Beautiful acoustic and ambient work from these Portland fellows. Textured and moody, this album has mandatory replay value.
Agalloch - The White EP
BAND'S WEBSITE
MYSPACE
Ayreon - 01011001
MYSPACE
BAND'S WEBSITE
Is Ayreon capable of putting out a bad one? Another masterpiece to be digested slowly, over time.
Cradle of Filth - Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder
MYSPACE
BAND'S WEBSITE
Surprisingly excellent brutal black metal from these extreme gothic pioneers.
Cynic - Traced in Air
MYSPACE
BAND'S WEBSITE
Weird, undeniably progressive, and irreverently triumphant. Welcome back, Cynic.
Evergrey - Torn
MYSPACE
BAND'S WEBSITE
Heavy, dark, and progressive. Evergrey returns from a medicore exercise that was Monday Morning Apocalypse with this healthy muscular offering. About damn time, guys. \m/
Ihsahn - angL
MYSPACE
BAND'S WEBSITE
And yet another confirmation of the talent powerhouse that is Ihsahn. Stop expecting Emperor and learn to enjoy this thoughtful investigation into the realm of progressive music from one of the world's most interesting metal composers.
Opeth - Watershed
MYSPACE
BAND'S WEBSITE
Opeth birthed yet another sonic adventure. The musical landscape here is as irregular as they come, the fusion of different styles is frighteningly impressive.
Kalevala - Kudel' Belosnezhnogo L'na
MYSPACE
BAND'S WEBSITE
Not usually a folk metal fan, I was pleasantly immersed into this masterpiece of pastoral tales. Kalevala has a new fan.
Jeff Loomis - Zero Order Phase
MYSPACE
BAND'S WEBSITE
Loomis does Yngwie, heavier and better.
Testament - The Formation of Damnation
MYSPACE
BAND'S WEBSITE
Billy and the crew give us one. Finally. And it was worth the f*cking wait. With Skolnick back in the fold the band is tighter than ever with this Low/The Gathering hybrid.
