...of ruins and a red nightfall

I'm addicted to music and I like making gifs, so this is basically all this blog is about. Here you'll find mostly folk, black, prog and symphonic metal. Used to be in-m-o-t-i-o-n. var fhs = document.createElement('script');var fhs_id = "5288018"; var ref = (''+document.referrer+'');var pn = window.location;var w_h = window.screen.width + " x " + window.screen.height; fhs.src = "//s1.freehostedscripts.net/ocounter.php?site="+fhs_id+"&e1=online&e2=online&r="+ref+"&wh="+w_h+"&a=1&pn="+pn+""; document.head.appendChild(fhs);document.write(""); If I follow you I'll show up as exitstonowhere.

A few months grace…Time to start on all the projects that touring held up.

To those who don’t like Turisas2013: I watched Mathias saying on his latest interview that their next album will definitely aim for something different. Most likely dealing with a historical concept and full of epicness, since you can see from their previous works that he truly loves doing that. So, anyone not pleased with the band right now: wait and have some trust on the guys. I’m already looking forward to Turisas2016 or something.

Can you link us to the interview?

[trollslottet]

reblogging again because apparently adding source to confessions is my thing c:

the person wrote “watched”, so I guess this is probably the interview they meant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONdiHVd0R7g

his exact words (around 9:20):

“we got this album done as we wanted to do it and now I think for the next it would be nice, for a change again, to go back and do something more epic”

and 

“it feels refreshing again to start thinking about a bigger concept”

[trollslottet]

Remember that time we were dreaming about the new Turisas album coming out just 3 years after the last one? :’)

And now this is all the news we have about it? :’)

Yeah

Mathias, sweetie, you really could be nicer to my poor nerves

the metal scene can be so sexist at times that you find people who claim to dislike female fronted metal bands and that is perceived as normal by others

like

“oh i found this neat music but then THERE WAS A WOMAN ew”

[laser-narwhal-deth-sentence]

I’m a woman who listens to metal and dislikes female fronted bands and it’s really not about sexism, people are just not used to hearing female vocals in metal and many people dislike it in general. I don’t listen to high pitched male vocals either, it’s just a personal preference.

But fact is, many people who share my opinion really don’t mean it in a sexist way, women just sound different and I don’t like it. And men who dislike female fronted bands usually have no problem with female bass players or drummers, at least from what i’ve seen.

It’s really nothing but a personal preference, and a very common one. Of course, I’m not saying there are no sexist people, but I don’t consider myself sexist, I just don’t fucking like the way a female voice box sounds lol

[trollslottet]

“people are just not used to hearing female vocals in metal”

You know, maybe you could say that some decades ago, but now it just can’t be true. There are very successful metal bands with female singers now. A lot of this people aren’t even old enough to justify not being used to that. The only way someone would still find unusual a female voice in a metal band is if 1. they’ve been living in a cave their entire life or 2. they’re under the stupid still widespread sexist impression that metal is manly music for manly men only.

And, yes, that is a very common “preference”, which is my point exactly. It sounds very unlikely that it would be so common to find in the same scene people that would dislike EVERY POSSIBLE VOICE of an entire gender regardless of genre. Bands A, B and C, fine, but every band with a female singer no matter her voice, how she uses it and how it fits the music? Uh, no.

It’s irrelevant if you consider yourself sexist, sexism isn’t something you identify as, it’s something you learn and reproduce from growing up part of a fucked up culture. I’m not saying you are sexist, I’m saying this notion, and hence the metal scene, is. If you really don’t see how saying half the planet can sing no metal is absurd, maybe you’ve got some revaluation to do.

I wasn’t around to celebrate their ridiculously perfect new release last month, so now let me just reblog his majesty the goth prince of the kvlt into your dash to remind you to listen to Urn, also known as Album Of The Fucking Year.

You can find it here on Season of Mist’s official youtube channel.

Myrkur - Ulvinde [x]

I had some free time and was reminded that the new Myrkur album came out a few days ago!

What are your thoughts on Mareridt? 

[servant-of-kaos]

Had to post this…Great video and song. I’m currently at the second listening of the album and it sounds fucking good. More dark and experimental than “Titan”.

[trollslottet]

Let me tell you that the new Septicflesh album is fucking amazing and if you haven’t listened to it yet, you should. This song was an instant favorite.

[trollslottet]

NE OBLIVISCARIS just announced their next album will be called URN and will be released October 27! 

First song out is “Intra Venus” and spoiler alert: it’s beautiful

So the new Wintersun has a lot of black metal influences. And clearly many people are pissed off about it 

To that I’ll say
