Novembers Doom formed in 1989 as the death/thrash metal band Laceration. Gradually the band began to change their sound towards a heavier, slower style, at which point the name Novembers Doom was adopted as the band members felt it more suited their style. In 2005, the band turned the corner from doom to death with ‘The Pale Haunt Departure’. Novembers Doom has since continued down this path with the release of ‘The Novella Reservoir’ in 2007 and ‘Into Night's Requiem Infernal’ 2009. This Barking Chicken Production focuses on these three albums which were all mixed by Dan Swanö and characterized by epic, dynamic death metal anthems. Alone, each of these albums shows promise, but broken down and resurrected as ‘The Pale Reservoir Infernal’, this material is comparable to melodic, progressive death classics released by Edge Of Sanity and Opeth. This one is for Fitzy.
Bathory was formed by Quorthon in Stockholm, Sweden in 1983. They are regarded as pioneers of both black metal and Viking metal. In 1988 Bathory released their fourth album ‘Blood Fire Death’ which began the transition from black metal to Viking metal. With the release of ‘Hammerheart’ in 1990, Bathory formally introduced the metal world to the archetypal Viking metal album. The epic style of ‘Hammerheart’ was further demonstrated on the subsequent ‘Twilight Of The Gods.’ This Barking Chicken Production focuses exclusively on material from these three albums. It is impossible to deny the influence this Viking-obsessed period of Bathory's history had on metal. These albums were the blueprint followed by Enslaved, Amon Amarth and many others that followed in Bathory’s footsteps. 
Anacrusis was a progressive / thrash metal band from St. Louis, MO. Active from 1986 to 1993, they were so far ahead of their time that we still haven’t caught up with them. All of the studio albums plus remixes, demos and other outtakes are available for free download from the band’s website, anacrusis.us.
Call them a jam band if you must, but improvisational progressive rock would be a more accurate description. During an interview, guitarist Al Schnier was asked to describe moe. for those who have never heard their music: "It's an amalgamation of a wide variety of the history of rock, all regurgitated and recycled through the eyes, ears, hands, whatever of the guys in our band and all of that with a sense of adventure, a sense of humor, also a constant desire to push the envelope. All in this arena of taking chances, improvising live, and making things up on the spot." In a remarkable career that's touched upon three decades and produced 17 albums, the quintet continues to push the standard for performance art. This Barking Chicken Production includes a few highlights from moe.’s recent two night stand at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom on July 25 and July 26, 2009. 
This Barking Chicken Production is a compilation of new Phish tracks recorded live at recent shows, many of which are expected to appear on the upcoming studio album, 'Joy'.
