The New Music Thread : The Infinite Edition

Nospūn - "Ozai" E.P.

Here's what the band have to say about it:

"As some of you may know, before we became Nospūn we were operating under a different name. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the release of the “Ozai EP”. We still absolutely love these songs and want to give them the attention we think they deserve, so we are re-releasing it later this year! Everything will be re-recorded, remixed, remastered, and we’re including a bonus track that wasn’t originally on the EP!"

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GO TO PAGE FIVE OF THIS THREAD & TELL ME WHETHER OR NOT IT TAKES EONS FOR IT TO LOAD??

Dream Theater - "Parasomnia"

The progressive metal gods sixteenth full-length album is due for release on 7th Feburary & will no doubt dominate all proghead's thoughts & discussions for several months afterwards.

Jinjer - Duél

On the same day that Dream Theater release their newest album, Ukranian's Jinjer return with their fifth studio album Duél. I have no idea what to expect from this since...well a lot has happened in the bands home and native land since 2021's Wallflowers.

Sadist - "Something to Pierce" [Italian progressive/technical death metal]

Killer new single from these San Francisco-based progressive/tech-death metallers:

Green Carnation - "A Dark Poem, Pt. I: The Shores of Melancholia"

No matter what stylistic path they take, GREEN CARNATION have never shied away from grand, gloomy statements.

Founded in the early ‘90s by former Emperor bassist Tchort, the Norwegian act quickly amassed a cult following thanks to one of the most ambitious epics in metal history. Even before going on hiatus during the mid-2000s, the ever-evolving auteurs still flashed a flare for the dramatic by performing their acoustic verses underneath a mountain dam. However, there was one tale — or three, to be exact — that continued to elude them. Until now. With the ‘A Dark Poem’ trilogy starting now, GREEN CARNATION finally unveil their masterpiece.

The idea for an album trilogy stems from GREEN CARNATION’s earliest yesteryears, but the first part of ‘A Dark Poem’ cites various passages from across their illustrious cannon. Lead single “In Your Paradise” reaches newfound peaks of heaviness, swept out to sea by sublime riffs and somber symphonic flourishes. While navigated with the band’s familiar mastery, the view from ‘The Shores of Melancholia’ is far from heavenly. Judgement day appears around every corner, steering them from the title track’s scarlet clouds of war toward Floydian whirlpools drenched in paranoia before being shipwrecked by second wave black metal.

“A lesson learned, now bridges burn”, bearded captain Kjetil Nordhus cries out with impassioned cleans, as if tied to the mast during the album’s fiery send-off.

On ‘A Dark Poem, Part I: The Shores of Melancholia’, GREEN CARNATION set sail on an epic journey into a dark night of the soul. 

Between the Buried & Me - "The Blue Nowhere"

Progressive metal visionaries Between the Buried and Me return with their most immersive and eclectic record yet—The Blue Nowhere. Mixing uncharted musical detours with their distinctive aggressive identity, the band create a conceptual world unlike anything in their incredible catalog.
