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!

Between The Buried And Me is one of my top, most favourite bands ever... and The Silent Circus is one of my top albums. This is their second album, and boy is it fucking awesome. To those who call these guys Metalcore, you're musically ignorant... this is Progressive Metal, there's far too much skill and interchangeability for this to simply be called Metalcore. Anyway, this album was before they had their current solid line-up and features Mark Castillo (who now plays for Bury Your Dead) on drums. Every song is outstanding (especially Mordecai) the lyrics are brilliant, the drumming is intense, and the riffs and solos are technical and skillful. Highly recommended album.
