Brudevalsen - These Tragedies

danish up-coming metal band, mostly their name that caught my eye, since it is danish for the Wedding Waltz. And I guess Robbo's thread inspired to check one of the genres I dislike, the others being R'n'B(in the modern sense) and hip hop(in general anyway). I am pretty confident that the thing that hinders me in liking is the vocals. I like the music, but I can't say I like growl, it's crude and often unvoluntary silly, I guess the term is I am not feeling it man. But thumbs up for having a Tom Waits cover

plus can anyone name some "essential" metal(that includes all those weird sub-genres) tracks, I am feeling adventurous

Robbo · « **Reply #1905 on:** 13 Jul 2005, 14:31 »

It's generally the most common thing people dont like about Metal, is the vocals used in more extreme styles. I know several people that like things like even Brutal Death Metal...just not the growling. Though I do have to point out there is lots of Metal that uses clean vocals and there are large numbers of classically and operatically trained singers in Metal.

Pendulum & The Freestylers - Fasten Your Seatbelts

Track this track down if you like electronica of any kind. It's breaks more than anything, but it has what may be the funkiest, most get-your-foot-tapping-despite-yourself hook I've heard since Kelis - Trick Me.

The Decemberists - The Mariner's Revenge Song

I do love Picaresque album. I think it is unique and ground breaking.

Garcin · « **Reply #1931 on:** 14 Jul 2005, 16:12 »

Indeed, a lot of critics think it's where Decemberists definitely shook the Belle & Sebastien & Neutral Milk Hotel comparisons. It is brilliant, and Mariner's Revenge live is one of my favorite live songs ever (they drag it out for about 20 minutes and encourage audience participation . . . shhhh . . . the band is sleeping).

Currently listening: Shins - Kissing the Lipless.

Decemberists have kinda cool lyrics, but well, if I want that kind of stuff...

Skyyyyyyyyclaaaaaaaad!

Skyclad - Polkageist!

"Arms of ivory strummed perfection
summoned me towards the middle.
Pan warmed up his pipes,
heard Herne a plucking at the fiddle.
She wrapped herself about me
(felt her hot breath at my ear);
Danced a horizontal polka
down the path to Hell I fear.

We're on a path to Hell I fear!

[Chorus]
Her rhythm pounced upon me
it trounced me in a trice.
That charm she wove about me
gripped me tight as any vice.
(She spoke in tongues above me).
Though I cast my eyes to Christ,
you'd need the virtue of a saint
to not succumb and overcome this
Polkageist!

The Horny Huntress:
"A spirit sent to haunt you
taunting all your earthly days.
Satyrs vaunt
cavorting to the reel Cernunnos plays.
I head our wild procession
(every beast from man to mouse),
finds freedom in possession
Polkageist is in the house!"

Juice of fruit beyond forbidden
dripping slowly from her fingers,
she took my hand and led me
to that place where cunning lingers."

This track always comes up when I try and explain to people why paganism rocks the arse off Judeochristian religions.

Skyclad is my anti-drug.

Skyclad - Catherine at the Wheel

"Her face caught in the headlamp glare,
There waiting for a ride.
Stood all alone - so far from home,
He beckons her inside.
A smile that has two meanings -
slips his fat hand to her knee,
But swiftly learns how quick to turn this woman scorned can be.

Her flesh was all he wanted -
But his blood was what she got,
And did he dream of scenes x-rated
when she showed him Salem's lot?
Now the hunted is the hunter
with a heart as cold as steel,
See the empty rear view mirror showing
Catherine at the wheel.

Down in the park - just after dark,
Girl crying 'neath a tree.
Begs "Can you help please mister?
- mummy left and forgot me."
"My, you're out late my dear" exclaims the shabby, strange old man,
Who hidden in the bushes finds a lion in his lamb.

She's a killer with a conscience -
and a bite too sharp to feel,
This child sat on the roundabout is Catherine at the wheel.

And if you could you'd kill them twice -
How sweet revenge can be,
'Gainst those you've sent to that place with no fury next to thee.

Her flesh was all they wanted -
but their blood was what she got,
And did they dream of scenes x-rated
when she showed them Salem's lot?
She's a killer with a conscience -
and a heart as cold as steel,
She's the hunter not the hunted -
with a bite too sharp to feel.
Her flesh was all they wanted -
but their blood was what she got,
And did they dream of scenes x-rated
when she showed them Salem's lot?

Catherine's at the wheel."

Boooooo to angry lesbians making bad rock.

The Ditty Bops - Wishful Thinking

Yaaaaaay to cool lesbians making happy folk-swing with terrific lyrics:

Why does blood turn brown when it dries?
Why do the tears well up in your eyes?
Why didn't I learn to ride my bike
When it was warm and sunny outside?

Why can't little kids tie their shoes?
Why can't the white people play the blues? <----- (I just need to point out how much ASS THIS KICKS!)
Why can't I fall in love with you?
It must be because of the seasons.

When the leaves start falling from the trees;
When the birds start flirting with the bees;
When the wind starts blowing from the East to the West;
Maybe you'll be the one that I like best.

Clouds start forming I can't complain
'Cause I think we might be in need of some rain.
When it starts pouring
Don't hide away without me.

I bought an umbrella big enough for two
But it feels pretty empty under here without you.
Dry as a bone but I'm still alone
I'm so gray.

When you're standing in a puddle with wet feet;
And your head is sore from pounding drops of sleet;
When the cold and lonely hours put your heart to the test;
Maybe I'll be the one that you like best.

If the sky can open its eyes
And cry from up above,
Let's shed some tears of joy
And fall in love.
