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!

1. Curse You All Men!

6. Nonus Aequilibrium

This is my favourite Emperor album and one of my most favourite Black Metal albums of all time. IX Equilibrium, their third full-length album, is rebellious, evil, and fucking heavy. Right from the opening song (the infamous Curse You All Men!) when you hear that fucking sick, high-pitched, sinister scream, you know that these guys mean business. The symphonic keyboards and synthesizers on this album are so dark and epic and I never get tired of hearing it. Highly recommended.
