Just picked up the new Apocalyptica album. It's fuckin killer. Some very heavy-ass distorted metal numbers with fuckin Dave Lombardo doin the drums. Some very dark brooding classical-style songs. It is absolutely fantastic. I've been listeing to it since I got home over an our ago and it's great. I really think fans of classical music would definitely like this, also fans of more experimental metal that pushes the limits of metal. It's gold. There's only ONE song I don't like so much, the rest is fucking great.
COME ON!! HOW CAN YOU DO BETTER THAN A GUY PRACTICALLY SHREDDING ON A CHELLO! COME ON!
Suggested DL's would be:
-Prologue(Apprehension)
-Somewhere Around Nothing
-Resurrection
-Cohkka
The first three are heavier songs, with the last 1 being a softer, more brooding classical-style song.
I also bought Opeth's Damnnation which is extremely mellow and awesome to sit and relax too. Lovely.
