I think you'd like Virgin Black a lot

but in order of importance, home ownership is the #1 biggest waste of money

Probably the albums Sombre Romantic and Requiem - Mezzo Forte the most

"but I'll own it!" no you won't. "But at least it's mine, I can do whatever I want to it!" No you can't, the HOAs, building codes and ordinances have you pinned down tighter than a german's puckered asshole

1. The Fragile Breath

Amorous eyes, crippling word I bring
Grief vents itself more violently
The hour of parting is at hand
Hope, your warmth failed
The famished are here, forsaken
Fleeting, fading, the fragile
Fading, the fragile
It drinks deep into the soul
Drinks deep into the soul
Fleeting, fading, the fragile
It drinks deep into my soul
Drinks deep into my soul
Drink me deep

That slow part is repeated as a motif

The slow lead bit

freedom is not what most people think freedom is

And it's expressed on piano in the outro

I'm not going to debate this it's stupid

you do not know as much as me about any of this

To show the development of the theme in a sense

Minimalized to show the process of grief

What remains after the wind blows away the stubble of autumn

That's on Requiem - Fortissimo, the death metal album

the singer needs to stop sliding his voice around

if you autotune this guy this would be great

But the same motif is on Mezzo Forte however

He's a classically trained tenor afaik

I have a good ear for this

I privately think a bass-baritone would be more appropriate but I think he's a great singer

maybe he is doing it on purpose

likely he is

I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just saying it's pointless to start a battle about everything

like fuck does every internet conversation have to be war

do you or any other people in this chat have any idea how much you could learn from me, and how much it would directly and indirectly benefit your life, if you actually heard me out for a change?

in the last 15 minutes I have told you enough to permanently improve your whole family's financial future

I am so generous with you people

Actually most of the albums seem to concern misery, suffering and its culmination into the dark night of the soul, with glimpses of the light of God shining through the rusted armour of the faith

It's very hopeful music in spite of being crushing

Heavy

one thing I like about the virgin black guy's voice is his vibrato is high frequency

although considering the pace of these songs he could probably use slower vibrato and add to the heaviness of the song, but then it would blend too much with the guitars

but on that basis I think he has a quite agile voice he is itching to show off

Perhaps he sings a bit much toward his strengths

Yeah

When I saw them live as an opener for Opeth (they're much better than Opeth) people were yelling stuff like AYY PLAY SOME METAL YA FUCKEN SOFTCOCK

you know I had a voice teacher who unironically thought vibrato was pitch change?

.

that comes across like riding a bike without a tube
