?Tomasz Pilasiewicz - Road’s End:Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors: Amazing album from start to the very end. Epic and unpredictable. Arcturus became one of my favorite bands after their La Masquerade Infernale, and Masters Of Disguise albums, but to me TSM is one of the best and most creative Metal releases out there.Ulver - Perdition City: Beautiful, dark, epic, smart and very imaginative album with one of a kind atmosphere.Fleshgod Apocalypse - King: Just heard the complete album the other day for the first time andI am blown away by the musicianship, songwriting and the production of it! I’ve been a fan of FA since their Mafia EP and love watching their musical progress and success.Alice In Chains - Focus: An album that opened my eyes to other genres of music and showed me that Metal and Jazz drumming blend together very well. Also that there is something that produces awesome sound and it’s called a Splash Cymbal!Andrew Baird - Fallujah:Carpenter Brut - Trilogy: Lately I have been on a pretty substantial “80s synth wave”. This partic-ular genre, more or less the artist mentioned, hits these leads and melodies that get stuck in your head for days. And it’s a refreshing form of intensity outside of metal.Mitch Murder - All Albums: Mitch also hits the 80s synth music quite nicely, adding his own modern flair to his production of the music he creates. Super catchy, partially corner, easy-to-get-into retro action tunes.Reso - Ricochet: Lately my attention has also been drawn towards drumstep and Drum and bass. I personally do a lot of driving during and outside of touring and Reso hits a sweet spot for myself. Atmopsheric, action movie style, high intensity electronic music. Perfect for freeway drives and rushing to work and when you are about to run late.Aegaeon - All Albums: Fallujah and I toured with them way back in winter of 2011. These are some of our best friends and we have always enjoyed the direction of music they pursue. Blending heavy downtempo with atmospheric elements that are sure to catch anyways attention. I especially like to listen to them on my squat or deadlift days!15
