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!

Quantum is Planet X's third and most recent studio release and it is one of the most Progressive and interesting albums ever. Virgil Donati and Derek Sherinian, at the level that they are at in musicial skill, can only get better and better. All I can say about this album is that it is just fucking outstanding (as are all of their other releases) and that these guys are truly masters of their craft. Bravo, Planet X!

MoonBabies is Planet X's second studio album and probably my favourite one of all. Virgil Donati is truly a master drummer and the material he's written for this album is beyond impressive. I, of course, have to give credit to Derek Sherinian's amazing keyboard skills and musical composition, as well as to the many guest musicians featured on this album. My favourite song has to be Interlude In Milan... I can't even describe why, but there is just something about that song that is so... well, I guess I'll say it for the hundredth fucking time on this blog--awesome! As is this entire album in general, so I highly recommend it.

Planet X is an amazing instrumental band formed by Derek Sherinian (former Dream Theater keyboardist) and one of my top favourite drummers, Virgil Donati. These guys sort of broke off and formed from Sherinian's first solo album in 1999, which was also titled Planet X and featured Donati on drums. I'd have to say that these guys (and all the special guest musicians involved in Planet X) are musical geniuses. Universe is their first album and it is simply fucking great.
