Onde non chegue un galego...

Un homiño da terra gana un concurso televisivo xaponés cantando nin máis nin menos que a intro de "As bolas máxicas". Poucos serían os nacidos nos 80 que algunha vez non cantaron ou cando menos tararearon unha das series anime que máis influencia tivo entre os novos do Xabarín Club, e incluso pre-Xabarín, que eu acórdome de ser asiduo a SonGoku antes de que o club ese entrara na TVG. Pois este rapaz vigués, que parece ser que automáticamente se convirte nun icono entre os fans de anime españois, foi o gañador do concurso xaponés que sae no video, o cal parece un desvarío de colores, flashes e subtitulos cun formato moi... xaponés (non teño adxectivos para esa forma de facer tv) bastante diferente ós programas nacionales...

Keep Of Kalessin - Dragon Tower

E esta será a canción que Keep of Kalessin fixo para a preselección noruega de Eurovisión. Un chisco máis accesible que o seu traballo previo, sen ningún tipo de furia nin rastro de black metal salvo pola voz rasgada, pero a min gustoume, que queredes que vos diga! Outra cousa é que sexa unha canción válida para a xente que leva esa patraña de "concurso"...
A alguén lle recorda a outra canción? Eu creo que hai outra que ten o estribillo parecido pero non sei de qué grupo..

Surprises 2009: Leprous - Tall Poppy Syndrome

Band: Leprous
Album: Tall Poppy Syndrome (first album)
Genre: Progressive Metal
Country: Norway

Leprous is a young, five piece band from Notodden, Norway, playing experimental progressive metal. The band was founded in 2001 though has gone trough a few changes in the line-up.
The bands latest album Tall Poppy Syndrome (2009) has received outstanding reviews worldwide, and the material for the sequel is currently under developement. Meanwhile, Leprous will hit the road, and show the world that their songs sound even better on stage. Their impressive live shows cought the eye of Ihsahn (Emperor), who found it best to hire the entire band in his ensemble. In addition to this, Einar Solberg was hired as synthist and co-vocalist in Emperor, for their reunion shows in 2006-07.
Leprous' latest effort Tall Poppy Syndrome was recorded, mixed and mastered by Jonas Kjellgren in Black Lounge Studio / The Abyss in Pärlby, Sweden, during august 2008. This recording granted Leprous a record deal with the american Sensory Records, as well as the cooperation with Intromental Management. Prior to Tall Poppy Syndrome the band has recorded two demos, Silent Waters (2004) and Aeolia (2006).
Since the first time I've listened this album I got somehow captivated by the melodic-atmospheric way of making proggressive metal of Leprous. Structures are sometimes strange and influences of Opeth or Pain of Salvation are quite noticeable as well as Prog Rock. Clean vocals are the main ones but we can find some harsh moments, sometimes joining jazz interludes, dreamtheatherian moments or darker passages, all quite well mixed, which gives this album a great variety. If you like proggresive metal with several influences you should give a try to Leprous.

Bo Nadal

Ata no Mediaportal, eso sí que é un avance!

Dicen que ata que non apareza un disco no Mediaportal, un non é grupo nin é nada.. pois xa sucedeu! 4 anos tarde, pero conseguirono, non me preguntedes moi ben cómo, porque é a versión con "Lúa de Decembro", que rematara xusto a semana antes de irme para Estonia, así que non tiña ningún CD con esa canción añadida -como ultraextrabonus- ata aquela. Entón regalei un par deles a algún amigo e pode que fose eso. Pero bueno, vaia cousas que pasan XD
Por certo... proggressive gothic... váleme... pero power metal... non o acabo de ver...
Hala! ahí queda! XD de momento ninguén me puxo a parir polo sonido a pc... será que nin sequera lles apetece descargalo XD

Opeth e Dream Theater participan na Banda Sonora do videoxogo God Of War III

A través de Roadrunner Records sacarase un EP chamado God of War: Blood & Metal que estará composto por cancións feitas especialmente para o xogo para PlayStation 3 God of War III Ultimate Edition que sairá en Marzo do 2010. As bandas que participan serán Opeth, Dream Theater, Killswitch Engage, Trivium e Taking Down, e como dixen, compoñeran música exclusiva nunca antes sacada ó mercado!

Os que compren o xogo conseguirán un código exclusivo para baixar o EP así como incluso un documental sobre a historia de God Of War e máis extras.

Parece que estamos nos comenzos de novas formas de fusionar mercados de diferentes tipos de artes. E por outra parte, empézase a demostrar o incrible poder que ten a industria do videoxogo, que é capaz incluso de sobresalir por encima da cinematográfica en canto a resultados económicos nos últimos anos.

“I have played the previous God of War releases,” said Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones. “To be a part of this game in any fashion is amazing! Let the rivers flow red with blood; there is vengeance to bestow! Bring me more new finishing blows to my enemies!"

“Music has always been an important part of videogames and can help bring titles to life,” said Stig Asmussen, God of War III Game Director. “Our goal is to make God of War III a special release in all areas and this just another way to offer fans and newcomers a worthwhile experience.”

“This is the first time in 24 years that we've written and recorded a song for anything other than one of our own albums, so we're up for the challenge and excited to have been asked,” said Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy about recording an exclusive instrumental track for the soundtrack.

“When we were initially asked to write an original song for the game, we were slightly perplexed since we’ve never actually written a track for something other than a Trivium record,” said Trivium, vocalist Matt Heafy. “But we answered the call as we are fans of the game. Writing the song was a fun experience. We started piecing riffs together on tour and then we really put time into the song when we got home and had the chance to go into the practice space to work on our ideas as a group. This new song captures a certain energy we've been trying to harness on record as well, as it will show all our fans worldwide where Trivium is heading musically in the future.”
