A quick question about Hollenthon...

[Oceanic Motion]

"Lords of Bedlam" on 'With Vilest of Worms To Dwell'. What is the piece of classical music used at the start? I was told by someone is was Symphony 9 in E by Dvorak. So I downloaded the nearest thing I could find "Symphony 9, 2nd Movement" which is something different.

 

[J.]

Nope. It's:

Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet Suite
No. 2: Montagues and Capulets

Is this Hollenthon band anygood? Do they sound like Therion? I really dont care for therion after Theli.

 

[J.]

yes, they rule. No, they don't sound like Therion. Hollenthon use death growls, and don't use any symphonies or any gay shit like that.

Imagine if Therion got some balls, upped the death metal elements a lot, got a death metal singer, and wrote interesting songs. There you go.

The symphonic element is a hige part of their sound! Either way that was the correct song, so thanx for that.

 

[Theli]

Whatever happened to that band anyway? No news in ages...

Yes, but they don't use real symphonies, instead relying on synths and keyboards, programmed sounds, giving them a more old-school feel, IMO.
