Songs of the supernatural [25 Jul 2008|01:42pm]

sorcha_ruel
Since there's been a few posts lately asking for specific song topics I thought I'd throw one out: I'm looking for songs with supernatural beings in them. I have several works in progress with fae, vampires, witches, werewolves, and ghosts in them so I thought it might be fun to have a playlist that relates closely to what I'm writing. Plus I'd like to discover some new bands in the process.

Ideas, anyone?

Now you can hear the new Katagory V singer [22 Jul 2008|10:29am]

joansies
So...all three (or less) of you that might be intersted in Katagory V might also be interested to hear what the new singer sounds like.  Katagory V has posted a 4-minute clip of his audition demo on their myspace: www.myspace.com/katagoryv and of course you can hear it on his page.  Details below, taken from the Katagory V Myspace.

------------------------------------------ 

Newly recruited Katagory V vocalist, Al Rybka, has uploaded a montage of his vocal audition tracks and has made them available for download. The single four-minute track that has been uploaded features four short clips of Katagory V songs that Rybka submitted for his audition, and what inevitably landed him the singer slot in the band.

 

Al had this to say concerning the clips, "It is with great pleasure that we present to you these snippets of my audition for Katagory V.  I was in talks with Dustin for quite some time before this audition came about, so I waited eagerly to have a hand (er, voice!) at these songs.  Once the tracks were sent to me, I had two weeks to get these four songs recorded in their entirety.  In addition, I was to come up with vocal melodies for some lyrics they had written for some snippets of new material they were writing for the upcoming album and then record those ideas.  Obviously, those have to be kept top secret.  My goal with the recordings you can now hear was to stay true to the sound the band had with Lynn while making the songs my own.  If you notice some subtle differences in the way I sing these songs, just know that those differences were intentional.  I hope you enjoy these tracks even half as much as I enjoyed recording them."

 

The audition clips can be streamed by visiting Al's MySpace page located Here, and is available for download via the Katagory V official website.

 

Katagory V recently announced that they would be debuting the bands new line-up live in their hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah on Friday August 8th, and has also confirmed their performance at this years Midwest Metal Anthem festival on Friday August, 22 in Lansing, Illinois.

 

In January Katagory V mentioned in a press release that lead vocalist Lynn Allers and guitarist Marc Hanson were no longer in the band, and then six months later announced that they were replaced by Al Rybka and Mike Thiriot respectively.

Katagory V's most recent album, "Hymns of Dissension", was released in September 2007 in Europe through Burning Star Records and in October in the U.S. on Nightmare Records.

ALL KNOWN METAL BANDS [21 Jul 2008|01:41pm]

I attended SF Zine Fest this past weekend and an event caught my eye but was unable to make it to Oakland.

It was a reading from a book called ALL KNOWN METAL BANDS, it looks interesting but it's only the names of the bands!

Moonspell Tour Dates [17 Jul 2008|10:15am]

veja
From what I gathered from my previous post on their video, some people haven't had the pleasure of seeing them live. Regardless... They have a US tour coming up and its very much worth seeing them.  Fernando (vocalist)  always has an intoxicating stage pressence along with an amazing voice.  So ladies... get out there, get into the pit, kick some ass, and watch out for some of their fans who stupidly wear spiked gauntlets in the pit.  ;)

hello I'm new :) [12 Jul 2008|11:55am]

\m/Name: Christine
\m/Age: 19
\m/Location: Bay Area, California
\m/Gender: girl

\m/Ten favorite bands(don't all have to be metal bands): this changes all the time, but at the moment -
Katatonia
Necrophagist
the Faceless
Cannibal Corpse
Opeth
Decapitated
Between the Buried and Me
Siebenburgen
Behemoth
Sun of the Sleepless

\m/Five favorite movies:
the Resident Evil trilogy
28 Days Later
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Requiem for a Dream
Trainspotting

\m/Five favorite books:
[I'm a science nerd, keep in mind...]
The Hot Zone
Level Four
Virus Hunter
An Unquiet Mind
oh...and the Bell Jar

\m/What is an interesting fact about you? Rather than being excitable during the summer, I am depressed by it. I keep my bedroom blinds shut most of the time because sun has a tendency to drain my energy. I usually only go out after the sun has set. Needless to say, I'm usually as white as paper.

\m/If you could be anything besides yourself for a day, what would you be, and why? I guess I've never really thought about this...I'm at a loss.

\m/What was the Best Metal concert you've been to? Seeing Opeth live was a life-changing experience for me.

\m/As this is a new community, please post our banner (your choice of banners below) in your own journal. If you are in a community that WELCOMES community banners, post one there as well.

\m/Post a pic of yourself. If not of yourself, then of your art, or any picture you'd like to share. If you dont have an Image Host, I suggest using one such as http://www.photobucket.com . The image must show up in your introduction, not just the link.

New Pyramaze Singer [11 Jul 2008|11:12am]

joansies
Taken from the Pyramaze Myspace:

 Dear friends

After auditioning some really good singers during
the last couple of months, we have finally found a
new band-brother -none other than singer extraordinaire
Urban breed (ex-Tad Morose) has joined our ranks, and
we are all very excited.

Urban is well known for his
powerful voice, stage presence and great diversity.


We welcome Urban into the band, and we hope that our
fantastic fans will approve of this choice too.

Trust us
when we say there's no one better to fill out the big shoes
left by his predecessors.

To those of you who do not know
Urban yet, I would like to encourage you to check out the
MP3's in the news section of
pyramaze. com - this is just a little
taste of what Urban sounds like.

Please note - the songs are
NOT new Pyramaze songs, but material from Urban's past
recordings.

Thanks for your attention, and now on to a statement
from Urban himself.



Michael Kammeyer.



-----------------------

Statement from Urban:


Hello everyone

I am very pleased to join ranks with the great guys and talented
musicians of Pyramaze.

I'm looking forward to the challenge of
filling those big shoes and working with these guys live and in the studio.


I think we have a lot to offer each other, and I hope Pyramaze fans are as
excited as we are to hear us working together.


Urban breed
