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!

There are really no words to describe my love for this damn album... that's how great it is. Between The Buried And Me's fourth studio release, Colors, is a fucking masterpiece of musicianship. I am beyond privileged to have seen these guys live three times... but no show could ever compare to their headlining tour in 2007, when I saw them in New York City, Blender Theater, on Halloween (with supporting acts Animosity and HORSE The Band). They played this entire album, straight through (and Selkies: The Endless Obsession as an encore) without missing a fucking note. Let's just say I was speechless when it was over (literally, I lost my voice from screaming every word) and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. These guys have taken so many different styles of music and masterfully fused them together, everything from metal and hardcore, to jazz, rock, and even a little country. This album is Between The Buried And Me at their best and the peak of their progressive development. I worship them and you should too.
