New music (non-Enchant)

[EnchantWeb]

Hi all,

what albums do you recommend for this year ?

I'd say check out the new and very emotional FISH album '13th Star' if you haven't already done so, it's brilliant.

Also, EVERON will release their long awaited album 'North' on May 2nd. It's excellent as well, probably their best album so far.

Take care

First thing that comes to my mind: the live DVD from Sylvan.
Then I'm looking forward to the new Moonsafari.
And this year already has one highlight: Moongarden - Songs From The Lighthouse.

More to come.

Hi all, I have been viewing postings here for a long, long time. I just haven't posted yet but here I go and I think for a real good reason. There is a band that has been around for awhile that deserves some recognition. THey get compared to Enchant and Dream Theater a lot. I don't know if I agree with the DT comparison but Enchant for sure.
They are releasing 2 CDs of older material from Retrospet records. They have 2 current CD's out now. Invisible Reign is the CD that I think is amazing and you guys really need to check them out. THey do have a myspace site as well as a website but it doesn't seem to be updated that often.

Thanks for your time everyone!!!

the new Ours album drops on April 15th..FINALLY..it's been over 6 years in the making. It's a terrific album..the arrangements and production are superb. "The Worst Things Beautiful" is about as catchy a song they've ever done and I can gurantee you'll hear all year.

Go hear it:

Thanks for the tip, tulpa! I'll definitely give them a listen later when I have some time.

Don't be a stranger around here! The Enchant forums have gotten a little quiet, so feel free to make some noise.

If you want to try something a little different, check out "Narrow Stairs", by Death Cab for Cutie. Great indie pop, with some progressive, electronic, and even krautrock elements. Very good if you like stuff that's very catchy and melodic, but also experimental.

And I second most of Soundscape's recommendations, especially Gutter Twins and Mars Volta. Haven't heard the new Ours yet, but I'd imagine it's awesome.

I'm also really hoping the new Dredg will finally be coming out this year. That would be quite nice.

Opeths watershed is a masterpiece!!!

Quite a few people around here are into Within The Walls by Lycanthia

I'm always happy to spread the word, let me know what you think.

Awesome group I just discovered......

 

[FireMarshal]

You guys should check out MGMT. Pretty good stuff, a small bit different.

Well I submit here something not especially progressive but very cool and enjoyable to listen : Dialogue, this dutch 3-piece band is a fair mix between Extreme, G'N'R and some more dark bands like Tool, Stone Temple Pilots, some very cool guitar riffs and some catchy choruses - http://www.myspace.com/dialoguetheband hope you'll like

 

[slowhand]

the last "new" tunes for me:
Testament - formation of damnation
Sylvan - live DVD "posthumous silence" (the 5.1 mix is not very good but the stereomix rules)
Mötley Crue: saints of los angeles (no joke!)
Bloc Party: a weekend in the city
Biffy Clyro: puzzle
