Widescreen Mode - Until The End(2007) and The Hanging Man(2009)

Some time passed since my last post in this format. One of these days I remembered a band I used to hear a lot from Finland, no I am not talking about Poets of the Fall this time. They are or were, don't know their current status, called Widescreen Mode, If such thing as doom rock even exists they would be really close to that sound, dark lyrics and sounds, amazed at the time 2008/2009. But forgot about them for some years.

Starting with "Serotonin", a song about a neuroreceptor is always something different right? this is a good way to talk indirectly about depression and mood problems, as Serotonin usually regulates our moods. This song comes in "The Hanging Man"

The Other song from the 2007 album, "Until the End" and is my favourite, Dead Inside. Both song and video are pretty violent talking about a sudden turn in life that leaves you thinking if "it" is still worth it or not. For those darker days this sounds so good.

This is a more usual song from rock/metal, called Everlasting Bomb. But I think is always good to show at least three songs to help you decide what you think about the bands whenever I can.

Arctic Plateau - On A Sad Sunny Day(2009)

Keeping on discovering songs associated with the shoegaze/post rock/metal bands here we have Arctic Plateau, WheN I searched for Similar artists/bands to Les Discrets, this maybe be the closer one to what Les Dicrests and Alcest used us to. I leave you for today with "On a Sunny Day", the heavy presence of guitars control the song.

PowerMetal - Leverage - Circus Colossus 2009

Yeah it's right, finally a post in a Wednesday, the reason is simple, to make the transition between progressive bands I always try to post something different so in the next progressive band you will be more ready to hear it properly. So Today I bring you Leverage from Finland, this band is for me, in sound, what we can expect coming form power heavy metal, a song of emotion, meaning. This one talks about being stuck to someone, someone we love, someone we thought we loved but the fact is we are stuck in that person. as the song says:

 The wolf's growling in my soul
Screaming let me out

From Circus Colossus, Wolf and the Moon, can't say if the album is good or not as I never heard the album as a whole, but this song is surely great to hear if you're in power metal

Mono part 1 - Hymn to the Immortal Wind (2009)

Greetings as I was making my last post, I checked I haven't talked about Mono so far, And tough for those Who might no get my references on Aesthesys post, might get them here
I had the luck to be in a concert of Mono in May 2015 and it's just an amazing trip around the emotions and feelings, which feels so good.
Their sound I would say has a rich environment, with something to be given to the listener. This album has a soft tone in it, some tunes that will be resonating in your head forever, if it has the same effect it had in me
but enough of words, which I can't find to properly define the majesty of this Japanese song, some of the songs are the most beautiful I ever heard. The magic of Progressive on it's best
