    The Official Jethro Tull Thread

    So I've always been a fan of Jethro Tull, but I've recently come to realize the true gravity of Ian Anderson's songwriting. They put out an album every year from 1968 to 1980 and they're all excellent. The peak comes in 1977-78 with "Songs From the Wood", followed by the masterpiece "Heavy...

    Noltem - "Illusions in the Wake" (2021, Transcending Obscurity Records)

Because I am a longtime forum member, you must endure...

    Stormkeep - Galdrum

    I'm surprised that I haven't seen this mentioned here yet, but I believe that it'll appeal to almost everyone. Stormkeep is from Colorado and apparently features a member of Blood Incantation, but this is old-school sword and shield melodic black metal with acoustic passages. HEAVY Dimmu Borgir...

    Two bands for your consideration...

    Vit - Black/Doom with folk influences full album http://vitmusic.bandcamp.com/album/- http://youtu.be/raHuBg4dddU This album is awesome. I recommend listening to the intro track, and also "The Ascension Ritual"... well worth the 14 minute investment. Pretty original stuff here, simple at...

    Panopticon - "Roads to the North" Black/Folk/Atmospheric/Death metal

    Anyone listen to this one yet? I think it's great. Black/Folk/Atmospheric/Melodic death with some pretty unusual instruments (Banjo, Mandolin, Resonator guitar, Dobro, according to metal-archives). pretty fast-paced with a ton of melody. all recorded by one guy. this fellow recorded the drums...

    RECOMMENDATION: High Tide

    i'm sure a few of you have heard of high tide. "sea shanties" is definitely their most popular album but i am way more into the s/t album. won't bother posting stuff from the debut okay... so this song will appeal to the folk/comus/psychedelia fans. absolutely love this shit...

    RECOMMENDATION: Pallbearer - "Sorrow and Extinction"

    Thought that this was probably already recommended by someone, but I did a few quick searches and came up with nothing- so here it is. EDIT: just found RiA's thread, but i feel like this needs some more exposure This is doom metal, and its excellent. top of my list for 2012, for sure. i...

    RECOMMENDATION: Vindensang - "Terminus: Rebirth in Eight Parts"

    Going to aim for 5 - 7 recommendations this week. If this is not prolific enough for you guys then someone else might as well take over. Heavy Agalloch influence on this one. Met the guy who is the mastermind behind this project when Moose and I were releasing tapes on our "label". He had put...

    Recommendation: ELDER - Dead Roots Stirring

    1. Gemini 2. Dead Roots Stirring 3. III 4. The End 5. Knot Going to kick this off with something that not everyone will love, but this is the sort of band that you should definitely check out if you enjoy Colour Haze. I am specifically focusing on their latest album, which is a lot better than...

    Talk about good music from the 80's

    People my age (18-25) usually just pass off the 80's as having COMPLETE SHIT for music. Now, this is pretty much entirely accurate. But there was some great stuff going on. A little bit infected by the whole new-age thing, but still incredible. I mean, that opening riff is pretty much genius I...
