This one has a laid back progressive feel, clean vox, sounds like a drum machine providing the beat… a bit ballad-y

TRIVIUM
“In The Court Of The Dragon”

Speaking of Shadows Fall.. after selling out this album on last year’s record store day and the reunion show coming up later this year… the stock is high. I don’t think this is remastered or anything… sounds good though!

Another reissue for M-Theory for an american new wave of metal type band… another good excuse to revisit… I thought they were “ok” back in the day, but looking back, they deserve another listen.

Good Trouble (single)
Moral Hygiene

A bit more laid back overall, but still a classic Ministry sound, with the megaphone voice guy over classic industrial sound.
