I've always found it hard to listen to free jazz, and honestly I don't even see the appeal of listening to out-of-key playing. I liked Exivious' first album because they didn't push that too far. Liminal is a bit harder to like.


Nice collection!

Thx, those are from such a long time ago. They are from around 96.

So nobody wants to write down his thoughts about the new Cynic song here?

Granted, only heard it on Youtube. Sounds decent, but lacking in the low end. I don't really like the vocals. Does not sound like the Cynic I grew up on in the late 80's, early 90's.

  I've listened to plenty avant-garde and experimental music, so its nothing that I found too out of the ordinary. The music itself is good though.
 
Anyway some death/thrash influenced by jazz and prog.
 
 

Well, I just used the term free jazz generically. The album in it's entitity is really quite varied with a lot of soft-loud dyanamcs.

I'm one of these persons who like Traced in the Air more than Focus so...no problem with the vocals
It does lack a bit on the low end.
The song isn't that special, but makes me confident that the new album isn't going to even more aetherial than the Carbon EP (which I also love).

I know I'm a little bit late to the party (okay, really late), but I'm hearing Witherscape for the first time now and it's incredible. I should not have waited so long.

I'm still waiting. Wanted to buy Starcraft, found cheap Witherscape, ordered both and... 
 
...after a few days it turned out they couldn't get SC (it was marked as "available" - yeah, sure, whatever), so I'm left with waiting for the album to arrive. At least they have a point in the city where I can collect it so  I don't have to pay for postage.

Make sure you listen to the vinyl mix that came with the CD!

I hear a lot of bass though. Its near impossible to figure out production quality from a low-bit YT stream, but I wonder if Paul came through!

More metal tattoos. Amon Amarth this time.
 
"Raise a stone for all to see, runes carved to my memory." In Futhark runes of course. I always hated lyric tattoos like this, but I kinda wanted to ham it up by making a stupid tattoo awesome. I love these.
 

Few more pickups tonight when I went to the shop with my friend (she got a new record player and had a list of Black Metal she needed).
 
Ulcerate - The Destoryers of All
Lamb of God - As the Palaces Burn (10th Anv. Remaster)

Checking out the Caladan Brood album, heard they had a similar style to Summoning. I can definitely hear the influence on certain tracks.

They are an exact clone! Take a look at their album cover. Definitely one of my favorite records of the year though.

The average playingtime of a song in my music library is roughly six minutes and thirty seconds.
Proves that I don't listen to Grindcore or Thrash Metal

Man that had hurt!
