Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Ensiferum is back!
This is by far the best Petri Lindroos era album. Victory Songs was OK, but From Afar destroys it...I've been spinning this album so much recently. They added more symphonic touches, which I like, and the vocals and choirs sound better as well. There are also some cool breakdowns, like the female vocal part in Twilight Tavern, and the middle section of Stone Cold Metal that feels like an Ennio Morricone spaghetti western, which makes sense considering they thanked Ennio in the booklet. Long live Ensiferum!

Ensiferum Iron CD  (2004) Bonus Track

From Afar
CD $11.49  5 stars Audio Samples
Finnish folk-influenced melodic death metal produced by Flemming Rasmussen. Spinefarm. 2004. Much like the sword-wielding Norseman depicted on its front sleeve, the eponymous debut album from Ensiferum unexpectedly invaded the new millennium's budding Viking metal landscape, speedily conquered the loyalties of unsuspecting listeners, and proceeded to set up a permanent settlement within the hearts of many devoted metal fans of all stripes. The strategy for this wholesale takeover was really quite simple, ...

Ensiferum Dragonheads CD  (2006)

From Afar
CD $8.15  4 stars Audio Samples
Finland’s sword-bearing metal merchants Ensiferum present a crushing mini-CD, filled to the brim with melodies honouring the Nordic pagan heritage, delivered with the firm conviction of seasoned professionals they are. “Dragonheads” is also the first Ensiferum recording to feature Petri Lindroos from Norther as a full member of the band on guitar and vocals, filling the boots left by Jari Mäenpää (now pursuing a successful solo career with Wintersun). Another newcomer is Janne Parviainen (ex-Barathrum, ex-Waltari) on drums, who replaced Oliver Fokin. ...

From Afar
CD $13.09  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
In melodic death metal and symphonic black metal, the contrast between extreme and non-extreme elements is a lot like the contrast between what jazz musicians call "inside" and "outside" playing. Some avant-garde jazz favors an inside/outside approach; some avant-garde jazz favors outside playing from start to finish -- and similarly, whether a melodic death metal or symphonic black metal album makes greater use of extreme elements or greater use of non-extreme elements depends on the artist. Skyforger, it turns out, is a melodic death metal album that keeps the extreme elements to a bare minimum and is greatly influenced by progressive metal and power metal as well as folk metal. This late 2008/early 2009 recording ...
Roadhouse Nightmare
Phantom 357 Roadhouse Nightmare CD  (2009)

From Afar
CD $6.39
Phantom Rock n Roll! LA based Phantom.357 brings an energetic new mix to rock n’ roll. Their music draws elements from many genres of music including punk, metal and rockabilly. The result is equivalent to a rock n roll .357 gun blast. The newest release “Roadhouse Nightmare” is an aggressive punk rock n roll 7-song record, a second release from the band. It shows a musical growth brought on by the addition of three new members to the group. The police sirens on the opening track “Danger City” signals that you’ve entered a nightmarish city that requires you to have a .357 pistol on you at all times. The curiously titled “What’s Wrong with this Picture (Peter Frampton)” shows a mature arrangement, as it departs from the straightforward punk of the opening songs on the disc favoring a more melodic introspective narrative. The last cut “Just Don’t Care” is the grand finally to their live performances and ...

It was in spring 2004 that Miguel Sarazin (Guitar) and Samuel Jeanson (Guitar) created Never Hit Again, after a couple of tries with other common bands. Alexandre Bédard (Bass) and Julien Domingue (Drums) soon came in to complete the formation which had a modest beginning playing, like a lot of other newborn bands, an awful lot of covers of their favourite ...

The reissue of THE ETHEREAL MIRROR is part of RED's Welcome Home campaign and includes previously unreleased tracks. Cathedral's second full-length album, The Ethereal Mirror, finds the group experimenting a bit with new sounds on their path to discovering the patented sound they would polish on succeeding releases.
