Yes, Autumblaze are good. I saw them live when they were on tour with The 3rd And The Mortal. Got both the new album and their new mini-CD, but "Bleak" is still my favourite.

Would you recommend "Lighthouses"? What direction are they taking with this MCD? I'm not very fond of the last album and hope for a step back to the sound of "Bleak"...

Then I guess "Lighthouses" will disappoint you. It's not drastically different from "Mute boy sad girl". The songs are relatively mellow, with acoustic guitars and all that.

Autumnblaze is amazing, especially the song "Nature", it is soo eerie and unbelievebly different than anything you've prolly heard

Me too.... I think the other 2 albums (bleak and Mute Boy) is good as well, but they have a couple of songs which I skip each time I listen to 'em, where when I listen to Dämenelbentragödie I hear all the songs.... The best work from Markus B. however is Paragon of Beauty, their album "Comfort Me, Infinity" was probably the second best in 2001 (yeah guess what number one is???)

and btw: No-one answered my question: anyone who knows what happened to Monesol's(Markus B) new project "Shivertrip"????

Hello

We have just recorded two brandnew songs with Shivertrip and I guess, we'll record our first album in January 2003. The release date will be sometime in spring 2003.
