Products similar to The Opposite Of December - Poi...
Pagan - Cruachan
Combines folk and metal in a satisfying fusion.
Evidently searching for a more mainstream style, and failing as a result.
Parallel Minds - Conception
Powerful and creative prog-power metal.
Still predictable to an extent.
Paris - The Cure
New Wave & Post-punk - 2000
Phi - Truckfighters
Excellent guitar work, instrumentally the album is brilliant.
Not the most original album you'll ever hear, a fair few vocal weaknesses.
Postcards From Hell - Get Amped
An excellent display of melodic pop punk.
Those that don't like pop punk will probably absolutely hate this.
Prepare To Be Let Down - Ruiner
A decent album of hardcore punk, incredibly fast and fun.
Not the best album of this sort you will ever hear, no real depth of intelligence.
Procession To The Infraworld - Chasm
Solid death metal performance.
Less creative and thrilling than the last album.
Punishment For Decadence - Coroner
Great guitar performance from Tommy Vetterli.
Still fairly standard thrash.
Pure Rock Fury - Clutch
Grunge - 2001
Onwards To The Spectral Defile - Cirith Gorgor
Melodic black metal without being cheesy.
Over-reliance on traditional forms.
