Malajube: Ursuline
Excellent band from Montréal, I call it 'avant-garde Indie Rock' , recommended.
NP: Novembre - Novembrine Waltz
One of, if not the most underrated band of all time, IMO. Everything they do musically takes you to another place filled with melancholy yet seemingly with a ray of hope.
i'm not so much into the genre they do, but i have seen them live and they are a very intense experience!
when i went to see them i was with my best friend, who is a fan of them, and above all a great fan of poisonblack which played there the same night.
the headliner was lacuna coil
we stayed inside the venue till poisonblack's concert and then went outside to smoke and wait for them to come out the venue.
we were tired and bored to death. and even if we tried to escape lacuna coil we had to listen to whole concert from the outside.
novembre were outside too, talking and drinking. then the bassist came to us and asked a cigarette and started to talk with us (they are italian like me) and told us they got lost in the city, exactly like us, because we had downloaded the same wrong travel instructions from the same site (something like google maps) so we started to laugh because it was funny....then the whole group came to have a talk, and we spent all the remaining time of lacuna's show speaking outside the venue, protesting against lacuna coil
in the end one of the guys asked me what the hell was doing there because i was wearing a morbid angel t-shirt and looked like a fish outside water. in fact i was....i was there only because my best friend.
they are very nice and friendly guys, we had a great time!
First of all, thank you so very much for sharing that awesome story of meeting Novembre. That must have been quite an experience; especially the coincidence with the wrong map directions. haha. Ok, that makes is two bands you have seen that I am completely in love with. First it was the almighty Agalloch and now Novembre. I can't begin to tell you how much I envy you for those experiences. lol. I seriously haven't gotten a chance to see a band that makes me totally melt; well besides Cynic and when Opeth played stuff from My Arms, Your Hearse. But other than that, just been good bands...but not epic ones a la Vintersorg.
Mr. The Defiance: You will be VERY happy with the new Rhapsody!
Agalloch - She Painted Fire Across The Skyline
Heard about this band for a long time, but never actually sat down and listened. It's quite good, but I only have Pale Folklore. Now I know there's some big fanboys of Agalloch here, so I want to know where I should go from here. Which are their best albums and such...
i was forgetting...
give the time to the albums to grow into you...it will take a little time and many listening, but believe me, you will never get tired of agalloch!
it will become a sort of addiction...
i've meet sooooo many people "addicted to agalloch addiction"
Agalloch's live gig last year in march was the second best metal concert in my entire life (only topped by Arcturus). It was really magical and mind-blowing experience!! Here's The Lodge Dismantled i filmed during the gig...

it was truly brilliant performance! Although to be honest, now it went down to the third personal best metal gig ever, after it has been topped by Opeth 2 days ago...
