Stielas Storhett

sup? wat? yeah I haven’t been around, the “band of the week” Idea is probably long gone but who cares, here I am back with bands I hear and like for one reason or another.

Today I looked at Stielas Storhett, is black metal of course, no one will name his band like that if they weren’t. But they have a really nice touch between this doom like wave and black metal “From far far away” (just hear the song, you’ll get it hah). Pretty much like it, and it’s nice to be back

Band of the week - The Faceless

I’ll be straight with this one, this band really left me with a hard duty, explaining their music will probably sound incoherent but I will do it all the same with one song example: Deconsecrate

At the beginning there is some kind of opeth guitar with a very beautiful voice, then some child voices appear like some kind of between the buried and me and BOOM there is a brutal entrance, I have no idea how the made this swap not sound horrible and absurdly out of place but they did. It’s super technical and sounds really amazing, and when the sax comes in, like an inhsahn song, it fits perfectly (yep a sax AWW MY GAD!). Amazing band! Thanks to Brian Simmons for hitting the exact spot on a band that I may like.

Band of the week - Dir en Grey

A band from japan, these guys are really special, I haven’t heard a band so good at some songs and nasty at others (yep, it’s not only heavy it’s nasty hah). I’ll just leave two songs here that explain my point very well.

Band of the week - Novembre

A band from Rome, Italy. It seems italians do really good doom bands. This one has a little more speedy songs but the groove is still doom, the singer is just amazing for the kind of band and the music just gets you.

band of the week - Consider the Source

A band from NYC, US. They play a really nice instrumental prog rock. I like to hear them when I am programming. It’s just relaxing, interesting and inspiring. (and I specially love those bases, fucking amazing!)

Band of the week - Ne Obliviscaris

A band from australia, these guys really sound unique, they create a great ambient in their songs that just traps you, the drummer is just absurdly fast at some moments and the quick changes all around their songs are just great. I love the guitars, I love the bass, I love the singer and even (EVEN) the violin sounds great! conclusions?

This song is really long so I’ll just post the only one they have in their myspace:

Band of the week - Veil of Maya

A band from chicago Illinois, they play a really complex death metal, they tend to go really straight at some points and symphonic at others. It’s a pretty nice mix and an amazing recording always makes it better.

P.D.: Thanks to Brian Simmons for passing me the band

Band of the week - Outcast

A band from France, they play a really kick ass technical death and they have a really good back up. Their sound is just amazing and really makes you want to bang your fucking head. I may have been influenced by their music while I type, that just says how good this band can get hah, Totally worth it!

Band of the week - Ihsahn

He is definitely one of the most talented composers out there. He was the founding member of the legendary black metal band Emperor and now is on his solo project. He is about to release a new album and I am pretty exited about it, if you don’t know Ihsahn please be my guest.
