###Recommendations of the Week ##/u/Fazermint

The most enjoyable song on the list for me was Mob Rules. Solid EUPM track, a little flowery even but I ain't no hater. Granted, it's only a single and nobody gives a big whoop about those.

I'm not into gothic music, but I gotta admit that the Neverlight preview had me interested. There were some hefty segments there, so I hope the album is full of those and that the stereotypical goth vocals aren't too overbearing.

Garbage week, the only reason I'm sharing Hedge Wizard is because his new demo is pretty different from what we usually get in dungeon synth, this is a mix of berlin school with dungeon synth with a fantasy sound with spoken word, and it fucking rules! Maybe you guys will like it too.

##/u/Omegakingauldron

I liked Insatia this week, although I liked it because it sounds like what a good Symphonic Metal song should sound like, save for the drumming (which I felt was a bit off at points, but its minor). Everything else sounds good in it, as the synths are there to flesh out the sound, not overtake it like most Symphonic Metal songs.

I also found Black Sun to be interesting, because I got a bit of a King Diamond vibe from it. Not for his high falsettos, but the way the song tells a story like his music does. It would be nice if the rest of the album carries the concept of the first song throughout, but if not, it’s still worthwhile to go give it a listen.
