[Krilons Resa]

What's yours Doomcifer?

strictly metal/rock based or everything?

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Weiland

Maybe my favourite album ever still

also:

Wuthering Heights- "Far from the Madding Crowd"
Yob- "Catharsis"

just to name three. I can think of probably a dozen or so off the top of my head that are the musical equivalents to a religous experience for me.

An album that moves my soul? Well, to be honest the best is always, without a doubt, that little fucker you have to wrestle into a corner and beat the shit out of until you like it. Hands down. In addition, a moving album is one that is impossible to listen to in spurts. For me, if I put in a CD that truly does something for me, it's from start to finish. Even if I want to listen to a single track, it's impossible because I fall in love with the CD all over again. Unfortunately, what's moving to me is, for the most part, completey boring to everyone else. However, I'll give it a shot and maybe you'll enjoy these (even though you've probably heard them all)

Insomnium- Since the Day It all Came down
Seriously, these guys are the fucking saviors of melodeath. I picked this up hoping it would keep me busy until Dark Tranquillity put forth new material, but it has surpassed my Gothenburg saviors. Tons of acoustic guitars and the likes.
Insomnium- Disengagement

Alice In Chains- Jar of Flies
Amazing acoustic work. Hey, maybe you haven't heard of it...
Alice In Chains- Rotten Apple

Wintersun- s/t
Side project of Ensiferum front man (now main project) Really rejuvinates melodeath with this release. A ton of great melodies and one of the few bands left in Finland capable of using a slow emotional solo
Wintersun- The Death and the Healing
Wintersun- Beautiful Death
I also hate giving you just one sample of the CD, because these truly deserve to be heard in their entirety. Wow, I guess that's all I can really think of that you might not have heard.

Obvious ones you've probably heard:
Opeth- The Ghost Reveries
Agalloch- The Mantle
Dark Tranquillity- Damage Done
Dark Tranquillity- The Gallery
Summoning- Oath Bound

^Let me know if any of those are unfamiliar


Honorable Mentions-

Insomnium- In the Halls of the Waiting
Really great, but a few weak tracks. Amazing for a debut and as you can see, I think they've improved. Still in my top 10.

In Flames- Soundtrack to Your Escape
What the fuck? Did he seriously just say that? Yes, I did. I like this and I think it's a good release. Everyone thinks I'm a shithead for it, but I think there are quite a few good songs on here, but not enough to make me have a religious experience while listening. Of course, Anders is pretty shitty, but I can still get by.


Also people, it'd probably be a good idea to put a link in your rec's and write a little something about it. After all, these are albums that MOVE YOUR SOUL!!!

Let me know what you think man

Oh, and don't flame me for liking "shitty" stuff.

 

[Trylakos]

while Death and the Healing is an aawesome song, its probably not the best one to use to introduce people into that band

 

[Zack]

Hmm, well it's my favorite. I think it represents the slow side of the CD really well, but you're right, I'll throw a fast one in.

 

[Sadguru]

strictly metal/rock based or everything?

Everything!

 

[Doom]

This is pretty much just a "name your favourite albums" thread, for me at least, since I guess that is what I look for in an album most of the time. Well, for an album to become an all-time favourite anyway.

Songs of Moors and Misty Fields
Pale Folklore
Stormcrowfleet

 

[Tranquillian]

Hammerheart
Pale Folklore
Dance of december souls

 

[addae]

...hope not to get lynched:

COF - Dusk and her Embrace
Kveldssanger
Where at night...

 

[Doom]

...hope not to get lynched:

COF - Dusk and her Embrace
Kveldssanger
Where at night...

Obviously the last two choice are utterly fantastic...but I like that CoF album too. Definitely their best release. I imagine it might be liked a bit more around here if people gave it a chance too.

EDIT: probably not actually. But I like it.
