try2handing Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) In that case you might like Santiano too... Santiano - Könnt ihr mich hören The video's not available in the US? I listened to the live performance instead. I'm liking their sound so far. Started listen to Von Liebe, Tod und Freiheit on YT and at the intro of the first song I knew I'd heard that tune in a Leaves' Eyes song. Turned out to be "To France". Like, exactly the same tune. Funny, huh. Edited July 8, 2018 by try2handing

Agiel Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) And now for some easy listening: Edited August 10, 2018 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 Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."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
Azdeus Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Very headbangable 1 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.

majestic Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Had thought In Flames was garbage, was just their newer stuff. Ah, the early 00s were "fun" times for metal fans. In Flames' Reroute to Remain, Metallica's St. Anger and Theatre of Tragedy's [ˈmjuːzɪk] marked the end of the era where I could go out and grab a new album of a band I liked without reading reviews or listening to samples. There are other examples of course but those weren't as extreme or at least not as jarring. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

I didn't know their "new" stuff was bad, because for the most part I only listen to music based on recommendations from acquaintances, so I don't really keep up with what bands do. So, keep recommending... - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
majestic Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 My favorite In Flames album is Clayman. It came out after they toured with Moonspell and has some obvious influences from that tour as well, e.g. Clayman being the first In Flames album to feature synths if I remember correctly. It also helps that I really enjoy Moonspell, particularily Irreligious. I'd consider both - Clayman and Irreligious - quintessential items in any metal fan's collection, regardless of genre preference, and I don't even like most Black or Death Metal music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDwqzGtjGMU 1 No mind to think.

Azdeus Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Don't remember if I've posted this one before, but if I did, I have no shame. It's good enough to be posted thrice. Floor Jansen has won me over completely with this performance, better than both Tarja and Anette. 2 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.
