Shadows of Paragon: Silentium

It's been way too long since we examined any Death Metal here. Or maybe, after you hear this, you'll say, "It's been just long enough, if not too soon!"

Turn your sound almost off first. Seriously. Don't be fooled by the melodic opener.

Why would anyone listen to this stuff voluntarily? Could your life really be so horrible that this music was uplifting?

Info on band.

Real music can be played loudly but crap HAS to be loud 'cause that's all it's got.

Jeez- Sesame Street must not be paying the bills for Cookie Monster any more... He's doing lead vocals for like, every death metal band these days.

Aw, no love here for Death Metal? But it lends itself so well to cross cultural mash-ups! Eg: J-pop/deathmetal group Babylady- https://youtu.be/M8-vje-bq9c
(Note; "Safe for work", but not "Safe for sanity".) 😊

I'm an old MetalHead from way back. But I've noticed if I can't read the name of the group on the cover I'll generally hate the music. And this was no exception.

Those who can't carry a tune join a death metal band.

:sick: Maybe, he will scream himself into laryngitis, fingers crossed, what a bunch of racket!

This isn't death metal, it is black metal.

Thanks, Pinch Penny! I am notably clueless with those distinctions!

Posted by Paul on 10/24/15 at 08:48 PM

Oh, yea, I noticed the difference from the first scream!
