[Dominick_7]

Was definitely different, not what I was expecting. What do you guys think?

Wow so much black and dark influences. Didn't see that coming at all. The chorus is completely rasped until they do it together with Fabio later on. This actually reminds me of Bal Sagoth a lot now though with more power metal influences of course. Actually I am starting to think this is really good. The guitars are much heavier and almost playing technical lines and the production sounds amazing. I bet this is Luca's Rhapsody In Black project influences coming through. Dyed in the wool Rhapsody fans may not get this at all but after a couple of plays this song sounds very intriguing and makes me wanna listen to the whole album.

 

[Corsair]

Really does sound like a bal-sagoth track at parts.


Now, I have no problem with harsh vocals but I kinda wish Rhapsody hadn't done that; just doesn't feel like -them- y'know? Still a kickass track.

 

[Metaldrumz]

I thought the track blew ass.

Of course you did. You host a radio show with a big demonic satan-ish character as its icon but you play butt rock (I mean really, shouldn't the dude be wearing a unitard or something?). I wouldn't expect your actual OPINIONS to make sense either.

I kid I kid.

I've loved this band since Legendary Tales and I love them even more now. This sounds like King Diamond meets Bal Sagoth. <3

I thought this was awesome. That's saying something, I haven't been excited about this band in quite some time. It's definitely not traditional Rhapsody and I think that's why I liked it. I thought traditional Rhapsody was awesome, for the most part, back when I listened to a LOT of power metal. I still listen to it some, but not as much anymore, so this band hasn't really blipped the radar for me in a while. This might change on this release if this album is all like this. Nice to see they are changing it up a bit.

Ever since their label dispute ended, these guys really seem to be (no pun intended...well, maybe) on fire! They definitely feel inspired.

It was a management dispute, not a label dispute, but their label went bankrupt so it made sense for them to leave. I don't think anyone expected their NB debut to chart as well as it did, so they're able to justify all this sweet new music. I fucking love it and totally agree.

Sure I also play tits, cock, and cunt rock as well.

Thanks for supporting the show since you know whats on each weeks rotation.

aka "metal" with no riffs played by dudes who look like girls that in 2011 gets nobody laid and is basically New Kids On The Block with guitar solos.

Wow really? I'm sure thats news to guys like Bret Michaels (And I'm not even a fan of his).

I suppose in order to get laid and be "Metal" you gotta dress up like demonic transvestites, and shop at Hot Topic.

 

[AeonicSlumber]

No you just have to have balls and play riffs. BTW are you calling King Diamond a tranny? l

Also I tried looking for pics of your show's mascot with a woman's wig advertising buttrock and hair metal, I think you called it "Hairing Aid" but the notion of that picture of some leather clad monster wearing girl hair wanting to listen to Warrant and Stryper coupled with you making fun of "demonic transvestites" pretty much sums up what I was saying about you to begin with. Just laugh a little. Not everything has to be so serious -- you have to admit, that shit is funny.

 

[AeonicSlumber]

Also lol Bret Michaels. The only reason why he's in the press at all nowadays is because of his embarrassing stunt at the Tonys (Oh yeah, because when I think metal, I think the Tonys) last year.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Well, I always thought Bal-Sagoth ........ sort of lacked some things...so the elements of this song that sound like that are OK since I enjoy Rhapsody a great deal more. I have to say I liked it until about the chorus, it feels like it kind of falls apart and becomes derivative there. Having the chorus being all dirty vocals is really cool, just how it's put together and what's behind it kind of makes me feel like nothing is really happening at that part. It's just not, like, WHAT THAT CHORUS SHOULD BE... There were a couple songs on the last album that made me feel like that, too. I'll still look into this new one, just hope there are some better songs.........

 

[Akumu]

Loved "Reign of Terror" so I'm glad they're doing more tracks in that vein.

Girl hair? Considering most musicians in "metal" bands have "girl hair" perhaps you should be listening to the backstreet boys.

And I just saw Stryper 2 weeks ago and all bible thumping bullshit aside had BALLS and RIFFS.

For every dude who makes fun of the "glam bands" or "hair metal" whatever you wanna call it...they then preach about what "real" metal is. My point being that how the fuck are the 80s big hair bands any cheesier than what all these black/death bands do? Wearing upside down crosses and dressing in all black with face paint and devil jewelry pretending to be satanic is more badass?

You have shitty taste in music anyways. I like prime rib and you like steak umms...its all good.

Bret Michaels is relevant because hes out promoting himself, and his music.

Most musicians don't perm up their hair so it's big, poofy, and feminine. Protip: This is not the 80's anymore

I'm not saying that those bm or dm bands aren't cheesy, and if you thought at all that was what I was trying to say -- I mean we're in a RHAPSODY thread here. Of course it's cheesy. And of course singing about satan is chessy. But there's a REASON why it's done. It's done because it's written by kids who grew up in christian families not happy with the christian doctrine and used satanism, vikingism, etc as an outlet because it is the antithesis of christianity. I mean, Iommi himself is and was a Catholic, but look at Black Sabbath...that's not going to stop them from signing about wanting to hang the pope.

It's not an issue of cheese, it's an issue of coolness. There's nothing cool about a bunch of dudes dressing like women playing riffless boy band music. Are there hair bands that I like by the way? You bet your ass, but I accept that it's not metal. You go around parading it like that's the only type of metal and everything else is shit. And what's hilarious is that you do it with all this demonic imagery -- the exact SAME demonic imagery mind you, that you think is cheesy. The fact you can't even see that is just hilarious to me. I mean, if all of that is intended to be satirical, forgive me, I misread it as serious. But yeah, it's just funny.

You have shitty taste in music anyways. I like prime rib and you like steak umms...its all good.

I mean that's your opinion and that's fine. At the end of the day though I just think it's funny Stryper is "prime rib" to you. I'd say prime rib for me is The Moody Blues, Zappa, or Pink Floyd, but that's what makes us different. We're all snowflakes!

Bret Michaels is relevant because hes out promoting himself, and his music. not starting pissing matches with everyone on a forum all the time.

No he's not relevant though, he's a joke. Everyone thinks he's a joke. When you google search "Bret Michaels is" the top searches don't list anything that remotely says "cool, liked, relevant, etc." But on the other hand, the top searches are "Bret Michaels is a loser," "Bret Michaels is a douche," "Bret Michaels is an idiot," etc. That's the thing, your small circle of stuck-in-the-80's types who think he's actually "promoting himself" is the vast vast minority. And by the way, I would think suing the Tonys for getting a scratch on your nose is far more laughably embarrassing than me saying I disagree with your taste on a board. Just me tho.

My "Hairing aid" banner doesnt display my mascot with POOFY hair so if thats your description I have no idea why you lumped "girl hair" in with it. Seems to me you're just one big ball of inconsistency.

You are having a discussion with me as if I only play "hair bands" on my radio show. Last I checked I just recently did a CD showcase for the new VICIOUS RUMORS album. I just did one this past week for BOREALIS as well. I have played thrash on my show. Testament, Wrathchild America, Kreator and many more so I don't quite get where you have this notion that all I play is "cock rock". I guess I'm just not METAL because I don't blast Deicide, Obituary, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse etc.

I love Power/Prog Metal how am I stuck in the 80s? Because I like music that was written then? So If I like a Beethoven song am I stuck in the 1700s? I mean that is DUMB logic. Moody Blues, Zappa, etc what are you stuck in the 60's and 70's?

Funny thing? I can't stand Bret Michaels! I have ranted about him on my show MANY Times. I do not like Poison either. I didn't back then, and I still don't now. I posted that because I knew it would get your panties in a bunch.

EDIT : Anyways enough thread derailing. Any further discussion feel free to PM me.
