Most anticipated albums of 2012

1 avr. 2012, 11h42m par cuber3

Listing my most anticipated albums of 2012 here to make sure I don't lose track of any of these releases. I might add ratings after having listened to these albums, or just do a general list of my favorite 2012 albums at the end of the year. This list will be primarily doom, stoner, sludge, psychedelic and heavy rock oriented, with a few exceptions here and there. Note that this list is a work in progress. It's a bit all over the place and definitely incomplete, I will arrange these by genre and/or release date later on, and add a myriad of albums I've forgotten.

The list:

Ice Dragon - Tome of the Future Ancients
Saint Vitus - Lillie: F-65
Astra - The Black Chord
Ancestors - In Dreams and Time
Horisont - Second Assault
King Giant - Dismal Hollow
Orange Goblin - A Eulogy For The Damned
Pale Divine - Painted Windows Black
Down - Down IV
Pallbearer - Sorrow and Extinction
Stone Magnum - Stone Magnum
I Saw the Deep - Astronavigation
Electric Wizard - EP?

Chronique : Ancestors - Of Sound Mind

14 mars 2012, 19h28m par Grebinhell

Ancestors
(2009 / Style musical : Stoner - Doom Psychédélique)

Ancestors... Hum ce nom ne me dit rien. Encore un groupe de Stoner / Doom comme il y a des milliers.

Voila ce que j'ai pensé avant de poser l'oreille sur Of Sound Mind. Que nenni ! J'avais bien tort !

A la première écoute j'ai pensé à l'accouplement réussit entre Pink Floyd et Ufomammut (si si !).

Certes tous les ingrédients d'un stoner/Doom digne de ce nom sont bien là mais Ancestors va plus loin en incorporant une ambiance très 70's et très psychédélique.
Le chant clair et le couple clavier / guitare rend l'album très agréable à l'écoute et très léger (et même assez aérien il faut le dire) ce qui est assez appréciable pour un style de musique qu'habituellement j'aime pas écouter pendant mon ptit déj...

La structure de l'album elle même semble avoir été étudiée pour permettre à l'auditeur de digérer les longues chansons de 13 min (voire même 17 min pour la chanson Bounty of Age). …

2012 albums

26 déc. 2011, 5h55m par otaku-dono

5.0 = amazing, everyone should get it, almost unquestionably aoty.
4.5 = extremely good, definitely aoty material but i don't feel comfortable with giving it a 5.
4.0 = very good, definitely worth grabbing.
3.5 = quite good, i would strongly recommend all albums at this level or above.
3.0 = good. i usually default to this if i feel it needs more listens but was pretty good on first / second listen.
2.5 = solid, worth getting. i usually default to this if i feel it needs more listens to fully get the hang of.
2.0 = not bad, worth getting if you're a fan of the band.
1.5 = mediocre, if you really like the band you may as well grab it but otherwise i don't recommend it.
1.0 = pretty bad.

* = needs another listen or two, may get deleted

A Liquid Landscape - Nightingale Express

seen live

14 juin 2011, 14h03m par Melonenmann

During the last five years not only my musical taste experienced a great development. I also developed a new passion (indeed an all-consuming one) - the passion of visiting concerts!

It all started with Roger Waters (ex-Pink Floyd, if some of you didn't know) playing The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety and more songs in Lucca, Italy. What a fascinating experience!
And since then I had the great luck to see bands live which most people have been waiting for for years (such as Sunn O))), Neurosis, Ulver...).

Over the years I wondered if I would still have the same incredible feelings in my stomach after all these concerts or if it would come to a mere usualness. Of course the answer is NO!
After more or less 50 concerts I can say that it's still worth spending every pence on it. Needless to say that there are shows which are outstanding and other ones that are not nearly comparable with those, but they're still great experiences and all leave unique memories behind.
