Eld is fantastic. It is so sombre in parts, you can feel it deep within your guts. I love the intro to Blodhemn (the album), it sounds like a misty battlefield where humans are about to encounter an alien horde. Incredible.

For people who think we're crazy listening to extreme music, and, can't see the forest for the trees (get past the vocals

), there's guys on YouTube who are converting black/Viking metal into orchestral pieces using some nifty software, and, far out, it sounds amazing. Classical composers would be proud. The two genres have so much to do with each other.

wow, in IIS, who wouldve thunk it

. I partake in a bit of Nightwish (Finnish operatic metal) and Dreamtheater myself. Those Scandavian dudes sure know how to produce blood stiring , inspirational music. Totally out of left feild, well worth a listen.

Fred, go through the thread; I've posted a bunch of nuggets (at least to me!).

And, yes, the Scandinavians make incredibly powerful, emotional and beautiful music. Mustn't be much else to do in the ice and snow and cold.

Seen Dream Theater twice, and, my brother's a big fan of Nightwish. I don't find them heavy enough, but, they're fun to listen to. Greg Bradley's also a fan of Nightwish.

Thanks H, yes, I'll be sampling them, hardly mainstream, hard to find on my own.

Well, then theres Avenged Sevenfold, thats not bad and Mudvane. I saw Mudvane live at Big Day Out in a concrete bunker. WHAT a show that was. A sea of writhing crashing bodies (the audience) in front of a frantic, on the edge of chaos Mudvane playing like it was the last day on earth. Ear splitting, hyper energetic mayhem. An utterly out of the world life changing experience. Its on the bucket list. You need to experience entertainment right on the edge of insanity, see Mudvane live ;-).

It's been a Bjork kind of day for me. Pretty good, got lots done.

With the Sugarcubes in 1988 and their first big single "Birthday"

Happens like that though.

If I feel like I have to get to know it i just put it on repeat while I'm working around the house. If I want to shoot the cd player after 2 hours then I'm probably never going to like it.

Although I remember doing this with Suzanne Vegas first album when it came out and it was still playing 7hours later. Love that album still but never managed to get comfortable with any of her other ones.??

Flash .. !!

Trevor you are right. Not all 'music' is worth the time. There is too much manufactured garbage that passes itself off as music out there that isn't worth a first hearing and sometimes stuff does grow on me. My favourite recording is Mike Nock 'In Out and Around' 1978, free jazz as it was called and took several listenings to start to like it....35 years later sounds as good as ever. That's what I'm wondering with the Scandanavian Metal, is there more in there? Might not be my cup of tea but curious all the same.

Matt.....So much music...so little time!

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #**469** 21-09-2012, 11:26 PM

Right now I'm listening to some quite ordinary live music from the pub across the back paddock from my place.

My middle son Jack actually opened the back door just before and started howling like a dog.
They've played Stand by your Man, Summer Loving, that Whitney Housten song "I'll always love you"
The youngest son , his parting words to me as he went to bed "Make them stop mum". LOLOLOL

Caterwauling is one description for what I just listened to. my ears are starting to bleed.

One entire song, and not one note on key.

...and again, introducing the very little known Trollband

Anything from Shadow of a Mountain is worthwhile.

Don't mind all the speedy melodic stuff. Reminds me a bit of Helloween and the likes. I like a little more rythm and changes of Tempo. Exodus has always been a favorite of mine since their first LP Bonded by Blood.

Testament was pretty cool too. Metallica, Megadeth, Flotsam & Jetsam, Judas Priest, of course Slayer to name a few. Sepultura before Soulfly, All 80s stuff I know...

trek1701 (Mark) · #**472** 27-09-2012, 07:05 PM

The Hawthorn Football Club song!

AstralTraveller (David) · #**473** 05-10-2012, 04:36 PM

Love Me Do

Soon to be followed by many more Beatles. I don't remember the early stuff coming out but I do remember when Sgt Pepper came out - just (the boy 2 door up had it).

kustard (Simon) · #**474** 05-10-2012, 06:31 PM

I've just received the latest albums by "Something For Kate" and "Beth Orton"

Any Muse fans here want to join me in complaining about how rubbish they have become?

Octane (Humayun) · #**476** 05-10-2012, 07:17 PM

lol @ Muse comment, JB. Kind of agree...

JB80 (Jarrod) · #**477** 05-10-2012, 07:26 PM

It's such a shame really, I used to really enjoy their music now I'm almost embarrassed to bring them up.
Apart from a couple of decent tracks this new alum is horrific.

Octane (Humayun) · #**478** 05-10-2012, 07:58 PM

Look what's happened to Opeth...

taminga16 (Greg) · #**479** 05-10-2012, 07:58 PM

Supertramp. "We had the best of times".
Jethro Tull. "Songs from the wood".

I'm getting old.
Greg.
