    Ellestin get in here [CoO spotlight]

    Circle of Ouroborus – most peeps know them from their early split with urfaust, and as that band with a hundred releases. Their early albums were a lot more lo-fi weirdo mix of garage rock/bm with some post punk influences—with a few being straight neo-folk. After the initial bunch of albums...

    RECOMMENDATION: A Pregnant Light

    RECOMMENDATION: Ilbeltz - Auskan Gabiltz Olatun Gainian

    Ibeltz (Spain) Alright, so this band hails from the Basque region of Spain, and play a melodic folk/bm hybrid, with a heavy emphasis on the folk.

    RECOMMENDATION:Obsequiae- Suspended in the Brume of Eos

    Obsequiae (US) Alright, this got some attention on the gmd forum, but little if any here, which needs to be remedied. Obsequiae play a melodic black/death metal with a heavy emphasis on medieval /melody harmonies. Great guitar work, nice upfront bass and varied structuring round this one out:

    Samothrace - Life's Trade

    Samothrace - Life's Trade 1. La Llorona 2. Awkward Hearts 3. Cacophony 4. Cruel Awake It seems to be mostly black metal lately, so i'll throw this out. This band from the midwest plays a kind of doom/sludge, with small hints of stoner/psychedelic throughout. Slow and plodding guitars crawl...

    Non metal recommendation

    Jose Gonzalez - Veneer I've been listening to this album for the past couple of nights, really tranquil stuff. Folkly with just an acoustic guitar and somber vocals. I dont really know too many other comparisons because i dont know the genre well ( maybe nick drake?). Recommended if you're...
