I thought it had enough textures in the music to make it interesting. I can see how some people thought that was pretty boring, but I enjoyed it.

It's all about density of sound instead of riff structure. Not like they're the first band to take that approach, but they're pretty awesome at it.

I recall you also not getting Isis, Neurosis, Cult of Luna, (nice review of Eternal Kingdom though) and more then likely Pelican (I know that City of Echoes wasn't real big with anyone either though) and Jucifer. ( I'm not 100% sure if that was from this site or not). Nothing wrong with that though. I know a ton of people who are well educated in metal and still don't want anything to do with the aforementioned bands. I'm also not even sure where I'm going with this either. ...I also don't see why bands like The Sword, Red Fang, Priestess, Torche, Baroness, and Kylesa aren't as popular as they should be... ...I like Tombs.

There's a lot of nuance to this song lost on many people's ears, I imagine. I've listened to 'Winter Hours' easily twenty times already and it just keeps getting better.

I would have to say alot better then most bands today who are rehashing the 90's death metal genre ie lamb of god, trivium (minus the ghastly melodic vocals to stir up commercial sales). At least tombs is tryyna take heavy music in a different direction, trynna create something new, something we haven't heard before. Not music that we have already heard in the 90's.

As for standard band in a room playing the song videos go, it's not too bad. Song was pretty good too, at least for people who "get" this kind of music. There's plenty of texture all over it, but some variance in the drums and main riff would be good. As for Neur-Isis babies go, I'd say they're worth the time, but it's easier to judge with the whole album. From what I've heard from friends these dudes have a tremendous live show. And John you're just stupid, if you can't play for shit and try a metalgaze outfit you get laughed away into obscurity. The "kids" you're talking about will stick to their bree-core. Sure this post-metal stuff all sounds easy to play, but good luck finding your structure, tone, and hundreds of pedals. There's a reason Neurosis are the kings and Isis its herald.

I hate videos like this and films like this because they try to get by on a lack of visuals by presenting the audience with overbearing filter effects and color correction. Even then, there's a correct way to use manipulation in post (go watch Dominic Hailstone's work for Isis on the 'Holy Tears' video). I'm both a fan of Isis and a practicing filmmaker, and this video is not doing it for me. The filter (smeared light) is so obviously an effect rendered in post that it’s distracting.
