CULT OF LUNA Salvation

Album · 2004 · Atmospheric Sludge Metal

I haven't listened to previous albums by Cult of Luna, but I am really impressed with this release, specially taking in count that “Panopticon” debuted the very same year as this one. At first listen it may seem as this band uses the classic build up formula mastered by post-rock titans like Mogwai or Godspeed, but as we listen further into the album we can sense a real desire of exploration, and it shows the potential of the genre. Yes, maybe this album is not as good as “Somewhere Along the Highway” but it’s a clear example of what many bands of post-metal really want to accomplish but can't because they stick to the formula.

DREAM THEATER Images and Words

Album · 1992 · Progressive Metal
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
I am a huge Dream Theater fan, but I must admit they don´t get better than this. When I started listening metal my favorite genre was power metal, but discovering music like the one Petrucci, Portnoy and Myung create was a revelation. Taking the leadership in a movement that Fates Warning and Queensryche started before, this album expands the boundaries of metal and show that progressive music is still alive. The best songs are the longer ones especially “Learning to Live”, “Pull Me Under”, “Under a Glass Moon” and of course “Metropolis Pt.1” which will continue in the future with a whole album. This record is also perfect for people getting into the prog metal world as it is a sort of definition of the genre.
