    Valhall - Heading for Mars

     

     

    Freakin amazing.

    There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.  

     

    Also I love this Sunn O))) - Trane mashup:

     

    Dude, that's awesome.

     

    I'm missing the metal pics from the first page. That was a nice combination, so here is a picture of cast iron panties:

    We're all doomed

    Also some music, as that what this thread is about.

    Something new:



    Something old:

     

    Something borrowed:



    Left out the "something blue" part that I intended to do, cause I couldn't come up with anything else then Blue Oyster Cult, which was already posted.

    Death - Altering The Future

     

    There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.  

    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. Mencken

     

    Blaze gets a lot of flack, but he can sing well for what suits him.  The Trooper....does not. :lol:

    He was in an impossible situation anyway. I'm not even sure it is possible to replace an iconic lead vocalist, especially one of a caliber like Bruce Dickinson, without the new guy getting a lot of flack. Regardless of whether it is justified or not.

     

    Part of the problem is also that the next album almost invariably ends up being a degenerated hybrid where the songs feel as if the vocalist doesn't fit, especially if most of the album was finished prior to the vocalists departure - say hello to Iced Earth's The Glorious Burden, where the only good songs were on the bonus disc that were specifically written with The Ripper in mind or Nightwish's Dark Passion Play.

     

    Kamelot is a weird case as they managed to find a replacement that pretty much sounds like the original.

    I do like Maiden's X Factor album and I think Blaze did a good job with the vocals there, maybe darker, more pessimistic songs fit his style. The Virtual, XI on the other hand, is the worst Maiden album. There's not a single song there I like and the singing feels lazy. Futureal and Clansman are kinda okayish though, but it's still a horrible album.

    This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

    Gah, wrong thread.

    Daemonarch - Hymn to Lucifer

     

    There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.  

     

    I think with Deathspell Omega, Antaeus, Blut Aus Nord, and this I'm more likely to associate Black Metal with France than Scandinavia.

    "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."

    Cheesy metal covers of cheesy 80ies style pop songs.
