the new Isis record is very, very lovely.

The album plus T-Shirt is on its way to me as we speak.
I have resisted listening to anything so far.

Axamenta. A progressive death/black metal band. And I mean PROGRESSIVE.

If you listen to their track "Threnody For An Ending", you will hear the lovely voice of Daniel Gildenlow of Pain Of Salvation fame. And although it's only a small part of the song, you can tell it's one of his better performances (which is saying a lot).

Edit: Full Gildenlow track here: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2474

I just found out they changed their name, and I guess their stylings.

So anyone who becomes an Axamenta fan will now want to check out He Came From The Sun. You can hear a teaser on their website:

(They sound even better)

My favourite local band who played their upcoming album at their gig on Saturday and it's going to be freaking awesome!!

Very uncool to quote myself here, but given that they've just been announced for progpower europe they deserve a bump!

Wow! Waves of ascension is beautiful

Leprous: http://www.myspace.com/leprousband (Opeth influence notable)

Dark Suns: http://www.myspace.com/dunklesonnen (Incredibly dark prog rock/metal. Kristoffer Gildenlow of Pain Of Salvation played bass on their newest album)

Lunatic Soul - Lunatic Soul


This is simply the best album that was released in 2008, and a long time before that, and probably a long time after.
Lunatic Soul is the solo project of Mariusz Duda, frontman of Riverside. It does have some obvious Riverside elements of course, but it's much calmer and more diverse, there's a hint of middle-eastern music even.
The mood, the atmosphere of the album is so intense. It draws you in to a real dark place. It's gloomy but beautiful and makes you never want to leave again. Amazing.

Riverside - Anno Domini High Definition


Short step really, coming from Lunatic Soul
Riverside are an accomplished prog band by now, having released 3 studio albums already. Out Of Myself, Second Life Syndrome and Rapid Eye Movement complete the Reality Dream Trilogy. The (upcoming) release of Anno Domini High Definition marks the beginning of a new series of albums, the Anno Domini High Definition series. Riverside have changed studios, producers and styles for this, but it's still very Riverside, and above all it's very good. This band just seem to get better with every new release. Lots of influences of (recent) Porcupine Tree, Pain of Salvation and Tool, I suppose.

Check out her top 3 friends profiles too, (her other bands) she is a master of melody in my opinion and I'm in immense anticipation to hear more of her voice.

ava inferi

awesome portuguese doom/gothic metal, featuring one rune eriksen (blasphemer, mayhem anyone?)

check it out OR DIE

Riverside - Anno Domini High Definition

I'm amazed by the fact It's on the first place of official Polish album sales chart. Looks like last week it outsold, basically, everything.
