As you might have notice this blog plays around the progressive word, The main objective is to help on the promotion of metal and trying to change the perspective metal=noise.
However, Expect the unexpected. Mainly focussed on progressive metal or rock, but easily going to catch some good stuff to bands with only some progressive elements. And sometimes also going totally out of the progressive genre and of metal. Help you discovering what has been done of value around the world in my opinion.
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.
I was thinking. Who should be the first band/music I will post on this blog. And so I decided for one of the bands that I can't get sick of hear any of their songs.
I'm Talking about Amaseffer, one enormous band on progressive metal.
Amaseffermeans People of the Holy Bookin Hebrew, the native language of band's musicians. Their members are:
Yuval Kramer (Dark Serpent, Omb, Reign of the Architect, ex-Prey for Nothing) - Guitars, Bass
Erez Yohanan - Drums, Percussion, Bass, Narration
Hanan Avramovich (Reign of the Architect) - Guitars
And for me the most important,
Mats Leven (Krux, Therion,Candlemass, Adagio, Gus G - Solo Album) on vocals
Their debut album was something marvelous, Slaves for Life from 2008, it's not just a simple album, is a concept album, destined to tell a tale for everyone not only to hear what's happening but also to feel all the story, stories about the biblic events. Even for those who don't value christian values, you will feel embraced by the melody and symphony, in the song
In this album Also Angela Gossow (Ex-Arch Enemy Vocalist) enters on midian song. One very important aspect, is that they mix the oriental music and sounds with ocidental style, making this amazing fusion.
The full alignment was this:
1. Sorrow 02:40
2. Slaves for Life 08:27
3. Birth of Deliverance 11:11
4. Midian 11:47
5. Zipporah 06:10
6. Burning Bush 06:31
7. The Wooden Staff 09:13
8. Return to Egypt 03:25
9. Ten Plagues 11:28
10. Land of the Dead 06:53
Here you can hear Burning Bush, 6th music of Slaves for life album, here you can feel almost every word, it's hard to be indifferent, enjoy the fusion between ocidental and oriental music.
In 2011 the band released a new song,Pillar of Fire , from their next album When the Lions Leave Their Den where the band showd What we could expect in a next album. The band only on last December (2013) revealed they are on studio making the new album, all fans expect the album to be released before 2015.
This is one of my most awaited albums, hope i will not be disappointed.
Here it is pillar of Fire,they keep on an amazing pace, this is still a pre-production sound, we hope the next album, the continuation of the story will be as amazing as the first one
