Alcest - Souvenirs d'un autre monde

One of the best CDs ever (for me). Beautiful atmospheric Post-Rock with Doom Metal influences.
No wonder, Alcest has been a Black Metal band before.

If you like Sigur Rós, you'd probably love Alcest!

I must check out Sigur Rós then, because I loved Souvenirs...

Molested - Blod Draum. Oystein Garnes Brun's death metal band before Borknagar. Fucking amazing that's all I can say. The EP that was released after this album, Stromvold, sadly wasn't as good as the album. Anyways, this album is awesome. Really raw old school death metal, fast paced, amazing riffs and melody (yes, I said raw death with melody). Highly recommended.

Great one man melodic doom from Norway. Imagine Katatonia's Brave Murder Day if it were released this year.

Especially the song Nymphaea...

Saw them last night opening for the mighty Jucifer, and this one man project blew me away...

An Ampeg bass amp, two half stacks, one mic, one Les Paul, one 8-string Rickenbacker, a pile of effects pedals, etc, and ONE GUY.
