These are for the oh so sophisticated NFU:
Nocte Obducta - "Nektar I & II" - Avantgarde Black Metal, to me these guys are BM's Opeth.
Lunar Aurora - "Mond" - Black Metal, genuinely icy and uncompromising.
Ulver - "Blood Inside" - no comment, just totally way out.. ulverific!
These are for the 'Commonalty'
:
Disillusion - "Back To Times Of Splendor" - Melodic Prog-Death, innovative, epical, captivating (once you get used to the fact that the singer sounds like SOAD). The title track has one of the best violin themes and opening riffs EVER!
Dark Suns - "Existence" - Melancholic Prog-Metal, like a darker Pain Of Salvation. Takes quite some time to grow, but it's well worth it.
Volbeat - "The Strentgh, The Sound, The Songs" - Elvis-Metal, crazy shit, but I love it!
Anathema - "A Fine Day To Exit" - My all time favourite, and to all the people who complain about it being too pop or too Pink Floyd, bla, bla: eat me!
