Marsbro's Recent Digs and Such
Try as I might, I can't stop exploring music and listening to as much as I can. Here's a bunch of the stuff I've been into recently. Maybe some of it will peak your interest. |
| 1 |  | Kalisia
Cybion
Progressive death metal in the vein of Persefone. Awesome, but doesn't have a well-structured purpose or direction at times, which bogs it down. |
| 2 |  | Ab-Soul
Do What Thou Wilt.
Rap; would be better if it was trimmed down from it's very long runtime |
| 3 |  | Kendrick Lamar
To Pimp a Butterfly
Hip-hop/Rap |
| 4 |  | Lupe Fiasco
Tetsuo and Youth
Hip-hop/Rap; amazing how he can release something this amazing and turn around and do something absolutely awful. I love how this record flows through the seasonal instrumental tracks and it has great features. |
| 5 |  | Jay-Z
Reasonable Doubt
Rap; like him much more than B.I.G. tbh |
| 6 |  | Nas
Illmatic
Hip-hop that doesn't quite achieve the same hype for me as it seems to for others, but it's still damn fine |
| 7 |  | Persefone
Aathma
Progressive metal firing on all cylinders. These guys are the best. |
| 8 |  | System of a Down
Toxicity
Got around to listening to this for the first time in many years and actually enjoyed it much more this time. Glad it clicked. |
| 9 |  | Scarface
The Diary
Rap, featuring a man with a smooth ass voice and sick beats |
| 10 |  | The Ocean
Precambrian
Pelagial > this if I'm being honest, but both of them are top tier fo sho. Mastodoen-esque heaviness with prog metal tendencies with some metalcore-like songwriting. It works together in a pretty awesome way. |
| 11 |  | Quo Vadis
Defiant Imagination
Very solid melodic death metal. Wish they'd get a new album out. |
| 12 |  | Fort Minor
The Rising Tied
I went in with very low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. Hip-hop/rap that does have some admittedly low low points, but with some very notable high points that can go toe-to-toe with the best. Yeah, it's that guy from Linkin Park, but he's so much better here |
| 13 |  | Trophy Scars
Darkness, Oh Hell
Used to not like these vocals, but I grew to love them immensely. Not sure how exactly a human being can possess chords so harsh but bluesy at the same time, but here we are and they work amazingly. |
| 14 |  | Eminem
The Marshall Mathers LP
Rap that hardly ever makes compromises, dealing with subjects through a balance of humor and some violent, very serious parts. |
| 15 |  | In Vain
Aenigma
Think of a slower Persefone, in all honesty. Awesome prog metal that deserves more attention. |
| 16 |  | Brontide
Artery
Post rock/math rock that is fucking groovy, catchy, and emotional. It's incredibly addicting and is certainly something I think a wide variety of people would enjoy. |
| 17 |  | The Fall Of Boss Koala
Reference Points
Emo paired with post-rock; worth a listen, has some great crescendos combined with very a very passionate delivery. |
| 18 |  | Dodheimsgard
666 International
Industrial-influenced black metal; the experimental tag is thrown on a lot of artists, but you can count on these guys deserving it more than most. It is, at the very least, a very interesting and unique listen that you won't really find elsewhere. |
| 19 |  | The Brave Little Abacus
Just Got Back from the Discomfort
Talk about a divisive voice. Indie/emo that incorporates a lot of outside elements to form a product that is both heartfelt and outside the box in its own way. |
| 20 |  | The Newfound Interest in Connecticut
Tell Me About the Long Dark Path Home
Melancholic, atmospheric emo/post-rock that's criminally underrated. It's full of feeling and captures your attention from start to finish. |
| 21 |  | Audrey Fall
Mitau
Post rock/metal full of energy and captivating songwriting. Not as generic as some say it is. Comparable to an act like Long Distance Calling, I think. |
| 22 |  | Moving Mountains
Pneuma
Post-rock/emo |
| 23 |  | Jungbluth
Part Ache
Screamo/hardcore that goes right for your fucking throat. Maybe not the most ground-breaking or technical or whatever, but it's angry as all hell and will do whatever it can to let you know that. |
| 24 |  | Gillian Carter
Lost Ships Sinking With The Sunset
Emo with some post-rock tendencies; they've got a solid discography building up that's worth a listen to any fans of the genre. |
| 25 |  | Danse Macabre
Synkopenleben, Nein Danke.
Metalcore/hardcore/emo/etc.; can appeal to many different people. It's a short but chaotic listen. |
| 26 |  | An Embrace of Angels
'Ere January Be Unwintered
Post rock/emo with some post-hardcore thrown in the mix; it's got plenty of passion and masterful ambiance. It opens with an epic 17-minute track that's worth every second. |
| 27 |  | On The Might of Princes
Where You Are and Where You Want to Be
Emo/post-hardcore; they are the best |
| 28 |  | On The Might of Princes
Sirens
Yes, they are the best |
| 29 |  | Earth Rot
Renascentia
S/o to Ebola for recommending this; very solid melodic death metal that's got plenty of heaviness and riffs to go around. If you think your first half of the year isn't death-metally enough yet, time to tune in. |
| 30 |  | Macho Man Randy Savage
Be A Man
Obligatory Randy Savage appearance |
