Rotting Christ-Sleep Of The Angels


Rotting Christ focuses on harmonies rather than discordance.
All throughout this album, from the keyboard intro of Cold Colours to the fading melody to Thine Is The Kingdom on which it ends, this album is filled to the brim with simple, memorizing melodies, powerful rhythms, soothing/harsh deep vocals and drumming that can only be described as epic behind them. There is not a single 'bad' aspect of this album I can think of. It's got enough variety to keep you from getting bored and an overwhelming amount of feeling to it that practically speaks to you.
If you are wanting to check out Rotting Christ I very heavily recommend this album.

1. Cold Colours

Agathodaimon-Blacken The Angel


Agathodaimon is a band that doesn't get the atention it deserves. Ofcourse, tis can be said about many black metal projects, but Agathodaimon is one of the most underrated ones. They play symphonic black metal, without being cheesy or sounding like an orchestra.
The songs are built up almost entirely on guitars and piano interludes, drums being unremarkable. The music is mid tempoed, filled with darkness and emotions. The vocals are really good, they manage to sound not so depressive, thus the music doesn't have that suicidal feel to it, being more like a ballad. Female vocals are also present, the screams and clean singing making a great duett on the song Near Dark. This song is the highlight of the album, lasting for a massive 15 minutes.

Tracklist:
1. Tristetea Vehementa
2. Banner of Blasphemy
3. Near Dark
4. Ill of an Imaginary Guilt
5. Die Nacht des Unwesens
6. Contemplation Song
7. Sfintit Cu Roua Suferintii
8. Stingher / Alone
9. After Dark
10. Ribbons / Requiem

King Diamond-The Eye


As with most King Diamond albums this album features a storyline. Its about a necklace called 'The Eye', of which when looked straight into takes you back to see everything the eye has seen. It talks about the Torture of Jeanne Dibbasson and her execution, followed by a story about Madeleine, who joins a convent, and is seduced by Father David, whom dies the next day. Father Picard arrives and rapes some of the nuns and has them participate in rituals, by which they all slowly go insane. The album is filled with great guitar solos - one of which features the devil himself, drum fills, and memorable riffs and keyboard melodies.
The lyrics, as usual by the King, are superb. They perfectly tell the story and imply all the gruesome details whilst still leaving space for your imagination, especially in The Meetings, within the last verse. The Vocals are a love hate thing, although as usual, King has only improved with how high he can go, and can use a range of different tones. The biggest difference between the vocals in this album compared to Them or Abigail, is how much softer and less peircing the vocals sound, there truly perfect.

Tracklist:
01 - Eye Of The Witch
02 - The Trial
03 - Burn
04 - Two Little Girls
05 - Into The Convert
06 - Father Picard
07 - Behind These Walls
08 - The Meetings
09 - Insanity
10 - 1642 Imprisonment
11 - The Curse
