Where Blood And Fire Bring Rest-The pinnacle of Zao. This album is considered by magazines as the most influential album of 1995. It is blasting melodic hardcore mixed with dark metal/metalcore. This album is before Self-Titled where they actually added a drum machine and industrial (so it was their pre-industrial era), but you see how some of their material on the album have some industrial tendencies. One of my 3 favorite Zao albums. I love how some of the songs have whispering and just blast in. This album is so brutal. If i was to make a cover album, i would defenitely cover a song off this CD. Recommended to fans of: Training For Utopia, (early) Demon Hunter. Overall Rating: 11/10
Great White Whale-Very reminescent of Stutterfly, but totally different at the same time. This is the follow-up to the band's old project Stutterfly. Their singer had decided to leave and they got a new singer and their style totally change, but stayed the same somehow. They dropped all the scream vocals, but their vocals have a higher range that doesn't go low like the Stutterfly material; which has alot more of a really "full" range on vocals. The album is really catchy and beautiful. One of my favorites for 2008. Recommended to fans of: Stutterfly. Overall Rating: 300000/10
This is not an actual Bubblegum Octopus release, but it is a mix disc of close to all of his recorded songs. I keep this so i can hear all the material that he won't end up including on the project's first release. I really hate the genre "computergrind" aka "Compucore" (etc.); But M@ the C@ has alot of my respect. He was one of the main influences on present day Compucore, with bands that play video-game/bubblegum poppy based material. He has also been in plenty of bands, atleast 15-20 by what i know. I'm really excited to hear this local musician's CD. It will hopefully come out by next month (December 08). Recommended to fans of: One Oreo Killed My Reeses, Shove Your Dick In A Meat Grinder, That Ain't Your Grandpa's Rifle, 1000 Dead Rabbits, all computercore/bubblegum pop/8-bit. Overall Rating: 9.8/10
Sunrise Over A Sea Of Blood-Good melo-death/black metal. Not as good as the original album, but has a totally different luster to the release compared to the first. It has a more epic feel, but i just wasn't really into the album. Recommended to fans of: Soul Embraced, Abigail Williams, The Black Dahlia Murder. Overall Rating: 6/10
