Cruz Del Sur is on a roll!

Yeah it really is a cool pure blooded metal album. This review did the trick for me.
MetalReview.com - Metal Review of Crescent Shield - The Last of My Kind

I know people around here tend to be a little less enthusiastic about the Pharaoh album than I am, but I dig the hell out of it. A definitel top 10 entry.


Great review. I agree with most of it, including the production part. It does tend to be a bit low - but the sound itself is fine...just the volume. No complaints other than the next album sounding loud as fuck, lol...but I have PLENTY of albums that are a lot worse.
 
I'm almost an exclusive bourbon and scotch guy, but tonight it's red wine. Bottle left over from a party we had.
 
Crescent Shield is a solid band, nothing more. Although I like where their heads are at, the songs just aren't that memorable (and I've listed to the disc a half dozen times).

Antiquus, after one listen, doesn't seem to warrant a second.

Pharaoh is another band whose songs fail to really grab hold. I own both discs, but can't say I reach for either one very often.

Zod

Yeah, but, you're tastes are at odds with everyone elses. :loco:
 
Cruz del Sur is easily the best label for 2006 (in metal, of course)

Antiquus and Crescent Shield are in my personal top 3, the new Hammers of Misfortune is a descent album (although I think is not better than August Engine) and I am waiting the new Pharaoh to check it out.

I have to go with I Hate Records, personally.
