Speaking of metal...

The new(-ish) Evoken might be one of the best albums in years. Seriously.

I could do without the 6 minute intro. Kinda sounds like Nirvana on downers. Tobin S. May 2013 #1

I've really enjoyed the new sigh album In Somniphobia Arcanetrance May 2013 #3

The rest of the tune wasn't too bad. It sort of reminds me of some of that slow, grinding stoner metal Type O Negative used to make. The whole tune would probably sound better with a marijuana buzz.

That's probably crucial to enjoying them. I think of it as depressive, but not in a weepy way like My Dying Bride, or a theatrical/slightly ironic way like Type O.
