So yeah, Sieges Even still kinda bores me. Oh well.
Other stuff I've listened to in the last week:
Ihsahn - The Adversary. This would be an awesome album if there were better production. Like, a LOT better. I mean I realize it's black metal and a clean, crisp sound is totally unheard of, but wtf. Come on. "Called By The Fire" is still a sweet song though.
The Old Dead Tree - Perpetual Motion. Haven't listened to the whole thing, but it's pretty good. Some songs are good, some are ... meh. Another band that would benefit greatly from a ton of cash with which to record a better sounding record. Clean vocals need work.
Allele - Point of Origin. Generic hard rock. Some of it is pretty catchy, but otherwise forgettable.
Beyond Fear - Self titled. Only listened to a couple tracks so far. I had high expectations for whatever reason, and, well, they weren't met. Ripper's voice annoys me after a while.
By Night - Burn the Flags. Might be the worst music I've heard in a while.
Fear My Thoughts - Hell Sweet Hell. Pretty decent melo-death/metalcore/whatever other genre you want to lump the band in. Problem is, all songs sound the same after about ... two songs. And can someone play a freaking lead with a guitar?
Downloaded the new Blackfield. Haven't listened yet, but I have a huge boner for it and will surely be in bliss when I do.
