L

so, the first day of the five days of metal. guess i shall introduce the three metal bands that i listen to. meaning, i have listened to every single song that have made from the beginning up to now. from the tens of dozens of tracks they have, i picked one better one. while some song titles and band names might be unusual please note that the song itself isn't bad. so do take your time and enjoy. 

the first band is Sonata Arctica. they were the first band that i really got into when it comes to metal genre. they mainly have songs of the power metal genre. the track i chose by them is titled "Only The Broken Hearts". it is from the latest album by far though a new one will be out late this month. here is the track..


the second band would be Dragonforce. many would have hear their band name before thanks to the game series GuitarHero. normally, their songs will end up in the more challenging sections of the games. this band plays more of heavy metal pieces with fair number of power metal ones too. anyway, the track is "Seasons" and also from their latest album. there is a acoustic version of this song as well, you can go and listen if you are interested. then again, i think i posted both this version and the acoustic one on this blog before. anyway, here it is again, the original version of the track..


the third one will be by the band Within Temptation. i'm not a big fan of this band compared to the previous two but still a fan. they ten to circle around the genre of heavy metal. surprising to have a female lead here. so anyway, the song is titled "Dangerous" and is also from their latest album that came out for few months now. random official music video but still a good nice piece. here is the track..


hmm.. i realise all the tracks are from their respective latest albums. guess it shows something. each of the band always seek to better themselves from the previous one. okay, what i just said might be obvious but hey.. considering a group of genre not popular in many societies compared to pop i think they deserve certain credit to keep up with the hype. though they have different wavelength compared to the more common songs we all listen, they definitely vary from album to album and thus improving for sure. so yeah.. that's all for now.

five days of metal

pardon me for not updating for the last few days. been addicted to my ukulele lately. i realised just by learning four chords (Am, F, G, C) you can really play at least 5 of your favourite songs. that is what i have doing recently. on top of that, of course, i pick some other chords that are common as well like D and Bm. besides the ukulele, i also caught up with my drama series and movies.

so anyway, this month seems to be a month of metal somehow. been listening to metal pieces for half a month now. probably thanks to the fact that Within Temptation just released a new album and that Sonata Arctica is releasing one in eight days time. so yeah, been listening to them quite a lot lately.. from CD albums to metal covers to YouTube metal artistes. found a new user to subscribe to by the way.. yes he does metal pieces.

in view of my current hype, i shall update with the good pieces for the next five days.. one post per day but it does not mean one piece per post. so those metal haters who are here.. you can hibernate and not visit here for a week. metal fans.. brace yourselves for five days of metal-related posts.
