Albums

I’m always happy when a new Orphaned Land record comes out, they are one of my favourite bands and I’ll always have a soft spot for them, their music and their message. Like I mentioned before, after All is one (which wasn’t on par with their previous works, even though it was …

Communic is a very dear band to me, from the first time I heard Wayward soul, I was fascinated by everything they did and many years later, I still remain so. Most bands I know can be easily associated with a genre or two (sure, not every band is Hammerfall, but …

After a most awaited “return to the roots” album with The plague within, it seems that Paradise Lost went all in into the world of gothic doom with a bleak and depressing Medusa. Apparently the fans weren’t the only ones over the moon with excitement as far as Beneath broken earth was concerned, but …

The last time I wrote about Lacrimosa, I was saying it’s a band I have very mixed feelings about, that it has moments of brilliance and then moments where it loses me completely. Since then, I realised that Lacrimosa is an acquired taste, something that takes time to “get”, but …

After the departure of almost half of the band and an Origins that was slightly less inspired than their previous albums, I was getting a bit worried about Eluveitie’s future.

I am so glad to see Firma back on track! After a rather long break, that many people thought was the end of this band, they came back in force with Descantece vol. I and I couldn’t be happier to know that it wasn’t a one time event and that they seem …

I am the first one to admit I’m a giant un-objective Arjen fangirl and that I will be mega-excited about anything this guy puts out, no matter the label it’s under. Also that his “guess the vocalist” pre-album games on Facebook are the most effective teaser he could ever lay …

Since this has been a slower month in terms of albums I’m truly interested with, I’m going to share some thoughts about my new-found love, Pain of Salvation’s Entropia. I guess it’s no secret by now that In the passing light of day brought back a severe POS obsession, so I’ve …

Every once in a while my ears and my soul are lucky enough to be graced with an album that I instantly love and that I keep loving more and more with each listen. In the passing light of day is one of those rare records. Pain of salvation have always been …
