Spread the metal (challenge)

in #spreadthemetal6 years ago (edited)

So, I've been challenged by @noemilunastorta to take part in this badass challenged inititated by @verhp11, called #spreadthemetal. From what I've been able to gather, there aren't any written-in-stone rules, so I'm going to share with you not one, but two metal bands (and two songs) that I love and I think you should listen to (just because I am not able to shut up when it comes to music!).

So, the first one is 'Canta-mi Povestea' (Sing my Story) by a Romanian band called Coma, which I've mentioned before. They have a lot of cool metal influences and the lyrics are just naked poetry. I fell in love with them after seeing them at a local festival, I was there to check another band, but went early to see what these guys were about and I loved the atmosphere as well as the music. I just knew something in them spoke to something in me. Very warm people who love their audience. Like a lot.
I'd translate some of the lyrics, basically this song is about love and betrayal and not listening to someone. And desperation. It's about a lot of things and I really doubt I could do it justice in English...

Okay, the next song I'm going to talk about is 'Arunca-mi' by a Moldavian band called Alternosfera. They're really big here also and they're amazing musicians. So, when I started high school, I sat next to this pretty cool girl who was obsessed with Alternosfera and she got me into listening to this band and I still remember those first evenings after school, when I would spend hours going through their songs and learning the lyrics. And this is perhaps their most well-known song, it's the one that introduced me to them. Again, they're amazing compositions with incredible lyrics.
They're strange and beautiful and also desperate and they mean a lot to me.

Thow out of my mind
Chains of thousands of words
I'm devoured by a guilt
That makes my life seem a stranger to me.

Something along those lines (chorus), only much better and more lyrical in Romanian.

I was initially going to write about the song 'Snuff' (Slipknot) and an Ugly Kid Joe song, but I figured those are more well known and since I'm supposed to be sharing the metal, I figured I'd introduce you to two bands you probably don't know...

Okay, so I challenge @ladyrebecca, @guyfawkes4-20 and @galenkp, because I think they'd have cool songs to share.

Although not used to the unknown language I especially liked the second one. Sounds a bit like 30Seconds to Mars (not the voice).

They do have a great sound. The first band, Coma, also have some more metal songs. I was just listening to this particular one as I wrote and I figured I'd share it. You're right, Alternosfera do have a similar sound to 30STM, I'd never thought of that, although I'm a big fan of both bands (now that figures, huh?).
Here's a softer song from Alternosfera, which I think is wonderfully melodic:

Nice music. Already listened to some other songs on Youtube as well like Wamintirile and Ploile nu vin. Will be busy doing some downloading this evening I think.

Really? Awesome, I'm glad I got someone into this cool music 😊

wow...great bands, love to get to know the more "foreign" bands.... Thanks for sharing !!!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked them!

Cool! It's great to see/hear music from other countries. If you wouldn't share them, I would have never heard them and I could definitely see myself listening to them if they were on the radio here. (even though I don't understand a word they're singing). With some songs, you can just 'feel' what they're about just by listening, even if you don't understand. Great stuff, going to check their other music out now! (and might just join this challenge, but probably not with Dutch music LOL)

Those are some damn fine songs but, I gotta be honest, I'm not a huge metal fan, I'm more of a classic rock guy. But, I think I might join this competition, I have some cool tunes to share, even if they are not metal. :)

See, I knew I did good in tagging you :p

I do not know here, i am happy you shared a new singer for me ^^ Thank you
