Vesania[/b] - Firefrost Arcanum: "In The Nightside Eclipse"-era Emperor meets Behemoth. Epic brilliance from Poland.

Interrresting... will check it out


I'll take this oppurtunity to recomend Siebenbürgen's debut album Loreia. It has a vampire gimmick that tends to get a bit cheesy at times but it really gives a dark and "medival feeling" with female chants and most fitting raspy vocals. The songs are slow and somber with folky riffs; perfect autumn music if you ask me.

I'll second the Depressive Age and Attention Deficit recommendations, two great bands that taste great together.... er... just two great bands (damn commercials!!). Anyone who hasn't heard it should find Depressive Age "Companero Song". That song just plain rules. For Attention Deficit, "Unclear: Innarticulate Thoughts" is a great one.

Mahavishnu Orchestra.... The Inner Mounting Flame or Birds of Fire.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

The whole world knows about Mahavishnu Orchestra.They are definetally "famous" and they rule indeed. Bill Cobham is DA god of percussion.

Ravencult are indeed great (that what i say, not a black metal fan at all, i just like some stuff) old school black metal with amazing riffs. They supported Arcturus when they played here. Except their official website, someone may download sound clips here :

Transmission0 - 0
Kind of a Cult of Luna/Neurosis/early Isis mixed w/ Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason with some Kid A style interludes.

The Amenta - Occasus
Death metal w/ some atmospheric sampling and keys give this album kind of a post-apocalyptic feel.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Mahavishnu wins. McLaughlin wins. I have all of their albums and I agree, they're not obscure at all.

So did it not strike you the same way, or haven't you gotten around to it yet?

 

[Demonspell]

I heard one of their songs before, sounded like Porcupine Tree gone post-hardcore. As for my own obscure recommendations, I'm working on them, hopefully this thread will be on the front page for weeks to come...

I have been trying to track these two down for a couple weeks. I think I saw them both at Dark Horizons Records the other day when I was looking through the catalog. Good deal!

MEZZROW
A Swedish thrash band, released a few demos and then an album in 1990 called Then Came the Killing, check it out. I wasn't sure if I should post this because I wasn't sure if they kicked ass until just now. They've listened to Testament more than once. Not much innovation or new stuff, just great thrash

CHAINSAW
www.chainsaw.nl (I think), check the website out and I will be very disappointed if you haven't erdered the album within a week.

I'll still stand by my praise of Winterhawk. Especially the live album There And Back Again. Just classic late 70's huge, epic, guitar-slingin quality hard rock. The way I like it.
