04.23.12 | Abigail tells the story about a young couple, Miriam Natias and Jonathan La'Fey, who move into an old mansion that La'Fey inherited. It takes place in the summer of 1845. At their arrival they are warned by seven horsemen not to move into the house because if they do "18 will become 9." They do not heed the warning and proceed to move into the mansion. During their first night, Jonathan meets with Count La'Fey, the Family Ghost, who is a deceased relative. The ghost shows him a casket in which a corpse of a stillborn child, Abigail, rests. The ghost informs him that Miriam is carrying the spirit of Abigail and that the child will soon be reborn. He asks Jonathan to kill his wife to prevent the rebirth. In the meantime, the story unfolds of what happened to the Count and his wife; she gave birth to Abigail on 7 July 1777. The Count had thrown her down the stairs, causing her neck to break as well as the death of Abigail, who was an illegitimate daughter. The next day, Miriam is clearly pregnant and the fetus develops quickly. Jonathan contemplates throwing her down the stairs, encouraged seemingly by his wife. However, Miriam throws him down the stairs and gives birth to Abigail. But Miriam does not survive the birth, and Abigail is left alone. At that moment the seven horsemen arrive again, planning to destroy Abigail once more. |

04.23.12 | Evergrey writes good concept albums... well, they did. In Search Of Truth is a good one. It's a prog metal album about a man who gets abducted by aliens. It's based on a book called Communion, I think... |

04.23.12 | This rec will get flamed hard, but you would like The Plot In You - First Born if you haven't heard it already. Pretty generic stuff but top of the line generic if that makes any sense at all. |

04.23.12 | [i]Titus Andronicus- The Monitor[/i]
this, and since he failed to tell the story, here it is:
it's like all about the civil war and shit and boom after that slavery was kaput but was it really cause white people still be hating and even though all this effort was made there has been recession of the progress and boom there's the album and it's the same thing and it's all worth nothing and patrick stickles is at hois existential best and just when you thought it couldnt get any better or any more bitter and hopeless it culminates in the most beautiful sixteen times repeated IT'S STILL US AGAINST THEM and then your head fucking explodes and you don't even get to hear the most beautiful 14 minyte track in the world aka The Battle of Hampton Rds |
