It is on some forums, although the lousy excuse they gave me was "taking up too much space". Seriously, what a "WTF" reason!To keep on topic, I am listening to "Rhinestone" by Xero. Xero is really Linkin Park in the '90s without lead singer Chester Bennington, and if you ask me, they made a good choice in choosing him!

...I think their songs are way too long for powerful speed metal. Four minutes, please! D:<
And now, before I finally log out for the night, I'm comparing the two versions of Megadeth's "? Tout Le Monde." I've been obsessed with Megadeth lately (bought two albums? Rust In Peace and The System Has Failed? in a month, got a band T-shirt today and started making plenty of references to them in RP boards lately).

Andrea's near-death growl actually was pulled off nicely; my only issue is the song gets repetitive at the end.
Otherwise, the video for "I Like It" is something I can't take my eyes off of. XD

It's all about a boy trying to get a beached whale back into the sea. Yes, it's in German, but the music video matches the lyrics throughout, so it's not too hard to understand if you watch the vid. (You should also check out the video because it's trippy and awesome. XD)

Double posting isn't exactly an explicit rule here, I think it only applies for posting like 50 times in a row, unlike the Main Spam Topic where there's usually at least some form of discussion.
Anyway, I'm listening to "From the Inside" by Linkin Park. Good screaming during the bridge.

Same, but with "Ten Thousand Fists." Minus the occasional "AGH AGH" growls and with the line "Will make you shiver tonight" becoming "Sh-sh-sh-shiver tonight."

Slash > 100 Axls
Glad we're on the same page. I mean, both are awesome in their own fields, but Slash is down n' dirty traditional and really laid-back and rational, but Axl's a fuckin' tool who has no concept of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Not that introducing piano and power ballads for Use Your Illusions was bad... The industrial direction they're going in, on the other hand, isn't too promising.
Metallica - "Battery"
Duff is cool too, though~

I think I can really give the song a new edge with my deep voice. It's like a cross between Sully Erna and Serj Tankian, with elements such as James Hetfield's snarl and Dave Mustaine's nasal sound. XD

Now, the perfect balance of finding the tone and pleasure in the beats and patterns of a song, like one of those...now would you stand there and dance? Do it risque? I have to say, it's one of my favorite songs...what are you doing standing, come lie down on my bed and undress...

Another thing is I have a lot of foreign-language music, too. I have a lot of German punk rock or heavy metal, a few songs in Italian and a few in Hungarian. I've also been getting interested in Greek music as of late.
It's no secret my fave genres are hard rock and heavy metal, though.

First-ever GnR track. Why do I say this? Well, while I got the song from their second album, the first half of GnR Lies was originally its own EP released a year BEFORE Appetite for Destruction, and that was the first track off it. I don't know if it was the first song they ever wrote though.

What is with you and Sesame Street?
It's such a cool show, with funny-looking furry puppets and anamorphic animals. Big Bird is such a hoot! I've noticed in the early days, there was a significant thing about Big Bird; he represents a mentally retarded(in medical term) child.
Anyway, I'm listening to ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNO-PQR-STU-VWX-YZ sung by Big Bird. Just go to Youtube and watch the video. You'll understand what I mean.

The only four lines of lyrics in the song were EXACTLY where I imagined they'd be, but I figured the spoken verse would be a bit easier to hear. *Was imagining the instruments to fall silent for the lines to be spoken*

I have like the funniest ever high school story with this. I was just listening to the song with my friend and singing along, when suddenly a fire drill happened and we got lost still singing along. And guess what the lyrics were?

Alright, anyway...
"21 Guns" - Green Day
Back to some new stuff. To be honest, I never thought that Billy Joe Armstrong's vocals could be softened and at a high pitch that he sings in on this song. But, IMO, he pulled it off pretty well.

Linkin Park - "Breaking The Habit"
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 13, 2009, 01:09:05 AM
Beautiful, beautiful song. A very nice break from the majority of their stuff being on the heavy side (though they DO have a rather big chunk of acoustic/light rock material), and featuring their friend Lisa Guyer as guest vocals did wonders for the song. She and Sully both have this... "full" quality to their voices that really made the song powerful for me. Best song off IV (my favorite Godsmack album overall) is either this or "Shine Down."
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 13, 2009, 01:34:31 AM
On second thought, this is a third contender for best song off IV. It's grown on me and now I actually prefer it to the original "Voodoo."
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 13, 2009, 10:40:21 AM
Well, I finally got the full 5:54 to upload so it won't cut off at 3:12 and skip to the next song... and the solos that I never got to hear until now are very nice.

Not exactly my favorite off The System Has Failed, but the album has no real duds.

The last track on The System Has Failed. Just noticed something in the lyrics:
Quote
When he lies he murders some part of the world, we must find what was lost
Very similar line appeared in Metallica's "To Live Is To Die" (though I heard nobody on either band penned the line, but I feel the need to make sure).
EDIT: Yup, it was a quarter of the poet Paul Gerhardt and appeared in the movie Excalibur. I know Cliff Burton liked that poem, but I guess Dave Mustaine liked the movie.

Acoustic guitars throughout and a second verse that's much more similar to the first make this version different from the one that appeared on Unleashed Memories a year later. Still, it features an explanation behind the title in the second verse? "agonia senza fine" ("pain without end").

The guy who gave me everything by the Doors and M?tley Cr?e (along with British Steel and Blizzard Of Ozz) was a big Marilyn Manson fan, so he gave me his first album and his most recent. Here's me trying to give the albums a close listen, and songs like this sound great, honestly. Great, infectious beats and everything. Don't let the title deter you.

A metal song with some hip-hop influences rhythmically and a Middle Eastern-style wail during the breakdown. Awesome. One of the four new ones I got by Disturbed the other day, and this might be my fave so far out of all the songs I have by them.
...It's spelled "stupefy," though.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on November 07, 2009, 11:03:42 AM
My collection of Disturbed songs so far (bold indicates a new one I just bought):
The Sickness
Voices
Stupify
Down With The Sickness
Believe
Prayer
Believe
Intoxication
Ten Thousand Fists
Ten Thousand Fists
Deify
Stricken
Overburdened
Land Of Confusion
Indestructible
Indestructible
Inside The Fire
The Night
Perfect Insanity
Yeah, I tend to like the non-singles more, but sometimes when I search random songs I pick ones where the title catches my eye.

Metallica - "Dirty Window"
St. Anger definitely ain't the best album Metallica put out, but it's not QUITE as bad as most people think. Lars just needed to lay off the cymbals a tad. :roll: I don't mind that there weren't any real solos that much, honestly; compared to the drum overdose, it was a minor issue.

I'm not big on black metal, but the symphonic elements in a the few songs I've listened to by this all-female band mix things up quite nicely. Tristessa's one of the only women in metal that can growl (or at least it's close... hard to tell, since the mixing made her voice hard to hear over the instruments). Either way, this is a great instrumental.

Nuclear Assault - "New Song"
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on November 26, 2009, 09:29:54 PM
Fave song by my #3 fave band. Deep lyrics and a pretty moving solo... and it's one of the few songs I've come close to mastering on bass (mainly because it's just the same six notes repeated
)

You know, a lot of people don't like this one simply because of Axl saying "niggers" in one line and "faggots" in another. I don't have any prejudice against blacks or gays, but I don't mind this song because the way I see it, Axl's just getting into character rather than speaking his mind. That happens a lot of the time in music, you know?
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on December 01, 2009, 03:15:33 PM
Yup, I skipped Use Your Illusion I (but TBK would be proud of me for it if I'm right).
This was also the earliest Illusion recording, seeing as it's the only song on either album with Steven Adler (performed on Appetite and Lies) rather than Matt Sorum on drums.

My least fave from Use Your Illusion II. It's not BAD, though, just not as memorable as the other songs.

Well, it's this, the title track, "Dialectic Chaos" or "44 Minutes" (a GREAT choice for the second single? hopefully that'll get the album a lot more attention; I mean, it's definitely album of '09).

Sounds a TINY bit like it's still metal, not that that matters. It's a good intro to Load, but the only real problem I have with it is the overuse of the "Hetfield snarl," if anybody knows what I'm talking about.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on December 11, 2009, 06:02:42 PM
One of the five or six tracks off St. Anger that isn't actually that bad. I don't get why everybody and their grandma hates the snare drum sound, though... the real problem is Lars doesn't properly keep time on a bunch of the songs. :|

Upon closer inspection of the lyrics, I think this song is about Slash. O_o;;;; Sounds like it based on the interviews and how he says Slash is just painting him the bad guy and has everyone his side. (I'm still on Slash's side though; I think it's way easier to believe? besides, I met a guy who was a roadie for GnR for a short time and he said Slash was great to talk to but Axl's a dick.

I like how Andrea's voice is a lot easier to hear on Karmacode. That and the prominent bass and Middle-Eastern influences on the album made it one of my faves by LC really fast (the only one that might beat it out is Unleashed Memories).

A friend told me he didn't like this album because it "didn't sound like Metallica," but last time I checked, Metallica didn't lock themselves into one sound.
This song could've been a lot better if they had a solo in there rather than that bridge during the "back to the start" breakdown.

I think I figured out a meaning to this one (the band's been very secretive about it, only giving away that the number in the title is the distance between two places). I think it's about a murderer who liked the thrill of the kill, but feels guilty and fears getting caught and so is traveling a 1.19 kilometers away from the scene of the crime.
...Yes, I have a feeling that sounds far-fetched. Well, if that's not right, it's probably something personal since they won't tell (or at least that's what they WANT us to think).

Load is probably the most exhaustive Metallica album I've ever heard, but even so, it's seriously underrated. I think too many people are hung up on the fact that it's not the type of music they started out making to care that none of the stuff technically sounds all that bad.

For the record, I know Courtney Love's not exactly a saint, but I'm still on her side as far as Kurt Cobain should've just quit the music biz the way he was feeling, rather than splatter his brains all over the walls. :| This is just me, but suicide = stupidest mistake EVER because life = the most precious thing anyone can have = something that can't be returned once taken away. (Not to mention, it sounds like Kurt constantly REFUSED the popularity his band ended up getting? again, should've quit rather than basically playing to lose. :?)

Post by: The Ancient Warrior on January 07, 2010, 09:19:08 PM
This was censored on the rerelease of Slave To The Grind and replaced by "Beggar's Day," so I went ahead and got this from iTunes, put it in as track 6 and made "Beggar's Day" a bonus track. Too bad it had to be censored, because this is the best track on the album.

Megadeth playing rock? It actually took a little while for me to decide that a band not sticking to their roots isn't a bad thing unless what they make doesn't sound good any more, but I managed to go from not caring for this song to loving it.

Better than the standard version, but I have to wonder why Sonja Kraushofer didn't take over singing the third verse rather than having it (performed by Thomas Rainer in the original version) omitted like it was. :?

I LOVE this song. Best one off "The Spaghetti Incident?" by a long shot, and I can't get over the fact that it's all Duff. He recorded all the instruments and all the vocals, and that in itself just blows my mind, because not a lot of people do that any more.

Fun fact: This song was originally called "Megadeth" before the band made that their name instead.
Fun fact: One of the band's recent compliations was called Anthology: Set The World Afire, and a video anthology called Arsenal of Megadeth took its name from the lyrics.
Fun fact: I just discovered this song and it absolutely rocks. >:3

One of the best songs on the Heuchler album (I'd say only "Fauler Zauber" and probably "L'Aventure" are better). I gotta wonder why there aren't more bands that record instrumentals... This is pretty good; it's just a shame it goes by a little too fast.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on January 26, 2010, 05:47:41 PM
Given the title stands for "Fight For Freedom," pretty appropriate BGM while I'm reading an assignment on social uprisings. (Sounds a little like Metallica's "Motorbreath," but I'd have to say they're about even in terms of quality.

One of the closest-to-their-roots songs on all of Risk, and one of my faves from the album along with the first part, "Time: The Beginning" (I tend to look at those as one song, though).
It's just too bad Dave's snarling "beat the clock" sounds a little too close to "beat the cock."
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on February 01, 2010, 06:28:37 PM
The first track on Megadeth's first studio album. Fun fact: The pianowork in the "Last Rites" part is all Dave (when he learned piano, I have no idea). The "Loved To Deth" intro sounds like it was redone slightly for "1320' " on Endgame, but both are good songs.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on February 02, 2010, 11:56:19 AM
Man, I can't wait to hear this played live on March 13th. (I can't believe Megadeth never played it, "Rust In Peace... Polaris" or "Five Magics" live before this one-month Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary Tour they're about to go on, either.

I just found out David Ellefson rejoined Megadeth. :P
Having the two Davids together, on the other hand, is awesome, especially because Ellefson was such a key member, a co-founder of the band with Mustaine, another quarter of the classic lineup and stayed the longest after Mustaine (1983 to 2002, which is REALLY impressive given all the lineup changes). It's great to know he's back there and going to be playing at the TWO Deth concerts I'm going to this year.

To think that Killswitch Engage covered this song? BUTCHERING it in the process, IMO? and released it as a single, becoming their best-known song... That's terrible, really, but what's worse is that, being from Massachusetts, most people in my high school that knew about both versions prefer the Killswitch Engage. XP

Really good one. It's sung mostly by Izzy rather than Axl, but Axl provides "backing" vocals during the chorus (his voice ends up overpowering Izzy's? that's my biggest problem with some of the songs where a different member of the band sings lead, especially since there's only a handful of songs where people other than Axl get a chance at lead vocals).

An extract from Megadeth's forums that pertains to this song:
Quote
QuoteAnother thing I hate that Guitar Hero does is edit songs a lot. I undestand they're more child-orientated than Rock Band, but c'mon. They edited the lyrics to Iron Maiden's 2 Minutes to Midnight. There might be some slightly grusome words in there, but Iron Maiden is as clean lyrically as they come.OH yeah that bugged me so much! Especially when you really pay attention to what they did with the editing. So they took out to kill 'the unborn in the womb' and then took out 'children torn in two' which to me means it's not ok to abort babies or kill kids. But later in the song they left the line 'oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies'.
So what they are saying essentially is that you can't kill a baby in the womb, you can't rip kids in half, but feeding them to a war machine is just fine.
Clearly the people behind Guitar Hero are pro-life.

Written and sung by Duff McKagan, as a tribute to his childhood idol Johnny Thunders. The guy died the same year UYI2 was released, but I'm still trying to figure out if the song was recorded before or after (I'm guessing before, mostly because Duff ended up recording another tribute to him on "The Spaghetti Incident?" two years later).
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on March 09, 2010, 12:17:33 PM
Anyone who's played Guitar Hero III should know this one.
It's considerably lighter than a lot of their other songs, but makes for a good change of pace and a nice transition song (the song before it on Karmacode better fits the overall sound of the album, but the song right after sounds more like their earlier work).

Little-known fact: Dave Mustaine composed a good part of the song "Rust In Peace... Polaris" even before his two-year stint with Metallica. The music he came up with at the time was given to this band, but I do like that this song isn't as much a carbon copy as the opening and ending might lead you to believe.

Megadeth - "Recipe For Hate... Warhorse"
Ladies and gentlemen, the "Five Magics" of the 2000's. This song is great, and honestly, I think it would've made a much better opener to The World Needs A Hero than does "Disconnect," which is a tad slow for a Megadeth opening track? the two songs should've been switched on the album.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on March 10, 2010, 06:24:07 PM
The closer to The World Needs A Hero. The first time I heard this song, I was completely blown away. It's an instant classic, and once it's done you hardly feel like nine minutes (longest Megadeth song ever? the next longest doesn't even crack seven minutes) have gone by. It's a downright shame it's never been performed live, however.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on March 10, 2010, 06:47:40 PM
As awesome as Megadeth's "When" is, they admitted it was partly an homage to this song, so I figured I had to listen to this next. It's pretty good, in all honesty? I do like how Megadeth added in their own sound, lyrics and some new riffs, and not only kept "When" from being a carbon copy of "Am I Evil?" but made a gloomier song.

Granted, I'm not the biggest fan of their >2007 stuff, but considering the purpose of the song, I would have to say it's a somewhat good one.

Note that Dave always replaces "U.K." with "U.S.A." within the song and just took a guess at what Johnny Rotten was saying in some parts of the original Sex Pistols version. As much as I like this cover, though, I think it was a big mistake releasing it as a single? and using it as the closer throughout most of the '90s.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on March 24, 2010, 05:23:52 PM
One of those crowd favorites.
There's six songs that get played at pretty much every Megadeth show (this, "Wake Up Dead," "Peace Sells," "In My Darkest Hour," "Symphony Of Destruction" and "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due"), and this is the only one of the six that had neither a single nor a music video made.

They had to use an alternate take for Dave's vocals on the remaster because the original vocal track was lost. I'm not sure which take I prefer, really.

I haven't heard the new album yet, but it sounds very promising based on this intro track alone.

It's so... dissonant. :shock: It's like a proto-noise-rock/proto-heavy-metal song? and I only stumbled across it because M?tley Cr?e covered it.

Hole - "Teenage Whore"
When I first tried to listen to Hole, I skipped Pretty On The Inside since it sounded a bit too dissonant (not that metal isn't much of the time, but I tend to stray towards the stuff with easier-to-spot melodies anyways so yeah), but after getting used to Live Through This, I decided to go back and give their d?but one more chance.

I wonder if it's coincidence or intentional that this song and the similarly titled "1320' " both revolve around cars and speed?
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on April 05, 2010, 07:15:34 PM
The title refers to an archaic naval command meaning approximately "arise, arise" or "get up, get up," but in modern High German, it means "travel, travel"? a concept tied loosely to the album as a whole.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on April 06, 2010, 04:04:42 PM

Angela Gossow just blows my mind. Normally you don't think of woman vocalists using harsh styles of delivery, but Angela's one of the few that can pull off a really good death growl. The drums and guitarwork are great, too? the Amott brothers definitely make hard rock-esque solos work well in a death metal environment.

I wish I could figure out what this song means. My guess is it's about a guy who's playing a game of Russian Roulette with his friends (hence the whole "I don't know how I feel when I'm around you" bit), but I don't know if there's really enough evidence in the song for that. It's a real departure from their usual stuff, musically speaking, but in that, it's pretty good.

Not sure whether the name "J?rn Lande" means anything to you guys, but he fronted this melodic metal band for a few years. Otherwise, they're notable for having ex-members of Iced Earth (one of whom, Ralph Santolla, also had a solo project and brief stints in several death metal bands
).
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on April 16, 2010, 07:53:52 PM
Probably the catchiest out of all the songs recorded with the original lineup, and one of the best at showing how Chris and Gar's previous work with jazz fusion bands affected Megadeth's early sound. I can't get this song out of my head right now...

Favorite song off of Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? It's too bad the band retired it, but Dave Mustaine became a Christian recently and started to feel uneasy about the song's lyrical content. (The same thing happened to "The Conjuring" and "Bad Omen" on the same album, but considering both talk about summoning rituals that backfire, don't they already reject witchcraft, Satanism and all that crap? :?)
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on April 17, 2010, 07:39:20 PM
The album nobody will admit to remotely enjoying. I actually didn't mind half the tracks on it, but it's not exactly something I'd listen to on a regular basis. I don't even care that the songs are solo-less or that the snare drums are snare-less, but the songs feel longer than usual and the drumming as a whole tends to be cacophonous? that's why I dislike a handful of the songs.

Post by: The Ancient Warrior on April 19, 2010, 04:22:47 PM
It looks like a greater portion of the Megadeth fanbase acknowledges Risk than the portion of Metallica fans that acknowledge St. Anger, and with good reason. Like I've said before, Risk was one big experiment for Megadeth, but in no way is it a cacophony. My theory is this: If straight-out rock from anyone else is okay, then why should Mustaine and Co. be forbidden from making that type of music if they want?

I still hate Kurt Cobain as a person, and that will probably never change. But I decided I'd give In Utero another chance, in case I was putting too much of my opinion of him into my opinion of his band's music? and I probably was, since this is actually pretty good after a six-months-later relisten.
?And then I went on to hear it again. Hell, if the rest of the album is like this, that's actually good news. They may never be good in my eyes as Alice in Chains or Stone Temple Pilots, but what can you do?
Post by: The Bamboo Forest on April 23, 2010, 04:33:56 AM
Apparently this is a track originally recorded for Minutes to Midnight, but when a softer sound was chosen for the album, it was rejected and released in one of their fanclub CDs. It's awesome and it sounds exactly like classic early 2000s LP, what a shame it wasn't released as a single or on a studio album.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on April 23, 2010, 11:28:41 AM
Haven't listened to this one-man band in a LONG time? I almost forgot how awesome this song is. XD;; Not the biggest NIN fan (only got a handful of songs besides all of The Slip, which is up for free download from the band's site anyway), but so far this is the best song I've heard by them.

No relation whatsoever to the Rhianna song.
Nope, for those who don't know, they're three cellists and a drummer, who together create a symphonic hard rock sort of sound. They frequently feature different guest vocalists too, though. This particular song features Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil; others include Adam Gontier from Three Days Grace, Sandra Nasic from the Guano Apes and Till Lindemann from Rammstein.

Disco sticks, bluffin' with her muffin.... and a lot of ringing.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on May 07, 2010, 09:50:27 AM
You know, what gets me is when people claim that commercial success alone determines the quality of a band. Look at this song? it failed to chart, but it's way more powerful, faster and musically superior to just about anything more successful bands like Metallica (only mentioned because everyone makes the comparison anyway) have ever done. (For example, how well do you think Kirk Hammett could replicate Chris Broderick's solo at the end?)

I really need to look into more Tiamat than just Wildhoney and A Deeper Kind Of Slumber, but those are their two best-known albums for a reason. The band started out as straightforward death metal, but in the mid-'90s they began to experiment and dabble in everything from doom metal to Goth metal to prog rock. Barely any convential metal influences on A Deeper Kind Of Slumber (no death metal), but the interesting thing about the album is that it uses repetition within the same track in good taste and keeps tantalizing the listener with what could be rather than going all-out.
...It's really hard to describe so just give it a listen. D:

It's just a disgrace because that song is her name's inspiration.
P!nk - "So What"
Meanwhile, Godsmack named themselves after an Alice in Chains song and Seether named themselves after a Veruca Salt song. I don't have a problem with that sort of thing; it's just when you start declaring yourself as big of an act as your inspiration that there's an ego problem.
Lacuna Coil - "Heir Of A Dying Day"
Good example of their older, heavier material. A lot of the big fans of the band tend to call Unleashed Memories their favorite album, but it's probably not the best choice for people who are more into alternative rock. :wink:

But they did a good job with returning mostly to the sound of Awake and Faceless, adding in bits and pieces of the unique sounds that Godsmack and IV have... and honing the combined result. The Oracle might just have become my favorite album by them to date.

This probably shouldn't have been the second song on the album? the mellow intro completely broke up the momentum created by the opener, "Moonchild," although this song isn't bad by itself. It might've been better near the end of the album.

This one almost feels like two songs? sounds weird, but the riffs just after the lyrics cut out and before the breakneck closing instrumental sound like real ending-type riffs... and it's only two minutes into the song.
It almost gives the song an unexpected dragging effect, but the ending instrumental really saves it from that.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on June 14, 2010, 09:39:15 PM
The two songs immediately before this might take some getting used to, but this is epic.
I've already listened to it three times in a row, and for a ten-minute song, it goes by very fast.

What is it with Nightwish and their ethnically charged songs being among their best? I mean, considering most of said songs aren't based around the Finns or Scandinavians in general, it's surprising... but this might just have replaced "Sahara" as my favorite song by them.

AKA the worst song on Once. I can see why the band themselves has never played it live (although Tarja has on her solo tours after the band fired her? at least she had the sense to drop the cacophonous ending, but then she ends up going into a poor cover of "Symphony Of Destruction" by Megadeth, so I guess that's one way to compensate :?).

This one instrumental is basically everything the band has done in the past twelve years? along with some new stuff? chopped down into 6 ? minutes. The cello used during the almost doom-like midsection was very nicely incorporated, and I also love the ending part? they need to try thrash sections like that more often!

I used to hate this song with a passion, but now I think it's really intense, especially since this is possibly the fastest song they've ever done (at least vocally). And Tom Araya's earsplitting signature scream = <3 (even though he does a better job with it on "Angel Of Death").

Yes, it features the song that this song is an acronym of.

Very, very catchy.
I can see why this was made into a single.

It's totally my fave too, but their first three albums and The World Needs A Hero are also up there. And "military intelligence" is STILL two words that can't make sense!

For whatever reason, I didn't really get into this song until I heard the remastered version rather than the original. Odd, considering not much is changed outside of the usual mixing changes and a few bars of solo acoustic guitar added to the front.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on July 10, 2010, 02:43:42 AM
It's too bad most of Izzy's solo albums are digital-only? I've really begun to prefer physical releases these days.

Feels a little long to be a single? I'm surprised they didn't use "War And Peace" or "Saints And Sinners" instead? but apparently it hit the radio yesterday.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on July 13, 2010, 07:13:52 PM
Can't get enough of this. It's a shame the dude didn't put out more solo albums like this after leaving Megadeth? the only other one (besides Return To Metalopolis, which I'm listening to now) was a completely jazz fusion album called Chasing The Sun TEN years later (I listened to it and it didn't quite stack up? and I'm not just saying that because I'm not into jazz.
)

Proud Existence - "Castles In Black"
Sadly I could only find four out of the six tracks of the album in video/prelisten form... but they're also the four longest on this "EP" (it's album-length for Chrissake).
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on July 14, 2010, 08:19:17 PM
Yes, that is the proper title. Just calling it "The Storm Still Rages Inside" would be referring to a totally different song.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on July 16, 2010, 07:28:42 AM
Finally giving these guys a listen... and I like the song, but not how it was mixed. The vocals and guitars are too far back, to the point at which they can be easily drowned out. :?

I love the meaning the song has and it's a nice listen from time to time, but I can't listen to it more than occasionally because the vocalist sucks.
Lacuna Coil - "Heaven's A Lie"
Surprisingly, this song isn't anti-religion? the word "heaven" is being used to mean "your perfect world."

If and when these guys come up with a fifth studio album, I really hope they keep the raw, heavy sound of Jericho? that fourth album of theirs is hands down their finest work yet (I recommend it, people, but good luck finding their stuff in stores

Finally listening to Deth Red Sabaoth, and I already love what I'm hearing. Even if it wasn't all that great, though, I'd still be happy to find out the CD works properly? I was worried it got damaged from being all cramped in my pocket in a folder case... thing... for the entire day of the concert.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on July 21, 2010, 07:38:34 PM
Got the CD I ordered on eBay a week before I expected it.

You know, I don't know what my least fave from Once is anymore. For a while it was "Dead Gardens," but then that grew into one of my favorites. Then it was this or "Wish I Had An Angel," but I listened to both a lot today... I guess it depends on my mood, since there's no songs on the album I genuinely dislike.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on July 30, 2010, 07:31:04 PM
If anything should happen to Chris Broderick (but please don't jinx it), then I'd vote for Michael Romeo to step in as a temporary guitarist for Megadeth. His playing is definitely as precise as the rest of the guitarists Megadeth have had...

If I actually had a sense of relative pitch, I would've caught the one fatal weakness of this song's composition without having a friend point it out: the opening riff, used during the verses, is the same chord repeated over and over. :shock: Otherwise, the song is awesome and almost as great as the original.

Fairly obscure band from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. These guys aren't half bad, either, but there's something about the vocals on some of the songs that seems a little "blah"... I dunno what, really, but while the music isn't bad, I don't think I'm going QUITE as crazy for Angel Witch as I would for other NWoBHM bands like Iron Maiden.

Nightwish - "Passion And The Opera"
Tarja Turunen's voice is magical? I can't believe I used to say Anette Olzon was the better vocalist (although she's also very talented in her own way; I'm seeing now that it's more like comparing apples with oranges). It's too bad there was tension in the band (the details are hard to pick out because each side makes different arguments without defending themselves fully) and Tarja was booted, though, but they seem to be getting along very nicely with Anette in her place.

He's probably the only one to also be hypocritical in the song ("Radicals and racists/Don't point your fingers at me"), which is why I don't mind it at all. :wink:
Symphony X - "Revelation (Divus Penn? Ex Trag?dia)"
Yes, still listening to this. I spend a much longer time than usual breaking in new CD's, but I'm just about at the end now.

Nightwish - "Romanticide"
I can't seem to get this song out of my head tonight. XD One of the crazy ideas I've had lately is starting a band off with a demo that's half Nightwish covers redone in a thrashier sound (probably "The Kinslayer" and "Dead Gardens/Romanticide" because they'd suit the style very well) and the demo itself would be called Night Thrash. I get the feeling that'd be mildly cheesy, though...

I still don't like how they threw in "... haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, baby..." from the original, right before the second verse. It doesn't fit at all with the alternate lyrics.

I could argue that this is their heaviest song, and yet it's never been released on an album or as a single. It's a shame, really...

I still don't like how they threw in "... haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, baby..." from the original, right before the second verse. It doesn't fit at all with the alternate lyrics.
Somehow I neglected to comment on this :shock: I think it would've been better if they rerecorded it for the alternate version, I'll admit, because it feels a bit tacked-on and obviously out-of-place the way they did it... but it could've been made to work.
Hole - "She Walks On Me"
Still really like Courtney Love's aggropsychotic vocals on this one.

Not that I consolidated these two tracks in iTunes, but they should be played together (that is, if you're going to repeat them, don't play the former twice and then the latter twice).

Nightwish's answer to Megadeth's "Wake Up Dead"? very few actual lyrics, so the song is mostly instrumental.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on August 16, 2010, 05:01:55 PM
First time I heard this, I WANTED to like it, but Till Lindemann's constipated vocals during the choruses (something he's usually good at avoiding, IMO) were a glaring problem for me. Now I'm remembering that those vocals were the only issue and the song is amazing... and that Till doesn't sound constipated outside of the FINAL chorus. Gotta love coming back to a song with a more mature look at it...
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on August 16, 2010, 06:04:09 PM
Hoping to really look into more music by these guys within the next few months? I mean, since the two-or-three-year tour they're on now is the last one ever, I want to see them at some point, without being confused about what they're playing.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on August 16, 2010, 09:37:40 PM
Otherwise known as "AxCx" (but with the A and C in the band logo resembling a butt and a vag)... and a terrible introduction to straightforward grindcore, really.

Fellow German industrial band Rammstein has a more famous song by the same title... I wonder if there's ever confusion between the two.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on August 18, 2010, 07:01:56 PM
Something different, obviously. I'm not a big hip-hop fan, but I gotta say Necro isn't bad at all, and I'm loving how some of his songs (like this one) sound more metal? he played guitar for a short-lived death metal band starting at age 11. :shock: Featuring Dan Lilker of Nuclear Assault, Away of Voivod, Sid Wilson of Slipknot and two members of Obituary (including one of the best death metal vocalists I've ever heard).
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on August 18, 2010, 08:33:10 PM
Necro before Necro and Ill Bill before Ill Bill. This is amazing death metal and it's made even more incredible by the fact that these guys weren't even teenagers when they started and were able to write and record very complex material. :shock: Even the vocals are among the best I've heard in the genre, and don't sound raspy or horribly unintelligible? why couldn't the band have gotten a record deal?

I'm sure you can tell I'm on a death metal kick tonight/today.
Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek has to be the best death metal vocalist I've ever heard? extremely clear delivery that still sounds aggressive and percussive, along the same lines as the late Chuck Schuldiner (of Death), John Tardy of Obituary or Andrea Ferro of Lacuna Coil.
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on August 19, 2010, 04:47:05 AM
Never realized how this might be Axl's most aggressive vocals.

Diabolus In Musica really stands out as a Slayer release, IMO. It's still easier-on-the-ears than God Hates Us All (I'm still acquiring a taste for that one), but while it has a thicker guitar sound and more distortion than in the classic albums, it's probably the most technical album in the catalog as well.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on August 22, 2010, 05:02:58 PM
Literally the title (as funny as it might sound to you English-speakers) translates to "path/road/journey to heaven," but the lyrics reflect a situation where survival is unlikely. The music is really nice, and for those of you who don't usually care for six-minute-long songs, this one actually doesn't drag at all (so if you don't mind foreign lyrics, give it a try :wink:).
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on August 22, 2010, 08:43:16 PM
It's a shame this song wasn't on Karmacode itself, but I guess nobody could figure out where to put it. It's only available as a B-side to the Our Truth single.

Megaherz always had this slightly rap-metal sound to them, but after Alexx left and formed Eisbrecher, it seems like that aspect was accentuated. :shock: Still, it's rap metal done well? better than a bunch of other bands out there, anyways, because neither part feels like it doesn't belong.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on August 23, 2010, 09:06:19 PM
First track to My Own Army, their latest studio album which I actually haven't heard before. The vocals seem harsher and throatier than before, the instruments thrashier at some points.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on August 24, 2010, 12:06:04 AM
I've been listening to My Own Army on and off, really. Instrumentally this is an amazing cover, and I do like their attempts at injecting their own style into the song. In that respect, it's well done... but Masha's voice doesn't really do it justice. She does all right for the type of music the band plays on a regular basis, but this song is actually one of her weakest performances. ^^;
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on August 24, 2010, 12:31:49 AM
...Yup, I went there. Finnish symphonic metal cover group, with four well-known musicians sharing vocals on different tracks... and Marco Hietala, best known for joining Nightwish following Wishmaster, contributes the vocals to this one. It's actually amazing because it's the only song I've heard where he combines soft and aggressive vocals.

Skipped right over Seventh Son, actually. :shock: Anyway, this is a good song with a great message... and I'm pretty sure the ONLY Iron Maiden song where the singer curses (but even then, it's only once and fairly appropriate).

Proof that their first album wasn't just a ton of dissonance. Look up the lyrics? it's an analysis of some kind of traumatic incident (probably either a rape scene or a murder attempt) from three different perspectives.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on August 31, 2010, 08:13:19 PM
One of the best album openers I've ever heard.
It seems like a lot of people don't like Seventh Son as much, whether it's because of the featured keyboards at certain parts, the somewhat progressive feel that breaks away from the band's punkish origins or Bruce Dickinson employing snarled vocals for about half the album... but I think all of the above were used in good taste.

An ode to keyboardist/primary songwriter Tuomas Holopainen's lifelong source of inspiration: Disney movies. Distinctly power-metal with some of Tarja's best vocals, but with a nice division into three different parts and with an insanely catchy "Wish upon a star..." chorus.
(The only thing I'd rag on it for is referencing stories and characters which weren't created by Disney... Mulan included. :wink:)

Hardcore punk side project by Dave Mustaine, along with Fear vocalist Lee Ving, bassist Kelly Lemieux and prolific (and then-future Megadeth) drummer Jimmy DeGrasso. Ving's vocal tracks were lost by the time the CD was remastered and Dave redid the vocals himself... I'm trying to do a couple comparisons to see which version I prefer, but I'll probably want the Ving version so the MD.45 album doesn't sound too much like Megadeth.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 03, 2010, 08:12:29 AM
Sounds better than the final version, IMO, especially in the lyrics department.

Still not as great as Megadeth's "Mechanix" IMO, but I'm really starting to like it as a midtempo-to-slow thrasher, and the tacked-on midsection? even though it still sounds like it almost doesn't belong? does do a good job of showing the band's musicianship in the early days with non-Mustaine material. (That, and Kirk Hammett's solo on this song is one of his best ever.)
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 03, 2010, 09:38:31 PM
All that talk in the main spam topic about that young opera girl led to me giving their "Phantom Of The Opera" cover another listen... and then diverting my attention to the rest of the album that features that cover (Century Child), which I haven't listened to in full before.

This and "Five Magics": the vocals on the original master are superior to those on the remaster. It's a shame the original vocal tracks were lost/damaged for those and "Lucretia," although the last one didn't suffer as much.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 05, 2010, 02:13:01 PM
A black metal album I actually like? A well-done cover of a Megadeth song? A good fusion of black metal with clean male vocals? :shock: Holy shit this was a shocker.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 05, 2010, 03:22:43 PM
Oh my god this was hilarious from the first note
Otherwise, this band's early material is actually pretty good. Raw speed metal/NWOBHM that quickly shaped the black metal genre, and it's no secret that the early bands that pioneer each genre of metal sound much different (and quite often, better) than later bands that fit in the same genre~

I will still argue that this was Slash's best solo ever.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 10, 2010, 04:11:20 PM
Quite possibly the last Slayer song to feature Tom Araya's bone-chilling scream. It's too bad his voice is probably too deep and gravelly to pull that off now, because it's actually one of the things that I love the most about his vocals.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 10, 2010, 07:48:09 PM
Why doesn't Slash shred more often? :shock:
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 10, 2010, 09:23:38 PM
As silly as it sounds, I'd like to cover this at some point, and possibly blend the operatic nature of the original with a sort of thrashy style.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 11, 2010, 02:11:49 PM
Just got another Slayer album today. I swear, this one sounds more like something Metallica or Exodus would've done in their early years and less like the Slayer I'm used to, but I love it anyway.

Ambidextrous guitarist well-known for his trademark double guitar (http://http://images.payplay.fm/m/a/mabatio1/600/mabatio1.jpg) (apparently he can play both sides at the same time :shock:). The rate at which he can play is mind-blowing, but I'm actually finding his solo instrumental d?but a tad monotonous anyway because it seems to focus on this rapid-delivery technique too much. I'll probably get used to it listening again, though...
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 17, 2010, 11:26:08 PM
Coming up on two consecutive hours of nothing but instrumental heavy metal... Don't worry, this won't be a nonstop thing.
But I really think Chris Poland's solo d?but is better than that of Michael Angelo Batio, if only because he shows more variety and, in my opinion, conveys a bit more emotion.

To be frank, I can't see myself becoming much more than a casual listener unless I acquire more of a taste for bandleader Dani Filth's vocals? instrumentally the music is great, but his vocals are usually only mediocre. This might be one of his better performances outside of Thornography (where he apparently started using more mid-ranged vocals), though... I mean, just listen and try to tell me there's no emotion.

Supposedly referring to the band as a whole, but I'm convinced keyboardist/main songwriter/bandleader Tuomas Holopainen is basically stroking his own ego here... if so, it wouldn't be the only time ("Ghost Love Score" and "The Poet And The Pendulum," anyone?)

I'm biased towards this version (what else in new?

First time listening to a Maiden album where Bruce Dickinson ISN'T on lead vocals... Paul Di'Anno has a cool voice and style of his own, and I like how it fits the somewhat edgier sound of songs like these.

You could sort of tell Nightwish was going through a transformation/decline starting at Century Child, but there's songs like this which still sounded like their earlier materials. The album and Once after it aren't bad, but I can't say they're as great as Oceanborn and Wishmaster...
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 30, 2010, 04:57:13 PM
One of their most complex songs.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 30, 2010, 06:51:00 PM
Beautiful song, but it could've been even better if Tarja Turunen's guest backing vocals were instead a full-blown duet...
EDIT: I take that back, it sounded better during their performance on the German show Wetten dass..., when her vocals weren't quite as pushed-back. I'd settled for something like that on the CD, really.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 30, 2010, 08:41:28 PM
You know, when I first read the track listing to My Winter Storm, I was a bit skeptical about this one, but it's actually a song about living life to the fullest.

I'm not the biggest on melodeath, but somehow this band seems like it's a notch above most others in the genre. But I think it says something that they originally had one member who did both death growls and melodic singing, but when he left after the third album, they had to get two different vocalists to take his place...

Had to relisten to the same album myself, heheh.
United Abominations was a very solid record, with the overuse of narration being one of the only drawbacks. I do like how it combines the thrashy quality of the '80s material with a greater emphasis on melody, which Dave Mustaine developed in the '90s.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on October 06, 2010, 08:43:24 AM
You know, this and "Dead Gardens" (and of course, "Creek Mary's Blood") are quickly becoming the only reasons I listen to Once. The rest of the songs on the album really pale in comparison to their earlier work, especially because most of the songs are oversaturated in symphonic elements to the point at which the orchestra no longer shapes the songs, but attempts to SAVE the songs.

World Painted Blood is definitely as varied as Seasons In The Abyss, my favorite album by the band... but I like how it still sounds different rather than just being a blatant Seasons II. Even though Slayer is definitely the least experimental of the Big Four, each of their albums I've listened to still has a unique sound to it.
Sure, their faster songs tend to sound a bit samey, but compare the old-school speed/thrash of Show No Mercy to the murky but technical Diabolus In Musica and then tell me the band has no concept of diversity.

A snippet of a live version from the ongoing Survive Tour. The song was recorded on their original EP way back in 1998 and the band can't even remember when they've played it live... but twelve years later it was a pleasant surprise and was nicely modernized so it didn't sound out-of-place.
I hope old classics like this spill over into the states the next time they tour over here~
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on October 08, 2010, 07:37:29 PM
The only pre-Comalies song that's been performed live this year, but without any uploaded videos of it. Apparently it's been rearranged a bit (much like "The Secret...") so it still fits nicely in a setlist this long after it was recorded in the studio.

I know a lot of people just write Slayer off as Satanists or Nazi sympathizers or other lies like that... The latter doesn't fit if you consider that half the band is Hispanic, and the former is false knowing that guitarist Kerry King is an atheist and frontman Tom Araya is Catholic. The band's lyrics simply are not to be taken seriously... at least not ALL the time (consider the almost-as-common anti-war songs).

The original version off Herzwerk, which is basically an album-length demo tape. It has the same exact lyrics as the Wer Bist Du? version, but is completely different instrumentally? I really like this thrashy sound, although it's like apples to the oranges of the dark techno-like final version.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on October 24, 2010, 08:07:31 PM
Old-school heavy metal (well, the band was formed in 1971 but didn't release a full-length album for more than a decade). Sounds a bit like Black Sabbath, but I really like Bobby Liebling's vocals here while I think Ozzy's vocals can be a bit annoying after a while (not trying to downplay Black Sabbath's significance, mind you).

Proof that I have too much time on my hands and don't spend enough of it wisely. Instead of studying, I look up intense Kazakhstani power metal.

Why has this song never been performed live (well, outside of a few tour dates in 2000 where the last part was played)? It's one of the best songs off of Wishmaster and I'm surprised the whole song was never used as a closer on Wishmastour. Besides, I know Tuomas, the main songwriter, loved it? he'd really get into the song when the band actually performed Part 3. :?

Found this band (apparently called the "French AC/DC" by some) through Iron Maiden, since drummer Nicko McBrain was with them first (even though he only recorded Savage with them). Oddly enough, when Nicko joined Iron Maiden, Clive Burr, who he had replaced, replaced him in Trust.

As much as I claim this band is awesome, I haven't really heard more than a few songs until now... and this one is freakin' awesome. Melodic death metal (not to say that clean vocals are present, but just that the melody is more obvious) combined with very thrashy influences courtesy of the guitar-wielding Amott brothers...
The selling point of the band is that they're fronted by a WOMAN doing death metal vocals? it's impossible for anyone with a range higher than contralto to produce death growls? but Angela Gossow actually is very skilled and has a great sound. I like how I can actually understand a good chunk of what she's saying without looking at lyrics, too? I couldn't listen to anything where the vocals are up-front but completely unintelligible.

Man, the Paul Di'Anno years sound so much different from most of the material with Bruce Dickinson on vocals? hearing relatively quiet songs like this was a bit of a shock (the only Dickinson album that seems to have anything like this is No Prayer For The Dying, which I think was supposed to be like a reset for the band's sound).

Credit to Tarja for releasing more of a duet version (rather than her doing just backing vocals) as a bonus track to her new album, What Lies Beneath. I'd say that's the better version... *Jots album down on Christmas wishlist*

Post by: The Ancient Warrior on November 22, 2010, 11:43:39 AM
Chronologically the last Slayer song to feature Tom Araya's high-pitched screams. It's a shame he can't produce them anymore, since they were an awesome part of the band's sound (although, this can be a lesson not to introduce a certain sonic aspect you don't think you can recreate forever).

Why haven't I prelistened to this album yet? :shock: It's been a while since I heard the second part of this song? the only thing off The Final Frontier I'd previewed until now was the music video for just that section. It sounds great even though the lyrics don't really seem as thoughtful as those on, say, Powerslave or Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son... but I'm amazed by the fact that Bruce Dickinson can still reach those same high notes after almost thirty years!

One-off side project of Dave Mustaine and hardcore punk vocalist Lee Ving. Some of the songs off their only album are a bit strange, but some (like this) are really catchy.
Oh, and a fun fact: the drummer for this project was Jimmy DeGrasso, who would only join Megadeth two years later after Nick Menza was discharged.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on December 23, 2010, 11:25:10 AM
This band's instrumentals are great, I have to admit? this one, from the increasingly-harder-to-find-online Fourth Dimension, is probably the second best after "Stratosphere" off of the following album, Episode (there was something about the much later "Stratofortress" that kept it from clicking? it could've been the tone or the relative lack of speed variation? but I didn't hate it by any means). They're all worth a listen, at any rate~

Part of a one-off project by Jayson Sherlock, better known as a death metal drummer. Off the only studio album Hellig Usvart (Norwegian— translation below), the guy recorded everything and countered the "unholy" black metal released by "vtterly kvlt" musicians with what he termed "holy unblack" metal. I'm not usually a fan of black metal... or of blatantly Christian or anti-Christian lyrics... but I'll make an exception for this. :lol:

You know, I'm really starting to think Black Sabbath makes a good transition between "positive" subgenres of metal (power metal, lighter-sounding NWoBHM and the like) and "negative" ones (thrash, Goth, death and black). The band's sound probably shouldn't strike me as "fairly neutral," but then again, a lot can change in forty years. :lol:

Yeah shut up Risk was great.Eh, I have to admit I didn't enjoy it as much as some other Megadeth albums, but NOT just because it was different.
And speaking of Linkin Park, I didn't enjoy A Thousand Suns not because it was different, but because the quality of the songs couldn't live up to their earlier work. Either way, it's just not my cup of tea.

Slayer - "Raining Blood"
So despite this being Slayer's signature song, somehow I never really realized just HOW great a song this is until now— even after I got used to all of Raining Blood, I still preferred "Angel Of Death," "Necrophobic" and "Epidemic." Nowadays, I can't even decide which one is my favorite from the album. :lol:

If this were on Endgame instead of coming out the year after, it'd be my favorite track. Dave himself said it's probably the most complex song he's ever written, but it's also better-written— for one thing, none of the solos feel tacked-on, where most of the songs on Endgame suffered from that.

Now this is how songs whose lyrics reference Christianity should be written: subtle and poetic. Unfortunately, most bands whose lyrics touch upon the subject tend to sound like the musicians themselves think they're missionaries... :roll:

Within Temptation - "Jillian (I'd Give My Heart)"
Yeah, I know I've been listening to a lot of symphonic crossover music lately, but I really think it's soothing. I've heard the previews to WT's new album and while they're not bad, I don't think the direction they seem to be going in suits them... but older songs like this still have their impact.
It's been a while since I listened to The Silent Force, though— it's still great, but somehow feels a little empty compared to Mother Earth and The Heart Of Everything (I'd really recommend either of those two albums, but probably the latter more than the former, to newcomers).
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on February 02, 2011, 12:55:39 AM
Man, I put off listening to Mabool for too long. This band's one of the biggest metal bands out of the Middle East, hailing from Israel and combining prog metal with death/doom and Mediterranean music. Each of their four albums so far is an impressive epic, and I don't think any other band has been able to unite Christians, Jews and Muslims better than these guys. They definitely deserve kudos for doing what the political world can't seem to, hahah. :P

Well, I've listened to a couple slightly longer single-song pieces ("2112" by Rush at 20:33, and "I" by Meshuggah at 21:00 even), so I shouldn't be so uneasy about listening to this 19:56-long song inspired by "2112"... especially since I already know I like some of Venom's work.

This band's well known as one of the only successful death metal bands fronted by a woman, but they actually had a male vocalist, Johan Liiva, perform on the first three albums. I heard he was dismissed because he apparently couldn't perform well enough live, so I was worried about his vocal style when I listened to an early album for the first time... but it turns out, he's a great vocalist like the current one, but in a different style. In fact, they're different in such a way I can't decide who I prefer.

Post by: The Ancient Warrior on February 05, 2011, 06:40:00 PM
I think it's going to be tough to get into the earlier material before current vocalist Timo Kotipelto joined the band— before then, long-time guitarist Timo Tolkki also provided vocals, and I don't really care for his voice. It sounds like he's trying way too hard to sound like Ozzy, and I don't think it works. D: I suppose I should try to focus more on the instrumental aspect, which is brilliant as usual, but still.

One of my favorites by them. I think the band did a great job making the symphonic and metal components mesh better than ever before on The Heart Of Everything— I'm going to miss that aspect of their sound on the next album. D:

Don't ask me for the translation on the title this time— it's not easy to interpret. Some people try to summarize it as "longing" or "yearning," but it's more complex than that and I don't completely understand it myself. I'm under the impression that it's like missing something or someone you've never actually encountered, but I can't say for sure...

Yes, I know I've been listening to them a lot lately. :P I honestly thought she was singing "Dark wings, they are the same" for the longest time... I only JUST bothered to look up the lyrics and found out it was "they are descending." That makes a lot more sense! :lol:
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on February 14, 2011, 06:03:02 AM
Absolutely love this one and its lyrics, but I get confused every time the chorus kicks in, where it seems like either Matt or Axl has gone off the track with their rhythm (sorry, I had to :P). Why don't the drum fills fit in with the vocals? :o

On an unrelated side note, I've decided that if I ever get a back tattoo or something (which I actually do feel like getting somewhere down the road :P), I'm pretty sure it's going to be two GnR logos with "LOVE'S SO STRANGE" in between them. :)

Ignoring the redundancy of the title (since "megilloth" MEANS "scrolls" in Hebrew)... :lol:
I'll admit the main reason I can sit through anti-Christian music like Slayer and not be offended is because 1) I know I won't ever worship Satan or whatever and 2) the band themselves don't support it very seriously, but even so, I'm not so keen on some of the most overt songs as with a good chunk of Christ Illusion. But how should an agnostic like me treat overt Christian songs, if the writing makes it look like the band thinks they're some kind of missionaries? The musicianship on both sides is great, but the lyrics seem to create some sort of... divergence.

You know, I usually end up hating death metal covers of songs that aren't that close to the genre already in terms of sound (Slayer covers end up working well, for example), but this actually wasn't all that bad. I still don't approve of their "Symphony Of Destruction" cover, though... other than Megadeth of course, the only band that comes close to doing that song justice is Nightwish (and even then, that's one of their weaker covers).

Recorded on their EP début in 1998. Last performed live in 2001... until last September, that is. And listening to the 2010 live version, I'm wondering if their next album might sound anything like this. :)

Almost completely rearranged from the version on Oceanborn, but pretty well all things considered. :o It almost felt like two different songs taped together on the album, but this feels more... all-encompassing, in a strange way.

System of a Down - "Streamline"
I honestly thought I'd never listen to this band again, hahah. I think I'd started to become more aversive because their batting average, so to speak, was much lower than most of the bands I like... Does it seem weird to think only about two-thirds of the material off an album "passing" is unsatisfactory? :lol:

Because Jayson Sherlock is not just a great drummer, but also manages to work with great musicians in several different bands. I'd say the best part of Paramæcium/inExordium compared to Jayson's former band, Mortification, is that even though both are Christian bands, Paramæcium manages to be much more subtle and natural with the message.

Off of the title album, this is really the only song that sticks. Enter isn't necessarily a bad début, mind you, but it pales in comparison to their more mature-sounding later albums. You can definitely tell it took them a while to figure out how they wanted to sound, too (just check out their second album, Mother Earth, in comparison), but the result with the sound evolution was great.

Metalcore doesn't usually do it for me, so I was a little anxious before I checked out this band (they're supposed to share the main stage of this year's Mayhem Fest with Megadeth, Disturbed and Godsmack)... but so far, listening through Shogun is surprisingly good. It's closer to thrash metal with a little metalcore/melodeath seasoning if anything. :P Not sure about the older stuff, but...

I really prefer European power metal to the North American variety. There are a few bands (such as Dragonforce) which are exceptions, but it seems like European bands are usually more interested in balancing great melodies with occasional lightning-fast songs, instead of focusing predominantly on the latter. A band shouldn't play at more than two hundred beats per second on every song just because they can; things can just get boring without some slower rhythms in between. :P

I have nothing against sudden tempo changes right before a solo, but with Endgame, it's like the band made two columns: one for song ideas and a second for solo ideas, and they just randomly matched them up to form songs like this one, "Bite The Hand," and "Bodies."

Lately I've been working on splicing that death howl vocal style I used to use into proper death growls and black metal screeches, and I might record a cover of either this or "The Conjuring" once I've practiced both styles a bit more. :P

Easily one of Metallica's best, but this one wasn't played live for more than 10 years after the release of ... And Justice For All... all courtesy of Lars Ulrich.

No clue what she's singing about. :lol: In fact, the only reason I'm giving this a listen is to get an idea of what could have been with Stratovarius— Timo Kotipelto was almost replaced by this band's lead singer, Katriina "Miss K" Wiiala, in 2004. I'm not really sure if that just turned out to be a joke or a genuinely bad move that was taken back, but still.

Considering that Megadeth is playing mostly 13-song sets nowadays, I think there should be only one song from Cryptic Writings each show; and while I used to think "Trust" was better than this one, my opinion is changing - I just love the harmonized solos. :P

Nightwish - "10th Man Down"
Well here's a vastly underrated one. I wonder if it's partly because it's on an EP rather than a full-length album, but that's just speculation. I don't think Nightwish is really known for their B-sides and rarities, hahah.
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on July 07, 2011, 10:47:18 AM
One of the only lengthened intros on a remixed and remastered Megadeth record that I actually like. I don't even think it worked with "Sweating Bullets."

Well, I didn't think it was bad, if that says anything. :P I'm willing to bet it's not actually very representative of how the album will sound— probably one of the more accessible songs on the record, sort of like Th1rt3en's answer to Endgame's "44 Minutes" or "How The Story Ends." Anywho...
Edguy - "Key To My Fate"
Well, if you like Stratovarius and Iron Maiden, this might be a good band to check out. Some similar aspects, but still very creative songs at the same time (and really catchy ones like this one).

It's interesting to note that while Mustaine claims this song has nothing to do with marijuana, the last beat is at four minutes and 20 seconds.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on July 12, 2011, 05:06:53 AM
And I don't think "Addicted To Chaos" will EVER get played for as long as Megadeth is around, considering that Dave can't hit those same notes anymore. :(
True, but his voice has deepened enough I'd just expect him to sing it an octave lower or something if it ever showed up live. Having a different range isn't really an excuse as long as you can substitute a different octave— it's like saying a bass-baritone can't cover a song written for a tenor. :P

Chris' first solo in this one is awesome - reminds me of RIP-era solos, even - but the second seems like mindless shredding and lacks melody, which really stands out on such a melodic song such as this one (like I said, it even reminded me of Maiden).

I think the awesomely heavy riffing in this one makes it the least of the evils compared to "1,320' ," "Bite The Hand," and "The Right To Go Insane" as far as tacked-on solos go.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on July 21, 2011, 09:06:00 AM
Not quite as good as the "Strato-" instrumental series; I think it just changes a bit too spontaneously, which makes it hard to follow or fully enjoy like the others.

Epica - "Chasing The Dragon"
The thing that's really amazing about this song is the sheer range of heaviness. The beginning features only an acoustic guitar, some symphonic instruments and Simone's vocals; it works its way up to the band's regular symphonic-power-metal-plus-death-growls sound about two-thirds of the way in and for a short while is almost noise (cacophonic drumming and shredding plus Mark's death growls) before mellowing back out. It has to be heard to be believed, hahah.

Second time I'm listening to DM in full (the first time was last year on a plane ride :P), and though hailed as a "return to the band's thrash metal roots," there's an awful lot of songs that lean more towards hard rock rather than metal on it.

Tarja Turunen - "Crimson Deep"
I'm not really sure how much of What Lies Beneath was written by Tarja herself, but I'm getting the feeling that she's done more on her own than she did with her last album, and it seems better-written on the whole. If you're into symphonic hard rock, songs like this aren't exactly easy to get out of your head.

South Bridge - "Reminiscence"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbJJxoobw1g
That metalhead friend from Poland I mentioned once or twice? He does lead guitar and lead vocals in this band. This is the rough mix of this ballad, scheduled to be properly mixed and released on their début by December.

When I heard the band ACTUALLY HAS SLOW SONGS, I figured I should give one a try. It's actually not half-bad, but I have a feeling the slower songs might still be too scarce for my tastes... That's kind of why I tend to send DragonForce sound too American to be a European power metal band. :P

Post by: The Ancient Warrior on September 24, 2011, 11:43:39 AM
^ Someone uploaded it after catching it on Octane Radio the other day. I think that's the only way to listen to the new song before the single itself gets released next month.
Love the way it sounds, though, and it really got me pumped for the new album now. :D

Well, this band might sometimes have titles that might suggest even suggest grindcore to some, but their later work (such as this song) is actually very melodic Gothic metal. I'm just totally going on a binge with this band right now. :lol:

Came across this band while I was listening to Stratovarius earlier. I ended up finding a link to a decent instrumental cover of "Infinity," but their original stuff is much better (although I couldn't understand a word of the songs with lyrics seeing as they were sung in Ukrainian :lol:).

From their new album which I just got today. I had no idea what to expect, considering that their Wikipedia article says the following:
Quote
Iced Earth is an American heavy metal band from Tampa, Florida, that combines influences from thrash metal, power metal, progressive metal, opera, speed metal and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
They're not bad so far, although they appear to be a revolving door of musicians. :lol:

Man the début album's a lot better than I expected. It sounds a bit rougher and darker than some of their later albums (it's closer to speed metal, really), but it still manages to work somehow. :o
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on October 17, 2011, 02:22:29 PM

Origa - "Rise"
I still think Russian is one of the uglier-sounding languages out there, but it sure doesn't seem like it with this song. It's also nice to hear an occasional song written for an anime that's not sung in Japanese, but rather fluently in other languages.

Metallica - "The Day That Never Comes"
Well, after I gave Death Magnetic a few more chances, I think I've come to appreciate that most of the album is good especially because of the catchy choruses just a little bit of the blues-inspired hard rock sound from the Load-era retained here. As for this particular song... well, it'd be ridiculous if I didn't straight out say this was a lame attempt at trying to recapture "One," but the lyrics are pretty good so I'll forgive it. :P
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on October 25, 2011, 10:36:59 AM
Well, I have to defer listening to TH1RT3EN somehow, so why not by listening to the only CD on my shelf that's never been listened to? :P Either way, after doing so, I think that leaving it that way probably wouldn't have made a difference.

I must say, making the second track of the album a long song with a slower, melodic midsection is an incredibly (http://y2u.be/4TDeT4DBn7k) original (http://y2u.be/YT516h7QwA4) idea (http://y2u.be/_z-hEyVQDRA) by the band. :P

Kalafina - "Magia"
I really can't get this song out of my head... and with it, I'm stuck thinking about Puella Magi Madoka Magica, the anime it's the ending theme for. Not that it's too bad, since I think I'm actually liking this deconstructive series (even if it is a bit bizarre at times).

Shame this one never became a live staple - it's easily the best album opener that Maiden ever did, and Adrian Smith has one of his best solos in this one too. :? Somewhere In Time is definitely an under-appreciated classic.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on November 15, 2011, 05:52:19 AM
If I were to listen to pop music more often, it would only be if more songs like this existed. Most of the time, the lyrics of songs matter a lot to me, and those that talk about having a good time at a party or whatever just don't appeal to me in the same way as those that tell much deeper stories. Of course, I don't expect a lot more pop songs about poetic fantasies and literary epics, but a little more social commentary would be fine by me, especially considering how many of those I can relate to.
...And honestly, even this song means a lot more to me now than it did when I first heard it five years ago. As I've been getting older and more aware of the outside world, my preferences have changed as well. There's definitely a correlation between the two.

Stratovarius - "Learning To Fly"
Elements, Pt. 1 is probably the best vocal performance I've heard by Timo Kotipelto so far (still have about four more Kotipelto-era Strat records I need to check out, though). I need this album now. :lol:
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on November 16, 2011, 06:06:10 AM
I know this band does quite a few slower songs as well, but I feel that at least 60% of their first two albums is comprised of songs at exactly the same fast tempo such as this one.
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on November 17, 2011, 06:10:42 AM
Paul Bostaph is one of the best thrash metal drummers I've ever heard. He definitely does the best fills, anyway. :D
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on November 19, 2011, 08:43:08 AM
Virtual XI is probably Maiden's St. Anger-equivalent, but all in all it's still a strong release (although I do prefer The X Factor) and shouldn't be put down just because it's not Bruce on vocals. Blaze Bayley is a great vocalist that fits in well with this darker era for the band.

Quite possibly my favorite band in the progressive subgenre right now; and the instrumental that leads up to this song, "Oculus Ex Inferni," is the most dramatic metal song I've ever heard - it almost sounds like a film soundtrack, and I absolutely love it. :D
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on November 21, 2011, 05:48:05 AM
Okay, I can only name a handful of songs in which Lars uses a ride cymbal, and almost all of them are on Kill 'Em All. Has he even had one in his drum set since the Seattle live show in 1989, for that matter? :lol:

Post by: Asian Legends Fan on December 05, 2011, 01:40:56 AM
IMO it's a pretty weak album opener unless you play both parts of Elements back-to-back (in which case it wouldn't even be the album opener anymore :P).

Post by: Asian Legends Fan on December 06, 2011, 10:10:23 PM
Even though songs like these are pretty catchy, this is by far the cheesiest power metal band out there. Their first two albums tend to go in both extremes (lightning-quick songs and soft, mellow ballads) and frankly sound like a dumbed-down version of Stratovarius. And it's pretty much the same drumbeat throughout the entire album.
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on December 07, 2011, 06:51:44 AM
Still prefer The Formation Of Damnation over their classic albums even though songs on them like this one are really good... don't know why, really. :P

Saw what is, sadly, their final album in a relatively hidden record store (yep, record store - not CD store :P) yesterday and couldn't resist such a rarity. As far as this band goes, I think I prefer this album over any on which Chris Broderick played when he was in the band... and they certainly found a worthy replacement for him on this album. Too bad they'll never record another one... :(
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on December 09, 2011, 04:57:46 PM

Post by: The Ancient Warrior on December 09, 2011, 09:09:47 PM

Yeah this one really lives up to its name. :shock::lol: The atmosphere's appropriate and I'm even surprised by how rough or wicked-sounding Anette's vocals get on this one— a real stark contrast to her usual style. It's probably a little too far into the nightmare-inducing zone for it to become one of my favorites, but I gotta admit it's at least a bit better the second time around.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on December 10, 2011, 09:50:14 PM
Yeah, I know it took me a while to listen to the whole album. :P Some songs had to be listened to again because of how good they were. I really like this ending, too— it was really creative to end with a sort of reprise medley, especially considering the album was made alongside a film by the same title, and this would work very well during the credits.

One of Matias Kupiainen's best solos, IMO. :)
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on December 12, 2011, 05:14:26 PM
This is both a sad and uplifting song at the same time, and Tarja's voice does a great job setting the right mood here. It's also a landmark because I believe this is the first song of her solo career written entirely by herself— I think her songwriting grew a lot from her earlier solo album, and I'm wondering how much better it'll get on later ones.
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on December 13, 2011, 04:43:03 AM

New song. :o They premiered it live already, but the studio version has just been leaked by the band themselves.
This one's got an excellent beat, and I love the atmosphere to it. My only real complaint is it seems like there's vocal effects on both Cristina and Andrea, which should probably be downplayed a bit...

I dare the next poster to name one other pop song that speaks out against controversial legislation. Other than "Dear Mr. President" by Pink, that is. :P

Translated into English:
Quote
This stage is the dearest of my childrenPretty impressive poetry, if I may say so. Tuomas Holopainen is a genius for writing such a good song and then making it still sound beautiful even if a big chunk of its listeners probably won't understand a word of it. :lol:
Moonlight moves through alleys
A bent twig, a summer in its care
White vast open sea
On the wings of a phantom moon
Comes to take me home
In winter's land a moment is an eternity
Creeps to me like a kitten's paws
I get to live here where the story begins
Where a violin echoes the eternal melody of immense longing
Waking up the earth with its song

I don't like "Don't Stop Believin' " at all, and "Enter Sandman" is kind of good at best... but the mash-up of the two with a prolific voice actor fronting the band just makes it surprisingly funny and epic. It needs to be heard to be believed. :lol:

Intro riff on an acoustic? Check.
Singing the intro? Check.
Playing the riff and singing at the same time? Forget it. :x

So while it doesn't give me the same headache that the CD version does if I'm wearing headphones, this is called going off too far in the other direction... with an overload of bass instead. :lol:

Just learned one-fourth of the solo to this one. The blisters on my fingers hurt like hell, but I think it was well worth it. :P
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on January 14, 2012, 02:44:12 AM
I don't care if the fans don't like the little child singing at the beginning at the end; Timo Kotipelto's voice is godly in this one and it's gotta be one of my favorites. :lol:

Huh, so apparently there is a good explanation for "without never" in the lyrics. :lol: Finnish, like Spanish, also requires double negatives in its grammar.
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on January 15, 2012, 05:12:44 PM
Unless I'm listening to Type O Negative, I can't really think of a lot of music I can sing along to using my deeper range. This one's an exception, where I think the bass range just somehow fits. :P
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on January 16, 2012, 08:04:15 PM
There's always a gem among the rubbish, and don't you forget it. Modern mainstream music in general may not be my cup of tea, but I can definitely keep on listening to Lady Gaga and Adele as long as they keep on doing what they're doing. *Shrugs*

Nightwish - "Scaretale"
How long could anyone here sit through Anette's "SQUEEEEEEEAAAAAAALING PIGS" line if it were looped? I'd definitely get sick of it before the ten-minute vid of it on YouTube was done; that much I know. :lol:
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on January 18, 2012, 10:05:43 PM
Do I? :oThat's probably for the Lady Gaga and Adele comment...
Wintersun - "Starchild"
Great song by a very talented band - the frontman composed some of their songs when he was as young as 18. :o It's too bad they've only recorded one album all the way back in 2004, and the follow-up to it has been in production for the last six years.

Dark Adrenaline is awesome and this is already one of my faves from it. It's just too catchy.

My favorite on the album right now. It is possibly bias because it reminded me a tad of Comalies, my favorite Coil album. :lol:

Post by: The Ancient Warrior on January 31, 2012, 06:49:59 AM
It's kind of amazing how different Enter is from their later work. A lot more instrumental sections, death growls in addition to Sharon's light mezzo-soprano vocals and extensive use of a repeated riff on almost every track. It's a good thing the riffs are so beautiful, though— this track and the title track are just hypnotizing.
Post by: Asian Legends Fan on January 31, 2012, 07:34:37 AM
I know this one came first, but since I listened to it second, I can't listen to it without thinking it's a clone of "Eagleheart." :lol:
Post by: The Ancient Warrior on January 31, 2012, 10:49:25 AM
Well, this one's replaced "Kingdom Of Heaven" as that one Epica song I can't get out of my head. :lol:

In their entire career which spanned over 20 years, I think this might be the only song of theirs that isn't death, doom, and depression. :P

Yet another Finnish melodeath/doom band, but with a progressive edge and some folk metal elements. Hopefully I can find their record soon, because this stuff sounds absolutely awesome. :o

We Are The Fallen - "Tear The World Down"
They really need to stop the Amy Lee comparisons. I've seen her on Idol. She is not at all like her. I would rather listen to We Are The Fallen than Evanescence.

This is what an 18-minute should sound like. A certain band which I won't name (but is definitely infamous enough, as a result of making garish but often painfully lengthened tracks) should learn from this. :P

Well, I might have figured out why Requiem For The Indifferent doesn't seem to stand up to its predecessors for me. I think it sounds a little too... warm. There aren't as many furious, interesting riffs and the overall tone seems a lot more positive than I would've expected, given the subjects. I also feel like Simone's vocals, while impressive as ever, are more dominant here than usual, and often push the men out of focus (exceptions exist, like "Internal Warfare").
