THIS JUST IN:
MAMMOTH VOLUME:
A new Mammoth Volume album is an automatic purchase for me, but I am confident it will take me weeks to get my head around this one. This is definitely their most ambitious album, as they enter lots of new territory. No single track could hint at the variety of songwriting ideas on this album, but this song is an early favorite:
Mammoth Volume are Swedish.
Thay are:
Jörgen “Aston” Andersson: vocals
Daniel Gustafsson: guitars and keys
Kalle Berlin: bass
Nicklas Andersson: drums, percussion, vocals
Also released today.......
DELVING: ALL PATHS DIVERGE
Delving is a solo project by Nick from Elder. Another album with a multitude of musical ideas that will take lots of time to fully comprehend. I will also say that I purchased this album by the end of the first song I heard, which was Sentinel:
When you were younger, weren't there albums for which you'd plant yourself perfectly between the speakers, stare at the album cover and listen to the entire thing in one sitting? This is one of those albums for me.
All Paths Diverge was written entirely by Nick DiSalvo, originally from Massachusetts
Nick also performed the entire album, with help from
Fabian de Menou on the Rhodes and upright pianos, and
Michael Risberg adding guitar ambiance on "Zodiac"
