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.”

Surprises 2009: Damned Spirit's Dance

Band: Damned Spirit's Dance
Album: Weird Constellations (first album)
Genre: Experimental Progressive Metal
Country: Hungary

Damned Spirits’ Dance came to life at the beginning of 2002, but it was not until 2004 when they recorded their first material: ’Hide from Daylight DEMO’. The first full-length album "Weird Constellations" was finally recorded in the end of 2007, mixed in 2008 and finally released in 2009.
Listening to Damned Spirit's Dance is a total experience. You won't be able to define which style or what reminiscences you are listening to. Their music is rich, experimental, and takes influences from many genres. The result is a varied album of a kind of proggresive black metal, cosmic atmospheres, epic moments, electronica, catchy rythms, alternative metal, females voices (on "the Angel and the Dark River")... and they even dare with dance music combined with the strenght and speed of black metal in "Fake"!!! Could be a mess if the proper minds weren't behind all that, but the team of DSD get total success from mixin all these elements.
My favourite surprise of 2009, and a band to follow. If you like experimental metal in a darker way, get this album! I already did it!

Nova canción de Dark Tranquillity

Nova canción do próximo disco de Dark Tranquillity, e a primeira sensación non é a mellor. Curiosa tamén a portada, que parece casi máis a dunha peli de zombies de serie B que unha das típicas do Grupo.

Keep of Kalessin a Eurovisión?

KEEP OF KALESSIN Competing To Represent Norway In EUROVISION SONG CONTEST
..Norwegian black metal band KEEP OF KALESSIN is one of the artists who are competing to represent Norway in next year's Eurovision Song Contest.

On Tuesday (December 1), KEEP OF KALESSIN guitarist and songwriter Obsidian C (real name: Arnt Grønbech) told the Norwegian TV show "Lydverket" that he's looking forward to performing the song "The Dragon Tower" alongside Norwegian pop artists and mainstream songwriters.

"I read an interview with Per Sundnes (host of the Norwegian Eurovision finals) where he said they wanted darker and harder songs for the Norwegian Eurovision finals," he said. "At the same time, we had made a song with a catchy chorus, so I just sent it to them."

On being called sellout:

Obsidian: "I think we are gonna get some reactions from the black metal scene, and lose some credibility. Some people, at least, will call us sellouts, but people saying those things are usually people who have an underground band themselves but make a living from selling hot dogs at a gas station. I think it's less of a sellout to play in the Eurovision than to sell hot dogs."

Finnish rock band LORDI won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2006 with the song "Hard Rock Hallelujah". Obsidian C doesn't believe KEEP OF KALESSIN will achieve the same type of sucess in the competition, but he's looking forward to getting more mainstream attention for the band.

"The song might be a little too extreme for us to win, but hard rock has performed well in the Eurovision earlier, so we'll just have to wait and see," he said. "The song will at least give us a little more attention with a broad audience back here in Norway."

Leif Åge Reme, executive producer of the Norwegian Eurovision Song Contest finals, says that the TV show did not ask KEEP OF KALESSIN to take part in the competiton for publicity. "Eurovision is a songwriting contest that reflects the type of songs that are being written around the country, even if that means it is not pop. We are seeking a broad selection of songwriters, and not the publicity."

E como non, xa houbo reaccións do tipo "vendidos", etc. por parte da comunidad "black metal". Seica o dos "hot dogs" non sentou moi ben XDD
Bueno, a mín nin me vai nin me vén porque ese concurso é unha completa chorrada, pero sin duda o día despois de que celebre, buscarei por Youtube a actuación dos KoK si finalmente salen elexidos por Noruega.
