Madrugada - Discography

Despite of my somewhat blackened metal charts, my 2nd most listened band are Madrugada (spanish or portuguese for "dawn"), fronting Sivert Hoyem, which, since Madrugada has come to an end, tours solely.

Their music is almost completely melancholic, lyrically as well as musically. Of course they do have some faster songs like Running Out of Time (album The Deep End), but mainly they are low- to mid-paced with impressive riffs and structures.

Cathedral - The Guessing Game

Cathedral - The Guessing Game - two words: party music. I can't say it's bad, actually it's really good, but it's music you can play at a party (in contrast to bm) even with having people there that aren't familiar with metal in any way. At least I have the problem at some locations, if there's a song I know playing, I need to pay attention to it, whatever happens. But in this case, it simply rocks, literally, and you can play it without having the need to listen to it whilst being somewhere.

Facts:
• released 2010
• 1:24:50, 13 tracks (2 CD release)
• fixed bitrate of 320 kBit/s

Nargaroth - Semper Fidelis

Actually I have no clue what I should write about this album. Lyrics are great, as expected from Nargaroth. Next to Jahreszeiten and Black Metal ist Krieg it's the only album I can actually listen to; I don't get familiar with the vocals, normally I need to be able to understand the lyrics without reading them simultaneously, which isn't the case here.
But once familiar with song structures, lyrics and background informations I can enjoy it somewhat, else I wouldn't post it.

Facts:
• released 2007
• 1:19:52, 12 tracks
• fixed bitrate of 320 kBit/s

Highlights: Artefucked, Vereinsamt, Hate Song
