January 28, 20233 yr I saw them live once, before the dark times. Before the lockdowns. As Sonata Arctica support. Pretty sure they had a different singer back then though. That one sounds like a discount Fabio Lione. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

He really does, I noticed that too 😄 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

January 31, 20232 yr Look at that, Xandria got yet another vocalist... I want to like them, really, but they keep pulling the rug from under me every time I get used to the new lead vocalist. I'm probably the odd one out who liked the first one best. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

You're not alone, the first one was my favourite aswell. It might be because it's the first one I listened to aswell.

February 21, 20232 yr Old thread I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
March 24, 20232 yr ^ There was once a time when people thought HammerFall was cheesy. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
March 29, 20232 yr Is Amon Amarth cheesy? Are their covers? Ehhh, whatever, I just love growly ladies.

April 24, 20232 yr Of which Lord Worm, formerly of Cryptopsy fame, can attest: Edited April 24, 20232 yr by Agiel Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
May 3, 20232 yr Step aside, kids...time for some serious stuff. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
