    I've got Mother Earth... Didn't think that much of it. Definetly nice orchestrations, but a little too Nightwish cash-in, I felt.

    Speaking of Gothic Metal though, you got much My Dying Bride?

    i only first heard within temptation about 2 months ago, so my foray into gothic metal is very new (oh, and nightwish were going to be on my next to-get list, any advice?)

    about My Dying Bride, heard of them, but which album(s) should i check out (bear in my mind the fact that i'm a dirt poor student)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Pretty much any Nightwish album is great, and same goes for My Dying Bride.

    Like Karl says, It's all good when it comes to MDB but I'd start with "The Angel and the Dark River". It's just.... amazing. One of my Desert Island discs anyway.

    Turn loose the swans is very good as well. The vocals are a little harsher on this one though (that's not a criticism btw, just an observation).

    They have the two greatest hits albums out, Meisterwerk I and II but I'd go for the regular albums first.

    I've stopped getting CDs since I realised, I only burn them onto my PC and listen to them there and never the actual CD.


    Since I got broadband I'm operating a "Try before you buy" policy. I listen to a lot more albums but only buy the ones I like and enjoy.

    Some bands really do put a lot of effort into the visual part of an album and that can be cool too.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Manowar- Kings Of Metal.

    It's one of their best, I think. When you're pissed out of your boxers, you can't help but recite The Warrior's Prayer...






    "Grandfather Tell Me A Story!"

    "Oh All Right Go And Get Your Storybook."

    "No No Not One Of Those A Real Story!"

    "A Real Story?"

    "Yes! Tell Me About When You Were A Boy!"

    "Well Then,
    I Shall Have To Take You Back With Me A Long Way In Time.

    It Was My Thirteenth Year On A Cold Winter’s Day,
    As I Walked Through The Enchanted Forest,
    I Heard The Sound Of Horses And Men At Arms,
    I Felt Compelled To Walk On And Find The Place Of These Sounds,
    When The Forest Did Clear I Was Standing On A Hill,
    Before Me Was A Great Plain. Upon It The Armies Of The World
    Standing, Waiting.
    I Thought To Myself For Whom, Or For What Are They Waiting?
    Suddenly A Gust Of Wind Came Up From The North,
    There Appeared A Lone Rider Holding A Sword Of Steel.
    Then From The South Came Another Bearing A Battle Ax.
    From The East Came A Third Holding A Spiked Club,
    And Finally From The West
    A Rider Who Wielded A Great Hammer Of War.
    With Them Came Their Soldiers Of Death
    Followed By An Army Of Immortals.
    They Were Few In Number,
    But The Look In Their Eyes Told All Who Beheld Them
    That They Would Leave This Day Only In Victory Or Death.
    And There Was A Great Silence.
    My Heart Began To Pound,
    Storm Clouds Filled The Sky With Darkness.
    Rain Came
    And The Four Winds Blew With Such Anger
    That I Held Fast To A Tree.
    I Watched The Four Riders Raise Their Weapons Into The Air,
    Without Warning Screaming Their War Cry
    They Led The Attack.


    Down To The Battle They Rode,
    They Met The Armies Of The World With A Mighty Clash!
    I Could Feel The Ground Shake!
    The Earth Drank Much Blood That Day!
    Each Of The Four Was Unto Himself A Whirlwind Of Doom!!

    When The Smoke Did Clear,
    Many Thousands Were Dead.
    There Was Much Blood And Gore.
    Their Bodies Lay Broken And Scattered Across The Battlefield
    Like Brown Leaves Blown By The Wind.
    And I Saw The Four Ride Together To The Top Of The Hill,
    While Below Them The Soldiers Of Death Assembled
    All Those Who Would Now Swear Allegiance To Them.

    And The Four Spoke The Words Of The Warriors Prayer.

    Gods Of War I Call You
    My Sword Is By My Side
    I Seek A Life Of Honor Free From All False Pride
    I Will Crack The Whip With A Bold And Mighty Hail
    Cover Me With Death If I Should Ever Fail
    Glory Majesty Unity
    Hail Hail Hail

    And As I Stood And Looked On
    I Heard The Armies Of The World Hail Them Without End
    And Their Voices Of Victory Carried Long And Far Throughout The Land.

    Well That’s It
    Did You Like The Story?"

    "Yeah It Was Great!"

    "Oh Good, I’m Glad.
    Now Off To Bed With You."

    "Grandfather..."

    "Yes?"

    "Who Were Those Four Men?"

    "Who Were They?
    They Were The Metal Kings!!"


    :D

    What's the Rammstein album like, keep meaning to buy it but I keep finding other things before I get to the 'R' section of the store.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭Civilian_Target


    Pretty good - better than Mutter but same as mutter, the quality is a bit inconsistant.

    Definitely worth having IMO, there are some really great tracks...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 181 ✭✭Droogie

    Mastodon - Remission

    Class cd.



    I got two copies of the Hafler Trio's "I Never Knew That's Who You Thought You Were". I bought it last week and this morning I got a package from his record company with another copy inside. Madness I say.
