#caelestia

So I have decided to move back to this blog for my "me" stuff. I got bored having the second blog, so we're back to this one. BUT that other blog will stay up so you can continue viewing all the posts on there, and so that I can look back at previous CMO posts. Speaking of which, let's get into the month of June starting with the honorable mentions!

Eternus - Guilt Against Myself - Over the Clouds Visionatica - The Pharaoh Lena Katina - Стартрек Veridia - I Won't Stay Down Timo Tolkki's Avalon - Promises feat. Todd Michael Hall Marina - Emotional Machine Moran Magal - Black Swan Tokio Hotel - Love Who Loves You Back Lost in Grey - The Wasteland

Alexandra Martin - Fire and Light Ember & Dust - Not Insane Hollow Haze - Oblivion Moonlight Haze - The Butterfly Effect Maruv & Boosin - Drunk Groove Seven - Vision/Down Midnight Nightmare - Erotic Violence Port Noir - Flawless

Now for the real obsessions.

Stitched Up Heart - Lost feat. Sully Erna (Godsmack)

These guys have evolved and matured so much over the years. This compared to "Is This the Way You Get to Hell?" is significantly better. Production, writing, hell even Mixi's voice has improved so much. Also it's been forever since I last listened to Sully's voice (haven't listened to Godsmack in maybe 10 years). ANYWAYS, I really dig this track and just how powerful the riffs and Mixi's voice are.

Cellar Darling - Freeze

This sounds like something straight out of Mandylion-era The Gathering and I live for it. The atmosphere and the power remind me so much of that album. And the fact that Anna kinda sings like Anneke fuels that vibe even more. I really want to listen to their new album since it seems very atmospheric so far.

Caelestia - Angel on Fire

This is their newest single and it's a powerful one. It's both very aggressive and very beautiful. These guys really know how to change tone in their songs without it seeming out of place, which just shows you how talented they are at writing. And Dimitra's voice sounds so much stronger here than it was on Thanatopsis. Can't wait to hear what else they have cooking up.

SKYND - Jim Jones

Randomly came across this song one day and added it to my watch later, but thanks to work I never had a good time to listen to it. Then one day a friend of mine shared a snippet of it on his IG story and I found it super interesting and had to listen to it. Holy fucking shit is this song amazing. It's so cool and interesting, yet unnerving. I love it. I'm definitely gonna listen to more from them. And all their songs are based off of true crime/serial killers, which is super fun.

im tired of this grandpa ):
