[Naked Gackt]

Make sure you don't just give a quick, spammy, one sentence reply to this thread, makesure you at least give a little bit fo detail on the song you're listening to.

Artist: Gazette
Song: D.L.N

I think this is one of the better songs of the album but it'd probably be seen as a pretty average track if it was on Disorder instead. It's very acoustic sounding and has a bit of a haunting quality about it, a nice song,smoething Gazette seem to be able to pull of very well but they seem to try this kind of thing out very rarely.
7/10

[The Man]

Electric Wizard - Mind Transferal

They're often called the heaviest band of all time, and while I'm not entirely sure I can agree with that assessment, they're definitely one of the heaviest doom metal bands in existence. This is a bonus track to their Dopethrone album, often regarded as their masterpiece; it's a lengthy jam totaling over ten minutes. And it's pretty damn hypnotic. It also has a fairly amusing hidden track tacked onto the end, making fun of religious wackos, which is always a plus.

Drop Dead Gorgeous | The Show Must Go On;

A very nice song, from a very good band. I love the lyrics, in one of the main parts. It's so nice, and very cleverly put together. Overall, one of my favorite songs. Only downfault is that they scream... a lot. 8.5/10

Beherit - The Oath Of Black Blood

Cult old school Black/Death Metal, some of the most disturbing vocals ever. ( combination of grunt and whisper) Raw, primitive with a real sinister 'Satanic' atmosphere.

[The Man]

Wolves in the Throne Room - Queen of the Borrowed Light

I don't know how I missed out hearing about this group until last week. Raw, primitive US black metal in the same vein as Weakling and nearly as good, with some tastefully applied female vocals and folk influence for good measure. I'm probably going to have to revise my best of 2006 list because of this album, although I doubt it beats out Drudkh's Blood in Our Wells for AotY.

Keane - Is It Any Wonder

a cracking song from one of the best albums of last year. I was worried that they wouldn't live up to my expectations. but in all honesty their second album is superior in every way to Hopes and Fears. the video for this is cracking too.

[Soulreaper]

Funeral Procession - Heavenlie Aeons Grimlie Torne Apart

Quality Blackmetal. It has everything good modern Blackmetal should have, it's raw, sometimes melodic but not too much, it has atmosphere, the songs are really memorable and the compositions are really good. Pretty addictive stuff.

Chiodos | There's No Penguins In Alaska;

Another great song, this song is by my favorite American band. Very odd choice of lyrics but neve-the-less it's an excellent song. The screaming is toned down in this aswell.

[The Man]

Edge of Sanity - Crimson

This track is an all-time classic in both the field of progressive metal and the field of death metal. It's a 40-minute continuous piece of music that tells the story of a world in which people have lost the ability to breed, and considering that it came out in 1996, it was pretty damn groundbreaking. Honestly, Dan Swanö's reputation rests more on this one track than on any other music he's ever done in his career.

[Antikhrist]

Red Hot Chili Peppers
>>Love Rollercoaster

I wasn't a big fan of the original, the cover by RHCP's much better imo. This is a song I could listen to for hours, it's great. It may not be one of their better known songs, but I think it's one of their best.

[Nrvnsq]

Dethlok | Deaththeme;

Heh, this song is the theme song for Metalapocolypse (sp?). I just got it, since I love that show. It's hilarious. Anyways, the song is very short so I just added it to my playlist for the hell of it. It's nice though.

[The Man]

Metalocalypse ftw.

Moonsorrow - Tuleen ajettu maa

Those of you who frequent other forums with me have already probably heard me raving about this record but for those who haven't, Moonsorrow are a folk metal band who specialise in abnormally epic material, and their latest album Hävitetty (translation: Ravaged) is unusually epic even for them. It runs for over fifty-six minutes despite only containing three songs, two of which are combined into one track. While all of Moonsorrow's studio work is high quality, this album blows away all of its predecessors and indeed most of the rest of the albums released this decade. In fact, I think you'd have to go back to 2004 to find albums that resonate as strongly with me as this one does (although Drudkh's Blood in Our Wells, which I've already mentioned once in this thread, admittedly comes somewhat close)

Laura Veirs - Ether Sings

I like a lot of indie/folk and her music is very tranquil. I love the voice and the guitar compliments it nicely.

[Ugly Casanova]

Flaming Lips: Sound of Failure

[The Man]

Hollenthon - Interlude (Ultima Ratio Regum)

Not even sure how to describe this group. Symphonic folk-death metal, I guess. Both of their albums are masterpieces from start to finish, but unfortunately the project seems to be either abandoned or on indefinite hold, since their last release was in 2001.

Martin Schirenc, the main musician behind this group, is also the lead vocalist of Austrian death metal group Pungent Stench. Who, as you might guess, play quite a bit different style of music.

[Nrvnsq]

Metalocalypse ftw.

I hope you've heard of it, the weird-ass show? I just got the theme song from a friend and he sent it.

The Black Maria | Waking Up With Wolves;

This song is ok, I don't know how I got it or why it's there. It's fine though, I like the lyrics again.

[The Man]

Of course, I was expressing my sentiment that it is for the win.

Hollenthon - Premonition (Lex Talionis)

More of the above. These tracks are all from their first album, which is slightly inferior to their second album, but still a classic of the genre, such as it is. I'll be listening to the second album when this one ends.

[Soulreaper]

Gates Of Ishtar - Dreamfields

Although I'm not that much of a fan of melodic Deathmetal, I listen to Gates Of Ishtar occasionly. Typical Swedish sound, but their fine song writing and feel for atmosphere makes me enjoy them more then the average melodic Deathmetal band. I wonder why bands like this are usually so short lived.

[The Man]

Drudkh - Fading

Another one of my favourite folk metal bands. I've been listening to Autumn Aurora every night before I go to bed. I find it so relaxing.

The Bastard Fairies | We're All Going To Hell;

I love the song, the lyrics are humerous so I added it to my playlist. I got this song, randomly. Downloading songs on Last.fm and picked this song, and instantly loved it.
