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!

I never get tired of Catch Without Arms, it's just such a beautiful and amazing album that it entertains me every time I hear it. The lyrics are brilliant, the melodies are creative, the drumming is dynamic, and Gavin Hayes singing is as good (if not better) than on El Cielo. Dredg certainly aren't just a band, they are a milestone in modern music and will surely be one of the bands that current fans will be listening to when we're older and younger people will get into and enjoy as well (sort of like Pink Floyd). This is one of my favourite albums, therefore it is, of course... highly recommended.

Here is a band that deserves a lot of praise for what they are doing. Dredg are expressive, real, emotional, and have a lot of potential. El Cielo is actually their second album (they sound a lot different on their first) and it is one hell of an album. These guys are very original in their style of music, which is why I've labeled them under Progressive, and Gavin Hayes has one of the best voices I've ever heard. They even have an original concept for this album, being this is the only album I've ever heard that was actually based on a painting (Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening by one of my favourite artists, Salvidor Dali) and revolves around the theme of sleep paralysis. It's a long album, but it is as much of a masterpiece musically as Dali's work is visually. A high recommendation.
