Hollenthon

[repcak]

i know you guys know and like them!

they are going to release a new full-lenght album later this year... before christmas!!!

and the best thing: they are playing for the first time since years on 30.11.2007 in vienna... guess who is going to see them live :smoke:

[Cocaine]

I wonder how they'd handle all the orchestrations live.

Band is badass though.

i just read and interview today.

they (or better he) never played with an orchestra, they even never recorded their records with an orchestra!
they are doing everything with the computer, only the drums and guitars are authentic.


thats the reason why it is so difficult to play live. when they make a mistake at the beginning, the timing is off for the whole song... so they have to be very concentrated while playing. (its like playing playback to an orchestra)



i "work" (for free) for metalblaze.at and the admin will check out, if i can make an interview with hollenthon :) that would be great :D

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Wait it's even computer generated on their records?

[Cocaine]

It's definitely programmed on their albums but it sounds great nonetheless

[repcak]

yes, thats what he said in the interview.

he mentioned that he never want to go on tour with an orchestra, but it would be interesting to record an album with one. everything is programmed with a computer.

i only have "Domus Mundi", do you know if its still possible to buy their 2nd release from 2001?

[Cocaine]

I only have With Vilest of Worms to Dwell in mp3 form so i dont really know.

[repcak]

thats the one i would like to buy.

i will look at some online-stores and if i won't find it, i will download it ;)
is it as awesome as Domus Mundi?

[Forlorn Hope]

I've never heard of them, but as soon as I heard the word "orchestra" I was interested. Is there anywhere I could hear some of their music?

[Cocaine]

MySpace probably. It's good, really unique ****.

[GenuineImitation]

They seems pretty interesting. I may request some in the DU.
