lol weird metal? You could always try Burzukh's new stuff, here [link] although I thought the first album was a bit better.

02:06 - Karlabos
I actually am more interested in stuff like that Burzukh you posted some days ago. Anything similar to that? And Lokaeda, that Korean band is huh.. weird.

02:01 - moonflash
Their new stuff is damn good too [link]

01:55 - moonflash
Was just listening to some doom/sludge, maybe you'll like it [link]

01:54 - Lokaeda
@Karlabos after a thorough browsing of your favourite bands, I have come to the conclusion that this [link] perfectly matches your tastes.

01:43 - Karlabos

Great Album, but more stuff to come, from this genious band.

Best of Rainbow, best what Blackmore ever wrote, best of Dio to ... simply a 70's masterpiece, harmony, magic, weird inspiration, weird lyrics, muisc and feeling

Solid hard rock album riddled with some inconsistencies. Some tracks sound ahead of it's time while others sound like the track was cut in '69, six years before the record was made. Still, there's some can't miss songs on this album. "Self Portrait', "Catch the Rainbow" and "Temple of the King" really shows what this band was capable of.
