Anemonia - SymphOpera Metal
“For the love and for the passion beyond the skin
For the burning desire to unveil the mystery”
I discovered this band a couple of years ago by clicking on a quite big link in a signature
on the NW forum, mainly out of curiosity. I loved everything and stalked the myspace
page waiting for the songs to be available for downloading. I did get my hands on “Lullaby” and had it on repeat for quite a while, both on my computer and on the mp3 player.
I would really be grateful if they do a re-recording of that song.
“Can a dream still breathe
After dying so many times?”
I recently listened to their new demo “All yet to be born” and remembered all my excitement for the band. The “Lullaby” obsession happened all over again, this time with “The Quest”.
I’ve always thought their songs had something music industry generally lacks. That “something” that is hard to find, that “something” which is more obsessive than catchy. What I really like and respect about them is they managed to surpass all the bands they have stated as their influences.
I strongly advise you to take a look at their MySpace or soundclick and give them a try if you haven’t already. Apparently they have quite a number of fans here I didn’t know about until today. For more information (bio, news, pictures) check the official pages.
And claim thy glory, and sing this song”
Tarja Turunen and covers.
I’m trying to decide which one is the worst.
Choices are: “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Poison”. Now, my two-cent: when you are a dramatic soprano, you don’t cover Nirvana or Alice Cooper, no matter how much you love the songs. It just doesn’t work. I am actually looking forward to Alice’s comments, as I am pretty sure he won’t keep quiet. xD We all know he’s into new stuff, otherwise he wouldn’t have shown such a great interest in Panic! At The Disco.
And Tarja, I want to hear your version of “Whiskey in the Jar” *puppy eyes*

20 Music Question
[01] Which bands/artist do you own the most albums by?
Nightwish, Iron Maiden and Johann Strauss. I would also say Metallica, but I fear those are my dad’s.

Big gig *and I will probably get murdered for this one*: Nightwish 2005. Seriously, that gig was held just for the heck of it, they were already sick with touring and you could easily see that in their performance. Plus, Marco’s line “Oh, I see some of you liked as enough to stick around for the second show” was kinda out of place.
[07] What’s the most musically involved you have ever been?
I was supposed to play with two classmates “The First Cut is the Deepest” by Cat Stevens for a contest, but we cut so much from that song that there was no room for a second guitar in the end xD Now I’m theoretically writing lyrics for a project (or two).

Maiden and Nightwish
