Hi, im from Quebec province and consider myself as Quebecan. heh.. separatist
The metal scene here is constantly growing and there is towns here dedicated to metal only or so such as Rimouski, Chicoutimi, far in the north (been there once in winter, 6-7hours by car, very cold) far for me since im from Montreal. And its great to go to a show in Montreal and see whole bus cracking full of metalheads coming from Quebec city and the towns around (quebec-montreal approx 2h to each other by car). And since even if the scene is growing, its still little, and something very unic i think about all this is when in the lineup for a show, you meet ppl around, other metalheads that youre about to see again in lineups for other shows. its all about that atmosphere or metal celebration and its really great! But AT LAST big bands begin to know they have a very good base of fans here and they are coming more and more. They cant come in Canada without paying themselves a little trip in Montreal and Quebec city and going back regreting it. Impossible. AMON AMARTH will be well welcomed /grin
Anyway, i thought Vinland was refering to maritimes, St-Laurent gulf maybe, the very opening of the country by then (by ship), so that it might not include the rest of the continent really because im sure Erik the Red didnt had enough time, etc to see the whole lenght of it...
Switching again to another subject (ive red all the previous posts)
I am currently learning swedish. I plan on going in Sweden study there and learning better. maybe establish? dont know yet. Not that i dont like Quebec, its my homeland and will always be, but i need to see how it is in the world. I think the Old Norse derived languages are the most beautiful of all in the world. I tried learning Qenya from J.R.R Tolkien, elvish language (the poem in my signature is a poem i wrote in elvish), and while making researches on it, i discovered it was for a great deal inspired from scandinavian languages. But what got me even more into learning Swedish (Norwegian is next), is the music of Vintersorg, if you know about. its such a beautiful speaking language ^^
and what i would like to hear is AA's songs sing in their language. i think it would be very great. I heard Siegreicher Marsch (Victorius March) and its really interesting, but (newb) arent AA Swedes?
Anyway, good day
