Porcelain Heart video screen-shots

[Blind Guardian]

Both the cover and the vid are 16th century-ish,i wonder if this is some theme for the whole album.

thanks man! you rule

 

[Scarecrow23]

You mean this'n?

What band is that? I quite like it...

 

[burntoast]

Kalmah. They fucking rule.

 

[Mr. Bland]

Anyways I like Mikael and Mendez's new instruments. I don't know about you guys, but I think it's the first time I've seen Mendez with a 5-string bass.

Doesn't look like a five string to me, I clearly see 4. Look at the tuning pegs.

 

[outerone]

Ill be one of the only ones on the liking side. I think these images are cool, beatiful lighting and composition. And those shots of the band and Mike, really cool. This video I think might be pretty cool. Plus these image alone stand a million miles from Cradle of Crap videos, you can tell someone who knows a thing or two about cinemaphotography was behind these shots!!

 

[BefriendedUnit]

I don't know about you guys, but I think it's the first time I've seen Mendez with a 5-string bass.

Holy shit! Good one... I didn't notice. Is he gonna be one of THOSE bass players from now on, you think?

EDIT: On second inspection, I dunno. Definitely looks like a 5-string to me.

 

[Nailed Reaper]

Mendez played 5-string bass on Mellobobat while performing with Axe and Nathalie.

And Mike's red beauty is also not a new one - he plays it live sometimes.

 

[Contra dk]

I think it looks great. Love the blue style in it and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result.

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

The more strings the more proggy. Not really.

 

[Sinten]

it looks more promising than tgc but we'll have to wait and see

That's a 5-string. Count the strings, and you'll notice that there's 5 .

More than likely he started using it because it'll be easier to play certain songs and he'll be able to play lower notes without switching tunings,

 

[affinityband]

wtf theres only 4 machineheads?

 

[entanglement]

Lasse Hoile has done some great work in the past!

Can't go wrong with Hoile imo. Time will tell.

 

[Nailed Reaper]

Fifth is placed lower. Just take a look at picture in the top.

 

[HoursOfDebt]

yea that is a 5 string. no doubt.

 

[HoursOfDebt]

edit: do you think thats where they took the pic for the cover? in that castle?

 

[Simskre]

Axe uses a rather small drum kit

 

[Nailed Reaper]

Gorgeous shot, agreed. I was amazed when saw it yesterday.

What do you mean about cover? "Watershed" cover with man sitting by the table? Travis Smith is a painter, not a photographer.
