Review : Shining - V - Halmstad

unforgiven-001 — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 17:47:18 GMT

Culmination of Suicidal/Depressive Black Metal

Shining is the band that have no borders to expose the feelings and emotions, even if the group has been labelled suicidal/depressive black metal, the musicians use some non-Black Metal instruments such as piano and acoustic guitars showing no limits or rules for Kvarforth to obey. The first 4 full-length albums were just great and album by album Shining were getting more experienced and skilled, but it seems Niklas wasn't satisfied with the tool box since he almost changed all the band members and this lead some fans thinking whether the next album would be a disappointment. Well the answer is simply "HELL NO".

Kvarforth's vocals in V - Halmstad are really impressive, even something more thanthat. It's as if the listener were emotionally being controlled by the singer.The female vocals could be better. In " Låt Oss Ta Allt från Varandra" she cries in a weird way but still gives an impressive performance.

The use of acoustic guitar provides an inner feeling ready to explode. Kvarfoth's explosion of depression and hatred after acoustic guitar in "Neka Morgondagen" really makes the listener shiver. The same use of acoustic guitar appears in "Längtar Bort från Mitt Hjärta" creating a similar atmosphere in that song as well.

The only Instrumental track is "Åttiosextusenfyrahundra" which is a short rip-off from the Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" without any anger nor hatred in it but, nevertheless, still in the coverage of album's atmosphere. All tracks are really great but if I had to choose 3 highlights from the tracklist, these would be "Neka Morgondagen", "Låt Oss Ta Allt från Varandra" and "Besvikelsens Dystra Monotoni". The cover art really fits the album as well with its allusions to hatred, anger and depression.

The band's performance is really great in such a genre. In most depressive/suicidal black metal bands one can't even tell the difference between the passages of, let's say, bass and rhythm guitars. Nevertheless, having skilled musicians and Kvarforth's vocals make Shining a unique band in it's own genre. V - Halmstad is one of those rare must-be-heard albums for the fans of suicidal/depressive black metal and those who like songs which create depressive ,hateful and suicidal atmosphere

Elend - Moon Of Amber

Umbra,
We watch the Moon of Amber
And again, the Garden mourns its silent dream
Unguarded, some fragments of light linger in your sky
Were we like sublunary lovers
Straying on the seas of your heart
Sailing down the streams of your mind
Soothing your marble face anew
Dim... in the shadows of our sun
We have been blinded by agony
Our dazzling eyes empty of stars
Our voices wordless with fear
Our ears so envious of deafening
Our withdrawing souls longing for death
We drowned in a Moon of Amber

سایه

ما مهتابه کهربایی را مینگریم

و دوباره,باغ,به سوگواریه رویای خموشش مینشیند

بی حفاظ,تکه هایی از روشنایی در آسمانت تقلی میکنند برای ماندن

همانند دو عاشق زیر مهتاب بودیم

سرگردانی بروی دریاهای قلبت

دریانوردی درون جریانهای ذهنت

آرام کردن چهره مرمریت

تاریک,در زیر سایهء آفتابمان

از رنج و عذاب کور شده ایم

چشمان خیره کننده مان خالی از ستاره اند

صدایمان بدون حرف و با ترس و لرز

گوشمان در حسرت شنیدن صدا

روحهای در حال خروجمان مشتاق مرگند

در مهتابی کهربایی غرق شدیم

Global Metal - 2008

unforgiven-001 — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:16:23 GMT

In GLOBAL METAL, directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn set out to discover how the West's most maligned musical genre - heavy metal - has impacted the world's cultures beyond Europe and North America. The film follows metal fan and anthropologist Sam Dunn on a whirlwind journey through Asia, South America and the Middle East as he explores the underbelly of the world's emerging extreme music scenes; from Indonesian death metal to Chinese black metal to Iranian thrash metal. GLOBAL METAL reveals a worldwide community of metalheads who aren't just absorbing metal from the West - they're transforming it - creating a new form of cultural expression in societies dominated by conflict, corruption and mass-consumerism

Review on Swallow the Sun - New Moon

unforgiven-001 — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:33:18 GMT

That's What I Expected From Swallow the Sun

Swallow the Sun is a Finnish Melodic Death/Doom Metal band.The Band's first work was a Demo Album released in 2003 named "Out Of This Gloomy Light".Then their first full-length album was released in the same year.The album got many top rated reviews and Swallow the Sun was introduced to Doom Metal's world.When their second album was released it got the number 8 on the Finnish album charts.The band did gigs in Finland and aboard.They worked hard and increased their skills and when the "Hope" was released in 2007 it climbed to number 3 on the Official Finnish Album Chart.A year later their EP album "Plague of Butterflies" was released.the album was in Number 1 spot on the Finnish charts in its first week.Now after a year Swallow the Sun is back with "New Moon".Till know this album has been reviewed in many websites and most of reviews have given the album a top rate.Now here is my short review of album and some tracks

As many (or all) of you know,Swallow the Sun has released their 4th Full-Length album entitled "New Moon".The title of the album has nothing to do with the so called movie "New Moon".If you listen to this album for times and care about the lyrics you'll notice that this is the title that fits the album

The band has released some great albums before,but now swallow the Sun is shining more than ever.With some changes in vocals and guitars and drums (Drums was better before in my opinion),Swallow the Sun is becoming more flexible to expose their feeling.For Mikko Kotamäki's Vocals I have to say his Harsh vocals is great,but greater is his clean vocals.The highlights of his clean vocals are in two tracks "New Moon" and "Falling World".Guitars are more in a melancholic and slow/heavy mood than before.But with changing drummer I guess the drum hits has became predictable

: My Favorite Tracks

Track "Lights on the Lake (Horror pt iii)" maybe is what I expected from Swallow the Sun,or maybe is more than what I expected. The first time you listen to this track you'll be waiting for Mikko to start vocals,but you'll get surprised with the female vocal.The female weak clean voice has really made the song more emotional

Track "New Moon" is the 6th track in their 8-track album.Mikko's Clean vocal and the music itself clearly show some changes in Swallow the Sun which I mentioned at first.I'm sure Progressive Metal/Rock fans will enjoy this track

Track "And The Heavens Cried Blood" is a good keyboard experience. if you have noticed Mikko has two different harsh vocal types.one type is really close to black metal vocals,and the other is the type we hear in most death/doom metal band.Changing from on type of singing to the other is really difficult and that's what Mikko has done perfectly.Not only for this song,the whole album is really in control of Mikko's vocal

Track "Falling world" is one of those popular tracks,I mean even those who don't like swallow the sun will enjoy this track.Excellent guitar riffs and vocals.Especially clean vocals in this track.the lyric and music accompany vocals to draw a world that really is falling

Maybe you will see some changes in this album,but the band's attitude and lyrical themes are almost the same.Most song are about grief,death,horror and the atmosphere is kinda hopeless,melancholic and aggressive

New Moon is not perfect in all respects,but surely it's a masterpiece in Melodic Doom/Death Metal and the best Swallow the Sun album till now

Review on Radiohead's Paranoid Android

unforgiven-001 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:29:18 GMT

همه چیز از اون بعد از ظهره شروع شد.زمانی که تام یورک بعد از غروب آفتاب به یک بار در لس آنجلس رفت.اما آنچه که در بار اتفاق افتاد به کابوسی شبانه برای تام بدل شد.خودش در مورده اون مکان اینچنین میگه : "مردمی که من توی اون بار دیدم انگار اهریمنانی بودند که از سیاره ایی دیگه اومده بودند."

تام که بعد از ترک کردن اون بار به هتل رفته بود و احساس امنیت میکرد در مورده فضای اون بار اینجور حرفشو ادامه میده : "هرکسی سعی میکرد که چیزی از وجودم بگیره.احساس میکردم که در حضور خودم و جلوی چشمای خودم دارم غش میکنم و از حال میرم.اما در عین حال خودمو بطور کامل بخشی ازش میدونستم که هر لحظه امکان داغون شدنش وجود داشت."

آن شب الهام بخش Paranoid Android شد.این آهنگ فضایی که مخلوطی از زیبایی سودا زده و عصب نمایی هست رو برای مخاطب خلاصه میکنه.آهنگی که با خروشهای گیتار اکوستیک و الکتریک همراهه.در اواخر آهنگ همه اعضای گروه باهم همخوانی میکنند که فضایی رو ایجاد میکنه که انگار همه تقاضای بخششی بهشتی میکنند.

تام در مورد آهنگ میگه که : "انگار خودتو با خدا مواجه میکنی.نمیدونم.واقعا همه اش مربوط به اون شبه تو باره.ما(گروه) ماهها روی این آهنگ تمرین کردیم.اما متن شعر این آهنگ رو من ساعت 5 صبح همون روز نوشتم.داشتم سعی میکردم که بخوابم اما این صداها منو ول نمیکردن.صدای آدمهایی که توی بار دیدم.بعدها فهمیدم که اونجا یه جای خیلی بدنامی بوده.اساسا این آهنگ در مورده هرجو مرجه"

همونطور که در بالا از زبان تام یورک براتون نوشتم,صداهایی در ذهن تام میپیچیده که راحتش نمیزاشتند.اگه به اول متن شعر هم توجه کنیم متوجه این موضوع میشیم :

پارانوید آندروید آهنگییه از سومین آلبوم استودیویی گروه به نام OK Computer.متن شعر که هم طنز آمیز هم غمگینه اول توسط تام یورک نوشته شد.مدت زمان پخش این آهنگ 6 دقیقه و 23 ثانیه هست و ویدئویی هم برای این آهنگ ساخته شده.کل متن شعر از چهار بخشه مجزا تشکیل شده که بطور قابله توجهی تحت تاثیر آهنگه Happiness Is a Warm Gun از گروه The Beatles میباشد.

نام Paranoid Android از کتابه Marvin the Paranoid Android گرفته شده.کتابی به نویسندگیه Douglas Adams که سری کتابهایی با نام The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy از آثارشه.

پارانوید آندروید وقتی به عنوان تک آهنگ (Single) اصلیه OK Computer منتشر شد توانست رتبه سوم UK Singles Chart رو از آن خودش بکنه.در بسیاری از بررسیها و نقدهای وارد به خود آهنگ و یا آلبوم,پارانوید آندروید توانست جایگاه بالایی رو در بین منتقدین بدست بیاره.

این آهنگ توانست در بسیاری از لیستهای بهترین آهنگهای دنیا جای بگیره.مانند Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

موزیک ویدئوی انیمیشنی این آهنگ هم به کارگردانیه Magnus Carlsson در MTV البته با سانسور نمایش داده شد.بعد از رلیز شدن این آهنگ خیلی از گروهها با سبکهای مختلف این آهنگو کاور کردند.

گیتار سولویی که در آخر آهنگ شنیده میشه توسط Jonny Greenwood نوشته شده بود.این سولو برای پارانوید آندروید نوشته نشده بوده,اما چون یه چیزی برای اتمام آهنگ کم بوده و از اونجایی که این سولو با ریتم و تمپوی آهنگ همخوانی داشته ازش در اواخر آهنگ استفاده کردند.

پارانوید آندروید در اوایل (قبل از رلیز آلبوم سوم) آهنگی تقریبا" 15 دقیقه ایی بود که ریدیوهد در تور Alanis Morissette این آهنگو خیلی زدن که فکر کنم همین قضیه باعث شد که روش بیشتر کار کنند و کوتاهترش کنند تا برای آلبوم OK Computer آماده بشه.البته اون زمان که آهنگ 15 دقیقه ایی بود بسیاری از ایستگاههای رادیویی از گروه خواستند که این آهنگو کمی کوتاه ترش بکنند که ریدیوهد قبول نکرد.

تاثیر ریدیوهد و مخصوصا آلبوم OK Computer در بسیاری از گروهها مشهوده.گروههایی مانند Coldplay و Keane و Snow Patrol و... که همه اینها نشاندهنده ظرفیت بالا و تاثیر بسزای ریدیوهد در Alternative Rock میباشد.

در آخر هم متن شعر این اهنگو میزارم که بدلیل ساده بودن نیازی به ترجمه نمیبینم :

Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's this? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)l
What's this? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)l

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
with your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's this? (I may be paranoid, but no android)l
What's this? (I may be paranoid, but no android)l

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking, squealing, gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name? I guess he does...

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me

That's it sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah
