Forced Listening Thread V: Planet of the Bikini Vampire Babes
Caspian:
Having heard some Therion before and thinking that it was pretty pretentious and fairly shite I wasn't really expecting too much. While this still isn't the best stuff ever, it's not so bad, I don't mind the string intro, I just wish the rest of it was a bit meatier, I guess. The strings and ridiculously overdubbed vocals completely drown out the guitars and stuff. Not terrible, but it's definitely confirmed to me that this band isn't really worth looking into. 4/10.
My track is 'Nightmare Heaven' by Arcturus. Big riffs, some sort of trip hop ish break, epic vocals by Garm.

This is pretty fun stuff. I am in the most general sense a fan of tempo/rhythm/volume changes and this really delivers. With all the electronics in the mix it sounds more synthetic (no pun intended) than i really like my metal, but still pretty enjoyable, especially the vocals. This has me convinced that I need to get some ulver sooner or later. 8/10
Anyway, this is a track from nightwish's new album. It would be really great if it sounded about 30% less polished. As it is, I still find it pretty enjoyable.

Having hated old Nightwish (or should I say, the old Nightwish singer) with a deep, undying passion, I was kind of interested with how they'd fair with a new singer. I was still expecting it to blow dogs, though. However, it sounds pretty good. The vocals are pretty well done, the string/synth embellishments aren't too bad, and overall it was a fairly good listen. A Nightwish song that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the ears? A Nightwish song that's TASTEFUL? Krazy! I'll definitely be picking up their newer album after hearing this. 8/10
Anyway, while I would like to keep the metal posting streak up, I thought I'd upload eluvium's Ostinato instead. Amazing ambient.

You thought you would...but apparently you didn't?

oops. Here it is, though!
