Dead Can Dance

[Demilich]

I'm checking this band out just now. "The Arrival and the Reunion" off of Aion.

Sounds



edit: WHY is this band so good?!1 :zombie:

 

[BenMech]

i hate live albums

90% of the songs on Towards the Within are not on the studio albums.

Actually, find the Towards the Within dvd.

tempted to get The Lotus Eaters. Serpent's Egg is goodlyness

I wish i could find "Xavier" - my favourite DCD song

 

[JayKeeley]

How is The Mantle 'pink' but Dead Can't Dance isn't?

 

[IOfTheStorm]

It's not about the softness of the music, but about what feeling they transcend and how serious and convincing they sound.

 

[J.]

DCD doesn't have anything to do with metal. At all. Ever.

Kinda like Radiohead.

 

[JayKeeley]

Yeah but come on, we're not still judging music based on how metal it is. That's so 1998. Let's transcend the metal borders and just look at it all as plain ol' music!

 

[Sfarog]

DCD is an amazing band. I saw them at Radio City Music hall about 2 years ago, and i was just flabbergasted pretty much the whole time. I love the guy's voice, and the chick is good too when it's not just a solo piece by her

she also did the Gladiator sound track if I remember correctly.

DCD is awesome fucking music (literally)

Seriously i could fall in love with the woman only because of her voice.

 

[J.]

i regularly listen to the entire discography. i even like spiritchaser. a lot.

 

[J.]

she also did the Gladiator sound track if I remember correctly.

among many. just recently watched man on fire and mission impossible II, both of which i noticed her voice immediately.

beautiful voice

 

[Krilons Resa]

so i guess i should start checkin these fools out.

 

[JayKeeley]

yeah, if you want sleepy bedtime music

not that there's anything wrong with that

I hate this kind of stereotypical characterizations about some kinds of music.
Heavy metal: "Nothing wrong with listening to it drinking beers and having fun, you should do that from time to time". Like its only worth begins and ends with the amount of beer in the bottle...
Heavy "so called stoner by homos" rock: "Summer fun music to smoke some weed to and see yourself diving into the sun".

In other news Lisa Gerrard will give a show here in November so i am more than happy about that.

...and that is wrong, how?

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Because it's deamining to the music, one way or another.

 

[Reign in Acai]

So from what I've read, the quality of the DVD version of "Toward the Within" is horrid. Is it bad enough that it's not worth picking up?!

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Just came back from a Lisa Gerrard show here. Probably the most perfect live i have ever seen and will ever see (unless. P.W. reunite). Her voice was so unbearably beautiful that i felt like i'm getting a stroke with her performance in "Sacrifice" and "The Host Of Seraphim", among others.

I really enjoy Dead Can Dance but I'm merely a casual fan for the time being.
