Spot on, they're an awesome live band! Shame about their set at Dragonforce being so small (it was 30 min or less in Sydney ). Nice guys too. Their new album's pretty bloody good too

Ah right. They got a slightly longer set in Melbourne I think. I was a bit late and missed about 20 mins of them, and I watched them for at least 30 more minutes after that. And hell yes they were good.

I just got yesterday the new De Lirium's Order cd "Diagnosis"
It's good death metal... maybe some trash (?) vibes... I'm not too good with these genre definitions.

but the music is cool.

Just came home from a progrock festival up here... HOLY FUCK! Some great underground bands you all should check out. Already mentioned above Moon Safari played and arranged the festival together with another "big" local act, Black Bonzo (Uriah Heep/Deep Purple styled rock).

Klotet: Bo Hansson/Camel/Änglagård-influenced instrumental prog.

Qoph: Prog/Psychadelic stoner with some November-like swedish songs. Fantastic singer! They're playing at Progday in North Carolina soon so any of you living nearby must see them!

check out a nutty prog band from Canada called "Unexpect", the album is called "In a flesh aquarium" amazingly insane....5/5

 

[Mr. Niel]

Dan, your voice is fucking brutal on the song "The Grand Design" It sounds a lot better than on the Threshold album!

We need a new death metal project

He kinda sounds like Åkerfeldt on that song, I thought.

I've got most of the promo...it doesn't sound mastered yet, but the production is pretty nice. This will be a cool album to check out.

A bit too much of the metal for my taste in prog.. but pretty good nonetheless

Olympos Mons - Medievil [2007]

Damn, I really don't like powermetal that much but I can't stop listening to this album. Songs like "One World", "The Emperors Return", "Medievil" just makes you sing along It's a good album and some songs are awesome.

4/5



Aeon - Rise To Dominate [2007]

Swedish death metal band Aeon makes no one dissapointed. They deliver wellplayed antichrist metal sounding much like Infestdead or Deicide.
I don't like this album as much as Bleeding the false which I think have better songs. Nevertheless, this is still a good album with highlights like "Luke 4:57" and "You Pray to Nothing".

A weak 4/5

 

[Tumn]

I think the new Aeon rules, I like it more than Bleeding so far, deserves a strong 4/5.

Woods of Ypres- The Pursuit of The Sun & Allure of the Earth
Black Metal, melodic parts. Great band from Ontario, Canada. Debut album was great. Next album due out soon.

[chrisdoig24k]

Good album, but I'd advocate Against The Seasons (debut) much more. A little less extreme range but it seems to work better I think. The song 'A Meeting Place And Time' on the myspace is from the first.

 

[Kiekan]

Woods are amazing, lol. I've known about them for some time now. I'm not a huge black metal fan, but these guys are really good.

 

[chrisdoig24k]

Local doomy band called Rainshadow. Been listening to them heaps recently just on their myspace but I'm gonna order their album ASAP.

The song 'Frost Bite' is my favourite

Camel - Harbour of Tears
camel is the best prog rock band ever. Andy Latimer is fucking god.

Now there's the truth of it! Not the best in my book, but agreed on every count on Latimer's divine powers.

Yearning - Merging into Landscapes [2007]

This was a suprise for me. Never heard them before, not that i remeber anyway. From Finland of course....like many good bands. This is kind of Atmospheric / Doom Metal as said on metal archives, spot on there. Both growl and normal vocals. I both like and disslike the singers voice.
But this album is one of the best albums I've heard in a while. Don't know what to say...just try them !

4/5

http://www.myspace.com/finyearning The song "October Rain" is from the new album.

 

[Kajor]

i recommend "Misha Calvin", either "Evolution" or "Evolution II"
GREAT GREAT HARD ROCK, he's a superb guitar player... and tony martin and ian parry on vocals

 

[banita]

Swallow The Sun - Hope
great death/doom band

 

[chrisdoig24k]

^ Agreed! My favourite might be the bonus track of the single, called These Low Lands.
