Kind of a progressive metal supergroup in a sense whose members include Lars Nedland aka Lazare from Solefald, Andreas Hedlund aka Mr. V from Vintersorg, and ICS Vortex from Dimmu Borgir and Arcturus. This group can generally be relied upon to release a good album, although like with 2010's Universal, they tend to release their albums too early in the year and they get lost in the shuffle.
Gift of Gab - The Next Logical Progression (2012)
Gab has a very special place in my heart as he was one of the first emcees that really got me interested in alternative hip hop. His 2009 album Escape 2 Mars was one of my favourite hip hop albums of the year so I have high hopes for this. Now... when's that new Blackalicious album gonna drop? |
The first one was pretty good. Only listened to it once though.
I am currently downloading the
Gift of Gab release, and I will probably also download
Escape 2 Mars, as I have not heard anything by him.

Usually this is the time of year I start checking out the high rated metal albums of RYM I don't know. Never heard of Lunar Aurora but I may need to go back and listen to other albums in their discography as this is pretty good riffy atmospheric metal. |
Listening to this later today.
