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!

Alaska is one of the greatest metal albums I've ever heard (although some might beg to differ, but this blog is for my opinions, not yours). Between The Buried And Me continues to develop their sound on this, their third studio album. This is the first album that their solid line-up was established, entering in three new members since The Silent Circus (Dustie Waring on guitar and Blake Richardson on drums (both of Glass Casket) as well as amazing bassist, Dan Briggs). From the opening track, All Bodies, you already know that this album is going to knock you on your ass. And who could forget their infamous song Selkies: The Endless Obsession (which they're actually tired of playing all the time). Alaska is full of beautiful melodies, skillful drumming, poetic lyrics, and deranged harsh vocals as well as beautiful clean singing buy the amazing Tommy Rogers.
