This is the debut album of Calyces, a (Greek?) progressive metal band. They're quite unknown but I've seen this pop up quite a few times, it's been getting some good press and it's easy to hear why. I'm just at the second track but the production is superb and they sound like a more progressive Mastodon. So far, really good stuff.

Everything about this sounds/looks intriguing (that album art is gorgeous). Gonna queue this up next and report back after  :tup

You spin their "album" The Alexander Theater Sessions?  They released 1 song/mo all year.  Excellent stuff.

Busy busy busy morning

Kris Kristofferson - Kristofferson (yesterday afternoon technically)
Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
Florence + The Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
Florence + The Machine - Higher Than Hope
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - Raising Sand
+ several Enya tracks and Robert Plant's Band of Joy's "Harm's Swift Way" on loop  :biggrin:

EDIT: I am listening to a lot of country lately and absolutely loving it. This morning I've got Linda Ronstadt's Heart Like A Wheel and Reba McEntire's For My Broken Heart. Thinking about some Crystal Gayle and Dolly Parton next.

if you haven't yet, listen to Fancy by Reba.  Not sure an artist has made a cover their own more than she did with that song.

I will check that out this afternoon, probably put on another Reba album as well, and revisit the new Bruce Springsteen again, which is absolutely fantastic.

I was aware of this, but never checked it out.  I don't really love them, but it's pretty good when I'm in the right mood.  I should still check it out.

Just finished listening to Rise Radiant by Caligulas Horse, so good

2 full plays this morning. If you've ever heard ACDC, you know exactly what you're getting here, but damn is it good fun rock, and that's all it needs to be. It's crazy how good these guys sound, as old as they are.

Also crazy how Wal-Mart has vinyls of these but literally no CD copies. That surprised me.

Damn this album is so fucking harsh and noisy yet so melodic and emotional, I love it. Power Noise / Industrial-Techno stuff, like what club music actually sounds like to your ears.

Really impressed with the ACDC.... by ACDC standards.  Bruce was really good too, but I was multi-tasking my way thru that with work yesterday.
