Blackmore's Night

[Personified Hatred]

Does anyone of you like them? What do you think about them?

 

[Einherjar86]

Don't know what the general consensus is, but I love them. Ritchie Blackmore is the fuckin' man, and his folk stuff kicks ass. I own Village Lantern and Fires At Midnight. Both awesome albums.

I own Village Lantern and Fires At Midnight. Both awesome albums.

I agree about "Village Lanterne", but I have only that one, so I can't say anything about "Fires At Midnight".

I thought it was fucking horrible when I bought one of their albums. I was extremely disappointed, I was hoping for awesome Purpleish shit

I have Shadows of the Moon. It's pretty damn good but I don't listen to it much since it gets swallowed up by the rest of the collection.

Have most of the records, I like them a great deal.

I bought "Beyond The Sunset" for my girlfriend and enjoy it. Blackmore's guitar work is excellent thru out. A good album to sit by a fire on a cold winters night with your significant other.

I think it's awesome that they're doing such legitimate folk. But certainly not my cup of tea. I mainly like my "folk" done with basic acoustic guitar chords and rockish lyrics like Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Real folk is not my thing.

^That's interesting. I really like Blackmore's Night, but I've grown away from them as I expand my folk tastes.

The more I listen, the more I find Blackmore's Night to be too clean and polished for me. I'm actually really digging the raw, dark sound of Empyrium right now. Thanks to Seditious for the recommendation.

Your back bro.
