It's strange that there isn't a thread about this yet. So, here it is: Vir Genre: Sludge Metal, Post-Metal, Drone Doom Metal 2002 - Vir I (Demo). 2003 - Vir II (Demo). 2005 - Vir III (Demo). 2006 - Nizhny Les. 2007 - Tribute To Ministry (Split). 2008 - Khorna. Good, depressing, atmospheric metal. It really hits hard. The latest album has become completely Drone Doom Metal, which I didn't particularly like. It reminds me of Cult Of Luna, but it's harsher. I added 4 songs to my collection. Overall, I'd give it a 4. It's still pretty good depressing music. There's nothing but coldness inside... Coliseum Genre: Melodic Metal, and Heavy Metal 2007 - Together We Will Win. 2009 - How Many Roads. The first album is just a demo; all the songs from it are on the second album. I think the band lacks drive. It's something in between Aria and Epidemia. I selected 6 songs. Not a bad debut, though. I listened and listened, and finally finished listening. Band: Catamenia Country: Finland Genre: Melodic Black Metal All 11 albums: 1995 - Demo. 1996 - Winds (Demo). 1998 - Halls Of Frozen North. 1999 - Morning Crimson. 2000 - Eternal Winter's Prophecy. 2002 - Eskhata. 2003 - Chaos Born. 2005 - Winternight Tragedies. 2006 - Location COLD. 2007 - Bringing The Cold To Poland (Live). 2008 - VIII - The Time Unchained. As you know, cold winds blow and wolves howl in Finland. And people also like to drink vodka and sometimes play music. For example, in the style of melodic black metal, like the band Catamenia. Excellent band, a masterpiece, if not of all time, then at least of the decade. I personally liked it because of its melodic nature, as I'm not indifferent to it. I selected 29 songs + 6 that I particularly liked, for a total of 35. I can recommend it to everyone.

I listened to Draconian demos, and enjoyed the Great Design Your Universe by Epica.
Oh yes, Design Your Universe is great, I'm listening to it right now. Although my favorite remains the good old The Phantom Agony... Draconian's demos are also not bad, but I'd rather listen to Arcane Rain Fell :cool:

On the topic:

Korpiklaani - Karkelo (2009) (Folk Metal / Pagan Folk Metal)
An awesome album, on par with their best (in my opinion) creation, Tales Along This Road. There are plenty of traditional riffs in their style with cheerful "alcoholic" lyrics, as well as more serious tracks.

At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul (1995) (Melodic Death Metal)
I became interested in the fathers of Melodic Death Metal and found their album. It's quite good, I've already listened to some songs many times.

Thivium - Ascendency (2005) (Melodic Metalcore)
Finally, I was able to listen to another one of their albums. I liked it more than The Crusade, where only the title track caught my attention.

The topic has stumped me – I've listened to so many albums/discographies "recently" that I can't even remember them all. I'll probably just list two artists (for certain reasons): Immortal, Nargaroth.

Just write what you listened to during the week.
And don't forget to share your impressions =));)

*Amy Macdonald
Genre - Country Rock, Folk Rock
2007 - Mr Rock And Roll.
2007 - This Is The Life.
2008 - This Is The Life Bonus CD.
I fell in love with her after I accidentally came across the song This Is The Life. Basically, a girl in a shirt and with a guitar =)) At least, many who listened to This Is The Life also listened to the rest of her songs, and 95% liked it + 4 songs in my collection ;)

*Finnugor
Genre - Symphonic Black Metal
Country - Hungary
2002 - Black Flames.
2003 - Death Before Dawn.
2004 - Darkness Needs Us.
2006 - Voitettuani Kuoleman.
2008 - Fame et Morte.
At first, I liked it, but in the latest albums, there are too many mediocre songs. I liked both vocals, the traditional raspy one and the clean, majestic one; I especially love the second one. I selected 9 songs for my favorites collection

A relatively unknown band from Arkhangelsk (their brutal "leader" Konstantin Rednek is my sister's boyfriend). I actually like it) It's just a demo, the recording studio is bad => the recording quality is not pleasing, and I would like it to be more pleasant. I like all the songs, except for the bonus one (it's just the usual nonsense).

I'm now downloading Within Temptation - The Silent Force (Finally got around to them :))

Within Temptation
2008 Black Symphony
Finally downloaded it.
There's a live performance; they're in a huge hall with a massive 400 sq. m screen, performing with a 60-member orchestra and a 35-person choir, plus a lot of pyrotechnics.
The performance is probably good, but it's definitely better to watch it on video and not use it to learn about the band.
Now I have to download their entire discography.
+ I'm currently downloading the album Graveworm - Engraved In Black.
I want to finally explore symphonic black metal.

Just finished listening ^_^ Zeromancer Country - Norway. Genre - Gothic Rock, Synth Rock, Industrial Metal, Gothic Industrial 2000 - Clone your lover. 2001 - Doctor Online (CD Single). 2002 - Eurotrash. 2003 - Erotic Saints (CD, Single, Promo). 2003 - Famous Last Words. 2003 - ZZYZX. 2007 - I'm yours to lose (cds). 2008 - Doppelganger I love You. 2009 - Sinners International. There are 4 full albums, the rest are singles. It's a mix of pop industrial with gothic elements, and it turned out very well. It somehow reminds me of American teen horror movies)))) which is facilitated by the corresponding lineup and vocalist. I can confidently give it a rating of five minus; the latest songs didn't appeal to me much, but the first albums are excellent and captivating. I selected 12 songs! I can confidently recommend it to everyone!!!!!

Gnome
1996 - Under the Black Moon (Demo)

1. La Foret
2. La Mer...

Don't get me wrong – this is Japanese Dark Metal, and in the first track, there's a bit of black metal too, but it's more atmospheric black metal...
It's a great demo, though! I can confidently recommend it to everyone!

Sorry, but what's that "olololo" thing above me? O.o

It's not very polite, though.

Abingdon boys school - in my opinion, this is the most successful j-rock band; they have only one album and a few singles, and I liked everything.
FGFC820 - Law & Ordnance - an amazing EBM/industrial album.
Front Line Assembly - Artificial Soldier - an amazing EBM/industrial album x2.
Theatre Of Tragedy - Forever Is the World - gothic rock/metal, also caught my attention, although I like their previous album, Storm, even more.

I listened to all 5 albums by the band Forest Of Shadows
Country - Sweden.
Genre - Doom Metal, Death Doom Metal.

1998 - Promotion CD (Demo).
1999 - Under the Dying Sun (Demo).
2001 - Where Dreams Turn To Dust.
2005 - Departure.
2008 - Six Waves Of Woe.

No, I didn't just listen; I enjoyed it for several weeks, listening to it almost all day long :smile41:
A measured, melancholic rhythm. A guttural growl. Music that is sad and beautiful, like an autumn grove, fragile like newly frozen ice on puddles, and at the same time merciless and sharp, like a katana. Dark, cold, lonely music.
Frozen black and white clouds in the sky, apathy, one album by Forest Of Shadows – what more do you need for sadness to knock on your soul?
I added all the songs to my collection. Even though most of the songs are 8, 10, 13, and even 17 minutes long. ;)

Wow, impressive... I'll have to listen to it, because I like that kind of thing :cool:
After such a review, I'm almost afraid to write something of my own, but I'll try :)

Swallow The Sun (Finland, Death Doom Metal)
New Mooon (2009)
01. These Woods Breathe Evil
02. Falling World
03. Sleepless Swans
04. ...And Heavens Cried Blood
05. Lights On The Lake (Horror Pt. III)
06. New Moon
07. Servant Of Sorrow
08. Weight Of The Dead
A wonderful album, atmospheric, melodic. IMHO, it's the best thing they've released since 2003. Along with growling/screaming in the songs, there is also clean vocals. The tracks numbered 1, 2, 3, and 5 resonated the most.

Terhen (Finland, Death Doom Metal)
Eyes Unfolded (2007)
1. Influences
2. Six Months
3. Last Moments
4. What Truly Is Real
5. Wandering
Well, here's the same country, the same genre, but it sounds different. Although it's no less beautiful and melodic, it's just that both bands have their own individual sound. It's hard to single anything out, but I was pleased with the female vocals in the 3rd and 5th tracks.
The album is full-length (songs are 9-13 minutes long), it's the first and so far the only album for the band.

Amberian Dawn (Finland, Symphonic Power Metal)
River of Tuoni (2008)
1. River of Tuoni
2. Wings Are My Eyes
3. Lullaby
4. Valkyries
5. Fate of Maiden
6. My Only Star
7. Curse
8. Passing Bells
9. Sunrise
10. Evil Inside Me
Another Finnish band, another debut album, but a slightly different side of metal :) Here, on the contrary, everything is quite cheerful (although there is also a place for sadness), with excellent vocals from the soloist (who also writes the lyrics). However, the album is a bit short. In general, as an alternative to the somewhat forgotten Nightwish, Dark Moor, and Visions of Atlantis, it works quite well :) The most liked tracks are No. 1, 4, 5, and 9.
