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!

The Black Dahlia Murder's most recent release, Nocturnal, is basically what a horror movie would sound like if it was a metal album. The lyrics are brutal, deliciously evil, and just fucking awesome. I have seen these guys live four times and they're simply awesome--so go see them if you get the chance. I hate when people call this metalcore, or deathcore... I've even heard them labeled as blackcore (seriously, people... blackcore!?). If you have any ears for music then you would know by listening to them that The Black Dahlia Murder is fucking Melodic Death Metal (there is no "core" in this band at all). Aside from genres and labels and what-not... Nocturnal is simply just a nice and heavy album with awesome riffs, awesome drumming, awesome guitar solos, awesome vocals, and awesome lyrics. This album is, of course... highly recommended.
