Evergrey is one of the very few progressive metal bands that sounds different from Dream Theater. In my view, Evergrey is one of the most under-rated band today because it deserves much more than it has. After Opeth and Dream Theater, this band has made an entry to my list of top 3 Progressive Metal bands. Here is my list of top 10 Evergrey songs:

The Dark I Walk You Through
Mark Of the Triangle
A Touch of Blessing

Biography

JINDABAAD!!!! Ain't about rebellion, frustrations, creative disillusions or democracy. The difference that bias the good and the bad declares the sound. Art has nothing to do with it, JINDABAAD!!! is art.

JINDABAAD!!! is a kathmandu based ART-Rock group as they like to call it.Discovering what they cant do and wont be allowed to do has resulted in influencing the sound of the band lately. Pop ,rock n roll, punk, futuristic heart thumping club, jazz, progressive,psychedelic,imaginative or non imaginative , everybody feeds on that as long as it can be simplified to the listening ear and to the mind. The band believes in everything .Simple, hard,raging to cold.The band believes in all that jazz and still fantasizes about the low tuned 8-stringed teethwreenching Hi-gain dream.Talking about an industry standard where music has always been used, rather than listened to, Jindabaad is cohesive towards the Independent Scene in NEPAL. Jindabaad are writing their own music as well as producing their own sound spectrum.

Darkly Darkly, Venus Aversa : New Cradle Of Filth Album

2010-10-28T08:11:00.000-07:00

"Forgive Me Father (I Have Sinned)", the new video from British extreme metallers CRADLE OF FILTH, can viewed below. The clip was directed by Dani Jacobs, who previously worked with CRADLE OF FILTH on the "Nymphetamine" video as well clips from PHIL COLLINS, THE CORRS and MOBY, among others.

"Forgive Me Father (I Have Sinned)" comes off CRADLE OF FILTH's ninth studio album, "Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa", which is scheduled for release on November 1 through Peaceville Records on the band's own AbraCadaver imprint (November 9 in North America via Nuclear Blast Records).

"Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa" is, in the words of CRADLE's infamous frontman Dani Filth, "without doubt the fastest and most brutal album we've created to date. As an acquaintance of the band so aptly noted, this is like 'IRON MAIDEN on crack in a graveyard of angels!' This album is CRADLE at our most sinister and darkened fairytale," continues Dani. "A gothic horror themed slay-ride of fervour and perversion; yet amidst the orchestral melodrama and lush, cinematic production, there sits stalwart a ravening beast of furious riffing, flesh ripping vocals and monstrous, unstoppable percussion."

CRADLE OF FILTH — consisting of Dani Filth on vocals, Paul Allender and James McIlroy on guitar, David Pybus on bass, Martin Skaroupka on drums and Ashley Ellyllon on keyboards — recorded the follow-up to 2008's "Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder" at Monkey Puzzle studios near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. The bandmembers remain stalwarts to the satanic horror ethos by again composing a fully blown concept album, this time based on Adam's first wife, the lascivious Demoness Lilith; throwing Medieval nuns, Knights Templars, Greek mythology and lashings of sex, occult lore and violent bloodshed into the smelting pot, to create a darkly erotic nightmare set to their unique scope of supreme vampyric metal. And with an as-near-as-dammit release date of All Hallow's Eve 2010, CRADLE OF FILTH are snarling at the leash to get out to all of their fans across the world. "We can't wait to play this shit live," admits Dani.

For this release, the band wanted mastery of their own destiny, choosing to release the album on their very own AbraCadaver label in conjunction with Peaceville Records, home to such illicit luminaries as DARKTHRONE, KATATONIA, MY DYING BRIDE, BLOODBATH and GALLHAMMER, among many others. Vocalist Dani Filth has described the move as being "a choice to move away from the artistic restrictions/mindless inhibitions imposed by dwelling on a major label" and cites the current financial clime as "the perfect opportunity to start doing things our own way again, with the added benefit of being a far bigger fish in a proverbial pool, surrounded by people who have been handpicked to get the job best done. And more importantly... who still are hungry for the taste of music."

To Live is to Die: Metallica

When a Man Lies He Murders
Some Part of the World
These Are the Pale Deaths Which
Men Miscall Their Lives
All this I Cannot Bear
to Witness Any Longer
Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation
Take Me Home

Dead Boy's Poem: Nightwish

"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it

Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears

For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength.

Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality

Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew

The sweet piano writing down my life"

"Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone

Show me love, hold the lorn

So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me

I`m sorry

Time will tell (this bitter farewell)

I live no more to shame nor me nor you

Imagine: John Lennon

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

The Evil that Men Do: Iron Maiden

Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade

Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with

The slaughter of innocence

But I will pray for her

I will call her name out loud

I would bleed for her

If only I could see her now

Living on a razors edge

Balancing on a ledge

Living on a razors edge

Beauty Slept in Sodom: Cradle of Filth

Death, spirit me away
My anguished soul doth strain
On taut and twisted reins
Yet, insatiate I still remain
Like a proud, unfalled star
That dares thee from afar
To calm my thund'rous heart
Else, rend it's knots apart
So I may never sing

Of jewelled skies o'er my strings
And love, a wanton thing
Can plunge on burnt, black wings
To hang amid the thorns
In scarlet, like velvet worn
About the clouded moon
Who wanes in solitude....

I am alone
Thirsting for the dark
That lurks beneath marbled stone
What black witchcraft
Shalt prise thee from thy dreams
And what perverse world-strategy
Will wend it's way with thee from sleep?

Saheed by X-mantra: Democracy Day Special

2010-02-19T06:18:00.000-08:00

The English translation for the Nepali word "Saheed" is "Martyrs". Every year, the 7th of Falgun is celebrated as the democracy day in Nepal. The 60th National Democracy Day is being observed today throughout the nation with various programmes. I would like to present this song from the album "Crying for piece" by X-mantra as a tribute to the martyrs of this country on this day. The picture above shows 4 martyrs of Nepal: Gangalal Shrestha, Sukraraj Sastri, Dharmabhakta Mathema and Dasrath Cahnd.

X-mantra's Short Band Biography:
Think of the loyals of metal music in Nepal and you’ll think of young boys and some adult men banging their heads with metal heavyweights like Megadeth and Metallica. And think about the first metal band of Nepal and you’ll surely think about the one and only X- MANTRA. They have already gained a solid cult following in the valley and their music and their influences have also made quite an impact on other major cities of Nepal.
Their first album made quite good impact on the Nepali metal scene. Now with so much to look forward to and new metallers emerging from the call of the metal pioneers, Nepali music (metal, in fact) can start anew itself.
X-MANTRA comprises of Rojesh Shrestha on vocals, Sandeep Tuladhar on lead guitars,Ritesh Shrestha on the bass guitar, and Anuj Shakya on the drums.

A Dreaming Beauty: Graveworm

2010-02-19T05:46:00.000-08:00

The video posted above is not an official video for this song: "A Dreaming Beauty" by Symphonic Black Metal band from Italy: "Graveworm". This is the same band which made an excellent cover of "Fear of the Dark" by Ironmaiden but most of them misunderstand it as Cradle of Filth's. The song starts out with violins and bagpipes. T vocalist apparently has quite a good range : within a few seconds of his opening death grunts, he lets out a flawless black metal scream as good as any other. The song has reasonably frequent changes in tempo, ranging from mid-pace to fast, and features more excellent use of strings where needed while the synths and bagpipes keep the song moving. The beautiful haunting piece of music is supported by excellent lyrics.

Lyrics:

Across the open fields, on burial ground

Beside the ancient lake, through painful screams

When pride of darkness rise, upon the sky

We are marching, side by side

A darkness feeling our pride

The moonchild crying in the sky

Screaming echos in the air

Feel the burning flame inside

A kiss of death I will receive

For invoking melodies

Evil spheres enclose my soul

Awaiting (a) mournful symphony

Shadows are grasping - devouring misery

Shining of demons - destroying my faith

From the darkest abyss

Where the laughter pierce the air

They arrive with thunderstorms form the sky

Bloodred melodies

When the silence crushed by dead

As they riding through my soul and my fear

Lying in the shadows

In the place where roses die

Dreaming beauty waiting for her bloodred kiss of death

As the angels singing echos in the torpid sphere of dark

Awaiting in the shadows

Wolves running by my side

Damnation reach the beauty

Wept upon the waveless lake

A velvet painting appearing

On the bloodred moonlight sky

Shadows are grasping - devouring misery

Shining of demons - destroying my faith

Through the spheres of pain

Spirits running to the place

As they hearing your screaming pain

Serenades in red

Darkness falls upon thy veil

As they (are) whispering my name in the air

Lying in the shadows

In the place where roses die

Dreaming beauty waiting for her bloodred kiss of death

As the angels singing echos in the torpid sphere of night

Progenies of the Great Apocalypse: Dimmu Borgir

2010-02-18T20:47:00.000-08:00

"Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" is a song by the Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir. It served as their debut single on the album "Death Cult Armageddon". The song features guest vocals by "Immortal" frontman Abbath. Parts of this song and another song ("Eradication Instincts Defined") were used for Hellboy and Stardust trailers and was the theme song to the 2004 MTV series "Battle for Ozzfest". It is also included in the soundtrack of the game "Brütal Legend".
The music video features extravagant computer-generated effects to correspond with the song's intensity and prestige. The televised version is edited down from 5:25 to 3:35 and censors the female nudity. It aired frequently on Headbangers Ball and Uranium in the months following its debut. The gothic designed keyboard featured on the music video is also eye catching.

This song refers to a war between those with religious restiction and those without; namely, Satanists against the rest. Anyone who has read the works of Anton LaVey can see this, especially in these lyrics:

"We, who not deny the animal of our nature
We, who yearn to preserve our liberation
We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire
We, who aspire to the truth and pursue it's strength"

Lyrics:

The battle raged on and on

Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man

Consistently, without the eyes to see

By those who rebel in sewer equally

We, the prosperity of the future seal

Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind

Born to capture the essence of

The trails of our kind

Zero tolerance must be issued forth

Behind the enemy's line

So it shall be written

And so it shall be done(x2)

The battle raged on and on

Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man

Consistently, without the eyes to see

By those who revel in sewer equally

We, the prosperity of the future seal

Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind

Born to capture the essence of

The traits of our kind

Discover and conceive the secret wealth

And pass it unto your breed

Becoming your own congregation

Oh, measure the serenity of it's invigoration

We, who not deny the animal of our nature

We, who yearn to preserve our liberation

We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire

We, who aspire to the truth and pursue it's strength

Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare

Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess

Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might

Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours

Consider the God we could be without the grace

Once and for all

Diminish the sub principle and leave its toxic trace

Once and for all

Quotes from Kurt Cobain

2010-02-15T05:00:00.000-08:00

"It is better to burn out than to fade away"
I always remember this quote from the suicide note of Kurt Cobain. When Kurt was 9, he wrote poem for the first time in his wall:

"I hate mum,
I hate dad,
Dad hates mum,
Mum hates dad,
It just wants to make u feel so sad."

Some more quotes from Kurt Cobain/ Nirvana are listed below:

"Holding Frances in my arms is the best drug in the world."

"I'm here to impeach a president and kill a soap opera star"

"Zits are beauty marks"

"You know what I hate about rock? I hate tie-dyed tee shirts. I wouldn't wear a tie-dyed tee shirt unless it was dyed with the urine of Phil Collins and the blood of Jerry Garcia."

"At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the fuck alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records."

“My songs have always had frustrating themes - relationships I've had"

"There is nothing I like more than pure underground music"

"I don't want my daughter to grow up and someday be hassled by kids at school... I don't want people telling her that her parents were junkies"

"Wearing a dress shows I can be as feminine as I want. I'm a heterosexual... big deal, but if I was a homosexual, it wouldn't matter, either."

Kurt at a concert "If you guys throw one more shoe or one more coin, I'm just going to leave my guitar next to my amp and there's going to be massive feed back for an hour."

"All my life, I never believed most things I read in history books and a lot of things I learned in school. But now I've found I don't have the right to make a judgment on someone based on something I've read. I don't have the right to judge anything. That's the lesson I've learned"

"God is Gay."

"A big "fuck you" to those of you who have the audacity to claim that I'm so naive and stupid that I would allow myself to be taken advantage of and manipulated."

"I know that most of you out there like us, understand what we're trying to say, but as for the rest of you, I FUCKING HATE YOU!! "

Grunge, isn't that some gross shade of greenish orange?"

"Music is first, lyrics are secondary."

"My name is Kurt and I sing and play the guitar and I'm a walking, talking bacterial infection."

"We're just a bar band, that's all we are."

"We're so trendy we can't even escape ourselves."

Interviewer asks Dave: "So why did you go to school anyway?" Dave's reply: "For lunch!"

"If your a sexist, racist, homophobe or basically an arsehole don't buy this CD, I don't care if you like me, I hate you!"

"Punk rock should mean freedom, playing whatever you want, As sloppy as you want as long as it's good and it has passion"

"I'll write a couple of sincere lines then kind of slag them off" - Kurt describing how he writes Nirvana's songs

"People ask me what's like to hear our song on the radio. I don't know, I don't listen to the radio"

"Anti, let me repeat that, Anti-rape song"

"VANDALISM: Beautiful as a rock in a cop's face."

We Will Rise: Arch Enemy

2010-02-15T04:45:00.000-08:00

When I heard this song for the first time (i.e. hearing arch enemy for the first time), I didn't have a bit of clue that the band had female vocalist. Either Angela Gossow is really skilled in growling or I have ear problems. This song from the album "Anthems of Rebellion" is a kind of rebellion song. The lyrics of this song is awesome (the lines on the lyrics are very strong) but by looking at it I think that the interpretation of the lines will vary a lot from people to people depending upon their perception. In my and most of the metal head's opinion, this song is about metal heads. It clearly tells you to keep on moving, keep on rising regardless of what people speak.

Strong vocals, good lyrics, heavy guitar riffs and lightning fast drum beats stands this song out from the rest of metal songs. Its probably the best song from Arch Enemy.

Lyrics:

Tear down the walls

Wake up the world

Ignorance is not... Bliss

So fed up with the Second best

Our time, Is here and now

I am the enemy

I am the antidote

Watch me closely

I Will Stand up... NOW!

We Will Rise

Above (x2)

Stereotype fools

Playing the game

Nothing Unique

They all look the same

In this Sea of Mediocrity

I can be anything

Anything I want to be

I am the enemy

I am the antidote

Watch me closely

I will stand up... NOW!

We Will Rise

Above

We Will Rise

I am the Enemy

(I am the Enemy)

I am the Antidote

(I am the Antidote)

We Will Rise

Above

We Will Rise

Rise Above

We Will Rise

My List of Top 10 Metal Bands Of All Time

2010-02-13T19:35:00.000-08:00

Surprisingly, this list of my favorite (best) top 10 metal bands of all time has gone through a lot of change in a year. In my view "Opeth" is one of the best metal band in the metal history up till today but I had never listened to their song a year back. So from nowhere, they popped into the first place.

1. Opeth

2. Metallica

3. Iron Maiden

4. Megadeth

5. Pantera

6. Black Sabbath

7. Cradle of Filth

8. Dream Theater

9. Nighwish

10. Judas Priest

A Tout le Monde: Megadeth (Its Not About Suicide)

2010-02-13T18:58:00.000-08:00

MTV banned the video because they thought it promoted suicide. They did show it after some special comments were added, explaining how many kids commit suicide every year in the US. This message appeared at the end of the video: "Suicide is not an answer. Get help." The woman and child in the video are Mustaine's wife Pam and son, Justis. This song is often misinterpreted about suicide as the lyrics appears as a suicide note. But according to Dave Mustaine (vocalist and lyricist) : 'A Tout Le Monde' is based on a dream I had, where my mother came back from heaven to say 'I love you.' It's about me talking to her again.' The chorus of the song is written in French which means : "To all the world. To all my friends. I love you. I must leave."

This song is not about suicide but the words in the song are the words that people utter in their deathbed. Dave Mustaine clearly states "It's not a suicide song. What it is, it's, you, it's when people have a loved one that dies and they end on a bad note, you know, they wish that they could say something to them. So this is an opportunity for the deceased to say something before they go. And it was my impression of what I would like to say to people, if I had say, 3 seconds to do so in life before I died I'd say to the entire world, to all my friends, I love you all, and now I must go. These are the last words I'll ever speak, and they'll set me free. I don't need to say I'm sorry, I don't have to say I'm going to miss you, or I'll wait for ya. You know, I'll just say I loved you all, good, bad and different, I loved you all."
This must be one of the finest song of Megadeth aces on all part of music including vocals. The soft acoustic intro, heavy riffs and melodic solos of Mustaine and Marty Friedman perfectly fits the theme of lyrics.

Lyrics:

Don't remember where I was

I realized life was a game

The more seriously I took things

The harder the rules became

I had no idea what it'd cost

My life passed before my eyes

I found out how little I accomplished

All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends

I'd love to stay with you all

smile when you think of me

My body's gone that's all

A tout le monde (To all the world)

A tout mes amis (To all my friends)

Je vous aime (I love you)

Je dois partir (I must leave)

These are the last words

I'll ever speak

And they'll set me free

If my heart was still alive

I know it would surely break

And my memories left with you

There's nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing

What it leaves behind is hard

You know the sleeping feel no more pain

And the living all are scarred

A tout le monde (To all the world)

A tout mes amis (To all my friends)

Je vous aime (I love you)

Je dois partir (I must leave)

These are the last words

I'll ever speak

And they'll set me free

So as you read this know my friends

I'd love to stay with you all

Please smile, smile when you think about me

My body's gone that's all

A tout le monde (To all the world)

A tout mes amis (To all my friends)

Je vous aime (I love you)

Je dois partir (I must leave)

These are the last words

I'll ever speak

And they'll set me free

Saffron's Curse: Cradle Of Filth

2010-02-13T18:38:00.000-08:00

When I look back at these masterpieces from Cradle of Filth, I clearly see how their music have degraded. This is a perfect black metal song showing Dani's skill of various vocal ranges, complicated keyboard riffs and heavy guitars. Like always the lyrics is dark and deep with use of gothic and ancient words. This is what I found on the web about the meaning of this whole song:

The narrator is satan and he's talking about how he heard her crying for help from god and the colder savior did'nt answer her. She tries to kill herself. He loves her beauty and mind and becomes determined to have her as his own so he stops her. She goes with him because she believes god does not care.
She sins and severs heaven by accepting the devil's offer of power so that she has that second silhouette of the devil with her. Then it talks of how she indulges in all the sins and takes pleasure in them. She makes her suffering that of others. But still she knows it is wrong and thus is in a white-stained chamber bound( the fact that she feels guilty in the eyes of god). The devil fixes that and takes away her regret. She becomes more demon than human in spirit. Her power is so great now that she cannot hide it from others.-She's pricked as a witch. The dark/ demons all love her because with her innocent will she could hold sway over all nature that god created.-Remember she had cried to god for help and only the devil came. Her outcries ignored put the blame on god and they are weak against her pain and vengeance she feels. Heaven feels it. It then says the scars(her pain) will last until a certain time. The last war with heaven. Her life is taken by god then to end her pain and the devil curses Jesus bcuz by him her sins would be forgiven. He wanted her back and swore he would get her. She rose herself for her want of revenge on god/ god could not claim her soul which truly had become devoted to the devil. She became a complete demon. At the end it talks of her trying to gain power enough to reach heaven to confront god and the devil speaks of how he dreamed of being god and now forever regrets it bcuz of his punishment. So he works to give her her wish and him his. When it comes time to kill her and all the others Jesus weeps at the sight of her on her knees wishing she could change what has happened. But still she is damned.

Lyrics:

Through arcades where shimmering snowfall

Lay in state with the sad and damned

A rent lament barely flung above a whisper

Drew Me like a ghost to the haunts of Man

I Found Her tempting fate between Her wrist and razor

A kindred spirit in a graveyard

Beneath the stature of a colder saviour

Mist hung like thieves wreathed in scant arabesques

And through the chill earth it bedwed Her drawling breast

Like a come dream true under etched glass spent

Making love to the beautiful dead

She has sinned and severed Heaven

And in it's vulgar sight

Two figures writhe, but one silhouette

Extends it's fingers to the light

"Gothic towers tottered on my heels

As I fled asylum grounds

Committing hard crimes to soft cells

Where now another's screams resound"

From the gaspings in Her passing

Six feet under or beneath frayed gown

When Her hands pointed to midnight

In a white stained chamber bound

I Swept Her from the abyss of another dementia

Freeing Her soul from the fetters of fate

To take the reins of pleasure

Now nightwane mirrors freeze in seizure

At the glimpse of charmed pins in Her thighs

Ballrooms filled with black cats scratch

Out of spite and playful eyes

Pricked as a Witch Her stitches itch

For familiar lips to lick them dry

Whilst the dark regrasps, for if She asks

The Sun forsakes the rite to rise

And is the first to discern, that this Angel's return

Is a vengefull call on grace

For even martyrdom backs from it's suicide pacts

A leap of twisted fate betrothed...

The scars will last until the stars

Caught in Her train bewitched

Fall into line and yeild the sign

That Dawn in born to their eclipse

For Our Inhumankind

Comes an underdog day Sunrise

Rippling with fire like femalediction

Wind amidst the flame

I gazed out

Tapped into the fog and shared her pain

When in her mind she sought his leave

And begged forgiveness

I splintered Her coffin and lay on the floor

Of a vault with Her clasped as the moon hugs the shore

What treachery this that She breathed no more?

Christ you bastard!

I wished Her back but the dead adored Her

Even wild winds sang in chora for Her

Saffron from my heart, from the start I swore

We'd be together more...

Creation froze with the triumph of Death

But still She stirred and awoke bereft

Of concern save for the aeons left

To lead the darkness...

She schemes of growing power and the lengths sucked hard to get it

I dream of being God but ever living to regret it

Our fecund nature decrees that Jesus wept come for

The Devil on Her knees

To grant Her lows a remedy

And mine desire's wish

To taste thereof of Heaven's scent

As sick and twisted as it is

For Her corset laced with arsenic

Hides snake curves within Her midst

Whilst Her halo of white lies supplies

Her temple to what God forbids.

Snuff: Slipknot

2010-02-11T07:27:00.000-08:00

This is a short film for the song "Snuff" taken from Slipknot's album "All Hope Is Gone", directed by M. Shawn Crahan and P.R. Brown.
Lead singer Corey Taylor (from Kerrang! July 19, 2008): "This is the slow one. It's another personal one. Again, not naming names, it's about someone who helped me through a lot and I thought she felt the same way that I did and then she really let me down. At the same time, it was good that she did, because it was that final push to me figuring out myself. The lyrics are pretty self-explanatory."
This is one of the very few songs from Slipknot that I like. This is a touching song with amazing feel and the song clearly displays perfect job done in lyrics, music and vocals. After reading a lot of reviews on this song, I can conclude that this song saddens and inspires those who have broken down emotionally.

Lyrics:

Bury all your secrets in my skin.

Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins.

The air around me still feels like a cage

And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again...

So if you love me, let me go.

And run away before I know.

My heart is just too dark to care.

I can't destroy what isn't there.

Deliver me into my Fate -

If I'm alone I cannot hate

I don't deserve to have you...

Ooh, my smile was taken long ago,

If I can change I hope I never know.

I still press your letters to my lips

And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss.

I couldn't face a life without your light,

But all of that was ripped apart, when you refused to fight.

So save your breath, I will not care.

I think I made it very clear.

You couldn't hate enough to love.

Is that supposed to be enough?

I only wish you weren't my friend.

Then I could hurt you in the end.

I never claimed to be a Saint...

Ooh, my own was banished long ago,

It took the Death of Hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones

And spit your pity in my soul.

You never needed any help...

You sold me out to save yourself...

And I won't listen to your shame.

You ran away, you're all the same.

Angels lie to keep control...

Ooh, my love was punished long ago,

If you still care, don't ever let me know...

Paid In Full: Sonata Arctica

2010-02-08T04:54:00.000-08:00

When I listened to this Finnish metal band for the first time, I found it similar to Nightwish in many aspects. But as I got opportunity to listen more from them, I discovered that they have a completely different kind of music style. Although many of them tend to dislike the vocals of Tony Kakko, I've been liking his vocal skill and quality a lot. This song "Paid in Full" form album "Unia" is a love song and one of the best songs of Sonata Arctica. Though every band member have done their job excellently for the song, I'll always remember this song for the awesome work of Henrik Klingenberg(keyboardist) ;especially the solo.

Lyrics:

I was nowhere near ready when all it ended

So I hoped we could find a new day, cannot live without you

You gave me the chance, time and again, in vain

Now my feelings for you, every tear, every smile, paid in full

Break the chain, but no longer can I take the pain

It's hard for me to love myself right now,

I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you

Needed to be strong, yet I was always too weak

So I can only blame myself for this state we are in

I will take what you have for me now, if it's not too late

Did you change? I did too. Love can grow from the last grain

It's hard for me to love myself right now,

I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you

I need you less and less

Every day feeds this moral decay

Yet I have grown to love you even more

I fall back, and I turn another cheek.

You mouth the words you're not ready to speak

You're scared of me now; no I never had a clue

That I'd become so much stronger than you.

I will take what you have for me now, if it's not too late

If you like I will leave, I will not miss the last train again

It's hard for me to love myself right now,

I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you...

It's hard for me to love your face right now

I'm waiting, hating, needing being me

I need you less and less and

Every day leads us farther away

From that moment

Is hard for me to hate myself right now

Finally I'm understanding me

One day we may have whole new me's and you's

But first I need to learn to love me too....

THE GRAND CONJURATION: OPETH

2010-02-04T07:24:00.000-08:00

This is a typical opeth song : unusual heavy guitar riffs, extremely melodic solo, good use of keyboard and bass and the combination of soft and death vocals. The transition of Mikael's vocals from whispering to growling and vice-versa is just amazing. This song from the album "Ghost Reveries" is based on satanic theme. The lyrics of the song shows the worship of satan; the call to satan. And my interpretation of the video is that it is about a boy who killed his mother and turned to satan except for the isolation years. Well, you can put forward about how you percieve this song.

Lyrics:

Majesty

Faithful me

Pour yourself

Into me

Wield your power

Martyr's price

Stare me down

To the ground

The eyes of the devil

Fixed on his sinners

Slake my thirst

Eternal wealth

Heathen key

Round my neck

This poetry

Our blasphemy

Know the sounds

Of infamy

The hands of Satan

Assembling his flock

The pale horse rider

Searching the earth

Whispered conjuration

A belief takes form

Choking hand tapping

The veins in your throat

His orders in your mouth

A decree for domination

Beneath the tides of wisdom

Spins the undertow of hate

Injected seeds of vengeance

Usurper's eyes on the powerless

Clean path to his kingdom

Beckoning in the mist

The Grand Conjuration

Tell me why

Love subsides

In the light

Of your wish

Say my name

Ease the pain

Clear the smoke

In my head

KURT COBAIN'S DEATH: SUICIDE OR MURDER ?

2010-01-22T01:11:00.000-08:00

The events surrounding the death of Kurt Cobain are filled with lies, contradictions in logic, and countless inconsistencies.

Kurt had 3 times the lethal dose of heroin (225 mgs) in his blood system. Medical experts say
such an amount will leave you incapacitated and cause you to lapse into a coma within seconds, if not kill you instantly. Kurt could not have done this, neatly put away all his belongngs,
roll down his sleeves and been able to pick up a shotgun to shhot himself.

According to police reports, there were no fingerprints on the shotgun, on the pen found with the "suicide" note, or the box of shotgun shells found beside Kurt. This indicates the crime scene was "swept" clean before the body was dicovered.

There is evidence that circumstances were manipulated to prevent Kurt from using his own car and gaining access to his own money in the days leading up to his death. Someone also attempted to use his credit card up until the morning of April 8th. Medical examiners determined Cobain had died on April 5th.

Courtney Love was facing a divorce. There is documented proof, including her own voice recordings, that indicates Kurt wanted out of the marriage, out of the music industry, and possibly full custody of their daughter Frances. Dave Grohl confirmed that Nirvana were about to break up at that time. Courtney's father claims Kurt was going to divorce her on adultery charges. Cobain also took steps to write her out of his will.

Eldon Hoke, singer of a band called the Mentors, claimed he was offered $50 K by Courtney to kill Kurt in December 1993. On mArch 6, 1996, Hoke was administered a polygraph test by Dr. Edward Gelb, who is one of the courtney's leading polygraph experts and teaches the advanced polygraph course for the FBI. Hoke passed a lie detector test with 99.7 % certainty that he was telling the truth.

Kurt said he wasn't suicidal to many people in the weeks prior to his death, including Seattle police, a doctor that reated him in Rome, the people of Exodus rehabilitation center in LA, his lawyer, and many friends, including his best friend Dylan Carlson who bought him the shotgun on March 30th. Kurt told Dylan he was afraid of intruders at thwe house.

Cobain's friends say the only person who started telling the media he was suicidal, after he died, was Courtney Love. This goes against everything Kurt himself told people in the weeks leading upto his death. The media decides to go with Courtney's story with no questions asked.

There are just a few of the reasons many around the world are wondering just what really happened that first week of April 1994. This information has since been the subject of books, films, televisions, radio shows, and many articles in recent years. Major media outlets like VH1 and programs such as Insolved Mysteries have run stories.

Nothing Else Matters: Metallica and Apocalyptica

2010-01-16T03:14:00.000-08:00

This is one of the very few love songs of Metallica. According to James Hetfield (vocalist of Metallica), he wrote the song about a girlfriend he once had, but when he looks back at it, he can't remember why he wrote it. Now, Metallica just considers it a song about their fans, because "nothing else matters" but their fans. This mild music video is perfect for a soft song with simple and melodic pluckings and solo and blending vocals of James. This song was covered by "Apocalyptica". The covered version is not different than what they have been doing. Its a symphonic instrumental with no vocals, guitars or drums.

Lyrics:

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know, whoa

But I know

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know, whoa

but I know

I never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for things they say

Never cared for games they play

I'd never cared for what they do

I'd never cared for what they know

And I know

Yeah!

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Dreamer: Ozzy Osbourne

2010-01-15T20:13:00.000-08:00

Well, this is the emotional song from the solo album of Ozzy Osbourne featuring Rob Trujillo (Metallica) in bass guitars and Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society) in leads that pulled me into Ozzy's music. I just figured Trujillo and Wylde when watching back this video. This song is about Osbourne's dream of different world for better living and happiness of children. It carries an introspective about the sad state of the world.You can see in this video directed by Rob Zombie. Ozzy compares this to John Lennon's "Imagine," which contains the line, "You might say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." He tries to convey the message that God and Jesus have nothing to do with our fate - the power is within us to bring the real change.

Lyrics:

Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime
After all there's only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself
Time after time
I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those Who will come after us ...
This time

I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away oh yeah
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
It doesn't really matter much to me
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us
I'm living in a dream of fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry ...
Be gone

I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away
Today
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
Okay

I'm just a dreamer
Who's searching for the way
Toda
I'm just a dreamer
Dreaming my life away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
