In a way. Like pot, it's totally fucking illegal for me to give it to you. Unlike pot, it's not actually illegal for me to possess it.

oh man i just discovered a new band for me to go totally crazy about: ISIS ! it was on my "to check out" list at least for a year now, and i finally got around to do it... it's fcking AWESOME !!! listening to "In the Absence of Truth" right now... ♥

oh, and yesterday i discovered Rosetta which is also pretty awesome, especially that weird stuff with The Galilean Satellites:

the goal was to record two albums of equal length (one a metal album , the other a noise/ambient/drone album), each of which could stand on its own two feet, but together would create a richer, more rewarding experience. The band recorded the album in quadrophonic sound which lends itself well to the bands unique experiments in noise, sampling, feedback and power.

i have listened to both Combined and Disc 1 only versions, and it's just amazing! Never heard of stuff like this before...

[Azzor1911]

If you like Isis you should definitely check out Neurosis, cause basically Isis wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for Neurosis' Through Silver In Blood and everything that came after it.
Very influential album, more than those bands are ever gonna admit.

[Elvina]

haha thnx, i knew you would say that as a Neurosis fan yeah, i had them on my list too, but i kinda got it backwards: first Rosetta, then Isis, and now i need to listen to Neurosis...

[NovembersDirge]

Yeah I listened to some Neurosis yesterday, they're good.

Cult of Luna is very good too.

Arch Enemy: Blood on Your Hands

Getting read for the gig(s)!

The Prodigy – Firestarter

[Allfader]

Vintersorg // Visions from the Spiral Generator.

Playing some songs on bass, the album is still incredible and sounds very fresh.

One of my all time favs. I agree with you about how fresh it sounds.

Speaking of sounding fresh: Sigh // Scenes from Hell this record sounds incredible so far.

[Elvina]

Insomnium // Across the Dark
now i'll probably like anything melodic death, but this is simply beautiful! A perfect blend of melancholy and anger. I can't believe i didn't listen to this more often... and now i'm even reconsidering my top 10 of 2009! I love this album, from the first track on it gets only better and better

How so? I've been a fan for years now. Think I first heard of them when their second album came out. It's been a while.

I though Be'lakor's record was better. Insomnium was good, but it just sounded so... done before. I think melodic death needs a rest until someone does it new and better.

Hypocrisy // A Taste of Extreme Divinity — This was a good album.

Totally agreed about Insomnium. I was told it was really great but it's nothing new at all. I'm not so sure but after At The Gates released Slaughter of The Soul, melodeath became very simple and monotonous, even DT is making very simple songs, like radio hits or MTV-oriented songwriting (like Archenemy, band that I truly hate since Angela joined and In Flames that now they are like a Korn clone or something). The latest Hypocrisy album is what I was searching for new melodic death. Brutal-tech death metal has spawned some good bands lately. I always dance with Benighted (hahaha) and Be'lakor is really good.

Listening Opeth - Benighted. Never been an Opeth fan but this song is really good (even if the 1st minute was totally stolen to Camel xD).

uneXpect: Song from the new album that only Defiance has heard.


I am so happy, I actually got to listen to two new uneXpect songs from the upcoming album. No one, besides the band and close friends have heard them. I am so lucky.

Just so you know, the new album will be brilliant. The songs felt like a natural progression from IFA, but a lot more "relaxed" and fresh. For example, as Syriak told me, there were parts that the band really liked, so they decided to stick with them more and not make so abrupt a changes very often. But believe me, those two songs were crazy as hell. One of them (apparently the closing one) made me cry, it was beautiful and (for me) very emotive. You have no idea what's coming (and neither do I since I only listened to two songs hehe ). Oh and I can't write the names because Syriak didn't let me .

Bye!



( I look so gay in this pic hehehe.)

Awesome Funeral Doom album. If you are interested in it, you can download for free from the bands website at: http://www.helllight.com. Go to the Discography section.

so what if it's nothing new, it's still very beautiful. I couldn't care less if those bands are total clones of each other, as long as they all make music that makes me go wow.
Besides, i don't know the bands you guys mentioned. If you mean Dark Tranquility by DT, i've only heard Fiction, Skydancer and Of Chaos and Eternal Night of theirs, and was totally unimpressed. In fact i wasn't even compelled to listen to them another time, maybe i should, dunno. Just don't get what all the fuss is about.
Insomnium // Across the Dark is anything but monotonous and simple. If it bores you because you heard it all 100 times before elsewhere, ok good reason i guess, but this is not my case. It sounds atmospheric and hauting to me.

Now listening to Týr // Eric the Red // The Edge - best song of theirs!! ♥♥♥ gives me chills every time

I was just expressing why it didn't do anything for me. I know a lot of people got very excited about it, but I just couldn't. I listened to it probably 10 times and haven't touched it since. It was a shame, frankly. It was definitely beautiful, it had great melodies on it and stuff.. it just didn't do much for me.

On the other hand I am listening to Orphaned Land // The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR again. Reading the lyrics on the website.. and I just did an interview with Kobi (the vocalist). This is one of the best albums I've ever listened to in my life. I haven't personally been this into an album in years.
