Has anyone else heard EverEve?
I discovered them a while back. In 1998 they released an amazing album called "Stormbirds". It is goth metal with some touches of black metal. Considering I normally don't like those genres, the fact that I put it as the best for the year should speak volumes for the quality of the album. They have other albums, "Seasons" is pretty good as is "Regret", but not nearly as good as "Stormbirds". Their new one "E-Mania" kind of sucks; they're changing their style to some kind of techno/metal hybrid. Bleh!!
Anyway, the point of my post is to find out if others think as highly of this album as I do, to recommend it to those who haven't heard it, and to find out if anyone knows of any comparable-quality albums in the same style. I imagine people will recommend Opeth; I've listened to some of their stuff. Great music, but I couldn't take the vocals. I'll give them another shot, though, and see if they grow on me.
Any others?
