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.
For some unknown reason I wasn't aware that a new ablum from Ihsahn was around after 2016's Arktis, but thinking a bit it makes sense. I really enjoyed the song presented for us to hear, seems to follow part fo the path of Arktis focusing a lot on Ihsahn's clean vocals, which is what I like the most I leave you with "Arcana Imperii"
First and foremost, sorry for not posting last week, but in fact I didn't have nothing worth posting in that week that would be unique or something really interesting, so I decided to post nothing. This week started with me stumbling upon this amazing song from Thy Catafalque "Tenger, Tenger" is an ambient folky sound in the sound,really not heavy. The album already came around last May, but only this week crossed my eyes.
Hope you enjoy. See you next week
Today I am showing you a band I found recently, Season of Mist is impossible to get assured on what we will hear before we do so. This band is most of time instrumental, with some samples but it surely has a lot of progressive elements on its sound.
The first song I heard was "Civil War Pt 1" a fast one to keep on track with the band
Than the biggest one, "Times, They Are A'raging" with vocals on it, starts slowly and steady and blows up in the end
The third one, "Slow Motion Breakdown" also starts calmly than exploed to return to its origin point
And the last one,"You Brought It Upon Yourselves" where the samples are used, make me for sure remember something that would come out of Shoegaze or experimental.
I really enjoyed far more than I expected, and this kind of surprises I really enjoy
I am so glad to hear the Sandager Brothers are back in doing music together. Now with Morten on drums and producing instead of the keyboards he used us to. I enjoyed this song to be sincere. I missed hear Mikkel Sandager's voice, I love his voice since Mercenary time, and this is no exception
Here I leave you "Stay on Top"
Second song is way calmer, more on the rock side of the spectre for me "Thunder in Paradise"
The third one revealed is "Angry Love", has a stronger beat, seems more in the way of the old Grunge/stoner rock ways in my opinion
and the final one is "Calling" this is faster and more in line to what is the first song and what they used us to in old times. This and the first one are by far my favorites.
I had already two other posts prepared, but something came about that made me delay both of the publications. Antimaterr releades the first single from the new album, coming out in November for what I remember. The track revealed "The Third Arm", made me search for the new album to preorder right away, and made me also order an older one I didn't have and have been hearing it on repeat since yesterday October the 5th .
The dark atmosphere so tipycal of Antimatter is present yet again and the crescendo of the music, oh my god. Hope you enjoy it, and mad eme glad I bought the Under The Doom festival ticket.
Next two weeks be prepared for the return of two brother I love to ear in metal, and some new stuff I foun recently. Cheers
One of these days in a pastime I usually take part in, someone remembered me of this band. I always really loved Live, they had something different if they were considered post-Grunge like several other bands. Musics like 1994'sThrowing Copper album song "Selling the Drama" were already mesmerizing to me mixing the power of music and lyrics. This album was however where I took notion of what Live was, joining songs and the name.
At that time "Dolphin's Cry" run in all radios and TV's a song about an orgasm was only fair to give eargasms to, no? ahah
Another song came around later, "Run to the Water" a big message like the one to make us wake up, mixing again an amazing lyrics with melody and rythm.
Hope you enjoy this Callback of mine to this amazing band. Cheers
Recently it was revealed the first song of the album Warrel Dane was preparing and recording before dying. Hearing it still makes it harder to accept his death as he still had a lot to give to metal genre. In my opinion in this song "Disconnection System" we can hear a lot of the atmosphere we heard in obsidian conspiracy(last Nevermore Album). I enjoy it a lot, dark atmosphere, hunting lyrics, if you like me enjoy Nevermore you will enjoy this one. The new album is out in October 26th later this year.
