Official "Song of the Week" 2013 thread

[Metal_Camden]

\m/ Been enjoying this lately.

 

[Oblivion Ocean]

While I thought the last Alice in Chains album was pretty good and did not tarnish the legacy, I am really enjoying the new one a lot more for some reason.

I like that Coheed & Cambria song.... Great lyrics....

C&C's catalogue is a lyrical goldmine. I sat with the albums and went from beginning to end with the lyrics in front of me, and it was quite an experience.

FOR shame none of you have posted this yet!

Killer band from Switzerland. Ben from Sybreed used to be the singer, but I love the new guy too. The video says release date in fall of 2012, but it actually came out April of 2013.

Here's another really good band that often gets overlooked (something I've been guilty of with Dagoba too).

Dagoba - The Great Wonder

I can't put my finger on it, but something about that reminded me of Animosity era Sevendust. It was pretty fucking awesome! Definitely going to look these guys up.

Rising Dream - Confession

Melodic power metal from Croatia with a little melodeath vocals thrown in. Apparently the female singer is new, she replaces a mediocre male vocalist they had judging from their other vids. Being a looker (yeah I'm a shameless pig) is nice too. :Smokedev:

 

[KingsGene]

Nosound - 'Wherever You Are' from their latest release Afterthoughts. For fans of atmospheric rock, a la Anathema, Riverside, Porcupine Tree, etc

AS thinks that the one song per week limit is for bitches.

Oh fuck, I'm an idiot.

That was really good. Her voice is very powerful, imo.

This thread is going to end up costing me a fortune.

 

[Mardoch]

I keep forgetting that the actual release date for this album was in 2013, since I picked it up at the fest last year.



IMO these guys don't get enough love.

I always prefered Ralf singing in this more polished style, like when he was in Gamma Ray. This song is a dead set catchy, melodic power metal masterpiece.

Sounds kinda like a djenty Soilwork. I like it. Checking out the full album now.

I stumbled across these guys while putzing around on eMusic. I like it. Nice and melodic and catchy as hell.

Cardiant - "Thought's Inception" off of Verge.
