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!

An epic end to an epic story, No World For Tomorrow is Coheed & Cambria's most recent, fourth album and the second part to the final chapter in The Amory Wars (Claudio Sanchez's comic book series from which all of the band's albums are based). This album is just as epic (if not more so) than From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness. Coheed & Cambria seems to be the kind of band that only gets better and better, and each album tends to be more Progressive than the last.

I'm going to start by saying that this album is fucking epic! From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness is Coheed & Cambria's third album and I love it. Although Claudio Sanchez did change his singing style a bit (he kind of reminded me of Tia Dalma from Pirates Of The Caribbean with his accent) it actually grows on you and you begin to like it for what it is. My favourite songs are Ten Speed (Of God's Blood And Burial) and The Suffering. I highly recommend this great album.

Well, here's a band that I've been meaning to post and review for a while now. When I first heard Coheed & Cambria (when I was younger) I actually didn't like them at all, but as I got older and my music taste began to expand (I find it expands everyday, actually) I listened to them again and now I love 'em. The Second Stage Turbine Blade is their first full-length release and is actually my least favourite of their four releases, but I still like it and think it's a good album. Coheed & Cambria definitely had more of a Post-Hardcore influenced sound on here, but they always had Progressive elements in their music from the very start. For those who don't already know, all of Coheed & Cambria's albums are concept albums and link together in chronological order to compose one large story (The Amory Wars, which is a comic book series written by frontman Claudio Sanchez). I know some things about this story, but I suggest those interested look it up and read about it.
