What are you listening to?

[The Man]

Agalloch - A Celebration for the Death of Man...

Probably Agalloch's best album. Beautiful stuff.

[Nominus Experse]

Lightning Bolt's Colossus from their album Earthly Delights.
Rocking noise at its finest.

Also, The Man, can you send me a link to Mantle: I only have their Ashes Against the Grain album.

[The Man]

yeah I'll upload it soon

Falls of Rauros - Contemplation of the Forgotten

Listening to this you'd swear it was from the Pacific Northwest but they're actually from Maine, a pretty unusual locale for folk/black metal bands. Anyway it's good stuff. I think I like their second album better though. Can't wait for the third release which is going to have A. from Panopticon on drums; he's an amazing drummer.

Golden Glove Humility :: Minute 36

These guys are a local band from my town, and they're awesome. I'm in love with some of this guy's lyrics, it's really 'Edgar Allen Poe-ish', except modern. The style of music might not be for everyone, but these guys definitely deserve to get a little recognition.

Coldplay - X&Y. I love this song, even though I don't really understand it. But Viva la Vida is my favorite by Coldplay.

[The Man]

Black Star - Thieves in the Night

This album is rightfully regarded as a hip-hop classic. With Mos Def and Talib Kweli each giving some of their best performances ever over some superb production, how could it not be?

[razorrozar7]

Three Doors Down- Kryptonite. I. LOVE. THIS. SONG.

[Nominus Experse]

Failure's Undone from their Magnified album.


It's not "Fantastic Planet", but hell, what can actually match that moment in space-rock?

[The Man]

Gorguts - Faceless Ones

Simply one of the most bizarre and intense death metal albums ever recorded. I know of nothing else that sounds like Obscura.

[Bunny]

My House On Mars by Ayreon

[Bastian]

Falls of Rauros

A Tolkien reference. And a screen name my ex used to go by.
I gave it a listen. . . I like the music, but I don't care for the vocal technique. Then again, I don't really enjoy the vocal techniques in any variation of metal.

As for me, I've gotten into Pinback, Straylight Run, and Taking Back Sunday only recently, admittedly rather late in the game. Ah well.

[The Man]

yeah extreme metal isn't known for pretty vocals. it's generally a statement against the overcommercialisation of the music industry. it took me awhile to get into the vocal style but now I can't really imagine most of these bands with clean vocals.

Drudkh - Коли Пломінь Перетворюється на Попіл [When the Flame Turns to Ashes]

Ripping my vinyl of this. Unfortunately my turntable has decided it wants to vary its speed for no apparent reason. My previous rip had a couple of skips because I had too many programs open. I'm probably going to have to do some savvy editing to get a rip of this that sounds good.

One of Ukraine's finest bands for sure; I've got four of their LPs now and the other three are on the way to me. I put off buying most of their albums for far too long given how much I've listened to them. (I had this album, Forgotten Legends and Microcosmos on CD before getting the LPs, but didn't get any of their other stuff until recently).

[Logie]

Cosmic Love - Florence and the Machine.

Fell in love with this song after hearing it during a love scene in the tv series V.

[leader of mortals]

Weezer- (If you're wondering if I want you to) I want you to

Makes me nod my head in a way that only Weezer can make me.

[The Man]

Bill Hicks - Goodbye You Lizard Scum

One of my favourite comedians ever.
