Picked up two albums by two artists I knew absolutely nothing about based solely on the strength of the artwork at the used book store yesterday. Here they is.
T
he Pax Cecilia Blessed are the Bonds (2007)
I'm a little more than halfway through this, and I'm fairly impressed. It's basically modern American metal, AKA the sing-scream-sing/blast beat/kinda off-kilter guitar riff formula, turned into post-metal, with strong classical influences and lots of creepy piano and strings. It's decent. Not perfect or anything, but decent.
Savath & Savalas Manana (2004)
I don't know anything about this album, or this artist, but according to the internet it's a quirky, quiet, subtle electronica album that is very calming. I think the album art is pretty, I look forward to listening.
