BANDS OF THE MONTH - MARCH

BANDS OF THE MONTH

THE EYES OF A TRAITOR

I had bought The Eyes Of A Traitor's EP, By Sunset, on iTunes a while back, and was not wow'd by it. I stumbled upon their debut album, A Clear Perception, a few weeks ago...and I haven't put it down since. It drops on March 2nd and I've already pre-ordered my CD/Shirt combo from across the pond. And I STRONGLY suggest that you do also, these guys live off of merch sales so buy a shirt so they can keep touring!







This album is fantastic. Excellent harsh vocals...best I've heard in a while as well as great lyrics. Guitars go from cruching riffs to complex fingering in a split second, as well as a few amazing solo's. Great use of Piano and other effects. This album really has it all and puts the peices together perfectly. It's only the start of 2009 and this is easily a contender for my Album of the Year.







I can't stress enough how much this album kicks ass. Give it a few listens and I know you will be as hooked as I am. The Eyes Of A Traitor easily secured its spot as my March Band of the Month.

Cristiner????: SEPTIC FLESH

Septic Flesh is a band that can be taken two ways: incredibly complex, fresh, and moving or horribly theatrical and ostentatious. At first I didn’t know what to think of their style, but after a full listen through I absolutely fell in love with them. Each song seems to tell its own story; repetition is nonexistent. The orchestration and composition that went behind this album is mind boggling (my mind was blown, har har). And even after seeing them live (which I was SO excited for); my opinion of them was reaffirmed: they are just completely bad ass.

If you haven’t listened to this album yet, you MUST buy it, especially if you like melodic/atmospheric death metal is your thing. Don’t let the corny name discourage you. ;)

Septic Flesh - Sumerian Daemons

We posted Septic Flesh's relatively new album Communion not too long ago, and in honor of the upcoming SF concert we're going to in Orlando, I decided to post Sumerian Daemons, the album that was released before their temporary break up. This one features the same sort of SF style but on a smaller scale. Of course, the operatic tones are still there, but they didn't have an orchestra of 80+ musicians and singers to their disposal like they did when they recorded Communion. Nonetheless, it's still a joy to listen to. Check it out. :)

Septicflesh - Communion

Communion is the most recent release by Greek death metal band, Septicflesh. The band split in 2003, but announced they would do a reunion show mid 2007; immediately following that they reunited for a 7th album. Communion takes great notice of the atmosphere and intensity it creates, actively jumping from brutal to beautiful. The album also features a full orchestra and choir, with more than 100 musicians. Listen, let me know what you think, buy it if you like. Enjoy!
