Harvest Moon: Back to Nature


BAND: Ossein
COUNTRY: United States of America
ALBUM: Declination
GENRE: Atmospheric / Experimental / Black Metal / Post-Rock (IMO)




Notes:
I've seen a rise in Farmer/Liberal Black Metal discussion lately, mainly by people who are mislead as to what Black Metal is.

So I decided to post this little gem. A band 3 years younger than their Cherry Picking counterparts and one that is very enjoyable as far as opinions go.

The band is VERY original and isn't one that would rip their Wisconsin (Correct me if I'm wrong) Bonfire marshmallow eating counterpart Wolves in the Throne Room, but there certainly are a few influence here and there and if you've never heard of WitTR you'd think that these guys do it better than WitTR.

They also have the same Ideals (If you're into Musical Ideologies) They're both Leftists or somesort... Yeah, just thought I'd throw that in there..

Yadda Yadda Yadda insert more text that no one would read...

Oh, I tried to find my high res album pic but failed so forgive me, guys. Have their band pic and logo instead.



EDIT: The post below this awesome btw, so check it out.

saturday night and I'm feverous



local act SALOME: slow. heavy. female-fronted. doom.

Salome - Salome (66.6 MB)


next is Fall of Efrafa, a heavy, crusty, experimental post-hardcore, post-rockish band whose unique music is based upon "a re-imagining of the mythological and political overtones in the book "watership down" by Richard Adams, focusing their efforts in forwarding atheist/animal rights ideologies". long, heavy, dark, almost depressive stuff. here are the first two of the three-part set entitled "The Warren of Snares", as well as the track "Tharn":



Fall of Efrafa - Owsla
OWSLA (meaning warrior or defender), the first record, created the narrative of an unnamed society in the final throws of a war against mankind. A society that still clings to the dwindling beliefs of its elders, yet struggles to break free of stagnating ideology.



Fall of Efrafa - Elil
ELIL (meaning enemy, or predator)was their second full length and dealt with these beliefs, and the oppressive reign of religious indoctrination. In this chapter, the society finally overthrows the rule of their god, Frith.



The final chapter, which they are currently writing, is called INLE (meaning both death, and the name of a deific character within the societies beliefs) This is the final recording effort of Fall of efrafa, and also the end of the trilogy. It will deal with hope in the face of death. (Fall '09 Release)



Fall of Efrafa - Tharn

many thanks to Seeeing Red for everything.




what better way to finish off your Saturday than with 3 Way Cum?
one of my current favorite crust punk bands, these releases take a load of metal influence and shove it down the throat of crust punk, taking their sound to a very dirty, crushing edge.

Guapo - Black Oni


Part two of this so far exciting trilogy. Whereas Five Suns presented itself as one whole, Black Oni shows more distinction without subtracting from overall quality. Precision drumming, driving bass, vintage sounding keys and buzz guitar melts together, dynamized audial bliss.

Evoke.

Guapo - Five Suns




Alrighty, this has been a while. I managed to catch Guapo live back a couple of weeks ago now at a little festival in my town. Didn't quite know what to expect, except for something people described as dark, progressive and psyched up rock. Turns out it was, and they put out an amazing live show. Exhilarating drumming, throbbing bass, jazzy piano and spaced out guitar. Fabulous mucisianship. Part one of a full-length trilogy.

Virgin Ambient Series - A Brief History of Ambient 2


Alrighty, part 2 of this epic series, again featuring a plethora of artists, some of which we know of the previous episode. You know what to expect.


This has been uploaded via Mediafire in different parts. Convenience tip: considering it's Mediawinfire, run all 3 downloads at the same time so that you have no problems extracting the whole bit, which adds up to about 250MB.

Brian Eno & Laraaji - Ambient 3: Day of Radiance

The titles says it all. Episode 3 of Eno's ambient series, this time in collaboration with Laraaji, whom you may already know of a track he contributed to A Brief History of Ambient: Volume 1. Rather excentric and not ambient in the sense as you might expect it, as it features very little electronics.

Wikiquote: "Laraaji uses a variety of acoustic stringed instruments such as a hammered dulcimer and 36-stringed open-tuned zither.

The first three tracks are variations on a theme named "The Dance", and are delivered in a fast, hypnotic, Gamelan-like, rhythmic pace on a hammered dulcimer. Eno's input is not only in the role of producer; he also adds many creative touches to the natural instrument-sounds. In particular, he "layers" the tracks, after which he applies phasing, reverberation/delay effects and graphic EQ to the point at which the dulcimer almost sounds like other instruments."


Expect minimalistic movements but broad views.

Not my upload, credits go to John Doe.

Virgin Ambient Series - A Brief History of Ambient (Volume 1)


Alrighty then. As the title of this (2 disc) album might suggest, it attempts to portray an image of (early) ambient (/electronic/kraut) music. A plethora of artists contribute, most notably Brian Eno, Roger Eno, Ashra, Tangerine Dream, Harold Budd etc... which leads to a rather varied and exciting listening experience. I hope you'll enjoy it, and if you don't, maybe you'll have learned something more about genre origins. Win-win situation here, guys.

Religious Knives


Band: Religious Knives
Genre: Noise/Experimental/?Drone/?Ambient
Country: The one with the nikka president, BRO FIST!
Album: Somewhat a discog

So I'm basically reposting something that has been posted by someone a while ago, id est Religious Knives. Having spun their In Brooklyn After Dark 12" just now, I thought it'd be nice to share it with all of you fags. As you have seen, it's kind of hard to put them in one little genre, but fuck that, who needs an exact genre description anyway. As the person who originally posted this said: "Some of the most amazing droning noise I've heard in a while. Though at times they're not even that noisy". The download contains several of their records, among which the aforementioned, Remains (superb!), 2, 4 and a couple of 7 inchaz!

ALBUM OF 2008



Band: Mutyumu
Album: Il y a
Genre: Post-Rock / Classical / Experimental



Download (Windiafire)



Notes:
This band was posted here by Gabe not too long ago, and here I am posting their best release yet.

What is it? It's rather hard to define, but it certainly isn't something you'll find in Hot Topic or lame corporate distros.

The music is a mix of Classical, Post-Rock and Experimental parts with Operatic vocals sometimes accompanied by some Screamo like Screams.
The thing with this music is that everything is driven by two major Instruments played in such a weird manner that it gives you this bizzarro atmosphere, the piano and drums.

Easily the best album of 2008.

Gabe also have this up on his blog and that's the only reason I posted this, I don't want to fall behind. This is supposed to go along with my fuck-ton uploads of Post-Rock.


Anyway, just enjoy. Don't forget Mutyumu's self-titled album uploaded by Gabe.
