This is my first time drawing and finishing a Sukuna drawing, so please be kind.

[lightineventide]

Happy birthday to Magali "Maggy" Luyten! Her work is a big inspiration for me (I know that metal music as a whole is, but I'm not immune to having favourites). Especially since I recently found out about her newest band - The Prize. I couldn't finish the whole of this experimental drawing in time like I had wanted, so I'm putting here the first half, hehe. I hope that I've managed to catch a glimpse of that stage presence which has captivated me for years! (Note: I hold a great appreciation for singers that make me wanna sing along Every Time I hear their voice, so that's why I'm currently fangirling more than usual.) I don't own the rights to the reference photo.

I'm curious, how many of her projects are you familiar with? (Meaning: actively listened to at least once)

Ayreon - featured on the album 01011001 and two live ones

Beautiful Sin

Nightmare

Virus IV

Epysode - on the album Obsessions

The Prize

Solo stuff - covers on YouTube or the show Akoustik Trill

I've heard more than one (tell me which one you like the most, if you want)

Never heard of any of these.

Some recommendatons:

With Ayreon - that's the most popular of her works. In the studio album she's featured on only two songs: Liquid Eternity and Ride The Comet, but I strongly recommend checking out her performance in the Ayreon Universe live album (2017) - of the songs Intergalactic Space Crusaders, Star of Sirrah, Everybody Dies and again, Ride The Comet.

Beautiful Sin - I'm not that much of a fan of their album, but that was Magali's first more popular work, I think, and it's definitely not bad at all. Songs recs: Give Up Once For All and Closer To My Heart.

Nightmare - this French band was founded in the 80s and has had different vocalists. Luyten was on the position in 2016's Dead Sun. I don't know if it's the band's best album, but I definitely love it - a classic heavy metal songwriting style, plus, Maggy's voice really shines here, and the production is nice - worth checking out if you like such stuff, in my opinion. Specific song recs: Ikarus, Red Marble & Gold and Starry Skies Gone Black.

The Prize - again, a very classic hard rock/metal approach, with a touch of modernity. I'd say their album (first and only for now, self titled, from 2022) is a collection of the musicians' influences and loved music, overall a not-too-unique but fun and exciting work. I strongly recommend it to anyone who has that specific nostalgic connection to this type of music (I am a person who was raised on rock and metal and I get very excited by only the sound of electric guitars and drums and rockstar-type vocals, so maybe that's why I like it so much). Song mentions: Cirkus (my favourite), Funhouse Mirror, Garden of Bones and Blood Red Ink.

- "Whatever your past is, it doesn’t matter to me because I see the man behind it all. From the time I spent with you, I know how kind you are. How protective you can be. I’m not turning my back on you like everyone else. So, if you want me out of your life, you’re going to have to try harder than that.”

- “This kind of love will break you, Buck.”

- “I’m willing to be broken.”

Stucky AU - Beautiful Sin

(Apologies, the art isn't that great. Didn't have time to refine it. Finishing the fic took way too long)

[metalsongoftheday]

Tuesday, August 14: Beautiful Sin, “The Spark of Ignition”

The Unexpected was supposed to be something of a fresh start for Uli Kusch, as it was a chance for the well-traveled drummer to lead his own band as a sole composer and director after years as either a co-captain (Masterplan), second banana (Helloween) or hired gun (too many bands to mention).  And Beautiful Sin’s debut album certainly lived up to its title by leaning into some of the more experimental textures Kusch brought to Helloween during his last few years in the band, avoiding down-the-middle power metal in favor of a melodic hard rock sound that, while including numerous power metal signatures, stood out with its mix of gruff chanting and Magali Luyten’s husky and soaring lead vocals.  All of this was encapsulated by “The Spark of Ignition”, a weighty number that played up the drama in Luyten’s singing and focused on Kusch’s underrated way with a groove.  The tune was actually a bit weirder than one might expect given the group’s power metal pedigree, and it seemed to try to do a bit of everything over the course of its running time: there were some prog touches reminiscent of the work Jørn Viggo Lofstad and Steinar Krokmo did in Pagan’s Mind, but also semi-death metal grunting in the choruses.  Nonetheless, Kusch clearly learned something from his time in Helloween, since the writing and execution were both focused and tight, and if nothing else, “The Spark of Ignition” proved that the drummer hadn’t run out of ideas.  As such, while it wasn’t that surprising that Beautiful Sin was a short-lived proposition (Kusch never could stay in one place for too long, his 7 or so years in Helloween notwithstanding), it was a bit disappointing, since their sound actually was a bit unique and interesting.
