If you were in the mood for some new discoveries, today was your day.  Between an entire album streaming from (for me, the under-impressive) Barren Earth and a new music gem we are calling this week's Shiny Penny, you should have plenty to dote or hate on over the weekend.  If not though, take a look at this week's ‘Metal Can Look Good Too’ featuring art from King Diamond’s ‘Abigail’ or feast your eyes on some past ‘Metal Can Look Good Too’ here, here and here.  We will be back on Sunday with another Sunday Stream and (if you're lucky and I'm feeling generous enough), a little something on Saturday as well.
Click play above to hear ‘Unbroken Silence’ from Dark The Suns’ album ‘All Ends In Silence’-- yet another treat to end the week.

While I was out of town on my Texas adventure, Dark The Suns, a gothic-death band based in Finland released their very first video for the track 'Unbroken Silence'. The song is from the bands 2009 album 'All Ends In Silence' out now on Firebox Records.

Dark The Suns first hit the scene in 2007 with the release of their debut album 'In Darkness Comes Beauty', a melancholic and doomy work, light on production, in the vein of early Swallow The Sun.  Perhaps a bit heavy on commercialism, pop and formula, 2009's 'All Ends In Silence' is masterful nonetheless. Clocking in at just over 44 minuets, you shouldn't find yourself bored listening to this album.  However, if you're a Slumber fan as I am, you might find yourself bracing for the band to reach their excellence but falling just short. Low points aside, I highly recommend this band and even dub it- 'Deathscript tested, Deathscript approved'.  For fans of: Swallow The Sun and Slumber.
