March 1, 201412 yr comment_625665 I'm really looking forward to the new album from EMA. Past Life Martyred Saints was probably my favorite album from 2011. The Future's Void comes out April 8th, and two tracks are already available through iTunes. I love what I'm hearing so far. Report
March 19, 201412 yr comment_628289 New Agalloch.... The Serpent & The Sphere due May 13th! Oh good! I just hope it is better than Marrow of the Spirit. Such a boring album compared to Ashes. I like these guys, but let's face it, the BM vocals are not that great.. I wish they would stray further from that and more toward the atmosphere aspect of their compositions. In other news, Anathema are going to release an album hopefully in May of this year. Details: http://scarycarghostcar.com/breaking-anathema-reveals-details-about-new-album/ I am on a HUGE Anathema bender right now, especially their last two releases, so I am extremely excited. Report

I like these guys, but let's face it, the BM vocals are not that great.. I wish they would stray further from that and more toward the atmosphere aspect of their compositions. I really like Marrow of the Spirit. "Black Lake Nidstang" and "To Drown" are fantastic, and the rest of the songs lead to and from those tracks perfectly for me. I feel like it's the album where they've pushed the envelope furtherst towards their atmoshpheric side, vocals aside. Everything is mood, atmosphere and slow builds. I really love it. Report

Alright I'll give it another shot sometime soon to see if it does anything for me. In other news, here is a track by track review of the upcoming untitled Opeth album: http://www.metalinjection.net/reviews/first-impressions-of-the-new-untitled-opeth-album-a-track-by-track-review No death vocals (booo!), and some of the tracks sound pretty meh, but if it is more like Damnation and less like that train wreck, Heritage, I'll be happy. Enough of the wannabe '70s nonsense. Report
March 28, 201412 yr comment_629483 Also, a few more details about Anathema's new album, now called Distant Satellites. ANATHEMA return in June with 'distant satellites', their brand new studio album.Due to be released on 9th June via Kscope, 'distant satellites' is the highly anticipated follow up to 2012’s Weather Systems, recorded at Cederberg Studios in Oslo, with producer Christer-André Cederberg.The beautifully ethereal artwork was created by Korean new media artist Sang Jun Too and based around his Distant Light Installation The band released a statement on their new album: “distant satellites is the culmination of everything ANATHEMA been working up to so far in our musical path. It contains almost every conceivable element of the heartbeat of Anathema music that it is possible to have. There is beauty, intensity, drama, quietude, and extra musical dimensions that the band have previously only hinted at. All built on the song writing chemistry of Daniel, John and Vincent ~ and the haunting voice of Lee Douglas. Produced and mixed once again by our very ownChrister-André Cederberg - Producer/Mixer/Engineer(Weather Systems, Universal) and with some songs also mixed by the unassailable Steven Wilson - Official page, It's a special and unique release for the band. ANATHEMA hopes the fans get as much joy from listening to and feeling the music as we did in creating it.” Artwork (Reminds me of Judgement... never a bad thing): Report
March 31, 201412 yr comment_629815 I'm really looking forward to the new album from EMA. Past Life Martyred Saints was probably my favorite album from 2011. The Future's Void comes out April 8th, and two tracks are already available through iTunes. I love what I'm hearing so far. NPR is streaming this today and I just finished giving it a listen. I didn't know what to expect since the two tracks that had been previewed previously were so different from one another. But I have to say that it exceeded my admittedly high expectations and I can't wait for it to show up on the 8th! Report

May 21, 201412 yr comment_636892 I don't care what anyone says, I love Pink Floyd's Division Bell! It's getting the 20th anniversary ridiculous overblown re-release treatment. Too rich for my blood, but we'll see. http://euroshop.pinkfloyd.com/en/ 24/96 stereo mix from original tapes by Mr. Guthrie? Yes, please! Report
May 21, 201412 yr Author comment_636902 I'm right there with you, and I don't feel I'm compromising anything in my love of Pink Floyd in saying so. On an unrelated note, I am so jealous of her -- jealous of her talent to play, write, and most importantly of all, to enjoy what she's doing more than anything else: This can't come out soon enough.
