In tha good

Tonight there's no metal in the air. Server that I upload to is not working as you all know, so I've decided that along with a friend I will share a moment of my life daily routine with you all.

I'm stoned. Very. So please take this into account while reading this post. Don't think though that I'm some kind of junkie. Not at all my friends, yet I share along with my friend the pleasure of floating away from this heavy world for just a few hours a day. While the rest of the world rests down below our feet, we are high. We believe that smoking up is not a way to escape, it is just a state of mind that sometimes allows you to see things in a way that they might seem a little more clear. No preconceptions, no judgmental behaviour, just plain old perception. On that matter, I'll leave you this quote:

"When the Doors of perception are cleansed, things will appear as they truly are: infinitive. "
-William Blake

With rhythm and riot you shall stay!
No excuses!

To the brotherhood,
d.

Aussitôt Mort - Montuenga

Aussitôt Mort Myspace

France, again...
I really don't know what's going on in France, but related to music, there are fantastic bands coming from there, such as Aussitôt Mort.
Montuega is their second full-lenght. Out on 2008.
Screamo post-hardcore music sang in their mother language.
You just need to hear their first track 'Mort Mort Mort', how it gonna involve you on amazing layers of sound - atmospheric beautiness!
Very good.

The Firstborn - The Noble Search


'2005 – After 4 years in the writing, the concept-album “The Unclenching of Fists” is finally recorded. Based on the Tibetan “Book of the Dead”, it represents a dramatic shift in both style and content for the band (ProCon Media 2005). 2008 – Further exploring the Buddhist philosophy as a foundation for both lyrics and sound, the band travels to Foel Studio in Wales to record “The Noble Search”. This album, based on the Buddhist Scriptures, represents further experiments in the direction first explored in 2005’s “The Unclenching of Fists” (Major Label Industries 2008).'
-myspace.com/unclenchedfists

Portugal at his best!
The Noble Search out in November 2008 it's the brand new album from one of the most interesting band from here - Portugal. For me.
When i hear their stuff i think: 'Fuck! This guys can't be Portuguese!'
BUT, they are. Astronomous sound they got in here.
Very good indeed...i truly recommend it for the ones who like progressive, avant-garde sound.
(
The Unclenching Of Fists, 2005 album will be posted soon)

Riding Pânico - Lady Cobra


Got references? Isis, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Ulver, Pelican, Mogwai, Sigur Rós, Tool...
Lady Cobra, produced by Makoto Yagyu (If Lucy Fell) and mixed by Chris Common (These Arsms Are Snakes/Minus The Bear) got 9 tracks of pure instrumental music.
In my opinion there are no such great bands in here, Portugal, but these one i have to say, they have my respect. I've seen them live.
I never went to a instrumental concert before...i never thought that i would love it. Sincerely, this is amazing!
Portugal at his best.

Absolute must have!
...and i don't say this because i'm Portuguese, this is not advertising, this is good music.
