Seriously, with the amount of talk over thread etiquette in the last two pages, you're virtually trolling.

I present to you lovely people something a bit different.
The Alan Lomax Collection: Southern Journey, Vol. 8 - Velvet Voices
Review from amazon:
--- Quote ---This CD is part of an ambitious reissue program of folklorist (did someone say saint?) Alan Lomax's library of recordings. Recorded during a 1960 trip by Lomax to the Eastern Shores of Virginia, these are not the velvet voices of today's high-gloss studio productions. These are the actual voices of the gospel choirs, jubilee singers, and fisherman who continued to honor their African American musical traditions long after the rest of the world had plunged into the modern age. Colonial fife-and-banjo music is represented by the fascinating song "Joe Turner." The sparkling call-and-response of the "Menhaden Chanties" shows how fishermen once used song to lighten their load when pulling in their nets. But most impressive are the gospel groups the Silver Leaf Quartet and the Bright Light Quartet. Contrary to its title, "So Tired" by the Bright Light Quartet will have you doing cartwheels in the aisles and working happily all through the day

The review does quite a good job; basically it's a collection of recordings by Alan Lomax featuring a bunch of different southern musicians. Most of its' bluesy-ish songs with simply amazing, baritone harmonies that I can only describe as swirling. If you've seen O Brother Where Art Though, you know what roughly to expect. Plus, most of the songs are either about dirty dirty sex or religion, and how can you resist that?

Look at the cover. Metal. Very cheesy metal. But also quite original. (Black symphonic)

Ok this one I just recently bought, and I haven't taken it out of my stereo since. Black metal again, but it has a real almost crust punk (i guess they call it grindcore here) edge to it, no guitar solos, no fucking around. (they really remind me of Tragedy/His Hero is Gone only with metal, im not sure people would agree with me on that). Highly recommended though for the badass in us all. Reveal the Essence of Suffering is my favorite song
