I was talking to Tony about this band that I was introduced to. And I am impressed, they're very good. I love the vocals and the guitar and drums are brilliant. It's just "one of those bands", in my opinion, that you just have to have in your playlist.
Obviously, if you don't like Metal, I guess to each their own!
But anyways; I bought the album and it's on my iPod, but why the topic?
To spread the word, of course!
Enjoy (hopefully): Amaranthe "Hunger", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y25snz83ms

I approve
But not of the music ;)

I think I can guess, haha!

dunno if i like that or not. I mean i like some symphonic metal like nightwish and delain, but that's kinda like pop symphonic metal :lol: And it's not like symphonic metal isn't pretty mainstream already (for metal I mean).
EDIT: wah wtf now there's cookie monster :lol:
craziness
EDIT #2: that chorus is actually pretty good :lol:
-
Crivens! That's Eurodance synth part!
I, unsurprisingly, don't dig the music at all and then there's the schoolboy video... :lol: She IS very pretty though. So redeeming features and all that... Maybe if I though Lacuna Coil were a bit on the heavy side I'd be into this.
Amazing, it even had a Mission Impossible closing shot.
-
i thought she'd look better with less makeup. It's like they're using makeup to make her look worse :lol:
Nice (albeit too short) solo at the end.
I'd have said that was heavier than lacuna coil (what with the cookie monster), though poppier at the same time. It's kinda weird... although..
... I think I like it now :lol:
-
I love the cookie monster! :D
-
don't really like cookie monster... i can take it in small doses but i prefer singing
-
I like more abrasive vocals over the cookie monster thing, but it has it's place. It can be done in a soft or harsh way too, mind. It doesn't always sound like George Fisher.
-
I like that it is singing. I like singing, better by far than 'cookie monster' vocals, by and large (even though I listen to metal that only nfe, and maybe hth, would consider not the heaviest and most brutal of the heaviest and brutal)
I hate that its poppy autotuned gay arsed shite singing.
-
it's true that it sounds quite popped out. modern production at its best. i dig if only for that. i,m sure these songs will find their way into clubs eventually.
-
Not what i was expecting at all...
Sounds like a (very good) Eurovision Song-Contest entry to me. An enjoyable few minutes, but I'm unlikely to go hunting for anymore.

Damn you!!!
I've had that main riff stuck in my head all day, I keep telling myself I'm not suppose to like it but it's growing on me :(
-
Wow, i'm sorry but that was absolutely horrible. :(

Liking a guitar riff isn't that bad.

I did say to each their own if they didn't like Metal.

I just made the mistake of not only exposing my ears to this, but also clicking on the 'machinae supremacy' link to the side. more europop synth metal, with a pop of a sci fi power metal twist maybe??? Of the two, at least Amaranthe seem the less cheesy of the two and at least have a catchy chours.
It was ok in the end cos I balanced it out with Obituary.

Sorry was a bit viscous there, but to say to each there own if they don't like metal is a little off. I love metal...just don't consider this metal.. 8)

just listened to this finally - not what I expected at all!
-
i'm not sure power metal and eurodance should meet in this way..

And there was I thinking that it would be right up your street :lol: :wink:

:D
well, I do like power metal, and I do like eurodance ;) and i do like alot of techno and rock crossovers.. but theres seems to be something a little bit too over the top about this stuff. needs to have a darker undertone somehow.
edit: theres also something about it that doesn't ring quite true, a lack of sincerity maybe
-
it sounds great, if a bit obvious, i think that's where you see your lack of sincerity XD. i mean, remove the guitars and the drums and keep the vocal lines and add more synth and you've got some hard edged electro right there, haha.
-
Hrm.. to me it sounds like a dumbed down version of Kamelot ... if only they would have stayed FOCUSED on the girl for more than half a second at the time..

Well, it's part power metal, after all.
