Last Leaf Down - Bright Wide Colder(2017)

Recently searching for similar sounds to those of Les Discrets I found this band. Les Discrets has a dark vibe to it that I love, there guys happen to have the same atmosphere with them.
it is an alternative rock band with Shoegaze influence, if you like Les Discrets like me you will enjoy this one to.

From Bright Wide colder I bring you "Ghost Trails" a more heavier songs the voice is really amazing to, fitting so well with the instrumental that brings us to a new level where music has a voice. So many vibes from thinks so different as Katatonia to Alcest.

The second music is "Purple Skies", this one gave me some feelings found in music from the Gothic genre, less heavier instrumentally than the previous one, a different example. Here the shoegaze is more visible the music with ability to let us see ourselves within.

Then I show you "The Path" a single released in 2016. This song as a shadowy feeling, evoking what we would found in the doom sub-genre, keeping the way shown in the previous songs

ART OF ANARCHY - The Madness(2017)

I don't like passing to much time without posting anything, so I remember to show you something you may not have come across. It's Art of Anarchy which counts with ex-Creed Voclaist Scott Stapp, it is a style much less rocky and more towards hard rock. I think you will enjoy the song "No Surrender"

Home(João Barradas) - An End as a New Beginning (2017)

I friends, Due to health reasons until May it will be really hard to come and put this blog updated. Today I finally found a time and decided to share something I found recently.

Today I am showing you something you may have not be expecting and I am sure will not appear here often, A music inside the fusion Jazz, with Jazz, with elements of rock and other sonorities. It was the Vibraphone which called my attention. I will start with the song which gives name to the CD. "An End as a New Beginning"

And my favorite one, "I Am Going Away For a While Don't Try And Follow Me"

Impure Wilhelmina - Radiation (2017)

Today I need to stop a bit the Therion chariot cause I have to talk to you about a new found band for me, one of those bands that of new as nothing, they are around since 1996 but only some days ago I found about it. The songs of the album seem like arising from the black aura of Katatonia, if you like me are a Katatonia fan you will be enthusiastic about this album, even if you are not, together with that dark aura you have a vocals that really has resemblance with Oddleif Stensland from Communic, and to finish this analysis they really go drink some big influences to Doom Metal and around. If you enjoy complex songs this is your beach.
Enjoy. I will share some of the songs I heard about, the first one I heard was "Great Falls Beyond Death" and it enters in your mind really fast

The second one "Bones and Heart" is not so amazing but is also really cool

The "We Need A New Sun" really made me glad, it starts really slowly but when it bursts it made me remember another band I really enjoy... Barren Earth. It's heavy instrumentally and that I adore.

To finalize I leave you with the song "Sacred Fire"

See you next week

Russkaja - Kosmopoliturbo(2017)

Today something a little different I can't avoid not posting something about for too long, this band is called Russkaja but they are from Austria. The "Russian" influence is mainly because of the vocalist being from Georgia, coudn't find info about the other integrants.

Two songs for now, the first one is called Hey road, the lyrics are so true and with a ska movement all the way, I love it htey call it Ska metal... is it possible?

I'm driving down this road, so long 
Life is just the journey we take 
I'm driving down this road, so long 
To a brand new day 
Wont'cha come my way 

Yes we learnt, to forget 
We got lost just to find another path 
We refuse to conform 
Yes we did everything just to escape the norm 
You can try, but you can't hide from fate

The second song is Alive, seems like a joke but sounds so good and the hip-hop mix in the middle is also kinda nice.

I'm becoming addicted to this band.

Os Quatro E Meia - Pontos Nos Is (2017)

Those who follow my blog know that sometimes I like to bring some different stuff, cause not only hard rock and metal can have progressive elements. I bring you what we can call a fusion between rock and traditional sound. Most of you will not understand what is these songs about but they are upbeat and cheerful or other times more to the heart. I love it and decided to share with you.

The first song more festive is called Baile de São Simã, about a ball where a guy wants to be with a girl nothing of much

 The second song is my favourite form what I heard, called "Um Sim para Regressar", this can be seen in two different perspectives. One a boy who made something less honorable to a girl and repents it and ask for forgiveness, or can also be seen by the eyes of an emigrant, one who was forced to leave his country to fight for his life and now is back cause can't be more time away from his beloved country and culture. See what you think it is. This one has a really nice progression, starts slowly and becomes more rythmic at the end.

Soon I will comeback to more hard sounds, for now as the end of summer is comming lets enjoy

Steven Wilson - To The Bone(2017) - New Outstanding Song revealed

I Can't let it pass unnoticed so i'm posting at Wednesday once again... recently Steven Wilson revealed a 4th song from the album and I must say to you, it is a masterpiece, the progressive tone all in it, it made me remember the vibe of Don't hate me which is my favourite Porcupine Tree song, with no more words worth to be said to say how much I enjoy this one, here it is the new revealed song: Refuge

Threshold - Legends Of The Shires (2017)

If You have been paying attention, You may know that Damian Wilson is no longer threshold's Vocalist, in a way I understand, if it's true that Damian has an amazing voice, the vocal range is not so big, Threshold were stuck in a sonority in the two albums with him, With the re-entrance of Glynn Morgan, they can approach new sonorities due to the more powerful voice Glynn has. The song already revealed made satisfied in a simple song we see more innovation than in the last 5 years, don't get me wrong I love March of Progress and For The Journey but in these albums I missed something else to go with the amazing regular prog, missed something powerful that Glynn or Andrew McDermott use to give us.
In this song Lost In Translation is noticeable a more powerful song, yet keeping the melody and the match with Glynn's voice, However some parts of the verses are yet constructed around Damian's voice and that is noticeable, if you hear you will notice what I'm saying. Nonetheless I really enjoyed this new song and I'm waiting for the new album.

I will post something more of this new album once it's released.

Leprous - Malina(2017)

Today I bring you the new album of that amazing band that are the Leprous, even with a change in their formation(their guitarist departed and was subtituted) even so they will release in August 25th their next album Malina, there we can find this song

I enjoyed it, it clearly detaches from The Congregation(2015) which was aamzing, but no one likes to hear the same sonority in two sucessive albums, nevertheless this new sound made me remembere here and there the sonority of Bilateral which I learned to appreciate. Once something more is released I will share it with you.

CARACH ANGREN - Dance And Laugh Amongst The Rotten(2017)

Welcome once again here to this point in the internet. Well today I bring you something, which I stumbled upon by accident, I was checking my daily updates of my subscribed channels on youtube and happen to hear this masterpiece, more from the black metal but I love  the cadence, the rythm just intrumental without the vocals that so often spoil the genre. Enjoy

Steven Wilson - To The Bone(2017)

Just a Single post to show you another song shown by Steven Wilson from it's next album To The Bone, it's the Song of I. Enjoy

Steven Wilson - To The bone (2017)

Seems another Steven Wilson album is going to be released next August, and also with a atour following up the release. Happily, contrarily to Anathema, Portugal will be the first date of the tour, I will be there for sure in 2018 if nothing wrong happens.
Leave you with the first single released for this album, with once again the presence of marvelou Ninet Tayeb, the song is called Pariah

Pyramaze - Contingent(2017)

As I said on last week, another band releasing a new album is Pyramaze, Contingent was released last 28th April to. Two songs were revealed already if it is needed later this year I will make an update with sings I like I didn't post here today.
The first song 20 Second Century is not one of my favourite Pyramaze songs of all time, something is missing for me, when compared to the last 3 albums even being each of them with different vocals(being the last one still the same on this record), I leave however this here so maybe you enjoy it.

Now the second song revealed I really really enjoy it, its called Kingdom Of Solace it has a lot of power and energy and made me want to hear again and again. Listen here: 

the third one revealed joins an interesting video with an amazing song, where Jonah Weingarten keyboard is a noted presence. I'm waiting for a enormous album

 Cheers and see you soon.

Anathema - The Optimist(2017)

Greetings... Last week I had no time to come here, and didn't plan it on time as I should.
But in the upside I found some pretty nice things. one of them, a song from the new Anathema album called " the Optimist" what is a progressive metal/rock blog without talking about Anathema? they are back in with full power, with a touch of Alcest atmosphere, and they happen to have a tour together which sadly, doesn't pass in Portugal as normal.

The song Springfield is one of my favourite songs from Anathema so far, and they have a lot of amazing songs. check it out
