What Are You Listening To Right Now [Christian]?

Katumus - At the Ruins of This World (Remastered)

This is one of the best albums I have heard in the style of raw, echoey, lo-fi black metal. It has a really bleak sound to it that I think is hard to achieve.

I better watch out--this guy might make me a fan of black / doom metal. Well done!

Love that album. It’s completely unique in all the right ways, never heard anything like it elsewhere. (The band name is Epta Astera btw)

I figured I’d try this …. Not my normal cup of tea. BUT, oddly enough I’m enjoying it. Like stated above, it’s unique in all the right ways. I don’t think I could listen all the time though…but it is quite relaxing and soothing to my fickled brain.

Nice!  Epta Astera is awesome.  You can get three of his albums on his Bandcamp page.  (Only Feste Burg has a physical release.)

The guy behind EA doesn't care much for the first album, Ero Cras, so unfortunately it's not available, but I think it's still pretty good.  It used to be on youtube but now I can only find one song:

AotDay: Teramaze - Tears to Dust

Cameron Harwick, the guy behind Epta Astera, actually gave me a free digital download of Ero Cras when I asked about it on his official website (cameronharwick .com). He offers all his other albums for free download as well, so I’m sure if you contacted him he’d be willing to let you get Ero Cras. It isn’t quite as good as his later albums, but does have some good songs on it

Thanks, but I actually did the same thing some years ago too!  He was very kind to share it with me.  I agree that his later stuff is better, but it's still a solid album - and has a few good Christmasy tracks I have on my Christmas metal playlist.  

Saint - Times End

The playlist with the setlist from Narnia/Rob Rock tour

Diamoth / Dying Blaze - Under the Wings of Grace

The two singles by Trebuchet SDG.  This is definitely one of the best projects to come into the scene in recent history.

Neal Morse - The Dreamer, Joseph:Part I

Interesting stuff even for black metal.

Those singles pique my interest.

NP:

Lordchain: Surviving the Wicked Storm

I had Nomad Son - The Darkening playing in the car this past weekend.  For some reason, I associate that album with autumn so it was necessary.    Such a great album.

Now playing: Nomad Son - The Eternal Return

Great albums, especially The Darkening.

How is it? Unique and inspired? Or mundane? My fabourites are Sola Scriptura, "?", while I didn't care for ones like The Grand Experiment or Sola Gratia. How does it compare?

Nania: Ghost Town; Enter the Gate; Long Live The King

The Darkening is by far my favorite of theirs, with First Light coming in second and The Eternal Return third.  All are very good though, for sure.

I believe they're working on a new album - and it's about dang time!  The Darkening is 10 years old already!

Agreed on all points.

^As you should, in all instances.

Haha!

I’ve listened to it 2 or 3 times but it doesn’t grab me like my favorite albums such as Similitude of a Dream, or Sola Scriptura. 

It’s a good album, it’s just not keeping my interest. I would put it on par with Sola Gratia(story of Saul/Paul) or Jesus Christ the Exorcist. Obviously this album is about Joseph.
While these albums were ok, they didn’t really do anything for me to keep me going back to them. This is just my opinion.
I will say there are a few really good songs(Like a Wall, Gold Dust City, Ultraviolet Dreams) on this album.
There’s a hymn sung by a choir called I Will Wait On The Lord which caught me by surprise and was a cool departure from the tone of the album. The Overture and Overture reprise instrumentals aren’t bad.

I would rate this a 7 out of 10. 

I’m curious to hear how the followup will be.

^ Thanks!
