Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris

2000; 11 tracks

Lykathea Aflame was a brutal death metal band formed by Petr Tománek and Martin Corn, of Appalling Spawn. They have only released this album. I'm not much of a death metal fan but Elvenefris is a fucking beautiful album, the only one of it's kind, and not one person who has listened to it will disagree. Phonsie is the one who turned me on to it, and it gave me a whole new perspective on how amazing this sort of music can be.

The Fucking Champs - III

1997; 25 tracks

III was a 25-track double album released under the moniker C4AM95, but they are now The Fucking Champs. The Fucking Champs is a purely instrumental band who synthesize classic guitar rock and more avant-garde styles into one coherent sound. Voivod only wishes it came up with these riffs first.

Flawless victory

I hate writing descriptions for albums. Just listen to the goddamn thing. It's awesome, I promise.

Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element, Part1

2000; 12 tracks

This is my favorite of all Pain of Salvation albums. I'd have to say that the lyrical content is the most striking to me - it's maturity, it's subject matter... they are all unprecedented. Plus, Daniel G.'s vioce is pretty amazing in and of itself. The entire album looks as if it's a concept album, which it probably is, but I like to think of each song as a journey. They are all difficult songs to understand - that may be why I love this album so so much. My favorite tracks are Used, Ashes, King of Loss, and Her Voices. And then, one of the few songs that I can call my favorite in the entire world: the title track, The Perfect Element.

I set myself on fire, to breed the Perfect Element...

I've decided to post music, since Allison is just posting silly pictures and stuff.
