Those really weird times

So I got back from Budapest, Bulgaria and got myself a nice cd for my nameday, Dragonforce Maximum Something. I played just the tracks I knew earlier, Defenders and The Game and I leave the rest for later, I know it will be good.

What the fuck has happened in those few years?

I start to hate Sonata Arctica and I like Dragonforce? If I would go back through time to meet the young me he would kick my ass for it "Are You shitting me, punk? Didn't You hear Unia? Fuck You, I'm killing myself so I won't become You"

Damn, sometimes my thoughts scare me ._.

Oh well, screw SA for now. They are sad. Let's focus on DF now.

Why was I hating the band? It was always a very technical band with crazy guitar solos and a massive fanbase because of their song getting to Guitar Hero. The fanbase was a real pain in my ass as it was just a bunch of kids not knowing much about power metal in general (I think I even heard them saying dumb shit like Edguy being just a shitty copy of DF), just like a fanbase of every band loved by kids, Slipknot, Nightwish, Slayer, Metallica, Nirvana, BFMV, BVB and other. When it comes to band and their music alone it was irritating to many power metal fans, most of their music were solos, just showing off how talented they were. It's not a bad thing, but it's a damn music, the finest form of art, food for soul, not a fucking gym "look at me, ma, my dick grew 0,1 cm since my last album!"

-_-

Yes, solos are important. And yes, it's a very good thing to show how talented You are, but most of the time DF solos were out of place, too long and all over the place. Listen to any Galneryus album, solos are also very focused on but as You dig into emotions behind the music You can see that it all fits, the music gets more and more tense to the very top and then solo breaks like an orgasm after a faster and more passionate fucking. DF just prefered to jizz everywhere with their music cocks.

Is it just me or am I missing something in my life? :'(

+ they sucked live. HARD. I know that mistakes are hard to avoid but damn, ZP sucked live with his voice (so basically he sucked with his mouth. Oh god, my jokes and ANALogies are getting worse and worse every second -____- ). Now it's a way different story, with Marc on vocals. Do I like his voice? Kinda. Do I think he is better than ZP? Maybe. Am I his die hard fan? Nah. But he's good, 7/10. Good lookin'. Would fuck.

Waitwha-anyway, with those last 2 albums with Marc I can see the band growing up. Not really slowing down but The Power Within was a Marc test drive, with many songs quite simmilar and fast but not so solo packed and the main jewels were actually slower tempo songs, Seasons and Cry Thunder. Now I must say that Defenders from their new album is really a song that I like , it has tempo changes, not bad lyrics, a bit of progressive touch, nice sounding rhythm guitar, good solos and perfect drums (a bit too fast tho but still awesome).

So yeah, way to go DF, welcome to the world of a real power metal :) You guys have a lot of skill, experience and I'm really glad to hear decent stuff from You.and can't wait to see You guys on the road again :)

Death Sentence?

Ok, so I've seen some people commenting that they should restore death sentence to pedophiles, child murderers and so on. While normally I see killing people as a pretty harmless hobby with a lot of healthy movement involved this however got me thinking if it's a good idea. A goverment, a country, a society being a final judge of someone's life. A collective that decides whenever You should be alive or not. As a metalhead I was physically and verbally attacked by people , also called a satanist. A majority of people thinks I'm something bad. While I'm not quite known of killing and raping children ), I still kinda think, taking under consideration a fact that a majority of people are fucking retarded ("look how dumb an average person is, and realize that half of them is even more stupid!" ), that a country shouldn't ever go back into killing people and calling it justice. But I also think that those rapists shouldn't be comfy in their prisons for the rest of their lives, it's a waste of food and space, also I think a revenge is a nice thing and parents of the raped/killed children shouldn't be unable to have some. So, a solution is quite simple- those rapists should me marked as "persona non grata extreme". They would be outcasts, unable to get any help or resources from their country and everyone would have a right to kill them if they wanted without any repercussions (aside maybe being forced to clean the body after).Everyone who would be angry that those people are still alive would have a free hand to torture and kill the bastards, also it would be way cheaper for the country this way :) No posts about music, sorry, I'm on vacation :D

Album of the year 2014

Yea, it's still 5 months to the end of 2014, but I've already decided. Year ago it was Omnium Gatherum's "Beyond" to me, even though I made it clear it's the Melodeath album of the year, with Stratovarius taking Power Metal scene and Finntroll taking folk side. But overall the most listened to album was OGs.

This year it's Babymetal "Babymetal". If it's weird to You just listen to it, try not thinking about all the hate those guys and girls get and open Your mind a bit. It's a masterpiece, both in mixing and production, all songs are catchy, the guy which arranged them on the album was a genius- we have a shitload of hit songs and still they managed to place them in an order of an awesome album- You won't be bored by listening to the whole thing.

Don't think about it as a specyfic genre metal, there are many pop and j-pop elements, usually one song bows to other genres like hip hop, dubstep, reggae and typical anime soundtracks. We have all mixes of metal, I can clearly hear many power metal elements, heavy metal, progressive metal, even symphonic and death metal. Oh, and it's worth to mention about 90% songs is catchy as fuck, hell, shit, cuntjuice and others. Really, it will drill Your head with "heado-bang" and other weird sounds you have no idea how to write down but know how to sing.

Favourite song from the album? Well, impossible to choose for me, but I think most live shows show that Headbanger is nr. 1.

Oh, and I wanna thank the band behind the music of Babymetal- girls are awesome but the guys are talented and skilled beyond my expectations, and I watched enough live shows to notice these guys are a real deal (not the skeletons, they are only a visual fake band, I'm talking about mental patients :P ).

.....
Ok, Galneryus guys are better, and I wish the world will notice one day.


Lyrics? Yeah, a bit simplistic, that's the charm. Omnium didn't have very deep lyrics too. So yeah, sod off.


Score? If You care enough- ok! 100% . Yes, more than Wintersun's Wintersun had from me. Haters gonna hate.




Just joking, not as good, some songs were only "fucking awesome", not "musical blowjobs awesome" so 96%. But for getting the metal scene so alive and fucking with so many genres without a condom they deserve a 100%, I'm just not as generous as You think :P

Rhod out, drunk as fuck, shout out to Grolsch beer, I had many too many
