Acyl - Algebra 2012

Alta trupa franceza, primul lor album, dupa un EP scos in 2010. When metal meets world music...scrie pe al lor site. Si chiar avem metale aici impletite cu acorduri orientale, avem instrumente specifice pentru astfel de ritmuri (Karkabou, Oud). Rezultatul: nici foarte spectaculos, dar nici de lepadat.

01. Ungratefulness
02. Head On Crash
03. Al Kiama chapter 1: Caldeira
04. Al Kiama chapter 2: Cirat
05. Barzakh
06. Back To Death

Les Discrets - Ariettes Oubliées 2012

Proiect al unui artist francez, asta e al doilea album. Atmosfera specfica post-rock-ista, daca pot spune asa, piesele sunt cantate in franceza, si suna chiar ok. Au Creux de L'Hiver si Les Regrets mi-au placut cel mai mult. A se pune spre auditie, daca va pica in mana.

Songs:

 01. Linceul d'hiver
02. La traversée
03. Le mouvement perpétuel
04. Ariettes oubliées I: Je devine à travers un murmure...
05. La nuit muette
06. Au creux de l'hiver
07. Après l' ombre
08. Les regrets
09. Le souffle froid 

10. Ariettes oubliées II: Il pleure dans mon cœur… [feat. Gianluca Divirgilio] 

11. L'échappée [acoustic version]

Musicians:

Audrey Hadorn - vocals
Fursy Teyssier - guitars, bass, vocals
Winterhalter - drums

Sunpocrisy - Samaroid Dioramas 2012

Debut ok pentru prog-metalistii din Italia de felul lor.Apophenia e tare de tot, ultima parte de pe Samaroid, la fel. Influente de tot felul, pasaje dure alternate cu progressive, un baterist care isi face bine treaba. Un album inchegat, merita atentie.

2.Apophenia 10:11
3.Φ - Phi 10:23

At The Graves - Solar 2012

Trupa americana de Doom/Sludge Metal. In afara de un bass acceptabil, restul mi s/a parut anapoda total, si ritm si interpretare. Poate cei mai avizati ca mine in astfel de muzici or avea alta parere. Nu am putut asculta decat maxim un minut din fiecare piesa.








Songs:
1.Intro 01:40
2.A Shield Left to the Unknown 05:51
3.Wildfire Lit 10:25
4.Magnetar 03:34

Thinking Plague - Decline and Fall 2012

Al saselea album al trupei americane de RIO/Avant-Prog, dupa o pauza de noua ani, si care parca nu se ridica la inaltimea ultimelor doua. Au o noua vocalista, dar a ramas Mark Harris la sax-uri. Cui ii place genul asta de muzica, sigur se va delecta. Mie mi-a placut.
