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"

Old Silver Key - Tales of Wanderings(2011)

Another example of late knowing a band, once again in the post style sound, with some heavy riffs. A lot of you may enjoy this band, I like what I heard in"Star Catcher" and will be a song to hear again in the near future.

This is the last post of this god-damned year of 2018, let's hope 2019 will be better for me and for us. cheers

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.

Last Leaf Down - Fake Lights(2014)

As I really enjoy the sound of these  guys, I searched for older material. I found Fake "Lights album" the sound found on "In These Waters"  has something that sent me to the sound of Impure Whilemina, not so in shoegaze but more into doom rock/metal. These Guys Seem to keep on amazing me

The second and last  song I'm showing you is "The Theme", Here we clearly are into shoegaze/alternative/post sound  they evolved in the later works. The dark ambience of the sounds will always amaze me.

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

Fen - Trails Out Of Gloom(2011)

Keeping on the track of bands/sounds I never heard about, I stumble upon Fen a Canadian mix of dark ambient sounds with progressive touch. On "Miracle" you can clearly see this combo of dark ambience with the elements of progressive, It is not easy to find info about this band due to a black metal band also called Fen, but I will keep attention to this particular band

The song "Queen of the Mountain" is more rocky than the previous one, made me remember of John Mayer singing with a progressive more rocked vibe around it
