Has anyone here heard the swedish band Prowess? Sounds alot like Mastodon did during Remission and Leviathan.

A friend told me about 'em and I checked 'em out. I think they're awesome. I had almost lost hope about new swedish metal. But now we're saved, wiho!
Full Version: Prowess

Hunk o' junk.

One of the members is a regular poster. There are already threads about it.
This one can be closed now.
Ow, I forgot the mods don't care about the Music forum. It's a lawless land here.

congrats,
ive been waiting for something buyable off you guys.
The Colonel was awesome enough to give me the songs they have from their first EP and they are definitely high up on my rotation. Great stuff.
Why the hell do you guys never have "Royal Hunt" on the MySpace? That's my favorite song on the whole EP.

Dunno, felt kinda like a scrambled together last minute song that we weren't that happy with. Has it's moments though.
If anyone wants the ep it's up for grabs at http://www.12gd.com/Music/Prowess-Demo2008.rar

Heh. Sounds like what I call the "Paranoid" theory--when a band writes a song that they think is very simple or thrown together too quickly that winds up being awesome a la Sabbath's Paranoid.
Also, I just noticed this now, but are the lyrics to "The Kraken" based off the poem "The Kraken" by Alfred Tennyson? The lyrics are different, but especially towards the beginning, the first few lines mirror the lines of the poem with a few word changes from what I can hear.
QUOTE
Below the thunders of the upper deep;
Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumber'd and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.
Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumber'd and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.
That's pretty fucking awesome.
