Enslaved are just a wonderful band and go far beyond their contemporaries. New album is due out in October which is already pre ordered 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against all the odds, it's weirdly wonderful (and not as a joke, like his 'Lucy in the Sky' era). It's fairly common knowledge, that was his second studio album, he's done five more since The next one was Exodus: An Oratorio in Three Parts (yes he's reading the Bible set to music) After that was... Seeking Major Tom (Yep all Space themed covers), sounds very cheesy from the off but the musicians include... Steve Miller, Richie Blackmore, Steve Hillage, Ian Paice, Alan Parsons, Toots Hibbert and Peter Frampton. Oh and Sheryl Crow as well, quite the stellar backing musicians EDIT: The one after than has even more bonkers musicians on it, Nik Turner, Edgar Froese, Tony Kaye and Robby Krieger Shatner pulls in all sorts of people to play for him, its quite the accomplishment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own only two albums of metal bands. One by Colibra, (a mate is the drummer), and the WiTR one, which I bought (having never heard anything by them) purely on the basis that I was reading an AVH interview one day on the computer at work and she said she’d sung on some tracks on a new record by some of her friends called WitTR...so I ordered it off that internet purely because of that. When I’m in the right frame of mind it’s grand, even though as a genre it’s not really my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their best is Two Hunters personally but this isn't far behind and I hold that one as one of my all-time favs within the genre. First time I heard Thrice Woven I was a bit surprised to hear female vocals sung in Swedish tbh :D. I mean these guys are pretty much isolated farmers from Oregon.

I was wrong, they're apparently from Olympia, Washington. Close enough I suppose . Also no problem!

chrisp65 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 ....aaand all of a sudden, I’m interested. Olympia? That’s got some claims to fame, for such a small place. Just googled up the population and it’s 50,000, yet they’ve managed: K Records Calvin Johnson Selector Dub Narcotic Curt Cobain Birth place of riot grrrl Don Rich Wolves In The Throne Room and one of the original places ‘lo-fi’ started Not a bad list for 50,000 people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Listening to a truly great black metal band from Manchester Winterfylleth and their album The Hallowing Of Heirdom. This album is an acoustic folk album that completely had me blindsided the first time I heard it. It's mainly centered around English folklore and composed of classical guitar compositions as well as choral singing. Absolutely fantastic album imo and very beautiful. Here's an extract: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
