God Forbid is another band to check out.
Man i's beautiful, beautiful music as i never witnessed before. For example, we have They Arent All Beautiful which is a song thats as much as oppressive, as almost brutal feeling, roaring growls tormented clean vocals, guitars blazing and icenerating the room
in the middle you get some stops which is very strange given its fast tempo, strange orchestration (but fitting) is also included.
In the same album youll get Marids Gift of Art, youll get some beautiful finger picked guitar riffs and then youll swear it can't be from the same band. Heaven and Weak starts with a very flexible and catchy bass, I witness the most harmonic and serene male & female clean vocals EVER!
Now a twist, a intro by a church organ , The Ferryman, now this is black metal, with doom lyrics I decided to call dark metal
it ends with this very morbid screams and moans, ah with Latin lyrics
eh eh
this is of what nightmares are made of
they still have time to do a great Birth Pains of a Astral Generation with its amazing 10 minutes and so
clean vocals, growls and if im not mistaken some female
dont think the lady only does background vocals like Anathemas Je tai Fait Une Prommese or My Dying Brides Black God
she sings, the first female vocals, I dont think, sound gay or unglamorous
hard to pass my knowledge through words from this wondrous, amazing, awesome band
. Guess youll have to hear to this
though its not for everybody, if you know what I mean. Check their lyrics too, they can be both simple like Marids or really for experts only. What were you expecting from a band with 9 members?
The Ferryman translated to English
Beneath lonely darkness the gloomy travellers go through shadow and through the deserted abodes and ghostly kingdom of Dis:
through uncertain moonlight under rays of a spiteful sort the way
lies in the woods, where Jupiter hides the sky in shadow and
night steals colour from the black heavens.
Marid's Gift of Art
WHEN you were a baby, I told you that beauty came from the sea. Now when you touch me between the eyes, I say, "Why?" I never lie, but you won't believe I could make everyone so happy, I could make everything beautiful, like you. Clean, forever, just like you.
BTW, Opeth but not Opeth... maybe Morningrise... Katatonia maybe Dance... but this guys are very original... avantgard as they call them.
