Opium Dream Estate (O.D.E.) is a French musical project, founded in november 2006 by singer/multi-instrumentalist Sébastyén D. (ex Orchid’s Children, also involved in The Funeral Warehouse, Lyan and Roses In Bedlam – managing Seventh Crow Records). Though Opium Dream Sound’s sound is rather difficult to describe as it is filled with many influences (ethereal, goth, neofolk, indie, neoclassical, etc.), it can be identifiable as (mainly) ethereal and goth. Sébastyén D. likes to say that “O.D.E.’s music is like a whisper taking you back to a dark part of your memory and dreams…” Read the rest of this entry »
When it came time to choose an album title for the follow-up to Three Days Grace’s 2006’s platinum-certified One-X, the four band members thought the phrase “life starts now” summed things up pretty well. “The new album is basically a commentary on the last couple years of our lives,” says drummer Neil Sanderson. “Things have been fairly traumatic for more than one of us. We’ve all had to confront death on a few different levels, and we’ve had family go through some health-related things, so, for us, Life Starts Now reflects that feeling of redefining what life is and what it means to be alive after you hit rock bottom.”
“The events of the past few years have made us more aware of what life really can be,” says lead vocalist/guitarist Adam Gontier. “So the album is about taking the situation that you’re in, no matter how bad it feels, and making the best of it. Lyrically, most of the songs are based around that idea.” Read the rest of this entry »
Sometimes I like pop music. Moreover if it played as a cover by this fantastic thrash-metal band Boney Nem. They play professionally and the number and variety of their songs is fantastic! So I won’t mention the names, but I will post several youtubes under the full version of this post.
Here is how a metal zine describes them:
BONEY NEM are something like a legend in the Russian Metal scene. Why? Well, their specialty is cover versions metalized, with mostly very gruff vocals and the special thing about this quintet is the fact that most of the cover versions are non-Metal or even non-Rock, but many of them are taken from the Eighties and early Nineties Pop, some even from the traditional French chansons, which makes them even more fun to listen to, because most of the songs you know from radio anyway.

The music of Swedish composer Fredrik Klingwall comes with the dynamics of forceful apocalyptic rhythms and an uneasy kind of bizarre beauty. For over a decade Fredrik has been creating music that combines neoclassical and industrial voids with the emotion and drama bringing your mind to the soundtrack of horror.

That’s how she describes herself:
16. Piano, guitar and bass. I’m actually a classically-trained singer and a musical theatre-obsessive, but don’t hold that against me…
Some people draw, some people run, some people eat…I songwrite

After 24 years of keeping the faith & the exit of yet another drummer, on October 15th 2008 remaining members of the band Lynzee created a basic Myspace as a tribute to their history and a place for fans past & present to meet. They had no idea what would come of this little endeavor…By December 2008 the band found new life when they were discovered by Kimmy from RETROSPECT RECORDS one the worlds largest independent rock/metal reissue labels. They were immediately offered a multi-release record deal. They agreed to re-release 3 of their classic albums complete with new unreleased material as well as a 4th new release in 2010. The ultimate bonus was the return of one of the original drummers Bill Haertel… as of 2010 Lynzee is BACK IN BLACK. Read the rest of this entry »
