A diverse haul from Laser's Edge:
Forbidden - "Twisted Into Form": after fell for "Forbidden Evil" I decided to give the second album a try. Another good thrash band to add into the collection. This version have two bonus tracks from the debut...I hate those idiotic bonus! Unreleased songs, live versions, b-sides, even demos are acceptable but songs that I already have in another album is plain
Last Chapter - "Path To Always": I got their debut mainly because Robert Lowe from Solitude Aeturnus does the vocals on it, but when I was making this haul I found the second (and last) album dirt cheap new and I couldn't resist to increase my doom collection. The vocalist Shawn Green sounds a lot like Lowe and the album is produced by John Perez (SA) and it's DOOM!
Chris Poland - "Chasing The Sun": I'm a sucker for guitar albums and I loved Chris debut, after hearing it as MP3s (courtesy of some UMOS member
) I found it cheap too and went for the kill. This version has less songs than the one I d/l but what the heck!
Mastermind - "Volume One": a band I knew already as MP3s and because of their last album. Now I found the debut (I love LE because they find lost copies of rare stuff all the time) and jump for it moreover at $7.00. This band is famous for sounding a lot like ELP but without keyboards!, instead the effects are done with a MIDI-guitar and is worth to be heard.
Mastermind - "III Tragic Symphony": also cheap the third album was available and so ended in the haul. Production in both albums is poor but I love to find rare albums for my collection from time to time.
Waterclime - "The Astral Factor": this is JD's fault he sweet talked me into buying this one...and the wacko was right
It's a neat album by Vintersorg new encarnation
Mr V. Very enjoyable light music nothing of dense ambience or dark black metal, lots of influence from 70's prog rock bands, jazz and folk, nothing retro and yet classic. Thanks Jonah!
