty much straight forward doom that Candlemass know how to do. "Hammer of Doom" is a slow, brooding number, reminiscent of Sabbath's self-titled track, getting a bit more up-tempo near the end. "Demon of the Deep" opens softly, telling a story about a kind of sea creature at the depths of the ocean, before escalating the tempo at the end to make a fantastic finish. One of the album's main highlights, "House of a Thousand Voices" lumbers away for a good seven to eight minutes, and wouldn't sound out of place on perhaps "Nightfall" or "Ancient Dreams". "Dead Angel" is a good song, but doesn't quite live up to those that came before it (it is catchy as hell, though). And "Clouds of Dementia" and "My Funeral Dreams finish up the album, the latter not quite reaching the epicness of "Embracing the Styx", but still a fantastic song in it's own right.
The guitars sound as good as ever, the songwriting is inspired, and the lyrics reek of doom. What more could you ask for? Buy this album immediately.
Sweden's heavy artillery called Candlemass is here again to deliver some Death, Magic, and some pure Doom metal. The second with the fantastic singer Robert Lowe! The bandleader, bassist and songwriter Leif Edling has stated that this is "the best Candlemass album since Nightfall". A brave statement, and in my opinion not a statement that is spelled reality, but the fact still remains though that "Death Magic Doom" is a fantastic album. Exactly as expected on beforehand, they are continuing to swing the hammer of doom with ease.
Let me first just make it clear that the band is in top form, great performances all over! The heavy, hauling riffs from guitarist Mappe Björkman are lining up one after another, the shrieking guitarsolos from Lasse Johansson, the "Demon of the deep"-bassplayer, Leif does a solid work in the groundwork with his bass, and drummer Jan plays with great feeling as usual. On top of all this, we have the brightest star shining on this album, the before mentioned singer Robert Lowe! He did already on 2007's "King of the Grey Islands" show that he was the absolutely right choice to take over after Messiah. I did then say that Robert is the best vocalist that have ever sung in this band. On this album, Robert is making it even more concrete. He can do so much with his voice, and still fit in perfectly with the music so frighteningly good. He's singing with much variation, in all these variating songs and tempos, and is adding a spooky feeling in general to the whole album. One of his best works in his career!
But why isn't this the best album since "Nightfall", then? Everything seems to be in order, right? No, because sadly...this album contains one bad song. Yes, that's actually true! It is titled "Dead Angel". Sadly, that song is the worst song this band has done since at least the reunion, and I was surprised that Leif could write such a bad song nowadays. Fast, grinding verses (for being C-mass) that really doesn't do anything, and a very melodic chorus with some cheese threwn in. This song is very diverse from the other ones on the album, and for being Candlemass too at all. It is the "ugly duckling" of the bunch...so it's not a successful experiment from Leif. But except for that lowdown, at least 6 other doom-gems are delivered. "House of 1000 Voices" with it's awesome creepy atmosphere, chorus and the album's best guitar solo is also the best track on here. Almost 8 minutes of perfection. The variating and strong-chorused "The Bleeding Baroness", the sinister "Demon of The Deep", the slow and heavy as hell "Hammer of Doom", the uptempo starter "If I Ever Die" with it's great riffs and melodies, and the ending doom & gloom-song "My Funeral Dreams" are all awesome ones too. "Clouds of Dementia" is also a good one, but slightly weaker than the greater bunch.
The production is better than the hugely compressed sound of the last C-mass album, even if this one is also a bit compressed. But especially the drums sounds a lot better on here. The guitars also have a rawer and heavier sound, which makes it more pleasant to listen to this album production/sound-wise. But:
Despite that, the production, "Death Magic Doom" doesn't really reach the same height as it's dark predecessor (and their best album since the re-union), "King of the Grey Islands". This album is not far away, but the song "Dead Angel" crushes the big picture a bit. But as i've said, this is still a awesome record, and has a strong chance to be the best album of 2009.
3 best songs: "House of 1000 Voices" - "The Bleeding Baroness" - "Hammer of Doom"

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
When you are injured on the job, the workers compensation claim that arises will be filed against both your employer and an insurance company. This is why, by the way, that I frequently refer to the "employer/insurer" on this blog and on my web site.
As a worker, your dealings are obviously with your employer – your direct supervisor, a human resources manager or the owner of your company. Once you file a claim, however, responsibility for processing that claim goes to a claims adjuster working for an insurance company. It is possible, therefore, that your supervisor or HR manager may be pleasant, sympathetic and genuinely interested your well being but you may face a very different attitude by the claims adjuster.
Often, your first introduction to the claims adjuster may come when the adjuster contacts you to schedule a recorded statement by phone. Insurance companies use recorded statements to learn more about what happened when you got hurt, but they mainly use these statements to find reasons to deny your claim or limit your medical care.
You should assume that a recorded statement in your workers' compensation case is like a police interrogation – anything you say can and will be used against you.
This is why I strongly recommend that your avoid participating an a recorded statement before retaining a lawyer to represent you. In my practice, I prepare my clients for recorded statements and I appear with my clients on the phone (using a 3 way telephone conference call).
If the adjuster attempts to mislead you or put words in your mouth, I am there to object or to clarify.
My colleague, Charlotte workers compensation lawyer Bob Bollinger, gives a helpful example of how an unrepresented claimant can unknowingly damage his case by not knowing how to respond to questions during a recorded statement. In Bob's example, the unrepresented claimant left out an important detail about how an accident happened, resulting in a contested claim that most likely would have been accepted without fuss had this detail been included.
My point here is that every word you utter in a recorded statement or deposition has the potential to be used against you. So, if you find yourself facing the prospect of a recorded statement, I urge you not to discuss your claim with an experienced insurance adjuster without first talking to an experienced workers compensation claimant's lawyer. My phone number is 770-351-0801 and I am happy to help.
