Song of the Week - 2014

[Mardoch]

It's late March and we didn't have one of these yet!

Same rules as last year:

The rules:

1. You can only post once per week.
2. You can only post a single tune (clip or link).
3. 2014 releases only. (updated for this year)
4. Song must kick all sorts of ass regardless of genre.

This will help spread the word on new stuff that can get overlooked and provide plenty of time for those that only hit the forum occasionally instead of daily.

Here's my opening salvo:
Intervals - Moment Marauder

Well executed, but could be more ambitious. A bit too close to the original arrangements IMHO.

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

I'm just happy that some band like Times of Grace didn't attempt those songs. Oh shit. Holy Diver was in fact murdered by Killswitch Engage years ago. It already happened and for some reason, it made this compilation. Oy! That's quite dreadful.

Here's a nice ballad from 2014:

The more I listen to the Metallica "Ronnie Rising" tribute, the more I miss Cozy Powell.

 

[Jasonic]

Haven't gotten much from 2014 yet......

^ Have you heard the Palm Zero album?

might be my album of the year. Amazing stuff.

That was interesting. Like a spiritual successor to early CoB, but more blackened. I think I like it.

 

[AngraRULES]

Whispered rules.

 

[Nidstang]

Some fantastic post-rock with black metal elements.
Very ethereal and beautiful stuff.
Can't wait for the whole album to come out.
Definitely check out their previous material, if you like what you hear.

Damn! That's good!

 

[Nidstang]

Some fantastic doom from the genius mind of Alan Averill.
Just classic, slow, heavy doom.

Love it. Been listening to the album like crazy since you posted this.

 

[Mardoch]

Tosin is a man near the top of the game, but it seems like Reyes got to let loose on this album too. There's so much I love on this disc; so many badass grooves, lush soundscapes, general craziness.

 

[General Zod]

Kind of surprised this hasn't generated more chatter, as they seemed to go over well at PP:
