I hope they’ll still make music that somewhat resembles the first two albums, even though there’s been changes in the band. So what makes me like this band from what they’ve shown so far? It’s creativity: not the endless grunting and screaming in an everlasting repetition of the same. It has the ability to surprise the listener around every corner without getting ‘lost’, so it’s still cohesive metal. Don’t believe me? Check out one of their older songs: World Domination. 1 minute to 1.45 minutes may sound average, but trust me and hang in there for the ride.

Edit: just found out they’re actually coming out with another album! <3 I thought they would quit after Mechanize for real. Looks like it's coming out in May. Can say what you will, they're still awesome.

I so want to see them live. “Der Graf” (aka… The Count) is of course what defines Unheilig with his warm voice. It’s funny how this band can appeal to people all ages. Older people from this region have a knack for german schlager music whether people my age and younger like it or not, but the style of Unheilig is surpassing the generation boundary. If you have a preference for “to the bone”, with a little gothic/metal mixed in, this is a band for you.

Be quick before the copyright hunters will remove it (intro):

Currently being played constantly on the German radio (single):

What I do not miss is the drummer telling me “I want to fuck you in your face”, by the way. XDD. I think he mixes up groupies with nerds.

Here’s a semi-ok live video. The bagpipes sound shriller on video than it was yesterday though.

There were about 40-50 people present at that concert and about halfway in we all got hold of someone elses shoulders and did like a train xD. At some point we were brawling and dancing and two girls whom I’ve never met in my life before I just simply grabbed and they tagged along. There’s just something about small metal concerts that shows a unity, equality and a ‘no (wo)man left behind’ type of thing that I really like. Besides that, you see a lot of interesting people of all ages. lol. There’s always that 50+ couple enjoying the show in the back of the room, the even and odd freak, people of all races, some tattoo’d up to their necks, some neatly dressed people, etc. I think the word I’m looking for is ‘acceptance’. You don’t even need to dress the uniform to join in. Hell, I once saw a guy in khaki pants and a bright pink, extremely gay looking sweater with the college frat boy vest tied around his neck mosh like there was no tomorrow. lol.

It was fun!

^^ enjoy your search.

Before your heart stands still…

^o^ I have no idea if they’re still active, but they should be. Start from Prime Specimen, go around Favorite Hateobject, War Incognito. There’s serious potential. It’s a band that’s in a stage that they would either make their top album next or fall back into invisible.

In any case, today I also cruised around some electro-pop/dance … I was turned off. If you have a pacemaker that’s why you choose that music I don’t know. If you can get over the metal vocals it just blasts everything.

BTW, entirely different genre, but I would like these guys to get off their ass and release something new too. I never listened to Mercenary’s new one, because I’m afraid to. Mikkel has found a new band though. *Waits for music*.

Someone made this on a severe hangover at 10am in the morning, still high on drugs. I’m convinced of this! It’s nerdy, pokes fun and absolutely ‘dry’. I feel like playing it every morning when I go back to work. lol.

Ziltoid’s preoccupation with coffee!
Using the planet smasher!
Indeed, what is up with these gay names for coffee? /tall_latte

[Ziltoid:] Commander…
[Commander:] Yes Captain Ziltoid!
[Ziltoid:] Have the humans delivered their ultimate cup of coffee?
[Commander:] I have it right here, sir.
[Ziltoid:] Yes…
[Ziltoid drinks the coffee]
[Ziltoid:] FETID! How dare they present this to me! FOUL! They hide their finest bean! Prepare the attack!

So here it is, Ziltoid’s glory (lyrics):

Zigeunerskat reminds me of a previous song… “die so laut wie hunde bellen”. I know for sure that piece of text appeared somewhere else; on a different song. Then, Zauberspruch No. VII which is similar to any version of Merseburger Zauberspruche… it doesn’t even compare to the quality.

Glorious Collision:

However, who exactly wrote this piece of text above the “Wrong” video on the Evergrey homepage?

“This is the video for our song Wrong. Once again Patric Ullaeus and the Revolver.se film-crew made 5 stupid guys from Sweden look like a million dollars, well maybe not like a million but for sure better than the 20-dollar hookers we normally look like. The song will give all dark, tough and depressed people a soundtrack and most certainly a legit reason to cry your hearts out. If crying is not you thing, see if you´re man enough to match that guitar-solo. Or – you can just enjoy the vid and the damn song!”‘

That sicko stole my sense of humour. Give it back! Maa~ even if it’s not usually your thing. Check Evergrey out. My mom even likes ‘em. That makes you a bloody pansy if you can’t stand it.

I’ve added these albums recently:

Can’t tell you which one is the best, I’m still listening. Mechina’s new one sounds promising though. Just enough usage of techy sounds + orchestra.

Next to that, the album I always thought was ‘too loud’ for me by Sybreed – namely their first – I’m now constantly listening to. Antares and The pulse of awakening are more accessible than Slave design. ReEvolution, Decoy, Synthetic Breed, Machine Gun Messiah, Take the red pill, Rusted. All of those A+ tracks and I never noticed until now.

Once you finish that list, that’s my blood and bones.
