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...

I know that a few of you have already heard the album (thanks for giving me your honest opinions), but the label made their official announcement today. Because I am a longtime forum member, you must endure...
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...
The title says it all. What is this, 2004 or something?
You can stream the entire thing at http://noltem.bandcamp.com/album/mannaz and actually buy a CD copy if you so feel inclined.
The EP was premiered by Invisible Oranges (http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2015/07/noltem-mannaz/) this...
Apparently these guys are a big deal right now. The album is pretty fucking good, give it a listen.

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...
does anyone else care about this? I am getting pretty goddamned excited, especially after reading the MetalSucks review.

I mean, that's a pretty solid review. Comments?

This just in! Ulver is rereleasing their early material! As a boxset! Again!
Well I'll still definitely be buying the CD edition. Bergtatt is one of my top 10 metal albums but I think that it has a...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

weird
for the european folks who may not know what bonnaroo is, it is basically a huge hippie music festival. in recent years they have had radiohead, tool, and the police as the headliners, but opeth is...
