Man in the Shadow- Discography

Crazy good emotive hardcore/screamo/whatever band from Solvenia. I feel pretty lucky to stumble upon this band, as they fucking shred hard and have some awesome songs. The recording is raw, gritty, and makes their discography just that much fucking better. Band reminds me of something straight out of the 80s emotive hardcore shit.

They also seem to have a hint of crust/bm in their sound. Although the bm thing is only on one song.

it rules, you need.

Pretend- Bones in the Soil, Rust in the Oil

Holy balls, two posts in one day?! I can barely seem to post shit once a week, but I'm feeling crazy tonight.

Onwards to something I downloaded randomly because, fuck, I can download it. Actually it was compared to toe, and I'm not sure if the comparison was to the American post-rock band (whom I've never heard), or the Japanese one (whom rules). I can't really see many connections between this and the Japanese one, so I'll have to go with it was connected to the American one.

Either way, it's a really long album, over an hour. But I have to say, this has not gotten stale at one point in a full listen. It's really relaxing, and really good. Math-rocky double tapping instruments over a small crashing of drums make this album incredibly. There's vocals from time to time but I rarely pay attention to them as the instrumentation is pretty awesome.

As you can see, I haven't made some dicky little point about how you're wrong if I don't like it, which means that maybe I should at this point. Or maybe not, just download it, relax, and enjoy.

Kolya- Kolya

This is where it's fucking at, and I don't know why it took me so long to post this. Probably because I'm too lazy to upload stuff or look for links. Kolya have pretty much become one of my favorite bands of all time, and if you don't like it I'll find you and kick your teeth in. People aren't allowed to have opinions when facts like 'Kolya was one of the best bands of the 90s' exists.

Being that they fucking ruled, they were completely underrated. It was probably due to the fact that they were a 3 piece that could write some awesome jams. Somnambulism is one hell of the song but the chorus to Idaho is so goddamn catchy.

THIS IS WHERE I-DA-HOOOO BEEEGINNSSSSS

also, if you have their LP, 2nd 7" (conversations and smokescreens/the story becomes the vehicle), sell it to me.

Kid Dynamite- Shorter, Faster, Louder

Every time I think I'm going to get into a groove of posting some awesome music, I just end up not doing. Dunno why.

But onto the point, who seriously doesn't enjoy some Kid Dynamite? Wimpy, little homos, that's who.

Six Organs of Admittance- Luminous Night

So it's winter, it won't fucking stop snowing, and last nights storm destroyed my god damn igloo. I hate the snow now. In other news, I'm thinking of building a super igloo palace in my front yard, with connections running across the whole yard. It'll be fucking magnificent, King Xerxes the Great magnificent.

ALL THE SNOW CREATURES WILL BOW TO MY FEARFUL ROAR.

Or hey, you're snowed in and really bored and looking for some chill music to waste your day to, maybe that one.
