| Muffins v. Indiana: New Favorites Since Joining Sputnik
I know I'm just a newbie, but in just under 2 months I've found a lot of new music through what I've read on Sputnik. When I've been here long enough to have at least some credibility, I'll make a much better list then this one. For now, I thank the Sputnik community for allowing me such a great medium with which to find so much music that I probably wouldn't have found otherwise. | | 1 |  | Agalloch
Ashes Against the Grain
It's a kind of folk/progressive sound meets black metal. I'm not used to hearing something like this, but I like it. | | 2 |  | Ahab
Call of the Wretched Sea
Excellent funeral doom. As said by another member of the site. | | 3 |  | Burzum
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Unique in it's delivery and even catchy. I'm going to look into more Burzum. | | 4 |  | Darkthrone
A Blaze in the Northern Sky | | 5 |  | Immortal
Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism | | 6 |  | Insomnium
Above the Weeping World | | 7 |  | Septic Flesh
Communion | | 8 |  | Triptykon
Eparistera Daimones
Heavy as hell and Satanic in a way that both meets and breaks with the traditions of other black metal and death metal bands that have done similar topics. You're truly taken to a horrible and despicable place when you listen to this. Tom Gabriel Fischer delivers here. | |

09.27.10 | 3,4,5,6 are all relatively well-known. the rest I agree you prolly would've never found without sputnik | Urinetrouble
09.27.10 | lol ahab lol | Emim
09.27.10 | Ugh, funeral doom | scissorlocked
09.27.10 | You're gonna love 1 even more,it's kinda worshipped here
Communion is also great | renovatio786
09.27.10 | Yeah, I'm definitely warming up quickly to Agalloch. The Mantel is great too, I just need to listen to it a bit more. But I like the overall sound that Agalloch strives for and the fact that they achieve it pretty well. As for Septic Flesh, Sumerian Daemons is pretty good too. | renovatio786
09.27.10 | To Urinetrouble, sure Ahab probably won't last too long, what with all the whale stuff, but Call of the Wretched Sea was good enough to keep me interested until the end. Nice atmosphere, riffs that invoke an image of the ocean, and a nice flow. | LukeB84
09.27.10 | 7 is the shit | renovatio786
09.27.10 | 7 is the shit
Oh yes. Death metal meets symphonic arrangements that actually accompanies and compliments the guitars riffs well. Very refreshing and an exciting listen to those who are open to it. | scissorlocked
09.27.10 | i know their singer
he is a good painter but he's rather uncapable of playing bass and the whole band kinda sucked at live performances
however they are One of Greece's best metal acts | renovatio786
09.27.10 | If that's true, then Greece is doing well. It sucks when bands suck live though. Kinda takes away from the experience of the songs in a way, especially for those who really, really like them. (and when their simply grand on the album) | LukeB84
09.27.10 | I liked how on the Communion album of theirs they didnt have tons of breakdowns like generic death metal bands these days. They involved the orchestra and symphonic arrangements making every song on it unique. | scissorlocked
09.27.10 | yeah,the guitarist is a classically trained musician capable of doing this stuff well | renovatio786
09.27.10 | I know, right? And they did it without sounding like they were throwing themselves into a power metal sound. It's still death, just with a little symphonic flare to it to make it interesting. And finally, gods like Anubis (a bad ass god) get their own songs in death metal, which is known for sticking to the hypocrisy of the christian church when religion is brought up. In a world overrun with Bloodbaths, Septic Flesh is welcome. |
