Songs on the radio I dig

Calvin Harris – Feel so close

The only reason I got to know the title is because 3FM has this ‘what was played’ on their website. I LUFFS THIS SONG. IET IES OF TEH AWESOME WHEN YOU’RE DRIVING IN THE NOWHERE DARKLAND WHERE I LIVE ON FULL VOLUME. WOOOOOOOOOO. I used to be a club queen before I switched to metal so don’t underestimate me in that respect. I think the entire reason I got into metal is because them ‘normal boring folk’ always had this notion I should be metal when – at that time – I was not. Some guys would even shun me because I just had the ‘metal face’. I can’t help that I look like a raven, xD. I’m one of those unintended gothics minna-san thinks should be auto-mutilating themselves. So sorry to disappoint, but if you would queue, I’ll put that raizor to good use. So that’s when I thought… ‘People suck’. Et voila, I found metal. They “sing”, “bark”, “squeel” about nothing else, xD.

Here’s another surprising fact: even though I knew ‘Nederrap’ (Rap from the Netherlands) existed, no song actually was entertaining except this one:

And I wuz like… I hate rap and hipsnot, and the first song I like is Nederrap. It’s by ‘Spookrijders’, which means …err… ‘A ghost driver’.

Korean Metal

This post appeared in omona, and I was like: KOREAN METAL?

:confused:

I thought I’d like Dark Mirror ov Tragedy the best since it’s the closest genre in there which I listen to. Guy turns out to be a screamer con-stant-ly. It’s somewhere between Behemoth and Borgir indeed. Even the band name reminded me of Behemoth (Zos Kia is the only album I like).

The biggest surprise was actually the power metal band, Rabihem. This is an At Vance cover. I’ve seen At Vance live in an opening program once. Think my friend has a cd and a shirt. Compliments, now that’s a voice. I think in certain areas he does even better than the original (a bit more over the top). ANO, it’s strange to see an Asian face produce that sound!

Here’s how I actually approve or disapprove of new metal bands:

1. I play each track 2-5 seconds. If everything starts the same, it’s out the door.
2. I listen to the track with the coolest intro, and see if the vocalist only screams or only grunts. Either of these two without actually singing in between then there is but one thing your savior: guitars that kickass it doesn’t need a vocalist.
3. Too much pitch to screams or a voice not heavy enough for grunting is ultimately going on my ‘bad list’ too.
4. If I see live on Youtube I usually give them some slack. lol. Recording is usually aweful, and the sound that heavy streaming video can’t ‘handle it’.

So which bands have good vocalist(s)? Soilwork, early Scar Symmetry, Fear Factory, Dagoba (though I have yet to listen to any other song than ‘The things within’), old Mercenary (Mikkel Sandager), and Evergrey. It’s easier to find good vocalists in Power Metal though: “men in tights”.
