Between the Buried and Me - The Silent Circus

This album's really starting to grow on me. Mordecai and Ad a Dglgmut are goddamn flawless.

Enslaved - Ethica Odini

Really good album, looking forward to get the new one!

pathology: awaken to suffering
pseudogod: triumphus serpentis...
evoken: shades of night descending
xasthur / leviathan split *

*i forgot how much i enjoy both of these guys when they are on there game.

Watain - Opus Dei

A Storm Of Light - And We Wept The Black Ocean Within

Still trying to get into this band.

Eluveitie - Helvetios

evoken: antithesis of light

Origin - Antithesis

Busted this bad boy out because its been a bit since I gave it a spin. Damn fine album!

Threshold - Ashes

Checkin' out March of Progress for the first time. This song blew me away last week when I heard it in single form, and it sounds just as good in its real form.

Agenda of Swine - Lost in Apathy

Dear Prudence from (2002) Siouxsie And The Banshees - Best Of (CD1).
Catchy as fuck!
P.S: And now Hong Kong Garden from the same album.

Warbringer - Living Weapon

The intro is so loaded with pent-up energy, and I think the moment it releases said energy is masterfully done.

Mayhem - Slaughter of Dreams.

I adore that bass.

Behemoth - The Nephilim Rising

Sarcofago -I.N.R.I

I appreciate this more every time I listen to it.

Nightmare - Children of the Nation, off The Burden of God

I love this song's opening riff. It reeks of Dehumanizer era Sabbath.

Yes, they are.

Pendulum - The Fountain (feat Steven Wilson)

Those keys feel like water in my face.

Threshold - Rubicon

This is such an orthodox prog album, but it's so good because the melodies and songs are so tight and well constructed that it doesn't matter. I wish it had heavy-assed songs like "Slipstream" though - that's one thing I miss from their old stuff.

I dont have the Coldworld EP, maybe i'll look for it when i get some necessary albums off my to-buy list.
Totally agree with you on Binah.

NP: Evocation - Tales From The Tomb

Enslaved - Isa

I find myself lost yet again, utterly mesmerized. I used to think this particular release was slightly overrated, but now I'd place it on the level of Vertebrae and AEO. It's connecting with me in an indescribable way, the way only this band can.

King Diamond: The Spider's Lullaby

ADE - Duelling The Shadow Of Spartacus

Not too shabby so far. Better production than their brethren Hour Of Penance.

Damn right! Antithesis is a classic, in my books. Probably the best thing Origin will ever do. There are no bad songs anywhere. It just stays strong throughout!


Can't go wrong with Behemoth.


I.N.R.I. is good, but I actually think I prefer Rotting and The Laws Of Scourge more. I believe they got their sound a bit better on those ones.


It's not as good, admittedly, but I like it. Binah was great! Only listened to it once so far but I was very impressed. I hope future listens will be even better.

Yogsothery - Gate 1: Chaosmogonic Rituals of Fear

I decided to buy this album mostly on a whim just to see what it was like, and it was cheap. I knew I was in for some sort of strangeness considering a big chunk of this split are from unusual ambient bands. I haven't finished my first listen of this yet but I have enjoyed what I've heard so far. Still two more bands to go yet and it could be good, or it could be bad. We'll see.

Rediscovering Striborg after watching that One Man BM documentary. "Foreboding Silence" and "Southwest Passage" back to back.

Neurosis -Sun That Never Sets

Demented Ted - Liquid Remains

Blind Guardian - Mordred's Song.

Watching that gave me the urge to discover them in the first place, which I intend to do when I get home.


Now listening to: Motorhead - Lost Johnny

Not listened to the début in about 6 months, and I'm enjoying it a lot more now than I was last time.

Virgin Steele - Invictus
I sing of Power, Magick and Faith
A Sonnet of Pure Victory
A Hymn to the Spirits of Freedom and Grace
And whichever Gods there may be . . .

Fleshcrawl - Beneath a Dying Sun

It's been forever and a day since I've listened to these guys.

Undergang - Til Doden Os Skiller

Candlemass - The Lights of Thebe, off Psalms for the Dead

To fly and to scheme, and harvest all dreams
That lead to love and holy wars
There's evil..... evil..... EVIL! EVIL IN MY MIND!!!

This is probably my favorite song off Psalms for the Dead, and that has quite a bit to do with the fact that it possesses one of the best (if kinda short) choruses ever written by Leif Edling.

Dissona - Avelia

Weird disjointed-sounding prog, but the riffs and vocals keep it grounded and sounding pretty solid. I like this alright - wonder if it'll grow on me.

Ixion - To The Void

Space doom!

Acolyte - Sunrise

Chopin - Piano Sonata No.8 in C Minor.

Some guy walked into my work yesterday and came up to me and asked if I could check if we had any music from a certain band for him, I ask for the name and he says fuckin Psycroptic... it took me a second to register that a random dude I've never seen or met before in my town just asked if we had any music from an Australian technical death metal. That totally made my day, and subsequently caused me to go home and re-listen to Psycroptic's entire discography.. Just figured I'd share that with all of you.
Euphorinasia - Psycroptic

Arkaik - Reflections Within Dissonance

The Lord Weird Slough Feg - Headhunter

Classic stuff right here. Production's a little fuzzy, but with songs this awesome, it's hardly anything.

Robert Schumann - Symphony No.2
