Moonlyght

Any fans of this band? They're labeled as a folk metal band, but I don't know if that's entirely accurate. However, it's not completely off base, so we'll roll with it.

Anyway, I found their last album, Progressive Darkness, in the $2 bin at Nuggets in Boston and loved it. Very dynamic album, mixing death metal, power metal, black metal, folk metal. It's a great album, especially for those like me who can't really get into front-to-back black or death metal albums.

Their latest album was just released, limited to 1,000 copies, and will be the band's last album. The samples on MySpace sound awesome! I don't know how popular this band is, but 1,000 copies may sell out. I just ordered my copy tonight.

I like them quite a bit. I met the guys from TYR at a show in Iceland a few years back, and Terji Skibenaes (the guitarist/singer) knew the guys in the band - I got a burnt CDR copy of Progressive Darkness, and it was quite interesting - Can't say I am a sucker for any form of Black/Death metal, but these guys are more melodic, and shall I say..... "musical" than the hordes of Black Metal outfits out there - The vocals don't sound like a Demon posessed by a nine year-old girl, which is also a plus. Great Band with lots of potential.

True. They're definitely more musical, or dynamic, than the droves of boring black metal outfits out there. Lots of potential, indeed. Too bad they decided to break up.
