Obviously a talented band, I like the singer and drummer, it sort of reminds me a bit of Opeth but with a nu-metal vibe.

Gotta say I prefer more melodic and progressive metal than this though, like Threshold:

I listened to some of Solitude Aeturnus, I like it best from what you posted, never heard them before Oo

Dude, I'll post two songs from SA that I really like:

And:

Both songs need to be listened to in full though. I'll check your songs tomorrow when I'm sober.

Okay, I lied. Threshold seems solid. Is that the same singer that was in SA? Too bombed to bother at the moment.

pop metal = no thanks

pop metal? lol

Edit:

Are you joking?

even this?

idk other than the modern emo whiner they sounded decently. also noteworthy is that i think basicly everything with a music video is pop music. im more drawn to bands that recorded their music in a garage fniss



comicly fitting >DDD how i make youtube inline

you put it the link in [ youtube=url ]

this is a music video!

meh i say music video lightly. doesnt even have to do with the fact if they have one or not, just that it marks a degree of success which doesnt come by often without selling out. all this should be taken very lightly as im probably talking bullshit, dont know any history of those bands

i agree that some people are in it to make money, most often people just want to get payed for doing something they love. most people aren't even capable of doing anything that they don't actually like doing, in the creative arena, anyway. you can say beethoven sold out when he was 13, since he had to cater to exact preferences of the paying clients and you can say britney hasn't sold out, because she just loves making shitty pop songs and would do it for free.

you cannot compare that at all, since it is a historical issue. it is no accident that with the "invention" of a pop music industry (+electronic music without a visible instrumental source, +recordings)some figures like cage, xenakis, ligeti etc.. had to adapt their compositions. look up the current big composers and you'll find weird stuff of spectral music,, atonal madness, stochastic and electro-acoustic pieces.(grisey, radulescu, lachenmann, etcc.)

and it's always an issue between making music you love and designing(!) music. so look at the content. if you're studying composition, you'll have to adapt to some preferences or historical references without being in the need of pure design. if the audience wants you to improvise some pieces doesnt mean, that you're selling out or can't do it in a creative way.

yes, my point is that good music doesn't have much to do with whether it was payed for, or is actually popular.

i agreed

then i guess they are sellouts =)))))))))))

britney loves making pop music i guess

if you want sound like darkthrone in early 90s here you go, ripped from tape

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

from you, I expected something like this:

baby metal - korean characters i cant read

=^_^=

New gojira is out

They're ok, did they use Superior Drummer for the drums though? Sounds like it

Pretty average.
Music = random combination of typical recipes for this style; compositionally they found nothing special, they could switch half the notes to different ones and song would still be perceived pretty much the same. Good song is one where elements are so carefully selected among all possible variations that even a little change to it would ruin it significantly. This is not it.
Words = random combination of "deep sounding" phrases that together make no sense and tell no story.

i agree, not enough dickens or kant in the lyrics

Nice links on here. I'm diggin' it.

Just for fun I'll mention BT. His CD "This Binary Universe" is just amazing, and yet, I tried to listen to his newer stuff and was surprised. How can he go from that to this?

Elitism is always bad, but BT SCORED, and then left the arena.

Oh yeah and speaking of Opera Sauvage... in my younger years there was an all keyboard piece on that CD from Vangelis. It was just fucking amazing. I may try to find links tonight.

Oh yes:
