techno/dance hits lover or not, you probably heard of this song before from the movie "Chicken Little". if you do not know the movie then probably you are still a young child since it was screened when i was still a kid. anyway, the song featured in this film was a techno hit by Ozone named "Dragostea Din Tei" or what many people soon call it the Numa-Numa- song.
so, as you can expect for the metal theme, i am here again to show you a good makeover of the song. from a techno/dance hit to a metal piece by the YouTuber 331Erock. talented person there.
i see i have been introducing metal covers for pieces from less popular genres like cinematic piece and techno/dance. shall introduce the metal side of pop songs soon then.
let's diverge a little and let me introduce you to my current handphone ringtone. this tone has been my ringtone ever since i figure out how to use my own music to set it as ringtone in iphone. it is cinematic trailer-liked background music, no lyrics just soundtrack. it is "Dragon Rider" by Two Steps From Hell. have a taste of it first..
so now that you got the idea of the original soundtrack, here is where we go back to the theme of metal. could not believe someone actually composed the metal version. this YouTube user is my latest addition to my subscription list.. 33Erock. to be honest, my ringtone would be better with his version..
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.
