It's been a long time since I found a new band that could really hook me up in just no time. Lately I've been impressed by Elysion's 2009 album "Silent Scream" (it seems to be their full debut album).



Great songs include Killing My Dreams, Never Forever, Don't Say A Word, Erase Me, but honestly the other songs are pretty good too, it's quite solid album. I really love this album so much, I've put the album in my GTA IV user music folder to listen to while playing this favorite game of mine.

If You like one of my top 3 overall artists, maybe You should give Elysion a try too. Oh btw they're from Greece.

Hello, my dearest non-existent readers.
I have some new music to share with you.. yeah.


Five Secs


1. The absolutely fantastic Te'.

Little did I know while on my searches for some awesome tunes that constant energy and explosions are not always a bad thing (what I mean is - well - I am more used to balance slow/ambient vs. heavy/explosions); and when one day while browsing through some recommended artists I came across this magnetic band, I could not stop listening to them for about a week. I guess the most impressive explosion of their is 己が分を知りて及ばざる時は速やかに止むるを『智』と with it's pure form of drastic dynamic energy that many bands lack these days. From what I heard they are absolutely stunning live.

2. The long awaited Kollaps Tradixionales.

And the wait was completely worth it - no matter how I never got into 13 Moons, this album still stands as a flag to all the ASMZ fans - the band is still out there, doing good things for the people. I did get There Is A Light earlier than the whole album, and I did feel the comeback towards their earlier works (you can try to prove me wrong, but that's the way I feel about all the new songs), and that was pretty much what caught me back to this band. Well, and, obviously, the "dance motherfu*ker" part in the enigmatic I've Built Myself a Metal Bird.

3. Epic45 with their great sparkly sounds.

I won't expand my thoughts too much on this band, but this is a great find nonetheless - I love how freshly electronic yet never synthetic they sound, keeping the organic ambiance. In assembly with the wintry atmosphere this band wins my heart completely, especially the christmas-y .track artist=Epic45]The Future is Blinding[/track].

4. The soothing Stars of the Lid.

I am always looking for some music to fall asleep to with the perfect dreamy mood and running thoughts - well I surely have found a gem here. The duo fully fills my needs with their calming charms and recurring themes. A definite recommendation for sleepy ambiance lovers.

5. The eclectic We All Inherit the Moon.

I did encounter this band before, in a split with The Ascent of Everest, but I only cared for the Everest part, so I never even tried out these amazing artists. I have to say - I needed a lot of time to stop recreating their motives in my upcoming music, cause the general backward inbound sound structure and very, very dreamy abstract drumming is a really catchy thing. Every person on the planet has to listen to Part I on a lonely yet sunny day.

6. Lanterna.

While I am always in search for nice shoegaze-ish ambient-ish slow-rock, this band is definitely a find worth mentioning. There are some indirect communication with the more post-rocky Hammock right here, but not in a bad way anyway - I guess their sound just seems quite similar to me. Generally positive tunes for a hungover , an early winter morning or such.

7. Miles Davis.

It is incredible, how one can miss out so many great artists just because he was born a couple of decades later. This talented guy released a lot of material during his years, and up to this point I fully dragged the only one record - Bitches Brew, a 1969 masterpiece of jazz fusion with some psychedelic moments altogether. A very nice album to listen to while under the influence of illegal substances.. yeah. Kinda blows your mind away.

8. Klimt.

Just a quick mention of this (solo?) artist; I have to be honest with you - there isn't a week that I would not play Ennui at least once. Beautiful, beautiful tunes.


So much for today.
I cannot wait enough for the new:

Red Sparowes
Ef
65daysofstatic
The Ascent of Everest

and maybe I still care a little for Deftones.
