Syysmyrskyä on kyllä ihanaa kuunnella. Liikkeellä on energiaa runsain määrin, tuulessa riehuu oikeita raivottaria. Neuloskelin illansuussa pipoa paksusta langasta ja kuuntelin toisella korvalla tuulen ujellusta parvekkeen oven raoissa ja toisella Hvorostovskia. Täydellinen nautinto. Kirjoitin myös hakemuksen Kajaaniin, mikä oli raskas urakka. Onneksi sain neuvoja asioista hyvin perillä olevalta taholta. Perästä kuuluu.

Ai niin, löysin vihdoinkin kirjastosta Nightwishin videon From Wishes to Eternity. Olin aivan innoissani, mutta petyin kamalasti. Pahasti on kuuppani napsahtanut. Edes Nightwish ei ole enää mitään! She Is My Sin oli ainoa kappale, joka kolahti vieläkin. Tarja Turusen surkea englanninääntämys riipoi korvia. Video onkin aika vanha, mutta siltikin. Loppupään lisämatsku oli rasittavaa katsottavaa. Kännistä mölinää ja sekoilua. Huoh. Vielä vuosi sitten olisin varmaankin ajatellut toisin. En tiedä. Ehkä. Olen mennyt pilalle. Tai ainakin pahasti muoriutunut.

Lyrics:

in your creation heaven did decree
that in your armssweet death should dwell.

the age will say "this poet lies"
heaven never touched earthly face
the age will say "this night was ours"
blessed with the deep
the silent the complete

An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name

Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar

This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago

The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world`s unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe

Now his love`s a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow

This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind so long ago

The show went down at La Zona Rosa in Austin, on 4th Street just past Guadalupe Street. There's some good parking there, $5 for eight hours.

The VIP tickets let you in early so you could meet the band before they got ready to perform. They were handing out free posters, signing stuff. Emppu and Marco were clearly drunk already, and Anette told me that Austin's steak is some of the best she's ever had. Go figure!

Nightwish had one band open for them, Sonata Arctica. If you've not heard of them, they're another metal band coming out of Finland. They've been opening for Nightwish during their North American tour.

Note: This picture is NOT from the Zona Rosa show. Thanks, Wikipedia!

They were really good. I might consider looking into some of their stuff.

They played about a 45-minute set. Not very long, but still very good.

Then the roadies readied the stage for the real performance. Jake got a shot of the setlist:

They were incredible. Every time I see them Anette's live singing gets better and better.  More pictures!

Jake took some of these pictures with a grayscale filter on his camera, and they came out really good, in my opinion.

This is one of the most awesome poses I've ever seen.

The beard is the source of his power.

And then there's this awesome shot.

That light is clearly coming from Emppu's head. He's just that incredible. Seriously. He makes those fucking hammer-ons look easy.

More shots from the Nightwish 2008 show can be found over here.

Sadly, no Nightwish-brand condoms this year, either. All they had were T-shirts and CDs. Oh well, better luck next time.

Once again, these guys never fail to put on a spectacular show. The next show will be Kamelot in San Antonio, October 31st. Maybe they'll have band-brand condoms.

Post-show post (lol) will be up on Friday. L8rz.

Desde Finlandia llega Nightwish, una banda con más de 10 años en la discutida y a veces polémica escena del symphonic metal. Amaranth de su álbum Dark Passion Play es un sencillo que logra encerrar lo que es la banda; poderosos riffs de guitarra, atmósferas creadas con sonidos sinfónicos, un piano muy emotivo y la voz de Anette.

El video es una muy buena propuesta en donde la banda se luce bastante bien.

First impressions: The cover reminds me of Ghost in the Shell.

I've been listening to Dragonforce for a couple of years now. Dragonforce is a power metal band--some would say extreme power metal band--from the UK.They're known for having blindingly fast tempos in their songs, along with guitar solos that are played with inhuman speed. One of their most famous songs, Through the Fire and Flames, has found its way into the popular video game Guitar Hero. Their music style includes violent tempests of riffs and electronic sounds that last for 6 or more minutes (Through the Fire and Flames is a song of typical length at over 7 minutes long). Their guitarist Herman Li is said to be one of the fastest players in the business, and even their vocalist ZP Theart is capable of belting his extremely high and long screams without sounding hoarse. (I actually find Dragonforce's vocals their most impressive element.)

DF's critics say the music is either digitally accelerated or that the chords are actually just very simple; the speed is the only thing that makes it special. Yet other people decry Dragonforce's songs as templated and unoriginal; one only has to look at their lyrics sheets to see this. (It's true, by the way. Sometimes they even recycle their song titles in the lyrics of other songs.)

Whether you like them or not, Dragonforce has a couple of unique elements that makes their music instantly identifiable:

-Like many metal acts, DF's themes and lyrics have a very heavy fantasy feel about them. Although their sound is neither distinctly epic metal like Rhapsody of Fire (whose music contains elements that could've been in the LotR soundtrack) and is definitely not symphonic metal like Nightwish, their lyrics contain a lot of references to warriors fighting evil, epic battles, and scenes of apolcalyptic destruction.

-The electronic snythed sounds that find their way into the songs sound like they were taken straight out of video games. This is especially true of Ultra Beatdown. A couple of the songs from this album, namely E.P.M., Strike of the Ninja, and The Warrior Inside have intros that really sound like typical synthed video game music. In fact, The Warrior Inside begins with something that I swear was in a Super Mario soundtrack somewhere, though as a whole, the song sounds it would likely be a theme song for May from Guilty Gear.

And no, as far as I can tell, Dragonforce doesn't have satanic lyrics. (I pay close attention to the lyrics of any song I listen to.) If anything their songs have lyrics like "And we will crush the evil standing on the temple" and "My soul and my spirit will go on for all of eternity." Listening to their music makes me think of scenes of Armageddon, but the Armageddon as depicted in the Bible: With good winning over evil.

Ultra Beatdown has some really silly lyrics, though (which I find refreshing, honestly.)

Feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja will carry the light

That really cracked me up.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying Ultra Beatdown. It may be unoriginal and templated, but I listen to it for the adrenaline rush anyway. If I wanted poetry in the song I'd listen to Nightwish instead. It makes for good workout music, especially when you're pounding away on the treadmill and need a little boost to finish the last hundred or so meters. Of course, as my friend Mac said, Dragonforce makes for very dangerous driving music. It's the kind of music that makes you want to drive constantly at 120 kph during rush hour (and go for 180 if nobody else is on the road).

However, due to the lack of any sort of metal in this country's legitimate record dealers makes one err, go to great lengths to acquire such CDs. I even had one of my students purchase Nightwish's Century Child and Dark Passion Play in Singapore because I wanted to support the artists. Our local record stores have nothing but OPM (which is good), Pinoy Rock (Which has gotten very stale as of late. Pinoy Rock was great in the 90s, but now lacks passion and originality. ), and that hellspawn jologs music.

Urgh. The Philippines: Where you have to be trashy to be popular.
