and

STORM OF CAPRICORN - Retours de tranchées - CD in digipack lim.>500< / Twilight

"Retours des tranchées" is dealing with a mix of martial pop and neoclassical touches as CDAA or Ordo Equitum Solis,
with french lyrics. The main theme of the album is the hard struggle of men and women during the WWI, with no
judgement or advice just a tribute to those who gave their life and those who lost a heart.

12,90 eur

I'm interested in both of them for sure, but it will end up costing me 32.55 Euro to order both of them from Austria (or wherever it is Steinklang is based) so I was wondering if you could let me know if it's really worth it.

 

[Ellestin]

Hmmm I could give you a yousendit link for this Storm of Capricorn album. Haven't I already?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Not yet.

I'll probably end up getting the four way split anyway, since it's limited (I think) and I know that at least 2 of the 4 bands on it are quality, but I'm a bit concerned about the Storm of Capricorn stuff because I thought you said something about it having subpar vocals, and, as it's well known, bad vocals can sometimes ruin everything.

 

[Ellestin]

Well the vocals are mainly spoekn words with a drop of melodic attempt, I wouldn't say they're "bad", in fact they suit the music quite good, just that both vocalists... well they aren't vocalists in the first place and you can hear that.

I'd agree you go with the 4-way split first and see what happens with the Storm of Capricorn contribution there. I'll send you a link sometime soon for more SoC tracks.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

ah, ok. That's reassuring.

I'll probably just get both anyway, since I really don't want to make two orders (shipping is 5.50 Euro to Canada for an unregistered packet up to 350g )

 

[Ellestin]

The Lyrics on "Retours des Tranchées" are obviously in French, it would help your enjoyment to have them translated somehow because they're fairly "emotional" in a harsh, tragic way

 

[MajestikMøøse]

All the better reason for me to brush up on my French.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Well I just sent the paypal payment, so they better be good, otherwise I'll have to say not-nice words.

 

[Ellestin]

Full whipping would be appreciated then.

Bertrand, has been absent for a good five weeks. Hope he's not being held captive in a "no-go" zone.

 

[Ellestin]

haha no. Life changes and shit. NOthing drastic. Plus still can't get past the new forum design tbh

 

[Reign in Acai]

Consider the new forum one of those life changes breh. I fear for your safety in West Syria, and need weekly check ins at the very least.
