They're both good really. Falkenbach sounds a bit polished, but Myrkgrav is just epic.

I've talked about them before, but don't think I ever linked them here. I've shown some of you and you seemed to dig it, so I thought maybe the rest would also. Some of us have dubbed them greaser metal.

Ja, Heidevolk zijn goed, ik hou van dat liedje ook.

Porcupine Tree — Half Light

Rare track, played live at Tilburg. Wes has an absolutely fantastic voice.

 

Also, Opeth — The Ghost of Perdition

Ghost Reveries is at least as good an album as Blackwater Park.

I think Brian's really getting the hang of this.

 

Grain Silos is just awesome on so many levels. Blood Eagle, too. Those creepy vocals...

Also, a certain someone I know IRL has just become an ardent fan.

Royal Republic. Not sure how that goes over with you folks but Tommy Gun is a funny song. I want you to do me with a Tommy Gun baby.

Russian Circles — A criminally underrated instrumental post-rock band. Incredibly intense, heavy and dynamic.

Not bad, but I think I still prefer Omega Massif; riffs are just...chunkier.

Pretty good. Geisterstadt has an amazing album cover.

I got a whole bunch of new post-rock over the weekend; Mogwai, El Ten Eleven, Pelican, And So I Watch You From Afar, This Will Destroy You, If These Trees Could Talk, Mono and others.

Over the course of the past year I've gotten really into A Day to Remember, old Thrice and a bit of old Metallica (The Unforgiven, Wherever I May Roam.... that era). A little bit more here and there, but I listen to them almost as much as I do Chevelle, which is certainly saying something.

Meh, I find them only alright, really... Russian Circles remains my favourite post-metal outfit so far.

Since I'm in Cape Town with my family for Christmas and since I'm in hippie / indie country, I've been listening to a lot of Iron & Wine again.

The Sword is a good folk/metal band... they have a song or two attached to George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire. This is one of their older tunes:

Russian Circles is almost impossibly epic.

This track reminds me so much of the old Command and Conquer soundtracks. I love that mechanical, Cold War aesthetic they have.

If you're not listening to The Format you should be, all day, every day.

Hah. I wish she was mine.

 

Listning to Scars of Broadway. Some one from youtube is probebly going to hunt me down now but I think they're better then System of a Down. The don't do the stop-go-stop-go rythem and they're a bit slower but the songs are much better constructed. I also like the variations between the songs.

 

Also The Format is nice.

 

In fact I'm alternating tracks, it must sound completely schizophrenic.

Nice, never heard of the guy before.

 

 

On another note, I've discovered to the horror of my childhood pride that I actually enjoy the song MMMBop. Perhaps it's for nostalgic reasons - is that a nostalgic wave that those from abroad shared?

I've been listening to the musical ecstasy that is Magma. I've also recently been introduced to Tengger Cavalry, a Chinese Folk/Black Metal artist who is quite good. It combines folk instruments, electric guitar and throat singing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNLqx3rUJdQ

Not bad, lot more than simply folk and black metal in there though.

It's game music. Loads of it. It gave me this craving to play Mechwarrior again.
