The Never Ending Now Playing Thread

[NovembersDirge]

you can listen to 3 tracks (Nattväsen, Mina Fäders Hall, Vetrarmegin) from the new album on their myspace:

which i'm doing right now

edit: it's still not my cup of tea, but it sounds kinda more fruity than the previous release... i think i might even like this album

Thus far my favorite track is Nattsjäl-Drömsjäl. But that one isn't up yet. Great violin and vocal harmonies.

Nothin' so metal as harmonized voice and violins!

harmonized voice? i don't know about that particular track but i really hope it does sound harmonized. Because the vocals is what has always ruined this band for me, every time i listen to them i try to think the vocals away, because i really like the music The acoustic album is therefore my fav. because it's been saved by a nice female singing

 

[NovembersDirge]

Oh, I love their vocals. They're totally great. Seriously, some of the best sort for the genre, IMO.

NP: Leverage // Circus Colossus

Oof, a terrible extension of cock rock.

uhm... i got this recommended by a friend, i didn't know this band before, so i cannot compare it with their previous works... But this one was quite ok, not mind-blowing or anything. But i will definitely have to give it a few more listens before i can form an opinion and your own thoughts on it?

Someone recommended it to me, but I haven't heard it yet.

I talked with the guy from Quadrivium. Nice Wintry Grey cover. You should check the Ulver tribute too....really interesting.

Hollenthon // Opus Magnum // On The Wings Of A Dove
(absolutely amazing operatic death/black band which I can't understand I didn't fall completely for first time I heard them)

i saw them live one year ago without knowing them at all, they played before tyr that night. i only knew schirenc's other group, pungent stench.
the day after i ran to the pc and downloaded the entire discography

 

[Elvina]

another new discovery for me:
Sun of the Blind // Skullreader

this is another project of Darkspace member Zhaaral. While i cannot listen to Darkspace (really too much for my ears), this is exactly how i like it great stuff! goes directly into my top 2009 releases. i hope more will come out of this project...

Woods of Ypres - Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth.

I never heard an entire album from this guys before, just a couple of tracks that did nothing for me. It's very painful to hear this. If I need to resume it, it's like a 3rd rate Agalloch rip off (which it's a 2nd rate Ulver's Bergtatt rip off anyway, but enjoyable enough) with very few 'new' elements added on it.

Maybe I should check their last albums looking for some improvement, who knows.

That Hollenthon album is great. I liked a lot.

David Bowie - Segue: Baby Grace (A Horrid Cassette)
Outside (1994)

Awesome album, just discovered it a few days ago. I love the dark cyberpunkish futuristic atmosphere that the album concept is about. Great cd to listen to during those long drives to home in the middle of the night.

 

[Erik Erna]

Been listening to a lot of 2nd Suicide (out of Finland). In particular, their Last Of Kin EP, this is definately a melodic death band that is going places.

Hollenthon // Opus Magnum // On The Wings Of A Dove
(absolutely amazing operatic death/black band which I can't understand I didn't fall completely for first time I heard them)

You disappoint me! Hollenthon is awesome, I've been a fan since "With Vilest of Worms to Dwell". Opus Magnum was the album of the year of 2008 IMO .

Some classmates: Doing a very boring presentation, they really don't have a clue on how to present and they don't know how to speak. Rubbish rubbish rubbish, when are they going to finish? uke:

Blind Guardian: I'm Alive

Mein Gott it's been a long time since I last listened to BG, I miss this CD, their best IMO

OK, my turn:

Berit M. Oskal - Niillasa- Garen Anna.

I would really REALLY love to be able to find her CD in the US, but I have a feeling I won't be able to without paying the import pricing (and things from Norway are EXPENSIVE!!). It's called Mátki. I may just have to write her and say 'Hey. I'm a fan. How do I get your stuff despite living on the other side of the world?'.
