Good morning Today, I know, I neglect you for a long time as the evil power of Fantasy Sports drained the last of my energy ... im back and I can see you present with an extraordinary selection of songs. What shall I say Amr Diab, The Duskfall, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Opeth and Persuader, few of the finest bands I have in my repertoire.
Starting with an accoustic song from Alfred Polansky, excellent guitar play with a touch of Spanish, very relaxing tune. Kind of music that you listen to in the sunset with a glas of whiskey contemplating about life. Something funny on the side, if you search for Alfred Polansky over Google, oh yeah ... unholy Today is the top search result. Is this the beginning of the unholy crusade of Today ?
We are turning to Pop and Amr Diab and a very catchy guitar part in the middle of the song, bit slow ... Id probably know why if I could understand the lyrics.
The next song catches my attention as the "synthi" part is quite good, the growls in German took the atmosphere a bit and a sudden switch in language bit later as well. Im not so familiar with Dissection, but this was a solid Black Metal song with nice double base parts.
May I introduce you to The Duskfall, incredibly amazing band that caught my heart since I was listening to their first song from Frailty. The vocals suit this kind of music so well and the fast parts are well done again, im just missing the melodic touch in this album ... there are other songs from The Duskfall that knock you out of the chair.
From Black to Death to Black ... might be a song title, nevertheless Enthroned surrounds me with an image as id im standing on the battlefield, no vocals on this track though. The keyboard tune in the next song from Eternal Tears of Sorrow stick out and all in all this is good Melodic Death Metal track, suprising change from clean to growls in the start of the song as well.
Ah well ... my heart goes boom, or rather my "old" heart goes boom when I listened to this all time classic from French Affair. At least in this part of the world it was impossible to not hear this song when it got released in 2000. You know what its still cool :)
The next song from The Gathering taken of their Live album Superheat surprised me a bit, as I was taken to the sinister deep of darkness and then back to the sky where the sun rays stroke your face ... ah well, maybe im not still awake, that song kinda caught me.
And my pair of music history is on the list again, Iron Maiden with Sanctuary and Judas Priest with One Shot at Glory :). We are taken to the very early days of Iron Maiden and even if the song is taken from the later compilation you can clearly hear that its an old recording ... love that. It seems only songs from Painkiller make it on my list ... (low thundering rumble in the background) ... ok, I mean im blessed with songs taken from Painkiller and that album is great indeed :).
So here we are on the peak of the my olymp of music, Opeth an extraordinary band that accompany for so many years already. The first song from their first album sparkles with intensive growls from Akerfelt and amazing parts on guitar and drums. Dont be scared of the 14 min, this band takes you on a journey from hard and sinister metal parts to melodic breaks where you can let your soul rest in the sound waves ... <3

now its time to get ready for the concert tonight as INDIRA RADIC is on stage ... YEAH !!!

Sacrifi-sir
