Of course! :) Blind Guardian rule. Hansi seems to have a penchant for writing about cool authors. Tolkien, King, then Jordan and Martin on their 2010 album. The song from their 1990 album Tales from the Twilight World that bears the same name as the king novel is pretty cool as well:
My favorite SoM album is Floodland, though I also dig Vision Thing. I don't remember First and Last and Always that well and I've never checked out that Some Girls Wander compilation, will have to do so.
Well, I don't mind Skeleton Skeletron, it's such blatant Sisters of Mercy worship that's it may as well be the fourth Sisters of Mercy album, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's not as good as a lot of their other albums. A Deeper Kind of Slumber and Judas Christ just do nothing for...
I don't really like A Deeper Kind of Slumber either, but I do like Prey and Amanethes to some extent, though not as much as Clouds. Wildhoney is definitely cool too, especially "Do you Dream of Me?" But yeah, A Deeper Kind of Slumber and then Skeleton Skeletron and Judas Christ (can't remember...
Hm, yeah, definitely inaccessible, but certainly not bad. Pretty similar to 70s Sabbath, and that guitar solo is pretty rad. I'd say it has the potential to be a grower band for me. I'll see your Saint Vitus and raise you Briton Rites, a more recent band that still dooms like it's 1983.
(This...
Oh yes! I love me some traditional doom. Definitely dig Candlemass, I need to give Saint Vitus another listen at some point. Perhaps you can point me to one of their better and/or more accessible songs? :D I also dig Solitude Aeturnus who sound quite a bit like Candlemass, and I know several...
Here's another song, more in a doom metal song since Steerpike posted High on Fire, an Arthurian-inspired tune by The Gates of Slumber:
Edit: Should I use as spoiler since the album cover is NSFW? Or a mod is welcome to do so if that's how it works around here.
Great to see some metal love here! I'm a connoisseur of lots of different sorts of metal, often very obscure, but I figure I'll leave this here, one of my favorite songs and based off of Donaldson's Lord Foul's Bane:
(And yes of course Blood Fire Death is a classic.)
I've been going through some of Stephen King's stuff, having not read much by him before. Read The Tommyknockers in September and just finished The Shining a couple of days ago. Taking a break with some short stories (read some Lovecraft yesterday, I've been a big fan of his for a long time, but...
I think I'll be trying to do this this year, continuing the novel I've been working on for awhile. I dunno if I'll be able to put out 50k words, but it should help motivate me to get back into it. Looking forward to it! I just made a profile on the NaNoWriMo site under the same username.
Hello,
So I've had this high fantasy novel I've been writing on and off for awhile now, the idea and first chapter were something I came up with back in 2010, then last June or so I went back to it and wrote a lot more, bringing the current total to around 35k words over ten chapters. Last...
