    So, got around to trying Angra?

    Oh and by the way, what do you think of Nightwish?

    I probably won't be trying it out for this week... there's a lunge of work :(.

    Tried their Highest Hopes album and liked most of them, if that's saying anything...

    Too bad. What sort of work is it?

    Their albums Once and Wishmaster would be worth a try, then. It's high quality sympho/power/gothic mixture.

    1.2k word essay on Leon Trotsky, mass reading and notes for all other subjects :D.

    That would have to go up my backlog.

    Shitty wouldn't even begin to describe the way that sounds. >.<
    Alright, that's what I was hoping.

    Plus, my school just got a new very strict head teacher for 3 of my 7 subjects from a RIVAL SCHOOL.

    Life is about to get a hell lot worse.

    Well, I guess we'll talk more when you're done with this stuff. If you survive...

    Oh I'd survive for sure! The problem is, I'd probably be mentally exhausted by then. :p

    That's not an issue, maybe in that state you'll be more open to calm, quiet music. ^^

    Oh I'm totally ready for some, RIGHT NOW!

    Came back from school totally depressed around 2:30 ago (as time of writing).

    Must write a 500 word essay and send it to the teacher TODAY (it's 7:30pm right now).
    I'm slightly behind in note taking in some subjects.
    A <1500 words essay due Tuesday next week.
    A behemoth 2.5k research + process log + research proposal + reading to be done in the next 10 weeks, on top of all other work.

    FML.

    State selective high school -_-

    The first one could suit my purpose, the second one's second half may be a bit too loud in contrast to the first half, and the third is quite epic imo and perhaps too attractive for my own good.

    Wow. I guess you need extremely minimalistic music.

    Here you go, try #2:

    The last one is most likely too noisy for you, but it's worth a shot.

    #1 & 4 sounded like noise...

    2 & 3 are pretty suitable for my purpose (I've got a slight headache this morning). Guess they're going up my backlog.

    Just for the record, what are the two albums I was supposed to get? I remember some random band and some random album from Nightwish...

    Hello, fellow metalheads. I came across a band that I am very curious to see what BOTH of you thinks of them. They are Melodeath, but... I dunno. Take a listen to both songs.



    For some reason, thought of you when I heard both of those. hahaha

    BOOOOOOOOOOOCH!

    Didn't listen to them yet but I have to post these:

    Veiled in Scarlet - Idealism. MDM from JAPAN and KICKING ASS. Very Asian melodies but also VERY GOOD.

    Valtari - Fragments of a Nightmare. Somewhat aggressive MDM. Sweet as cake too :D.

    Remnants of the Fallen - Perpetual Immaturity. Awesome beyond comprehension.

    Frosty Eve - Polar Night. Chinese earth-shattering MDM in terms of sheer catchy-ness of the instruments and melody. I'll pm you the links.

    Btw you MUST listen to this:

    Hmm.

    Those Satariel songs were alright, better than what I expected when I saw melodeath. The second song was much better than the first, though.

    This alien song was weird. I really liked the music, but the lyrics were pretty... bad/weird. >.<

    Reverend Bizarre was good, only listened to half of it so far, but it's quite interesting. I was hoping for some kind of climactic part, but it's good doom metal. :>

    I've got something very interesting for you (since it might be too much for gunxsword :Đ). It's pretty much extreme prog metal with some melodeath influences. And full of awesomeness.
