swirl_of_blue Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I think it's time for me to crawl out of only reading and posting on the sexuality/relationship subforums... I guess this is as good a place to start as any! My tastes lean strongly towards symphonic metal, probably because I've been listening to classical music since before I was born. I have also been playing at least one classical instrument for over twenty years (since I was 5). My favourite bands at the moment are Kamelot and Rhapsody of Fire, though I also love Turisas (which has an added bonus of being Finnish like me). If I want to go even "heavier" I also listen to Dragonforce. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Sonata Arctica, sometimes I can spend days listening to nothing else and then be completely fed up with their music. I also like a lot of the older stuff from Nightwish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaturnOOO Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Welcome @swirl_of_blue! Feel free to share your favourites or just hang out and chit chat! I have some thoughts on the symphonic bit, but unfortunately they're going to have to wait until I'm finished with this school project I'm in the midst of . In the mean time, welcome to the world of Off-A! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SaturnOOO Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Mkay so I said I was going to post some thoughts on symphonic, and I know everyone's just been waiting with bated breath I'm not generally speaking a "symphonic" fan, usually because it tends to be heavily synth-driven, and I prefer a rawer sound. This is a general preference and very much not a rule, as some of my favourite bands are quite synthy. The closest I come among my faves to the symphonic sound in the usual metal sense might be Emperor: BUT I hold an unpopular opinion that there is plenty of metal that is quite "symphonic" in its own right without any of the usual trappings, if what you want from the "symphonic" element is more classical composition and complex melody (rather than the more literal "sounding as if played by a symphony, in which case you're better off with the synth or, in certain cases, an actual symphony of course.) A good example is Necrophagist. Symphonic might not be one of the first words that pops to mind to describe them, but certainly balletic is, so that's worthy of a discussion! And I mean, this song ends in a Prokofiev melody! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piotrek Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 @SaturnOOO I remember listening to some pieces by Emperor, but then I quickly moved on to the stuff recorded by Andrea Haugen (who used to be involved with one of the Emperor's members). I guess I'll have to give Emperor another spin. Also, I liked the Necrophagist songs. I need to search for more. Some more Polish stuff from me: Hellveto Spoiler Blakagir (lots of ambient here) Spoiler 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XYZ96 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 here's a band that comes from a city not far from where I went to school so anyway, I saw them live at a festival. Before them on the main stage Equilibrium was playing, the moment Equilibrium was suppose to stop, they were suppose to start, so I ran to the other stage (the festival had a total of 3 stages..), they were a cool show, they even gave out free beer (though not much, so I didn't take any because others around me, who probably actually liked beer, wanted it way way more then me ..). After them on the main stage played Eluveitie, if I remember right, so unfortunately I didn't get a good spot for Eluveitie, but I had seen Eluveitie live before (Eluveitie played at the first Metal concert I'd ever went to, way before I was even into metal).. anyhow, this is a song they played, I'm even somewhere in that crowd (visible even if you know exactly where to look ..) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SaturnOOO Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 @Piotrek glad you liked the Necrophagist! They are definitely worth several spins when you have the time. So many folk metal fans, so I may as well pour fuel on the fire: ...And their subsequent band, Vreid, though they became significantly less folky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Piotrek Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 @XYZ96 I totally agree with that Such happy metal Jump and carry on! Ride on! OK, so I said in my first post here that I was into female-fronted metal, but still haven't posted any? Time to rectify this Back from the days when the beauty and the beast vocals were still a relatively new thing. Spoiler Can't remember if I posted it before, but Last.fm says it's my most played song ever. Spoiler One of my favourite songs by After Forever Spoiler 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
