^ Well, that wins the thread. Is there any point continuing? It's just brilliant.

Anyway, have some In Fear and Faith.

I know its a movie theme... But damn, so relaxing! Just something that caught my attention a few weeks back and somehow stayed with me.

My internet is really slow. I can only watch videos late at night when it gets better. But when I saw this post...

Time for some more of my favourite Metal bands.

With Nightwish and Sirenia on it I HAD to make Serenity load and listen to it.

AND OH MY GOD. Hahaha wow! A new great symphonic metal album for my collection. I now know what I will do when my dad gives me my monthly money ^^;. Thank you for posting this Suave_Spencer! I haven't gone "band hunting" in a while.

Serj Tankian is one of my favorite musicians of all time. I haven't listened to System of a Down yet, but his solo albums are great. From his voice, to the lyrics, to the instrumentation, I love him.

So when he released his classical symphony album Orca, I was shocked in a good way and I couldn't believe what my ears were listening to. Serj Tankian is a great artist, but I never imagined who would then do the other kind of music I love the most.

That album only has 4 songs. I hope he makes another classical symphony album someday. ^^

Try the rest of their albums too. For their latest they've added a female vocalist, whose name I forget, as well as Georg Neuhauser. I'll add a couple more bands to this post, but I can recommend a lot more if anyone is interested.
I've never really liked Serj Tankian, of SOAD for that matter, but I quite like the style on that song.

Lunatica

Delain (with Marco Hielta of Nightwish!)

And, just for fun, the Turisas cover of Rasputin by Boney M.

Call me a hipster, but TKO is too mainstream.

 

[Leanne]

Ah yes, Delain! The supergroup that happens to have many of my favorite musicians ^^.

Particularly this song with both Marco Hietala and Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation) O: :

That Rasputin cover is really fun ^^ hahaha. Turisas is not necessarily a favorite band of mine, but Rasputin is very fun to listen to. I would dance to it if I could.

I have also listened to a few Lunatica songs. They are really good but I can't seem to put my hands on any of their CDs.

My family got me this beautiful gift. It is a compilation CD of Metal Covers of Ghibli Movies. All of them give me the chicken skin because they are really good. This one's probably one of my favorite covers because I love Arrietty ^^

 

[cannedcommunism]

This used to be my favorite band. It brings back so many memories of long car rides to the beach for summer vacation. Here are 2 of my favorite songs by them.
