Guess what came in the mail today?

[Valerie]

I know a place you could get it in large , and you could get the hoodie in medium.

Thats where I got my Orchid Shirt.. Its officially liscened and all. I never wear XL's, I was so happy to find a place with smaller sizes.

I'll probably think of something creative and take a pair of scissors to it. But I don't think there's that much to do with it The pictures on it are big

haha yes it is. I always thinkg it's "shrub" for some damn reason. I don't know why.

WTF? haven't heard of any of those bands...

someone asked me on another board to give a brief description of each band. May as well copy and paste it here.

Zero Hour: techy heavy prog metal. Almost like meshuggah but more melodic, not as heavy, and with clean vocals. Very cool.

Evergrey: kind of a mix of power metal, prog, and maybe tinges of goth.

Karaboudjan: avante guarde/experimental music. Really strange things like chickens clucking, pan drums, and distorted bass guitar. Oh and telephones. One of the million projects of mastermind Dan Swano.

Neurosis: ugly music. a bit painful to listen to. The personification of negative emotion imho. It just sounds like a bad day, like hatred brewing inside. This CD is a bit more post rock-ish than earlier stuff, and has some really beautiful moments as well.

Soilwork: thrashy melodic death metal. This CD comes from a time when their music was actually enjoyable haha.

Pan.Thy.Monium: experimental death metal. In a lot of ways similar to Karaboudjan, which makes sense, since this is anotheR Dan Swano project. This one is heavier than the other one though.

Nordvargr: dark/black ambient. minimalist drones and plenty of terrifying soundscapes.

Solefald: folky experimental black metal. This band just rocks.

Embraced: melodic death metal. Perhaps a bit more progressive than most bands of the style. They disbanded long ago though.

Ritual: prog rock/metal with pop sensibilities. Catchy fun stuff!

Desiderii Marginis: dark ambient. Not as dark as Nordvargr, sometimes quite pretty too.

Maath: another dark ambient artist. More minimal than Desiderii Marginis, less melodic. this is just one continuous mood.

Maudlin Of The Well: come on now, EVERYBODY'S favorite experimental death/prog/jazz band! No one sounds like Maudlin Of The Well.

Boards of Canada: glitchy electronic music/post rock. pretty stuff.

 

[CAIRATH]

It's nice that The End has expanded to carrying non-metal as well. They are my favourite online store.

 

[Manbient]

Definitely one of mine too.

My VERY favorite though is Aquarius Records. Those guys are fucking AWESOME. A bit slow and things are often backordered, but they literally have like... the most amazing sense of underground/obscure styles of music, particularly drone.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Solefald is really, really great.

just filling a few nostalgic holes in my collection.

[Manbient]

Kayo Dot does :Spin:

cheater even though i could make a case against that, even citing the band themselves which thought their developing sound required a name change to suit it.
