Evinta was just released May 31. Has anyone on here heard this album? Described as a "re-working" of some older material in commemoration of their 20th anniversary. It's symphonic/orchestral. In the past, members on here have been very astute in their critique of MDB, thus my reasoning for the...

Anyone hear, "The Moon and the Nightspirit"? Band from Hungary that plays neo-folk. Excellent songwriting with female and male lead vocals. Reminds of Tenhi and Emyperium, but not as depressing. I envision a bunch of naked gypsy's dancing around a fire naked. The album's called "Oesefurr...

For various reasons: Anders Ro Nielson, Tais Pedersen, Peter Poulson and Nikolaj Borg have left the band. Saturnus now consists of founding members--Thomas A.G. Nielson and Brian Hanson. Also, guitarist Rune Stiassny is now a member. Future members and concert dates will be announced soon. WoW...

So, what do you think? Like or meh? I think it's a solid album. The song "abandoner" sounds like something Yorke and Radiohead would do. Not surprising, since in an interview, Mr. Wilson said he"truly admires In Rainbows. Some have said it "sounds like part PT, Bass Communion, No-Man all the...

Syknerds keyboard player Billy Powell died in his home today January 28. Powell called 911 and when paramedics arrived they found him unresponsive. Apparently a heart attack was the cause. American Southern rock and blues have lost a wonderful and talented musician. Guitarist Garry Rossington is...

David Gilmour. Has anyone heard this? I've been told it's a very professional package in every way. You read reviews from some people who just don't seem to get it. Hence, the review just flat-out sucks. That being said, those who frequent this forum, may have a better idea of what the 2cd-2dvd...

"Communion" is one slab of excellent contemporary death/metal. They use a full orchestra and 80 person choir. No cheese or overly bombastic. The orchestra is used in a sublime, yet toned down way. Some of the riffs and chord progressions reminds me of something Devin Townsend would do...

I could'nt find anything posted on here about this band. Considered a "side" project for Jonas and Frederick. Any thoughts on the album "Grey Dawn"?:heh:

I pulled out my copy of "Lead and Aether" by Skepticism from 1997 and in the cd inlay, there is a page for credits in the making of the album. I quote, "Graphic Design and complete layout by Paul Kuhr." The obvious question for me is, Paul did you do this design and layout for Skepticism?:heh:

By Mournful Congregation is destroying me. This is nothing short of a masterpiece, up there with The Pale Haunt Departure for all-time favorites. This is considered funeral/doom, but I never liked that term, I prefer extreme/doom. Any thoughts?:heh:

How many of you like this band? For me, although their doom styles are different Esoteric and Skepticism touch something deep within me, as really no other bands do. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's because of the strong musical integrity and/or demeanor of honesty that pours thru...

This thing is fuckin' dehabilitating, especially to first time listeners. If they can get passed the first few bars of the music. "All hope is completely lost" on this album. I know it's been awhile since it's release(2001) but, I know some who think it's the best album in the genre. I don't...

Considered pagan/folk band. Have many instruments, hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, violin, flutes and I probably forgot a couple. Infuse an excellent compositional structure in a fairly bland "Viking/Folk" genre. Shows me that metal is music than can incorporate endless possibilities and different...

Give me some real and true musical opinion. Which "Death" album should I get, "Individual Thought Patterns" or "Symbolic"? Simple question, but give a complete answer. Thanx in advance!!

Using the criteria, you find important, what is the "best" album length for you: 40,45,50,60,70 minutes? For me, it seems 45-55 minutes is best. Anything longer just becomes a meandering musical miasma. Although, some bands use a longer album length to convey the musical theme. Discuss. Exp...

See these threads everywhere, thought it would be "cool" to do this. Any genre should be considered. For me, have this "melodic neo-classical" thing goin' on; Dark Tranquility- "The Gallery" followed by, BBM-"Around the Next Dream." Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Gary Moore. Next::kickass:

Downloaded this from Emusic, and must say it's an impressive "modern" rock album. The drumming is brilliant. Concise songwriting. Got that Leonerd Cohen-Nick Cave vibe goin'on. Any one heard this?:u-huh:

Picked this up the other day and whoa!!. Not for everyone I'm sure,but you can't ignore the importance of this band's music. Paved the way for bands such as: Interpol and Radiohead. If your at the edge of the abyss, you might not want to listen. If you like it or not, you just can't escape it's...

Is this album worth a buy? Does it have re-play value? Some I know are claiming it could be the best thing they've done. Curious as to what people on this forum think.

Been listening to this for a couple days now and I think it's one of the best Non-Metal albums I've heard all year. Could be categorized as sub-pop. West African music, jazz, americana and folk is what I hear. Sam Beam in an interview said, "I like to write songs that are descriptive, rather...
