Surprises 2010: Jaldaboath

Band: Jaldaboath
Album: The Rise of the Heraldic Beasts (first album)
Genre: Medieval-Pagan Metal
Country: U.K.

The head of The Meads of Asphodel and the extincted band Ewigkeit comes with a new weird project that mixes the melodic pagan-folk-medieval metal with funny lyrics, keyboards and way of playing. Many song melodies are inspired by other melodies like "Hark the herald" (a medieval tune) or "Jaldaboath" (a TV production from the 70's-80's).
It might recall you to a Heavy Metal version of Monty Python, and could be called something like Happy-Pagan Metal. In these days it is really difficult to find a band that creates their own style, a worth listening for all the unabashedly pagan-folk metal fans.

1. Hark The Herald 03:31
2. Calling On All Heraldic Beasts 04:35
3. Bash The Bishop 04:24
4. Seek The Grail 04:21

Band: Ghost
Album: Opus Eponymous (first album)
Genre: Heavy-Rock-Doom

Ghost is a strange band that comes from the north of Europe practising a kind of psychedelic heavy rock, with bits of stoner and doom. The lyrical content is based on satanism and they hide their own names as their own appeareance.

Surprises 2010: Morowe

Band: Morowe
Album: Piekło.Labirynty.Diabły (first album)
Genre: Post-Black Metal
Country: Poland

Great first album of this polish band, having the essence of black metal in the background, twisted melodies and atmospheres, and an evil ambient that will bring the darker and colder feelings you might have back to your inner self. Probably the best album of the year.

Bizarradas Musicales: Norrin Radd / Nesmetal

Chegado de Canadá, Norrin Radd é un friki do sonido NES de 4bit e do death metal técnico que se propuxo facer unha mezcla totalmente impensable... máis aló de mezclar Metal con teclados 4bit ó estilo de Machinae Supremacy ou eso que está tan de moda últimamente do Nintendocore, ou de facer versións en plan metal de bandas sonoras da NES, o rapaz intentou facer Death Metal con sonido Nintendo!!
O resultado de Norrin Radd é algo que chama a atención porque por veces podemos pensar mentres o oímos que poderíamos estar xogando perfectamente a calquera daqueles xogos da Game Boy, e por outras veces o ollo vaisenos ó peaso de riff potente que sería ese piribipiupiu cunha guitarra de verdade. Moi interesante, e moi friki :D

http://www.myspace.com/norrinraddnesmetal

Nesmetal é outro exemplo que xunta o death progresivo co sonido NES.
Un día teño que poñerme eu a facer algo con este sonido, que tamén os teño no programa tracker que utilizo :P Non sei se chegaría a facer algo semellante ó que fan eles, porque a pesar de ter un sonido que moitos opinarán como "cutre", non deixan de ter ideas musicales moi interesantes.

Diario dun vi-king VII - A Subconsciente Rebelión

Bueno, como estiven pensando que vai pasar unha boa temporada ata que volva actualizar esta sección, e realmente teño coma un 25% da nova demo-CD feito sólo, cambiei de opinión e vou deixar a nova canción dispoñible para baixar.
A primeira persona que a oeu dixo que lle gustara e que era algo así coma unha nova búsqueda de horizontes musicales. Eu.. non o creo. Pa mín é outra máis, mellor cas anteriores (son un renegado XDD), pero non moito máis. De feito suelo ter moi boa opinión nas primeiras veces que oio as cancións despois de telas rematadas e pouco a pouco voume desinflando pensando que non é para nada bon material. Vós diredes:

***O link quedou desactivado, os que cheguedes tarde a esta entrada, tócavos esperar a tela demo rematada***

Os gustos musicales de Metallica

Logo a xente dice que Metallica se botaron a perder.. (bueno, díceno os que aínda lles queda un mínimo de criterio musical).. vendo os gustos de Mr. Ulrich e Mr. Hammett sobre a mellor música que oíron nestes últimos 10 anos, non hai outra realidade posible...
Que sí, que sí... que hai que ter un gusto heterogéneo e vistas amplias, pero non me digades que poñer a Eminem como un dos 10 mellores discos da historia da música recente non é un delito. Hai máis perlas coma Pink, Amy Winehouse ou Kid Rock, non volas perdades...
Aparte que, o seu nacionalismo norteamericano débelles de prohibir oír nada que salga do seu país, porque de Europa ni pizca, e mira que se fan bastante mellores cousas aquí que aló, salvo U2, Wolfmother e Gojira pa Hammett así mirando por encima, o resto, USA total...
O que eu digo é... se esto é o que suelen escoitar os membros dun grupo de metal, apaga e vámonos.. así lles saliron as bazofias que lles saliron últimamente, incluso ese intento de "volver ás raíces" -coma dixeron eles- que foi o sobrevalorado e falto de inspiración Death Magnetic.

Bizarradas musicales: Where Angels Suffer

De mans de Chris Holmes e Randy Piper, créase en 2010 este grupo chamado Where Angels Suffer. Para os que esteñades un pouco perdidos en nombres (eu son o primeiro, nunca fun moito de saberme alineacións de metal, ainda que Chris Holmes é unha institución oitentera), estes homes proveñen da mellor época de W.A.S.P.
Parece que uniron forzas para crear este grupo cuias iniciales son un burdo calco do grupo de Blackie Lawless (W.A.S). Ben, e vós diredes: "e qué hai de bizarro nesto, aparte de que o nombre sexa un tanto ridículo?". A cousa é que Randy Piper xa tiña o seu propio grupo, no que xa levaba un par de discos baixo o nome "Randy Piper's Animal" ou "Animal", cun estilo moi WASP e que incluso superaba ampliamente a todo o que saleu da manga de Lawless nos últimos 20 anos. O seu último disco "Virus" do 2008 é un trallazo!
Ben, vouvos poñer os tracklist primeiro do album "Virus" (2008) e logo do primeiro de WAS, "Purgatory" (2010)

Virus:
1. Cardiac arrest
2. Can't stop
3. Don't wanna die
4. Crying eagle
5. Unnatural high
6. Judgement Day
7. Who's next
8. Zombie (The Cranberries Cover)
9. Shoot to kill
10. L.U.S.T.

Purgatory:
1. Cardiac arrest
2. Can't stop
3. Don't wanna die
4. Crying eagle
5. Unnatural high
6. Judgement Day
7. Zombie (The Cranberries Cover)
8. Shoot to kill
9. L.U.S.T.
10. Violent New Breed
11. Morning After
12. Eye of the Storm
13. Boom

... vaia cara! para vendelo coma un novo disco dun novo grupo, o que fixeron foi regrabar o Virus enteiro coa mesma formación salvo Holmes, quitarlle unha canción (Who's next) e añadirlle 4 cancións (as 4 últimas, do disco debut de Randy Piper, "Violent New Breed")!!!
Unha total decepción que supoño que busca chamar a atención dos fans máis cérrimos de WASP, que por outro lado deben estar completamente aparvados se seguiron comprando os últimos bodrios de Lawless e non se deron cuenta dos 2 grandes discos de Randy Piper (que son máis WASP que os últimos de WASP! -alomenos no sentido dos 80's-).
A paradoxa do fan sin criterio, diría eu.
Pero eso non quita que WAS debera empezar por facer algo propio como grupo...

Por certo, qué gordo está Holmes!!
