Ghost B.C. Meloria album review

Ghost and Disturbed released an album on the same day, but were both of them met with equal publicity? probably not as Disturbed have a bigger fanbase, anyways onto the review.

No question about it, each song has its own signature to it. The first song of the album which is titled 'spirit', focuses on synths and gives an eerie feel to the song. it has choir like vocals in the background and it sounds double tracked. both give an spooky sort of feel to the song.

the next song is called 'From The Pinnacle To The Pit' is more upbeat and has a sort of groove sort of feel to it with the bass sound. In a sense it sounds like older metal (classic metal) I think they did a good job with this song.

Now onto perhaps my favourite song of the album, 'Cirice' although it sounds a tad like the previous song style wise. It is a catchy song, even the slow chorus with piano doesn't take away from the epicness of the song.

The next song is 'He Is' sounds like an old pop song, you know when pop was actually good; and maybe a tad country and atmospheric sounding too. Overall I think this song has many genres to it. I like the idea that the song sounds cheerful but the lyrics are dark. The idea of this song and how it fits together is beautiful.

Although 'Majesty' sounds similar to the song 'He Is' the lyrics are more satanic in nature. Though, some may argue that 'He is' is also satanic, Its whatever you identify with and isn't intentionally satanic. Whereas 'Majesty' is intentionally satanic.

overall this album is really good, the whole album fits together well and obviously that is a good thing. What are your thoughts of the album? I'd like to know

Disturbed album review

Here it is, The long awaited review for the new disturbed album. The album as a whole has a political and anti media essence to it. For example the song 'The Vengeful One' is about the media and how it is used as propaganda by politicians(American ones)

Their song Open your eyes is again about the media and how its used by politicians as propaganda. this time its aimed at the people who believe everything they say.

the next song, 'The Light' is about going through a dark time and how not to give up even when you feel like there is nothing left. which is true and I like the way they word this song.

their cover 'The Sound Of Silence' is amazing, David has such a good voice and fits this song. for the few of you who haven't heard of the sound of silence, look it up.

the song tyrant seems to be about a feud between two people, possibly family members. I still think this song has elements of politics with things like "turn the screams into silence", hints that the west agreed to stop broadcasting these attacks.

a very political song is legion of monsters, about how putting murderers and terrorists on the news paper and focusing on them its creating more just like them.

overall this album is amazing and i'm glad they are back. As usual Disturbed haven't failed to impress us. I know I didn't review all the songs, well because I didn't know what to put for them.

Aurelio Voltaire

Voltaire or Aurelio Voltaire (both the same person) is a Dark Cabaret musician. For those of you who do not know about Dark Cabaret, it is theatrical sort of genre. It tells a story, and can sometimes be cheerful and upbeat.

anyway back to Voltaire, he's one of the few more known artists in this genre and he likes to experiment with different genres. with him, no two albums sound the same. perhaps his most well known song is 'When You're Evil' which was featured on Kim Possible and the grim adventures of billy and Mandy. Or his song Brains which was also featured on the grim adventures of billy and Mandy. Which was how I got into Voltaire. He is worth a listen, \m/

Bands Worth Listening To

These bands are in no order of popularity and have random genre's:

Heart Impaled- going with what their twitter says they're a heavy metal band

Visions Of The Night: black metal

Disappearer- rock/punk

Our Last Enemy - I am assuming they are Metalcore due to the record label they're with (eclipse records)

Kobaloi - they have more than one sub genre (death, thrash, groove)

Craigh - I do not know which metal genre they are ,but they are still worth a listen.

Dark Beauty - they're a gothic/ dark cabaret styled band

Voltaire/Aurelio Voltaire - They are both the same person; although he is mainly Dark Cabaret he implements different genres into his music.

Van Canto - They are a Metal themed a Capella band; Yes you read correctly, I am picky when it comes to music but this style really fits.

Disturbed are back and are hopefully here to stay

Yes you guessed it this post will be all about Disturbed, the very band a lot of us grew up with and was our gateway to other bands in the metal genre.

The band officially became Disturbed in 1996, even in the beginning they were successful with well known songs like 'Down With The Sickness' on their first album The Sickness.  from there they have had great success as a band.

their front man David Draiman who so many recognize lists his main influences as James Hetfield, Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson. It is easy to see why these people who make up the holy trinity of rock and metal would be the choice for Draiman. Even before the formation of the band Draiman he showed his caring side as he worked as a healthcare administrator after getting his licence.

Mike Wengren who plays drums worked on a side project with Dan Donegan called Fight or flight. I am unsure whether this side project is still running or not though.

Dan Donegan was in a band called Vandal which was an 80s style hair band, he also played in loudmouth for a while. He was the one who founded the band Disturbed.

I will not post anything about personal life as it is unfair to these musicians, feel free to share, comment and message me your thoughts through my twitter @long_marley.
