NEMUER - Chapter V: Labyrinth of Druids(2016)

One of these days I was roaming inside the folk/world music departing from similar stuff to Irfan and/or The Moon and the Night Spirit and stumbled upon this band, Nemuer, a clear mix of influences form here and there, the first music I heard was "Caves of Damnation" a calmer song with some sounds thinking like deep sea calls or calls from within, I immediately felt in love with it. The final crescendo is something simply amazing.

The second song I hear is way darker in ambience than the first one, a different taste if you may think. the song is called "Those Who Are Not Seen"

The third song is "The Isle of Awakening", after a darker ambient, now a chill one with sounds of the shoreline near the sea, to breathe the calm within

The final song I am showing you is "Castle (Dedicated to H. P. Lovecraft)" this is what you would expect if your lost in a maze inside a dense forest in a game, but it seems to give you the hint of the exit in it as you get closer. Nice one

In The Woods - Pure(2016)

Cheers, Hope you had an amazing new year's eve and the new year may bring amazing new sounds for us to hear. To start this year, I will show you something I found recently, despite being from 2016. In some way this made me remember of Amorphis with a feeling darker than what Amorphis sing about usually, full of power, but I already checked they have even heavier sounds. Hope you enjoy this "Cult of Shining Stars"

Candlemass - House of Doom(EP 2018) and Death Thy Lover(EP 2016)

Cheers my friends, today I will bring a really fast post, to announce the new video by Candlemass, I love Candlemass even more since Mats Leven entered the band, on 25th May they will release the EP House of Doom, hope you enjoy the song they just revealed with the exact same name "House of Doom". Hope you enjoy it as much as me.

For those who don't know Candlemass that well, I bring you the other song of them with Mats Leven, from the EP Death Thy Lover from 2016. I can't say my favourite from this songs.

Does who enjoyed these songs please listen to all their works from pre-Mats Leven era.

Fatal Fusion - Total Absence(2016)

One of this days someone suggested me this band, and I am so glad he did it. I enjoy it all the way, don't know what it is but sounds simply wonderful, with no more words, here it is the song "The Emperor's Letter"

Señoritas - Acho que é meu dever não gostar (2016)

Today I'm showing you a new Portuguese band arising from the ashes of an amazing band called A Naifa. Now I noticed I never shared anything of them with you. But first what is first, Señoritas, is a good sound hope you enjoy it. Acho que é meu dever não gostar is the song i'm showing you

Witherscape - The Northern Sanctuary (2016)

 Happy new 2017, hope this year will brings us better vibes than the last one.

Cheers, sorry for my absence, but the last 3 weeks of Decemeber were a true roller coaster, with so much to do that I didn't have time to post anything. But new year new material to share. I found a lot of new and interesting things to share with you. the first one is Withescape, I'm an amazing fan of Dan Swäno, since I heard his voice on Star One project from Arjen Lucassen and after hearing Sumeria song from Devin Townsend. This album mixes some heavy riffs and sounds with a melodic and clean vocals, I like this kind of combo. It also has a doom touch I really enjoy.
First I'm showing you the song that brought me to this band. "Marionette"

At last I'll show you the lyric video for this album "In The Eyes Of Idols"

 You won't have to wait so much for the next post, next Saturday you can wait for it.

Trees of Eternity - Hour of the Nightingale (2016)

Today a band within progressive rock and progressive metal, the song I'm sharing with you is beautiful, amazing voice but sadly the vocalist died recently. I want to hear the album as soon as it comes out, for those who enjoy sounds like Porcupine or Antimatter with the touch of Ava Inferi that's something you can't loose. The song also present in their first EP is called Black Ocean

Poets of The Fall - Clearview (2016)

Today I bring you the new single for the new album of Poets of The Fall, one of my favourite rock bands, with several songs with a touch of the progressive feeling. Hope you enjoy it, soon I will share with a post for album of them, you will like it.

Karmakanic - Dot (2016)

One of this days in my suggestions appeared this band, a bit in a way comming from Steven Wilson solo works, Leprous or Tim Bowness, a bit somewhere between them
 

I don't know when the next post will appear, but it will appear, I don't have much time to post here with the quality I would like, even my time to search for things is not the same. But Sooner or later in August I will try to see what I have already posted and what other bands, mainly from progressive, and not only as you know here, I have yet to put here.

LETZTE INSTANZ - Liebe im Krieg (2016)

As there was not that much to hear in last post, I decided to share something more with you this week, so today I bring you a German band, I heard this and I like it instantaneously. Is not the harsh like song you may be used to from germanic countries. I find it rather melodic,check it out:

Here the lyrics for this song
durch den Nebel hallt mein schrei
Ein kurzer schmerz, es wird so kalt
alles zieht an mir vorbei
und zieht mich in die Dunkelheit
halt noch immer meine Hand
die sich nicht mehr regt
mit dem letzten Bild von dir
mach ich mich auf den Weg

Weiß wie der schnee
mein herz es zerbrach
Dort unten am See
In finsterer nacht
Ich sehe dein gesicht
Auf wenn ich nun geh
Dein licht begleitet mich,
So hell und weiß wie der schnee

Vergißmeinnicht so schön es war
Es sollte doch nicht sein
Ich weiß nicht, was mit uns geschah
Zu spät nun, ich tauch ins Dunkel ein

Weiß wie der schnee
mein herz es zerbrach
Dort unten am See
In finsterer nacht
Ich sehe dein gesicht
Auf wenn ich nun geh
Dein licht begleitet mich,
So Hell und weiß wie der schnee (x2)


P.S.: The theme of this song made me remember how my friendship with a friend which makes her birthday today has gone through so much ups and downs, And it happen to post this on this day. Just a personal curiosity

The Unknown - Into The Unknown (2016)

There are not many the bands arriving from middle East, and the few who are are in black or death metal, at least the ones I know. Suddenly appeared on a facebook friend invitation someone from a band which I really enjoyed from the first time I heard. Directly from Iran I leave you with the teaser, sadly for now there is nothing more to hear, but as soon as it is I will recover them, they are like a mix from what you could expect from a mix between Antimatter and Amaseffer, it that is possible, I really enjoy it.

Ihsahn - Arktis (2016)

The reason for having shared now with you Ihsahn was the new release from Ihsahn, released in the first half of this year 2016, it's a album worth listening to. I live you my favourite, which counts with Einar Solberg from Leprous, called Celestial Violence

Kissin' Dynamite - Generation Goodbye (2016)

Today I'm bringing you something more from power metal, than from progressie, the first song I heard from this band it was the visual of the vocalist that bring me more attention, a bit feminine I would say, but immediately after one recognize his enormous voice.
The first song presented was Hashtag Your Life, a critic against social dependence of hashtags and how it controls your life

 

But then appeared a song that made me addicted to this band, called If Clocks Were Running Backwards, amazing voice and everything fits perfectly, check it out, the album is out July 8th of this year 2016

Heavenwood - The Tarot Of The Bohemians (2016)

Today I bring you a song from the last Heavenwood album The Tarot Of The Bohemians, The reason I made I made the posts about Redemption and Abyss MAsterpiece,was to prepare you to this one. Here for you to enjoy this amazing Porto's band. They seem to have return in full strength

Katatonia - The Fall of Hearts (2016)

The new work from Katatonia seems to be amazing, in advance Katatonia revealed this song, I soon became addicted to it, the darker atmosphere from Katatonia is well visible

Long Distance Calling - Lines from Trips Album (2016)

Today I will share an enormous song from an album which will be released this month April, And it fits here a Progressive metal/rock style, with ambience sounds. Long Distance calling, for you.

Borknagar - Winter Thrice (2016)

Today I bring you something a bit different, I stumble upon this album almost by accident, somewhere between progressive metal and some heavier sounds, for me in the exact same measure for it to turn from amazing to a masterpiece of excellence.
The first song it first we doubt what it's worth but then we realise it's a great one

However, their official video song for this album is even more amazing, with the same name as the album Winter Thrice we feel the strength of the Winter it's cold ways. I'm addicted to this song.

Sorry but probably in the next times I won't be able to make two posts a week as before, in other way it's also good to give you time to hear the things I post properly with no rush at all. Only when I have a unique song to show you I will share with you at a Wednesday. See you around next Saturday

ProgCenter - Myrath - Legacy 2016

Hello fellows which can't stay without hearing new things, today I bring to you the new album of a band I talked already here, Myrath. The new album had a crowd-funding to what enable the band to do a video(for me it turned out a bit lame in some points, but the idea is interesting remembering Prince of Persia theme.
The first song is the official video released for the new album, Believer, there we see clearly a meshup between occidental and more traditional sounds

However is the last released one which attracts me more, cause not only the progressive is present with a subtle touch, all the sound typical from middle east metal is also there. check it out, Nobody's Lives

Progressive metal elements - Lords of Black - II (2016)

Today I bring you a band more near to power metal/power progressive, Lords of Black, a band from Spain maybe the first I talk about here on my Blog. and the main reason to that is Ronnie Romero the vocalist which was also recently invited by Ritchie Blackmore for Rinabow's new album, but better than me talking, let me show you "Everything you're Not" his voice clearly remembers Jorn Lande in their best fase. Check out

next 3 posts, one a week will be from the same band, one of the posts I wanted to do since the beginning of the year, stay tunned
