Story Concepts

[GoblinSupremo]

The story concept...

Is Vehemence the first band to do an album that is one big story in terms of lyrics?


Know of any other albums like that?




I think Diabolical Masquerade has something of the sort, as in an album that is all one big deal...

 

[FuckYouIWantToDie]

I think King Diamond did one with "Abigail" but I'm not sure cuz I don't know much about that guy...

The Who did one back in 1969 with "Tommy" and again in '74 with "Quadraphenia"

I know there have been others, but I can't think of any right now...

 

[SpeakUSAorDie]

Opeth's "My Arms Your Hearse" is one

 

[The8thPlague]

...bands have been doin' 'em for along time.
Here's some more:

RUSH - 2112,

Cradle of Filth - Cruelty & the Beast,

OPETH - StillLife, (along with My Arms Your Hearse),

Divine Empire - Nostrodamus(not yet released...I don't think),

EMPEROR - Prometheus,

Macabre - Dahmer(more just like Dahmer's life from a boy till his death...so Sorta Kinda).

KATAKLYSM - Epic(Only the 1st 4 songs are a concept, then the rest of the cd are based on different subjects).

I'm sure there's more, I just can't think of 'em right now.

King Diamond rules, and so do concept albums.

Off the grill take out delivery rules. Start eating there people, its not greesy at al and there food tastes great.

Conceptual albums are great, Opeth's My Arms Your Hearse is a kick ass concept album.

Some new news, BC has taken the responsibility to do the Testament show not Franco of the Mason Jar.

 

[Reversed Reality]

Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory

 

[SlaughterofSoul]

Edge Of Sanity-Crimson(It's a big story in one 40 min song)

I can't believe no one mentioned Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime. Amazing concept. King Diamond's Them ruled too.

 

[VEHEMENCE]

Yeah I remember hearing Edge of Sanity-Crimson, at KC's/Skylars house in the learning sessions of Brides of Christ.

Fear Factory's Obsolete was a big story about a robot who tries to stop the end of the world.

Hmmm, no I can't think of any other band to have ever done a concept album.

 

[VEHEMENCE]

As a Brutal Melodic Death Metal Band, I think we are the first to make such a gruesome conceptual story. So ...... Clive Barker!.

 

[Dankerella]

I bet most peeps don't know that Clive Barker lives in L.A. with his man-friend/life partner. Yup - butt pirate.

 

[VEHEMENCE]

Clive Barker's The Undying Video Game.

 

[Helvete666]

heh..i got that game, bought just cause it said clive barker, the gameplay kinda sux on it, i played it like twice

 

[VEHEMENCE]

Is there any 3d shooting game where you cut and paste pictures of whoever's heads and map them to characters , and blow them up?

 

[Helvete666]

unreal tournament, and the quake series, you can make skins, and then put them on character models and kill your enemeis
