Album of the Month – Deafheaven “Sunbather”
Posted by IPreferTheirOldStuff in Music Reviews on June 21, 2013
Deafheaven – Sunbather (Deathwish Records) “Check out the Deafheaven album. If you can deal with screaming, it’s a brilliant post rock album.” So went a comment on a review of Sigur Ros’s new album on Drowned In Sound that first made me go and have a listen to Sunbather, the second album from San Francisco’s […]

The Advent Calendar of Tunes – Door No. 7
Posted by IPreferTheirOldStuff in Features on December 7, 2012
Up until now the tunes hidden inside the Advent Calendar have been quite gentle, so today’s door contains a tune with a few more cajones! It’s the epic “Falling Snow” by Agalloch from their third album Ashes Against The Grain; [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JRVOL9jXUI]

Heavier Highlights & Discoveries
Posted by IPreferTheirOldStuff in Music Reviews, News on September 30, 2012
As you may know, my tastes sometimes stray from the more gentle indie or electronic fare into the darker, bleaker environs of metal and its associated heaviness. Last year’s favourite album on this site was by black metal behemoths Wolves in the Throne Room don’t forget. As summer is now officially over and autumn is […]

Alcest – Les Voyages De L’Âme
Posted by IPreferTheirOldStuff in Music Reviews on January 14, 2012
2010’s Écailles de Lune was my first exposure to French band Alcest, the project of multi-instrumentalist Neige, its mixture of post-rock/metal, shoegaze and elements of black metal really hit all the right notes and I became addicted for a few weeks playing it constantly. January 6th brought their new album Les Voyages De L’Âme (Journeys of […]

Wolves in the Throne Room – Celestial Lineage
Posted by IPreferTheirOldStuff in Music Reviews on October 30, 2011
In the first half of this year I thought my very choosy taste in the heavier genres of music was to be left unrequited, but then the good stuff started to appear, the first to really perk me up was the amazing assault of Ireland’s Altar of Plagues’ second album “Mammal”. Then “Epoch” the second album […]
