5 Great New Albums – Winter 2008 Edition
Tiger Army – Music from Regions Beyond
Tiger Army is a Rockabilly group, and they exemplify a great entry into said genre. The album itself is very well put together, and even has a few songs sung in (what I assume is) Spanish. If you have a chance, read their Wikipedia entry – it’s very interesting (and kind of sad).
The Living End – Modern Artillery
This is a bit of an older album – it came out in 2004. Regardless, it’s a great punk album, and I like to showcase material that may have gotten looked over a bit when it was initially released.
Blaqk Audio is made up of two of the members of AFI, but that’s about where the similarities between the two bands ends. This album is very techno influenced and catchy, definitely worth a listen.
Another stellar album by His Infernal Majesty, who never seems to disappoint. I saw H.I.M. in concert last year as a part of Projekt Revolution, and I must say I was unimpressed live. However, the studio stuff is still of high quality – some acts just are unable to recreate their sound live.
Avenged Sevenfold – Avenged Sevenfold
The latest Avenged Sevenfold rocks like all of them, with still enough mainstream appeal that I’m sure the band will make a boatload of money (good for them!). Still very dark and creepy – if you’re not too squeamish, read the story behind one of the songs on this album, A Little Piece of Heaven.
