New year and time for some new changes. I've decided to make this a dedicated music blog, not just one I randomly update. I'm going for the M-F feel of things. So from here on out, every Mon-Fri I'll post something up, maybe with a little backstory about the record or what not. Every year or so I rummage through my ever expanding music collection and go A-Z. I stumble across stuff I forgot about, lost classics and stuff I haven't even listened to yet. So I decided to take it a step further posting some stuff you may have heard and stuff you may not have, everything from Metal/Rock/Punk/Jazz/Blues and the occasional wtf. So we start with the A's. Might stretch it out over two weeks see how things fly.
First up is the band Age Of Silence. A sort of prog/avant garde supergroup. I really hate to use that word, but when it fits. The band hails from Norway and features Hellhammer (Mayhem/Winds/Dimmu Borgir/etc) and Andy Winter (Winds/Sculptured). It's not what you may expect from a Norwegian Metal band, but it definitely has it's moments. Releasing only a full length and an EP so far since 2004, safe to say everyone is busy with their other bands. I'm posting the debut 'Acceleration'. Production wise it's done really well. However the vocals and the keys are the standouts here. Recommended for the open minded metal head and for fans of prog.
