Deepest Apologies, Brave Few
So, I have been completely neglecting my responsibilities to the internet as of late, and doing a lot of things that involve me getting a higher education. It's not fun, but it's expected. We'll see where it takes me.
Anyways, to atone for my most foul of transgressions, I'd like to announce the upcomming...
FRRRREEEEEEE MUSSSIIICCC WEEEEEEKKKKK!
Oh yes, you heard me. Each day this week, beginning on Monday, I will be posting a free album! That should make up for the lack of albums, right? If not, too bad.

Anneke Van Giersbergen & Danny Cavanagh - In Parallel
Some Guy loves to share. You love people who share and therefore you're going to love me. Some Guy also wishes to express his deepest apologies for being such a slacker lately. Some Guy has to go to collage and stuff and they actually make Some Guy do work! Alright, enough with the third person; previously all I've ever done is borrow other blog's download links to stuff, but not this time. For the first time ever, I actually bought an album without pirating it first to make sure it doesn't suck. And here it is in delicious 320 KB/s MP3s.
This album is a live mostly acoustic collaboration between two wonderful musicians, Anneke van Giersbergen (Agua de Annique, ex The Gathering) and Danny Cavanagh (Anathema). All three of those bands are quite awesome, so I figured that this would be REALLY AWESOME with the two of them working together. And I'm not disappointed, it was money well spent.
The album opens with, a Massive Attack cover? If I didn't read the track list that would really have surprised me. And it's a pretty damned good cover as well (Better than the original I'd say). In fact I'd go as far to say that I love every single song on this album more than the original, and that's not just me being blinded by fanboyism. Well, every song except for the song that closes the album, Jolene. The Me First and the Gimme Gimmes' cover of that song is amazing. The highlight of the album would have to be A Natural Disaster. It's a billion times better than the version from the Anathema album of the same name.
I'm convinced that this duo could cover Brokencyde and it would sound good. This is about as good as a live album can be. The production quality is great (There isn't even any annoying noise from the audience!) It will be a fine addition to your ever growing collection of illegally acquired music. This thing had to be shipped over the Netherlands just for you. You better like it, and if you do, buy it.

No password. Mediafire needs to lift that pesky 100 MB per file for free users thing. Or I could share in shittier quality. I think it's obvious which one needs to change though.

Diablo Swing Orchestra - Sing Along Songs For the Damned and Delirious
Some Guy here once more with something that I know I've been waiting awhile for. It's about time an album comes along that is so damned good it makes me squee like a girl when I first listened to it. The squeeing continued for many more listens and I still find myself squeeing about how brilliant this album is.
Diablo Swing Orchestra impressed me when I first heard the Butcher's Ballroom sometime last year. They were one of the first avant garde metal bands I'd listened to and have been one of my favorites since. Sing Along Songs for the Damned and Delirious is everything I loved about the Butcher's Ballroom and then some. It's like expecting a delicious cupcake, but then when you taste this cupcake you discover instead of frosting it is ice cream and the center is filled with fudge. With that fattening yet delicious simile out of out of the way, we can get to some content.
Actually just skip to the download link. I am not even joking I do not want you to read this little review. You already know what it's going to say, this album is pure brilliance. A delicious mixture of great guitar riffs and horns with soaring female vocals and some pretty damned good male vocals now. That's one of the biggest differences between this album and The Butcher's Ballroom. The male vocals add a whole other level to this and overall make things considerably more interesting. Furthermore there seems to be a bit more frequent usage of a trumpet on many songs. Drumming is also quite awesome at times.
All in all it's just a brilliant album. You should download this immediately. When have I ever steered you wrong?

Ensiferum - From Afar
Some Guy is back with another review. "The Man" didn't like our last one and made Blogger take it down. Damn "The Man" always keeping us down. I am but a humble blogger trying to make myself less bored by writing mediocre reviews of things and posting them on the internet. Anyways today we've got the new Ensiferum album "From Afar". Kind of a lame title, but metal is all about being so lame it's not a big deal.
This album is the Ensiferum you know and love, or you hate, but probably love. The first thing you'll notice about this album is all the symphonic stuff going on. I think it fits in pretty nicely, although it does seem like a strange idea. This is folk metal here people, folk metal shouldn't be layered with keyboards and other silly things. It's about using weird folk instruments and being awesome. Lyrics continue to be about generic folk metal topics, but if you listen to metal for the lyrics you might have a serious problem (Not that some metal bands don't have brilliant lyrics, I mean.) .
A few tracks really stand out as being pretty sweet. Stone Cold Metal is probably my favorite with its badass banjo solo. Yes, a mothafucking banjo solo. Now that's something I'd like to hear more often. Numerous songs are as usual ridiculously catchy and make me want to sing along. The metal nerd within me can't help but enjoy this. I don't see it winning any awards any time soon but the fan will enjoy it. I wonder if they will keep the heavy symphonic elements on the future releases? We'll see, we'll see!

No password, I'd upload this to Mediafire but well I'm lazy.

Get Bent - Demo 2008
Hey, just here for another quick post for 5 songs really worth listening to!
Not going into full album critique mode, I'll keep it short and just say that Get Bent gets a lot of things right that other modern-era punk bands miss on occasion. The pace is just right, the shout-a-long lyrics are fun, and the passion is definitely present. The biggest tragedy here is that Get Bent are only planning to produce one more 7" EP, slated to come out some time in 2009. I, for one, will definitely be picking it up.
Sorry for not having time to stick this album on mediafire, but it's actually a blessing in disguise! The site I will be linking to, ifyoumakeit.com, is a GREAT resource for lesser-known punk bands looking for some fans!
Here is the link: http://www.ifyoumakeit.com/album/get-bent/demo/
To get your download, click above, and on the righthand side, there will be an orange "download" square. Clickity click.
Enjoy! And while you're on ifyoumakeit.com, my suggestions would be Iron Chic's demo, Thousandaire's self-titled EP, and "Fuck Your Emotional Bullshit", by Snowing. Enjoy!

Kixpo 2009
Hey internet,
Not really a review, and not really an article. Just sharing a link to a groovy mixtape from a thing called Kixpo. It happened in 2009. Alright, so useless information aside, here's the tape. You can play it right from the browser, or download the whole thing as mp3 files.
Link!

Notables: The group Maxx Moon is one half Astronautalis, the indie-rap fellow who's album The Mighty Ocean & Nine Dark Theaters we reviewed last month.
