Sinister Downfall - A Dark Shining Light

Alice Cooper - Raise Your Fist and Yell
Thin Lizzy - Fighting
Angra - Rebirth
Dio - Lockup the Wolves
Rainbow - Rising
Blind Guardian - Tails from the Twilight World

The Cure - Disintegration

Moloch - Love songs (sludge)
Imperceptum - Ascension to a higher plane of existence

Wastes - Into The Void of Human Vacuity
Death/funeral doom. One track of 40 minutes. Members from Ataraxie are involved.

The preview track from the new solitude release:
Ivan - Silver screens
Aussie band. It's mostly peaceful death doom with a violin and something like a xylophone/marimba (?). The screams are a bit strange.

Moonworshipper - 13 Fullmoon Nights of Loneliness
This is quite something! Even has some female vocals. NYP.

They use 4 at once?!

I think it's Laurent from Mourning Dawn rather. He never was in Ataraxie.

Frailty/ lost lifeless lights

Abstract Spirit - Theomorphic Defectiveness
Abstract Spirit - Horror Vacui
Thou - Tyrant
Gnaw their tongues - Hymns for the Broken, Swollen And Silent
Demented but fun.

TRAPPED WITHIN BURNING MACHINERY - THE PUTRID STENCH OF DECAYING SELF
Nice sabbathy sludge but they don't stop there (check out the last song).

... and this abomination:
CHAOS MOTION - Psychological Spasms Cacophony (Technical Death Metal)


Not that it matters but I read on the German wikipedia page that Julien Payan from Ataraxie plays guitars in Wastes.

The founder of Wastes, the "mastermind" and grand organizer of this project is Laurent Chaulet of Inborn Suffering (outsatnding melo death doom band) and Mourning Dawn. He's from Rouen - France, as are the guys of Ataraxie, if i'mnot mistaken. I suppose they all know each orther.

Not that it's super interesting but give to Caesar etc... ;)

Is this a new one?

EDIT: no, it's not... the Filth Element from 2015 is pretty good too...

CAVURN - Rehearsal
Raw death/doom almost always slow to mid-tempo.

What on god's green earth is this? An album based on this awful blockbuster movie? They either have a sense of humour or no taste at all. However, it would be a good title for a... spin-off movie. I will have to consult the archives.

I was bored yesterday but, after having watched the stream for the new solitude release, I've reached a new level of un-excitement.

If you thinking of Yvan, it's a band that bored me right from their debut.

Now: Immense Intense Suspence by Phlebotomized

If you are both talking about Ivan - the new record seems much less interesting than the wonderful and pretty unique one that preceded it. It almost seems like they listened to all those who criticized them for "Memory" and the leading role the violin played there. The first song from the new one seems too safe and even though I still like it, it is a bit disappointing=)

Abstract Spirit - Tragedy and weeds


Of course, I'm talking about them. The less said the better. I don't want to resort to using the su-word...

I always hated them...

I've juste tried 20 min + of Memory.. It gave me a headache!

Fuoco Fatuo - Backwater
Doom/death. I liked this a lot. Not exactly catchy but gripping.

Geng - Screwing Yourself To Live: A Chopped & Slowed Tribute To Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath but broken:


Ah! Their title track sounds so wrong. It's glorious.

Well, obviously I was the only one who really liked Ivan and now I do not even like them that much after they toned down their style=))



Fuoco Fatuo is excellent, I love it. An amazing improvement over their debut.

The slowed down Black Sabbath is awful, it sounds literally slowed down and the vocals are unbearable this way=)))

I'd listen to this any day of the week instead of Ivan. Maybe "double bells" are the next trend in doom.



You just happen to have a weird taste in music.

Merciful Nuns / the whole disco.

Excellent gothic band. Not metal in here but a gripping sense of haunting atmospheres. The true heirs of Fields of the Nephilim.
