Love that song !!!!!
Love that band !!!!!

That is a great song and video...and one of only a few songs I know by Equilibrium - need to check out more. And a related comment to Dan & Rhia who said elsewhere (I'm paraphrasing of course) that folk metal is simplistic and perhaps too "happy." Since Equilibrium is considered in the folk metal category, I would say that this song doesn't fit either adjective. Just sayin.'

Nicolas....I've been meaning to say this for awhile...we share *a lot* of the same musical tastes...
Are you like...um...my long-lost Colombian son?

Just kidding of course.

Fantastic band! But that's one of their weaker songs in my opinion, though that whole Sagas album is a masterpiece. Laura, here's a couple of links from each album (Note: New singer and drummer for Rekreatur and I can't do anything about the YouTube Newt Gingrich ads. Good thing you can skip them after a couple of seconds. That piece of shit doesn't deserve air time

)

Turis Fratyr:
Widars Hallen
Tote Heldensagen

Sagas:
Verrat
Die Weide und der Fluß

Rekreatur:
Die Affeninsel
Fahrtwind

Really? I think that's one of the best on that album. So much fun to play. Every song by them is pure gold though. I must see them live.

Not saying it's bad just nothing special for me. I would definitely love to see them live. Note to Andy: That would be a wet and giggly announcement for me. Get on it.

Very cool, and I note that before too

And check the links that mooyagi post

Man, must be in a rut. Rocking more Antimatter.

"Conspire" to "Leaving Eden" flow like perfection and Mick Moss is very on point. "Conspire" has to be my fave antimatter song.

Conspire - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_GknVUctRA
Leaving Eden - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8s5uBpG0mU

Love this verse too (though Mick pens tons of excellent and heavy lyrics):

The cost of innocence is the loss of innocence
Some may pass away, but some die screaming
When it came to my time, oh it took me by surprise
Was it my mistake, or am I born for giving in?

Listening to this excellent album. Very heavy stuff though more not very seasonal though not feeling the xmas spirit too heavy atm so it fits. I am happily racing to a true heaven upon the 70k tons!

That's a great album

It is , though I like Saviour more

"Saviour" is a awesome album and the one I discovered em' on. I was wondering where Duncan Patterson musical endeavors went after the awesome "Alternative 4" and found Antimatter. The songs are good on "Saviour" but some of the production on that album is a bit annoying to me. The drum machine was hard to take (Arg, I understand you gotta do what ya gotta do and I use them but am so happy he uses real drums now) "Angelic" and "Over your shoulder" being the stand outs. I am also glad Mick found his voice (though people tell me he sounds like Eddie Vedder when I play them tracks.)

:bangers:

on the taste mooyagi and Tuup. Too bad we can't agree on Turd Vikernes mooyagi , haha.

by **KDibildeaux** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 9:22 pm

Ah, I like Flowers a lot. Both versions. And Alternative 4 is awesome! my favorite Anathema album :deathhorns:

by **vikingbitch** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 10:14 pm

On a black metal kick right now, was listening to Enslaved this morning. Just started reading Lords of Chaos this weekend (FINALLY) and has put me in the mood for it :beerhorns:

Yea, Flowers is a very beautiful song. You know you might dig <metal mode off> sneaker pimp - "splinter" as there are a lot of songs that have somewhat of that vibe. Was the first album Chris Corner took vocal duties but man is that a dark album. I am sure you have a ton to jam to but scope it if you get time, might be rewarding:

fave tracks off it:
Splinter - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf45KMHeFeQ

Oh and his follow up to sneaker pimps is pretty good stuff too. IAMX

This Will Make You Love Again - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Dzi3roEjn4

<metal mode on?>

haha, nice "Alternative 4". I think last we spoke about anathema you diged "Judgement" the most. Soon it will be "Serenades" :beerwink:

by **biertroll** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 11:44 pm

Rob Taylor - All Hands On Deck :deathhorns:

Venom: Welcome to Hell (from Welcome to Hell - just bought this after the Venom announcement :headbanger:

)

and now second up :viking:

Turisas: Miklagard Overture (The Varangian Way)

hmmmm....is my iTunes trying to tell me that a Turisas announcement is forthcoming? :cool:

Nice! Liked 'em both, though not crazy about the vocals in Splinter. Splinter reminded me a bit of Portishead, whom I like. Love the piano n the IAMX song. Ahhhhh, piano.......... Thanks for the recommendations :cheers:

Hah, yeah, I hadn't gotten around to Atlernative 4 at that point. Damn, was I missing out! Serenades I have, though it hasn't grabbed me as much yet

Love where they take this song at the midway mark :beerwink:

Hoping this comes to pass as an announcement real soon like! :shred:

by **biertroll** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 8:26 pm

King Diamond - Abigail

It's a real shame I don't listen to him more, I love everything I've heard.

by **WizardBeast** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 8:46 pm

Testament - As the Seasons Grey.....pretty much the whole Ritual album at this point. a lot of testament fans don't like this album but by my assessment, they are nuts.

by **biertroll** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 9:16 pm

Tengwar - Dwarf Sings In The Dark Can't get over how awesome this is

Yes - love them - especially Love Drive from 1979 - every song is just wonderful and perfect in every way

....(would be curious to know how many times I've listened to it since 1979....first as an LP, a CD, and now on my iTunes - I'm sure it would be a shockingly high number! :lol:

)
Side one
1. "Loving You Sunday Morning" Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine, Herman Rarebell 5:36
2. "Another Piece of Meat" Schenker, Rarebell 3:30
3. "Always Somewhere" Schenker, Meine 4:56
4. "Coast to Coast" Schenker 4:42
Side two
1. "Can't Get Enough" Schenker, Meine 2:36
2. "Is There Anybody There?" Schenker, Meine, Herman Rarebell 3:58

My favorite is either Virgin Killer or Taken by Force. Both have such amazing songs.

I never liked "always somewhere" however i think "is there anybody there? " is a really unique and fantastic song. Alot of fans hate that song too!
