The Tree of Life

Orne are a Progressive Rock Band from Finland created by Peter Vicar of Lord Vicar and Reverend Bizarre fame. A complete turn from those two bands, Orne create music that a peaceful group of settlers might listen to next to a babbling creek with a nice fire going. Filled with pan flutes, saxophones and other medieval instrumentation, The Tree of Life will definitely warm the heart of any Metal Fan out there, enjoy!

Wolves In The Throne Room

Olympia, Washington? Bio-dynamic agriculture? Eco-spiritual? Eco-anarchism? Purifying and transformative black metal? As you can tell, Wolves In The Throne Room aren't you average Black Metal band. They definitely have created something truly unique and use elements of Black Metal with elements of Doom, Dark Ambient, Folk, and Crust. Their songs are usually no shorter than ten minutes and their albums only have 4 or less songs on them. However, this band truly creates something totally dark and depressive that is accustomed to Black Metal. Songs about nature, shamanic rituals, and sorrow create a truly unique twist on a genre of music usually laden with copy cats and redundancy. Enjoy!

Agalloch

With the epic failure of the last post as well as the newly released "Best of" put out by these guys, I bring you Agalloch! Agalloch play avant-garde progressive folk post black metal doom and that's just as stupid as it sounds. However, it sounds awesome regardless of whatever nifty name you give it. They definitely have talent and it has substantially increased with each record. They've only had 3 official full lengths and a ton of splits, demos, and ep's. Out of all the albums I'd have to say that The Mantle and Ashes Against The Grain are my favorite... but I'd say I listen to Ashes Against The Grain a whole lot more. So you be the judge because I'm posting both epic albums. Now this isn't your typical black metal.... they aren't Immortal or Darkthrone. They play a more instrumental based type of prog-rock with black metal vocals (at times) as well as clean vocals. The music itself will give you a feeling of cold frostbitten despair right off buck. I'm serious, listen to "Limbs" off of Ashes Against The Grain and within the first 30 seconds a chill runs down your spine... and believe it or not, this band is from Oregon.

2002 - "The Mantle"

01 - A Celebration For The Death of Man...
