New music

[Shogun_Master]

I have a feeling that this quarantine is going to result in a lot of amazing music, if only from out of the sheer boredom of the artists themselves.

Anyway, here's a few great songs I found this week. I don't necessarily mean for there to be a running theme, but, admittedly, most of these songs are on the same general wavelength.

Amaranthe- Do or Die, ft. Angela Gassow

Beyond the Black- Wounded Healer, ft Elize Ryd

Beyond the Black- Human

Feel free to add your own, if you'd like to share.

I like the idea of this thread. I'm assuming you mean new to you because I'm familar with Amaranthe and that song been out for a couple of montjs.

 

[Shogun_Master]

Yeah, pretty much. Lol

 

[scikaiju]

In a new to me find
Dynazty Preseance of Mind

I figured it out. Click on the "..." next to the report button. Edit post is one of the options under there.

Yeah, I've spent a lot of lock down on Spotify. I will stick to my more rocky discoveries, as that seems to be the main focus of the thread:

Seeing as HJU is all about Japanese entertainment, I guess I should start with some Japanese music. Spotify only has a fraction of the output of the band Boris and noise/drone isn't normally my thing, but there was still some cool stuff in there.

Dialing things back a bit, Band Maid. Look beyond the gimmicky maid outfits, and their recorded output is...well actually, not anywhere near as cool as their live shows, which look awesome.

Keep an eye out for a moment when the bassist and both guitarist go over to the drummer and lean in as if they're talking. Normally if a band does that then there's a problem, but in this case they were just pulling funny faces to try and put the drummer off!

As a Brit, I should probably include something local. So here's an earworm from a recent discovery, Hands Off Gretel.

The final one (for now?) is probably the most interesting... The HU. Take Mongolian throat singing, traditional instrumentation and then add it to a typical Western rock bassline and drums. Somehow, it has a stomping metal vibe.

Oh, and switch on the subtitles for this one if you'd like to know what these guys are saying. Turns out this one borrows the lyrics of a Golden Horde era war chant. So yeah, a bunch of baddasses who really are threatening to kill you!

*shrugs* The thread is for sharing music. I don't care what people want to put on here, it just skewed that way because I'm more of a rock person & no one else has posted so far execept the two of us.

Dynazty & the Hu pop up a lot on my YouTube feeds, but I haven't listened to them too much this far. Not too bad. That New Year's Day one is pretty badass too.

I think we can all find some relevance for this to be here:

Also just saw this for Orden-- Ogan. I don't think it's as good as Gunman, but I want to hear more of the album before I reserve judgement. I also apologize for when this song begin repeatedly trying to access dial-up in the second half.

And, finally, this oddly mellow thing from Italy about an Asian folk tale.
Moonlight Haze- The Rabbit of The Moon

 

[SciKaiju]

A new version of an older song apparently Ha!reform featuring Amy Lee of Evenescence team in

And just a personal guess but I think we'll be seeing a lot of covers during this such as this one Diamante with the singer of Breaking Benjermin Isris

And this I discovered a month or so ago
The Tenors featuring Lynden Sterling- Who Wants To Live Forever. Granted the video has more of Interview With a Vampire vibe rather than Highlander.

 

[Shogun_Master]

So, has anyone heard of Scarlet Dorn? I just discovered this after a collaboration with Chris Harms from Lord of the Lost, who, apparently, also produces for her. Her stuff is a mellow, but really moody, in a good way.

Scarlet Dorn- I Love the Way You Say My Name

 

[scikaiju]

Well some new music is starting to come out

From their upcoming album Amaranthe
Archanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fExpycwIrUgel

And the effect of the pandemic is strong in this one Diamante -Obvious

 

[scikaiju]

Trying this again with Amaeanthe Archangel, still can't find how to edit since the only option I see is deselect all in the menu

 

[Shogun_Master]

I guess you probably should've waited a few days, because, speaking of Amaranthe, they just dropped Fearless. That's four videos in one year. I wonder if they're doing the entire album, or something. Lol

Anyway, I liked Do or Die & Viral, but wasn't a big fan of the other two they did. Archangel, in my opinion, wasn't bad, just ok. This one I actually kind of like. I was never that much of a fan of them because they sounded like musical whiplash, but since they got the new singer mixed in, he's been gelling with their style a lot better & making them more tolerable.

 

[scikaiju]

Well their latestat album did just drop, gotta get the fans excited for it you know lol

Granted this is the band, well them and I Prevail, that made me realize I was into the Metalcore genre. And claiming they have have three lead vocalists I can understand the whiplash thing

 

[Shogun_Master]

So, has anyone ever seen this one before?

Nanowar of Steel- And then, I saw that she was a Gargoyle

 

[scikaiju]

Would this be considered Viking rock?

 

[Shogun_Master]

Someone brought this old meme back

I'd say the best part is when "Batman changes back into Bruce Wayne."

 

[Shogun_Master]

We don't use this one all too often, but I wanted to add a couple new songs to share. First up are two from a symphonic metal band called Ad Infinitum- lead singer is a black woman who has also been in a screamo band & a folk metal band. She lately also did a song with a German band called Feuerschwanz, which I'll also throw up here, though it's not very appropriate for children.
