Robbed Tomb - The Fall Of Heaven's Realm (1995)

Band: Robbed Tomb
Album: The Fall Of Heaven's Realm
Year: 1995
Genre: Death/Doom Metal

I found this band a couple of weeks ago, and I'm glad I did. Robbed Tomb were a band from Belarus (a kinda weird place to find a something like this, in my opinion). They play a very nice type of Death/Doom, incorporating a lot of synth work, giving this album a very folk-ish feel to it (sometimes it reminds me of Summoning). They also use a lot of clean vocals, wich also gives this a nice melodic and melancholic atmosphere. You know, I was never any good at writing reviews, so I'll just shut up and give you the link. Enjoy!

Bardo Pond - Bufo Alvarius, Amen 29:15 (1995)

I don't really know how to classify this album. Drone, shoegaze, noise rock, post rock, space rock, psychedelic rock, or is it some kind of Frankenstein monster made up of all of them? Fuzzy droning guitars build up layers of solid sound and then the band weaves melodies through the wailing wall of sound, whether they are some sort of cosmic blues, meditative chant, or some other remnant of whatever musical influences built this album.

The main portion of the album explores all of the possibilities contained within that collection of influences. The album ends on the collosal "Amen," and while I love the kind of sloppy noisy blues rock that makes up the rest of the album, Amen feels relaxing. It relieves the tension of the album. It is almost a peaceful song, despite the droning guitar. The bells and the female vocalist have a sort of beauty that is lacking in the rest of the album and is a fitting way to end it.

I figured this was the least likely album of my possible choices to have overlap with the group, so hopefully I will be giving some people a new listening experience. DemonCashew is pretty positive about it, so hopefully thats a good sign for the rest of your preferences. (Though he likes Lady Gaga and Animal Collective so I'm not sure if we can trust him.) He says I should mention the vocals, which I guess are kind of weird when they are actually trying to say something. I don't know what that guy is going on about.

Lepra - Leprosos Satanicos (1995)

Sorry for that pathetic image. That was the only one I could find. I guess I posted this in the group too. But no one seem to take notice except RectalMorbidity and Estanford.This has been a really long time since i rated a death metal album with a 4.5 stars on RYM. I must say that this band absolutely slays. Great death/grind with riff fest. The vocalist is an absolute monster, I must say there are very few dudes who deliver better vocals in death metal than the guy in this band.He uses pitch shifts to excellnt results. Too bad the lyrices are in Spanish.Anyone who hasnt yet heard them should definitely check them out.This is going to be on my playlist for a long long time.
And finally to quote our death metal veteran Necrobobsledder aka Rectalmorbidity - "That guy makes Glen Benton sound like Madonna!" (referring to the vocalist).

Patterns Make Sunrise - s/t 7" (1995)

This is another shot in the dark, I'm not sure if any of you guys will like this but here goes...

Patterns Make Sunrise were a fairly low key Indie/Emo band from Seattle. They existed from 1993-1995. They only released this one 7" as far as I can tell, and consequently seem to have slipped through the cracks of history. It's unfortunate because this is quality stuff, though somewhat derivative.

Musically Patterns Make Sunrise play a jangly brand of mid 90's emo with a tight driving rhythm section (the drums in particular stand out as quality). They often play poppy/catchy slower sections, which are then offset by sections with more driving drums and angular guitar.

Musically my only real complaints are that the vocals can be off putting at times, and the short length.

Give this a shot, you may be surprised and like it.

Neil Young - Dead Man O.S.T. (1995)

This is some cataclysmic, post apocalyptic shit. Forget what you thought you knew about Neil Young, his work for the soundtrack of Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man is an excellent dystopian soundscape. Droning electric guitar interspersed with dialog from the movie.

The soundtrack is still great out of context, but I'm going to put up the movie for your enjoyment as well. It's a great surrealistic western.
