[QUOTE=Kaden]Question: is In Mist She Was Standing a soft song?[/QUOTE]

Most of their songs start off heavy..or vice versa..and since they are quite long..they have lots of moments of beauty and aggression..its like a trip :thumb: ..u dont kno what direction the song will go in next

[QUOTE=Flynn]Hell yeah! I can't wait. He is writing at the moment, New Album 1st Quarter 2005. I wonder what it's going to sound like? It's going to be good either way. Have you ever heard of the band [B]Fragments of Unbecoming[/B]? I bought the CD entitled [I]Skywards: A Sylphe's Ascension [/I] a couple weeks ago and it ****ing owns!

You are my new MX buddy. You're the first person who's mentioned that band. They fu[i][i][/i][/i]cking own. Good work. :thumb:

I have mentioned fragments of unbecoming before, why can't i be your mx buddy :( hahahaha, it is a good cd though

You can be my MX buddy too. They are an amazing band.

:) I can't remember how the hell I found them, I was looking at some Trivium and something else, Borknagar I think, and that CD came up on Amazon. I listened to 30 seconds of Seventh Sunray.... and went out and bought it.

Great CD! It will never get old....btw Where the hell can I get the Lyrics to it? I have been trying for WEEKS!!!!!!

lyrics: [url]www.darklyrics.com[/url] should have it

Trivium, another amazing band! :D You score another point. Good job. Those two bands are really underrated.

I tried that. Nope. I read that the Lyrics are very personal to the Lead Singer. I think he's from Venereal Disease.

sounds good..gonna check them out :thumb:

Well i guess your only other option is to listen really carefully to the songs and try and figure it out haha

Yes great CD, I can't believe the Lead singer is 16!!!!! wow I bet I can stump you. This CD I am about to mention is really good. No one i have talked to even knows who they are. They are called [I]Scar Culture [/I] the CD is entitled [I]Inscribe[/I]. I love every song on that CD. Great underground band. Worth every penney :cool:






[I]I lament this heritage
Cannot bid farewell
The pale face...you went as far as you could
And from that moment
I witnessed your beauty, fealt your death
Mine is yours, mine is yours
In the wake of dawn
The mist of morning linger before it leaves

Invisible eyes, red reflection
It is you
Smiling in the midst of the moor[/I]

:eek: I didn't know their singer was 16.

Check out a band called Fear My Thoughts, if you can. They are sort of like Trivium and FOU.

My friend was supposed to try out for vocals for scar culture about a year ago, it never ended up working out, but i did see them at the NJ metal and hardcore fest last november, good stuff :thumb:

Yeah he's 16. I saw it on the artist facts on Music Choice channel 816. They are Influenced by Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer :thumb:


You never heard of Scar Culture?






[I]Scattered to the four winds we are
Scattered ... we are!!!![/I]

Hell yes. I love that entire CD ;)

I would like to also mention that the Singer/guitarist of trivium's other band, Capharnaum, is much better than Trivium, in my opinion

We are working on some stuff now, need to find a drummer and prolly another lead singer, It's hard to find a good singer. I like the death growl and Singing. And both simult. We are called [B]Scarred and Scared[/B]. I am tempted to move to Sweden to get things going there lol. We have 14 songs so far. Only about 10 will fit on a CD though :upset:

start small, start with like 4-6 song demos. If you can be short and to the point with what you have when you send the demo to record labels they will be more interested in listening to it. You have to realize that any label is getting hundreds of demos a week probably, they aren't going to have the time to sit down and listen to a full 74 minute cd. They will probably put on the first song (if they even put the cd on) and decide within 3 minutes whether to keep listening or whether to stop. its like the old acronym KISS: keep it simple stupid. After being in quite a few bands, the way to go is to stick to 4-6 songs maximum on a demo.

Trust me, we got signed by Wildcat Productions here in town...it was a fluke. We have 14 songs already ready to go. Needs polished though. It's hard to get my other guitarist to play what I wrote, I have the perfect concept of this LP and need their support.

Best band ever, and possibly the best band there ever will be IMO. If only I could listen to them for the first time again.

I know. I listened to Black Rose Immortal like 278 times on my Media PLayer. I can play pretty much all of the rythm parts, still working on solo. The part that confuses me is the Acoustic part before "[I]Sunbirds leave their dark recesses, Shadows glid the archways[/I]" It's impossible to play and get the exact same sound. Some parts are blurry, I think it's 3 different Tracks.
That makes the song.








[I]Lullaby of the crescent moon, took you
Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face.

Granted you a hollow stare.
Another soul within the divine herd.[/I]

[COLOR=Red][B]OPETH[/B] - BLACK ROSE IMMORTAL[/COLOR]


In the name of desperation
I call your name
A lamentation I sigh
Again and again

Spiritual eclipse
The gateways are closed for me to seek

In The The night...A veil of stars, watching
My shadow is born from light
The light of the eye, in darkness


Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper

I wear a naked soul
A black face in the streaming water

It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust


Eyes attach to your mute portrait
We spoke only through thoughts
Together we gazed, awaited
Hours brought thirst and the rising sun

Sunbirds leave their dark recesses
Shadows glid the archways

Do not turn your face towards me
Confronting me with my lonliness
You are in a forest unknown
The secret orchard
And your voice is vast and achromatic
(Whisper) But still so precious


Lullaby of the crescent moon, took you
Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face.

Granted you a hollow stare.
Another soul within the divine herd.

I have kept it
The amaranth symbol
Hiddin inside the golden shrine
Until we rejoice in the mea0.
dow
Of the end
When we both walk the shadow
It will set ablaze and vanish...
...Black rose immortal

It is getting dark again
Dusk shuffle across the fields
The evening trees moan as if they knew
At night I always dream of you...

Yeah must take ages to write that lol..Mikael is def talented

He mentions Melinda in 3 songs on Still Life...I am curious who she is and what the concept of that LP was to her.

[I]The Moor [/I] ..."Melinda is the reason why I've come."
[I]Serenity Painted Death [/I] ..."Melinda reflected in shafts..."
[I]Face of Melinda[/I] ...Pretty explanitory lol...

As far as i know Still Life isn't actually based off of anything in particular, it's just a story that Mikael made up and created a whole concept album about. Melinda could just be someone hes friends with and was like "yeah sure i'll use your name" Also, Melinda is a very soft name, so it's very easy to place into a song. It does not have one single hard letter in it. When creating songs about people, places, etc.. it can sometimes be tough using names with hard letters in it, especially if there are going to be more mellow parts on the album.

On the Ultimate Metal Forums I heard it was Mikael's friends girlfriend. I don't know.

The whole Still Life CD is about Melinda. The only song that I've actually sat down and analyzed is Godhead's Lament. It's basically about exhuming a body in a cemetary, it's Melinda's body if I remember correctly.

Niiiiice :thumb: I hear there are going to be 9 Tracks on the next Opeth Album. You hear anything about that?

Where'd you hear that?

Somewhere on the [COLOR=Pink][B]Ultimate Metal Forums [/B] [/COLOR] under Opeth of course. It was last week sometime. I bet each track is over 10 minutes. I hope lol :wave:
