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 love how much Thrice has progressed since their earlier releases. The entire Alchemy Index series of EP's is a must have. Each disk is individual and seems to portray the very elements they are named after. The Fire Album has a louder and more rebellious sound, and almost seems to burn like flames. This is the heaviest album in the Alchemy Index and Firebreather is one of the greatest introduction songs I've ever heard... it just screams "Open your eyes and stand up!" The Water Album is very uncanny and foreboding and as soothing as the ocean--at times the water is still and relaxing, and at others, you can feel the waves rising up and crashing on every shore. They incorporated a more industrial/electronic sound on this album, but it is excellent for portraying the element of water. If you want to kick back and relax, then put on Night Diving and close your eyes (smoke a J while your at it, too).
