DJ Smooth Denali - Who's The Greatest MC Vol. 8: Big Pun (2006)



(NSFW pic lol)


Genre: (Old School Rap), (Hip-Hop), (Rap)
About: I feel obligated to post this as today (February 7) is the 10th anniversary of his death. He is IMO the greatest rapper that has ever lived, or will ever live. He not only rapped perfectly, but his music was always enthralling and at times melodic and he always had a humorous edge to him (such as the intro to the album "Yeeeah Baby"). Appropriately, he was a huge football fan, and today was the Super Bowl. He had a song called "New York Giants" and one lyric I always remember is "John madden tackle your corpse and hoist it on the tabernacle".

I don't care if you are a die hard metalhead, download this NOW! And awaken your ears.

Pagan Reign - Discography (with correct English tags)



Genre: Pagan Folk Black Metal
About: Pagan Reign (Rus) is proof that good music is made in russia. This is just enthralling pagan metal. Similar to most other pagan metal, Ensiferum, Moonsorrow, etc, but with a unique touch. The first album sounds rather demo-ey and crude (though with good recording), but by the later albums they found a really great atmosphere for themselves... then broke up D:< ... Anyway, If you get this anywhere else it'll probably be weird non-existant characters like "Đŕäĺăŕńň" or Russian, so enjoy :)... With the exception of the EP is in Russian, I can't find the translations.

Wormphlegm - Tomb of the Ancient King (2006)




Genre: Suicidal Funeral Doom/Black Metal, Atmopsheric/Drone
About: I've had a seriously terrible day, so this is just what i need right now. I believe that music that fits your mood will help you the most. This is why angry people listen to hardcore, emos listen to emo all the time, etc. But I am not a robot, my moods change, hence i need different genres of music.

Anywho, this is some seriously dark music. The ambiance is set by simple low piano notes, and then you're sucked into a vortex that leads straight to hell. Enjoy :)

Current line-up
Maggotworm Incinerator Abscess - drums, vocals
Grubgorge Pestilent Diarrhoeator - guitars, bass, vocals

Track List:
1. Epejumalat monet tesse muinen palveltin caucan ja lesse 30:15
2. Tomb of the Ancient King 13:18
3. Return of the Ice Age and the Tortyrant 17:32

About: Time for a rare non-metal post. This album is just so smooth... it's like a good beer. If this music does not make you move, you should get your head checked. This is quite simply the best [old school] rap/hip hop to come out of New York City (all of which from the good ol' 90's). All mixed together in a non-stop mix by the genius DJ Smooth Denali. I just got a notice about illegally sharing copywrited material (torrents) on my school network, and this album is making me feel better, so i thought i'd share copywrited material! (mediafire) :D

It includes all the classics... Fat Joe, Big Pun, Big L, Notorious BIG, Kool G Rap, Gangstarr (who i had the chance to see live but didn't, grrrrr..), and even old school Jay Z and Nas (when they were a lot better), and a lot of good stuff i never heard of.

Ministry of Sound - The Annual 2006-2009 (Complete and correct id3 Tags!)




Genre: Trance, Electronic, dance
About: The Ministry of Sound is a club in britain, but they also put out a lot of mix albums. My favorite of which is the Annual, which they put out towards the end of every year, for the next year. So the 2006 annual was released in late 2005, etc. They take the top dance artists of the year and put them into one giant non-stop collection, and it's awesome. They are all two cd's except 2008, which is 3.

I fixed all the tags, so that the artist is Ministry of sound (and they are an artist, a remix artist similar to DJ Mystik, etc.) and the tracks are tagged Artist - Title, and the track numbers are tagged right. You won't find that anywhere else.

Included:

Ministry of Sound - The Annual 2006 (2005)


Ministry of Sound - The Annual 2007 (2006)


Ministry of Sound - The Annual 2008 (2007)


Ministry of Sound - The Annual 2009 (2008)

Kaledon - Discography 2008




Genre: Power Metal, Melodic Metal, Speed Metal
About: This is a really great and surprisingly unique power metal band from Italy. The albums are one ongoing epic story about the land called "Kaledon". So if you like even one song you should really listen to them all. And here they are all in one rar file! :) And I must say, it's an impressive pace they are putting out these albums, especially since they all sound coherent to each other, all telling different parts of the same story.

Note: They're all in one folder, but they are tagged right so if you add them to a music organizer such as itunes, winamp, etc, they should be sorted properly by album.

Included:
Kaledon - Legend of the Forgotten Reign - Chapter 1: The Destruction (2002)
Kaledon - Legend of the Forgotten Reign - Chapter 2: The King's Rescue (2003)
Kaledon - Legend of the Forgotten Reign - Chapter 3: The Way of the Light (2005)
Kaledon - Legend of the Forgotten Reign - Chapter 4: Twilight of the Gods (2006)
Kaledon - Legend of the Forgotten Reign - Chapter 5: A New Era Begins (2008)

Please support the band if you feel their work is worth your hard-earned money. It's fairly slow download, but at least one of the files i have uploaded on mediafire (track 14 of chapter 2) is staticy. Seriously, why can't people check their files? Anyway, here's the link:

Fuck The Facts - Complete Full Length Studio Albums Discography! (2001-2008)





Genre: A fantastic genre-bending band with lots of great and original ideas. Highly recommended. Basic genres are:
Early- Grindcore, Noise.
Mid- Experimental, electronic.
Later- Death Metal, Progressive Metal.
(but every album is different, see details below.)

About: Topon has stated numerous times that the name "Fuck the Facts" was chosen, in part, as a statement about his attitude towards the music he wrote. He tried not to feel hampered by genre labels, and that is reflected in the musical style. The earlier Fuck the Facts recordings up until approximately 2000 featured a combination of grindcore and noise.


Download Fuck The Facts - Discoing the Dead (2001) (grindcore, noise, death metal, electronic, experimental, disco, jazz)

Though those two genres were prominent during this era of recording, many other styles crept into the music as well including death metal, electronic and even as some as diverse as disco and jazz. When Discoing the Dead was released in early 2001, it retained many of these experimental styles, paving the way for the beginning of the first incarnation of Fuck the Facts as a full band.


Download Fuck The Facts - Escunta (2002 release date) (Noise, Experimental)

[This album is really all about mindfuck (similar to the movie- "The Machinist"). It's genius in my opinion. My favorite at first listen is "They Call It Dance Musick". Then there's "Fuck The Facts Is Sexy" which is what I would imagine getting run over with a train would sound like.
(Re-ripped on 07/27/2009 using EAC... more info and logs included)]
Vagina Dancer and Escunta, recorded in 2000 and 2001 respectively, are the core of these noise recordings. [However, Vagina Dancer is not listed on metal-archives as a full length album, plus it was only ever released on tape so I am not including it here.]


Download Fuck The Facts - Mullet Fever (2001) (punk, grindcore, experimental, rap, hip-hop, jazz, electronic, noise)

Mullet Fever was released in 2002 and featured a more punk-influenced grindcore sound. However, many of the songs included more experimental (for grindcore) styles including rap, hip-hop, jazz, noise and electronic. [Track 19 is actually closer to raw black metal] The album was largely recorded in one session of the band recording their own jam session and some minimal editing afterwards, and may explain why this album stands out on its own in terms of musical style and scope.


Download Fuck The Facts - Backstabber Etiquette (2003) (death metal, technical metal)

When Backstabber Etiquette was recorded in 2002, vocalist Mel Mongeon had replaced Christoff, and her distinctive growl was markedly different than Brent's deep sound. Mel's higher pitched scream became the norm for the band. The musical style became more heavily influenced by death metal and showed more technical aspirations.


Download Fuck The Facts - Legacy Of Hopelessness EP (2005) (electronic, grindcore)

Legacy of Hopelessness showcased a bit of a departure for the band in that it had a lot more electronic influences. Keyboards are featured on nearly every track, and are sometimes the primary focus. Of course, grindcore is still quite present as well as Mel's distinctive vocals. The change in musical style can probably be attributed to the fact that this was initially intended to be a solo release by Topon, but was migrated over to the band when it was realized that another full-length release was not quite feasible.


Download Fuck The Facts - Stigmata High-Five (2006) (Progressive Metal, Experimental, Metalcore, Grindcore, Death Metal)

Stigmata High-Five represents the latest musical style of the band. The grindcore and death metal elements are still present, but so are more progressive and experimental ideas mixed with metalcore elements. The album contains longer songs with more intricate riffs and atypical time signatures.


Download Fuck The Facts - Disgorge Mexico (2008) (Progressive Metal, Experimental, Metalcore, Grindcore, Death Metal, Jazz, Fusion)

Disgorge Mexico contains shorter songs than Stigmata High-Five but retains a similar overall musical style. In some cases, the experimental ideas are expanded further to the point where one track contains a section that is reminiscent of straight ahead jazz and contains a high register melodic bass solo typical of jazz or fusion. Rhythmic elements often featured in progressive rock are still present, and metric dissonance via polyrhythms are often present.

HeimatAerde (Discography 2008) - COMPLETE




Genre: Electronic body music, Dark Electro, Industrial, Medieval, Techno
About: This is quite simply the most unique band I have ever heard. Whether you like Techno, Death Metal, or Pop, this will appeal to you.**

The lyrics are all in German but who cares, the music is awesome. They also have medieval themes, less prevalent than in their older albums but it can be heard in their latest full-length too, such as at the beginning of "Vater" and at the end of their self-titled track. Here are some loosly-translated lyrics from that track:

"The life of light, I am full of pain
It rips out my heart bleed

The wind, he says, it is now
The body is resting in my arm
Steam rises up, it is still warm
You stay with me, I tear out"

**= Strongly recommended that you do the robot while listening

And here is some information about the genres:
Electronic body music (mainly known by its acronym EBM) is a music genre that combines elements of industrial music and electronic punk music. Dark Electro originally included horror soundscapes, and grunts or distorted vocals. Industrial uses an “industrial” aesthetic such as imagery devised around mechanical objects and industry itself.

Here is the band's official "biography":

Negură Bunget - Om (Negura Bunget - Om)




Genre: Black Metal, Melodic Black Metal, elements of: Ambient
About: This is also one of the best albums of 2006. I feel that it captures the true spirit of Black Metal. And the production is crystal-clear unlike a lot of other 'true' black metal I've heard.

"Negură Bunget is a black metal band from Timişoara, Romania. The name is taken from archaic Romanian meaning ‘Black Foggy Forest’."

The best song is "Inarborat". Starts off a bit rocky sounding but i think that was intentional. The suicidal-ish scream that happens at 2:42 and again near the end is so amazing.

Dark Flood - The Dead Lines




Genre: Melodic Death Metal
About: "The melodies present highly significant role on The Dead Lines by bringing even some indie-pop influences into the melodic death metal scene. The band refuses to categorize itself as only a death metal band because of the members´ interests in emotional music, such as Mew and Tori Amos for example. Yet it is not only about grieving - The Dead Lines also shows more heavier and darker side of the band than before. The album is not necessarily for those who seek the average musical brutality. The songs are images of a wretched side of life itself for every incurable realist." -Stolen from somewhere :)
