Hello music 馃幎 enthusiasts. I'm a music enthusiast as well and even though I don't play music, I love listening and receiving the fulfilling sensation when I listen to my favourite genres and bands. This is the reason I'm collecting music as much as I can afford and present all new I'm getting and adding to my collection. I can't compete other much larger music collectors, however it's not a competition and at the end what really matters is to be happy with everything we have.
I'm going to start presenting a few new things I've received, wish I could present additional ones I've ordered but haven't received yet due to the pandemic. I'll start by chronological order of receiving each, starting with Shattered Hope and their latest album Vespers
I got in touch with this band from their previous album and in October 2019 they were scheduled to appear in a festival over here so I happily attended that festival to catch them live as well as the headlining band that night and also recorded a song which belongs to the presented album above
The musical style is doom metal, the band hails from my home city Athens in Greece. The album was released last year (2020) and I'm happy to have it and listen to their physical release.
Moving on, the next two albums were ordered together and both are very good, but especially one of them is exceptional. That album is from Draconian and their latest release Under A Godless Veil
Draconian are truly a top band, I don't know them very well, however their music captivates me and also it has happened that I've seen them live as well a few years back when my girlfriend at that time asked me to book tickets for their at the time appearance here and we went and they're great. This album is a heavy atmospheric gothic release.
Next album is from Wolfheart with their latest release Wolves Of Karelia
Another favourite band of mine. Never seen them live though. The album revolves around a historic war between Wolfheart's home land Finland with Russia, the Finns really being farmers and having to face the strong and heavy russian military machine in the Karelia region, where the band's mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen has lived.
All the above albums are 2020 releases. The last two ones are older albums which have been reissued lately. Both of them are hailing from Finland, starting with Sentenced and the album Down
This era of the band, now disbanded, with the above album and new vocalist is more melodic and lyrically focused on the subjects of agony, misery, death, love, suicide.

Last album to present is from Swallow The Sun and their album Ghosts Of Loss
I got in touch with this band through a friend of mine some years back and their earlier material is really what keeps me keeping an eye for their releases. Their musical death doom style is being performed excellently.

All of the above music albums are great for this winter season we're in in this part of the world and I keep them on rotation along with others these days. Thank you for reading my post and I hope you enjoy the music as well.
