About Rising Phoenix Music

Welcome to Rising Phoenix Music, a blog that's not so one-sided and biased, but has a variety of music that could suit the different tastes of others. I post and review heavy, brutal, loud, soft, relaxing, chill, and experimental music, so look through my archives, we might just have what you're looking for. I made this blog for the sake of these artists--new and old--to share my opinion on their music, and to tell you why I like it and why you might like it too! The artists and albums I post here all deserve to be known, praised, and remembered. I simply want to promote a vast variety of good music and to help out the bands and artists that deserve your attention, not piracy and stealing to deprive these bands of their income. I also believe that you cannot fully judge a band or musician until you have heard most of their material completely, which is why the albums are up for download. I urge you to buy the albums, buy their merchandise, go see them live (if they're still together) and support them!

I was actually pretty excited about this album, and when I heard it... I wasn't letdown. This album kicks ass, plain and simple. Compared to their earlier material, this is a big step in the right direction for After The Burial. The guitar riffs are insane, the vocals are awesome, and the breakdowns are out of this world (being they actually use original, odd-timed patterns that will make you question whether you should fight invisible ninjas or simply listen to see if you can even memorize the pattern). This album surely stands out amongst all of the other generic releases in metalcore/deathcore and it most definitely deserves that Progressive tag you see there. Highly recommended!
