Not that making a hybrid, with the styles that Caina chooses to employ, would be easy. Another metal act that did this (and more compellingly in my opinion) would be Somewhere Along the Highway from Cult of Luna. They put the genres side by side, for the most part, through the arrangements within the songs but didn't synthesize it into a "new sound". <BR/><BR/>Your take on Caina's album is interesting, to say the least! When I was listening to it, I was sitting there and thought that I liked it well enough--black metal here, shoegazer there, throw in a post-rock number for good measure--but then started to wonder about the ingredients in this soup and what it was exactly that I was supposed to be tasting. Usually when I start to understand the artist or band's intentions and what they are trying to communicate, then the different genres begin to make more sense in context of the entire album. I didn't have much luck with Temporary Antennae. <BR/><BR/>But if it's anything close to your review... hell! <BR/>Love the blog, btw.<BR/><BR/>--deathwithabeardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32723577.post-22424033435256188282009-01-16T18:48:00.000+01:002009-01-16T18:48:00.000+01:00Thanks Dave & Fishskull,Xela has been on my li...Thanks Dave & Fishskull,<BR/><BR/>Xela has been on my list of "need to investigate at close hand" for some time and I think your comments will prompt me to actually buy one of these cd's. <BR/><BR/>Menace Ruine looks intriguing too, but I haven't heard it yet (I try to download only OOP albums).valterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239129101855356246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32723577.post-33034079581704802642009-01-16T18:25:00.000+01:002009-01-16T18:25:00.000+01:00I second the Xela nomination.

The new album is awesome,and with a drummer on the last track, reaches near doom metal throb.<BR/> Valter, have you evaluated the new Menace Ruin album yet?

Their album The Dead Sea is about Zombies wandering around on the bottom of the sea and attacking a passenger liner. They also have a new one which is very dark and has some interesting themes that I have barely penetrated. As someone who has read your blog for long time it seems like the sort of thing you might find interesting if you haven't come across it already. The label they are on Type Records generally puts out interesting things.<BR/>-Dave<BR/><BR/>http://www.myspace.com/learnwithxelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
