Just discovered these guys about a week ago. Fantastic swedish band with a stunning new album.

Can hear a few influences: Katatonia, APC and Tool being notable.

Would really like to hear your thoughts...

You'd probably have better luck over at the Butterfly Effect board ... if there is one that is?

I am kinda liking it. Entered impressive but continues a little bit boring... I can hear more Novembre somehow than the other bands mentioned.

Edit: The second and third songs are much better. Diggin it...

So what are you saying? Katatonia fans are close-minded and wouldn't even listen to The excellent Butterfly Effect either hmmmm...

 

[BlueSky]

I wouldn't exactly call either excellent. They're a bastardized version of much better bands.

Sorry for tainting your elitist ears...

Hey, you're the one who chose to take my advice the wrong way with a snappy reply. After that it's fair game for brutal honestly.

David Castillo mixed Imago and I also did some work for them that you probably will hear more about in the near future.

Do you have any favourite song of the album?

That Butterfly Effect song was stone cold boring. i'll check Minora later.

 

[Code Against The Code]

I like it, don't love it. Enjoy one song on the album. Vocals seriously remind me of Taproot.

I liked it alot,thanks for sharing. I really needed some good new music

 

[insidethefall]

Minora definetly sounds like the modern Katatonia stuff, very dark and produced rather well it seems. The vocals aren't bad but nowhere near jonas. I enjoyed these tracks, thank you!

Minora is a good band. All the tracks i heard from myspace are cool songs, but the music isn't that dark. The singer has a nice voice with a great range, he sounds emotive in a pleasant way, without those annoying radio rock/post grunge mannerisms. The piano/keyboards add a nice touch to the songs and the guitar riffs are far from awesome but still decent. I'll keep an eye on this band, it's definitely worth checking out if you want a more accessible version of bands like Anathema, A Perfect Circle or Tool.

Thnaks a lot OP

 

[Schism]

Awesome, happy to share

 

[stefan86]

Decent band. Sounds like a popified Katatonia.

 

[FlawedCoil82]

It should be no secret that I really like what I have heard of Minora so far. Is the album available for purchase in America anywhere? I've done a few searches and came up with nothing.

 

[Code Against The Code]

Anyone hear Frank Default's remix of Disconnected? Masterpiece and much better than the original!

 

[Heliotropic_Rose]

not to be a dick, but this band sounds uber generic, with lots of overt "feeling" type lyrics, reminds me of chevelle and linkin park

EDIT: and uhh LOL, listening to "between the window glasses" and dude totally ripped lyrics from Lateralus and Parabola

"celebrating this chance to be alive

Someone call Tool's lawyers.
