Unholy Cadaver released a demo in 1998 and then renamed in Hammers Of Misfortune. 13 years later we have this record, that includes the demo songs plus more. Imagine Hammers Of Misfortune in a more Black/Death way combined with the weirdness of Cathedral. Amazing songs that combine everything, from doom to progressive heavy, from death to black. It definately enters in my 2011 top album list.

Agalloch - Pale Folklore

Genre: Atm.Folk/Black
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 1999

1. She Painted Fire Across The Skyline - Part I
2. She Painted Fire Across The Skyline - Part II
3. She Painted Fire Across The Skyline - Part III
4. The Misshapen Steed
5. Hallways Of Enchanted Ebony
6. Dead Winter Days
7. As Embers Dress The Sky
8. The Melancholy Spirit

Debut album by Agalloch. They took their folky black metal style (demos era) and mingled it with post rock. The result is an intriguing album, with the atmosphere of black metal laid out in post rock fashion  and some folky guitar playing thrown into the mix.  It's very folk inspired, a lot of great guitar playing and the instrumentals are truly breathtaking. The simplicity of this album displays that it's not always necessary to throw in technical riffs and solos to shape uniquely creative songs.

Slough Feg - The Lord Weird Slough Feg

Genre: Heavy
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 1996


1. Shadows Of The Unborn
2. 20th Century Wretch
3. Blarney Stone
4. The Red Branch
5. Why Not
6. High Season III
7. High Season IV
8. Highway Corsair

Debut album by (The Lord Weird) Slough Feg. This is a delightfully cool disc of folky, upbeat heavy metal, with one of the best vocalists you'll ever have the pleasure of hearing. It has a completly unique sound largely due in part to the incredible tenor voice of singer Mike Scalzi. The music sounds like the epic metal stylings of Manilla Road or Solstice combined with good amounts of Maiden in the guitar works and most everything they do has a bit of a celtic feel.

Ludicra - Hollow Psalms

Genre: Black
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2002


1. Tomorrow Held In Scorn
2. Hollow Promise
3. The Final Lamentation
4. Userpent
5. Heaped Upon Impassive Floors
6. Damn The Night
7. Tragedia
8. Awake To Grey

Debut album by Ludicra. While their influences (Darkthrone, Dissection, Satyricon) shine through in their music, their sound is defiantly unique. The album is progressive in the sense that strange things always happen in each track. Shanaman’s screams are some of the best that any female metal vocalist has to offer.There’s a certain power to the drummer’s performance, too, as he fluidly shifts between styles.

Debut album by Hammers Of Misfortune. Their music is described as progressive metal with elements of doom metal and NWOBHM. It is a three-act concept album, a swords-and-sorcery epic about vengeance, royalty and betrayal, told through the stellar songwriting of guitarist Cobbett and the triad of vocalists Mike Scalzi (Slough Feg, etc.), former Ministry bassist Janis Tanaka and Cobbett himself. Awesome record!
