Good morning,

Back to the early 90s, when instruments and recordings were not formatted and still had to be invented.
This album marked my generation of metalheads.

 

For past two years I can not seem to get over the CrippledBlackPhoenix. I wish their recording quality would be better, but the music they make is simply captivating - to me.

I listened to the album "Ellengaest" this morning, I liked it, I like the "pop" male voices a little less.
I'm going to listen to other albums by the group.

In the captivating music series, from the 90s, there is the group The 3rd and the Mortal.
This is the first group by Kari Rueslatten whose solo career I really like.
Be careful, ultra dry snare drum and particular guitar sound, but great album!

 

thats not bad, I wonder if you have heard Messa? you might like them as well...

 

Don't normally listen to the songs on this channel... but the cat is great. Down to how he just casually meows at the end.

 

Sounds promising.
I usually listen to this sort of music when doing physical work or driving around in my tractor.
Thus, recording quality is kind of secondary - still listening on an uber system I wish metal-heavy-prog was better recorded.
Generally soundstage is crap and tonality not ideal.

Wrt soundstage this is exception:

This is great track to assess speaker mid-high bass resolving and dynamics character - the guitars are great in it.
Not a fan of how the vocal is mixed in though..

 

For progressive music lovers, I'm going to advertise for my friends from Enneade, a French group from the city of Lyon.

 

My latest metal obsession, which I found by accident at the recent Austin meetup, was Hath. I cannot stop listening to All That Was Promised.

I listened to it today, very good album!

 

I'll tell my kids that this was the Shadow of the Erdtree.

 

A superb remix of a legendary recording. Drums have body and guitars finally don't sound like midi.

The new A Wake in Providence album takes their progressive deathcore sound to the next level, a lot more symphonic elements, this album rules.
