Austere - To Lay Like Old Ashes (2009)

Genre: Melodic Depressive Suicidal Black Metal with Emo infuences (not kidding...)
About: Another great album, but they must be getting bored with Black Metal because towards the 2/3 mark of this album, they switch to emo vocals. Which is... interesting... But you can come to your own judgement.

Jimmy Eat World - Always Be (Instrumental) (256kbps AAC / m4a) (Chase this Light Single)

Genre: rock, emo, alternative, alternative rock, indie
About: This is my favorite song off of their 2007 album, Chase this Light. Unfortunately the instrumental version is only available in Tiger Woods 2009. Ripped by myself through a 3.5mm cable and a Creative Audigy 2 sound card, converted from WAV to AAC through iTunes. I apologize since the quality isn't perfect but I tend to be an audiophile and it's acceptable to me.

Thrice - The Alchemy Index Vols. 3 & 4: Air & Earth, Vols. 1 & 2: Fire & Water

Genre: Progressive Rock, Emo, Post-Hardcore
About: This band started out as a fairly generic emo/post-hardcore band but has since found their own very unique sound. This 4-part concept album (First half released 2007, second half released April 2008) is split into 4 parts: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and each part has a unique sound. This album is closer to Progressive Rock than anything else in my opinion, but it doesn't fit into any one category. This is a must-listen for fans of these genres.
