Was macht eigentlich bei Ferris MC nach seinem Ausstieg bei so?

🎵 Die Goldene Ära by
https://song.link/y/sEFjAUhkOEc

Offensichtlich ist er häuslich geworden, und mit diesem Album scheint er sich dafür zu rechtfertigen.

@trendskater ich hab ihn seit dem Ausstieg bei DK nicht mehr wirklich verfolgt.

Is it just me or has the quality of new metal music dipped a bit this year? There’s some good stuff but not a lot of absolute standouts for me so far.

derthomas,
@derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

@HailsandAles
Yeah you might be right. So far I have 2 absolute standouts this year (Priest and Xion) followed by a couple of really good ones like Coltre, Cloven Hoof, Exhorder, Dickinson, ...well actually this year is good too. But 2023 had Obituary 🤷

Russia has basically bought and funded almost all European far-right parties. I am not the least bit surprised https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/06/03/russia-europe-far-right-espionage/

@derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

@MetalheadDana unfortunately not only the far right. Also the far left and the conservative over the course of the last 20 years.

Correction: they might not have funded them in the same way as they do now with the right wing parties.

@MetalheadDana it was cringeworthy how so many pololiticians from the socialist and communist* party in Austria had a hard time distancing themselves from Putin.

*yes they really are a thing in Austria and are quite strong regionally because they do down to earth politics FOR the people.

There is a newish charging station in the town center of Szombathely (🇭🇺), and it actually works and is not occupied by ICE cars!
I am equally impressed as I am surprised!
Also it seems like they reduced the prices per kWh to 225HUF (~0,57€)

I am once again in dire need of a palate cleanser after listening to Sonata Arctica.

I don't know Sonata Arctica and I didn't know about their existence until @Dad_Wood tooted about them.

Judging from the name and the artwork I expected Nightwish style melodic/symphonic metal from Finland 🇫🇮

Turns out the latter was correct, and for the other stuff?

Well, I guess I need to find out, and there is only one way to do this properly... 🤘

Kicking things off with their debut

Moving on. The next album on my #SonataArctica #Metaljourney is "The Ninth Hour". After two terrible dissapointments, I am hoping for the best.

I enjoyed the first half of "The Ninth Hour".

And then comes this...

🎵 Candle Lawns by #SonataArctica
https://song.link/y/b_kDlAA5i2A

...and my toenails are all curled up.

#TomsMusic #Metaljourney

@derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

26/n

Ok I have to confess, I never liked symphonic melodic metal. I never liked Nightwish or Within Temptation and consorts.

The Ninth Hour is exactly this. And suuuuper cheesy. Cringeworthy cheesy.

It has some good songs in the beginning though, that's why I'll give it 2/5.

Ranking:

  1. Unia 3.5
  2. Days of Grays 3
  3. Reckoning Night 2.5
  4. Winterheart's Guild 2.5
  5. Silence 2.5
  6. Ecliptica 2.5
  7. The 9th Hour 2
  8. Pariah's Child 2
  9. Stones... 1

Addon to The Ninth Hour...

@Dad_Wood you made me listen to this band... you made me listen to THIS FUCKING SONG??? 👇

https://song.link/y/JwMH1tbayFs

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

...ok I am a bit dramatic now, they do have good songs and enjoyable albums. But gosh... their lows are really low. And corny.

@Hadeur ja, das ist gar nicht mal so gut. @Dad_Wood

derthomas,
@derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

@Dad_Wood das verstehe ich schon, die sind zeitweise echt kurzweilig und mir macht diese Metaljourney auch Spaß!
Manche Lieder sind nur extrem hart anzuhören, so kitschig ist das.
@Hadeur

derthomas, (edited )
@derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

@Dad_Wood
Best of kann ja jeder 😉
Aber ja, es ist schon zeitintensiv und geht nur wenn ich mal Phasen mit weniger Meetings habe. Zu lange Pausen sind nämlich auch schlecht, dann verlierst du den Flow irgendwie. Aber es ist schon faszinierend zu sehen, wie sich eine Band entwickelt.
Bei Amorphis war es ähnlich. Meine liebsten Journeys waren Death, Carcass und Type-O-Negative. Und eigentlich auch Amorphis.

Two albums left on my #SonataArctica #Metaljourney and I am wondering if they'll be able to make me like them again.

The album is called Talviyö and starts with a message from the sun.

🎵 Message from the Sun by Sonata Arctica
https://song.link/y/gEq5oTmycGY

#TomsMusic

derthomas,
@derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

29/n

Ok, so far Talviyö is less corny symphonicy than the previous albums. It's more on the hard rocky ballady side.

🎵 Storm The Armada by #SonataArctica
https://song.link/at/i/1471621326

I'd still wish for another Unia though...

Hey what's that? I like that one! 👇

🎵 Ismo's Got Good Reactors by Sonata Arctica
https://song.link/y/q-l_JLBJVPw

That's some really nice guitar works and.... and probaly my favourite #SonataArctica song on my #Metaljourney

But that song title confuses me tbh. Is Ismo the finish energy provider? And what reactors do they use that ares so good? 🤔

#TomsMusic

@derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

Talviyö closes with a typical Sonata Arctica style balad, however overall the album is less corny than the previous ones

There's some nice riffing which makes this album really enjoyable.

Overall a solid 3/5
