Dark Forest

Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows

2007-11-18T23:46:00.000Z

Mais conhecido por Sopor Aeternus ou Sopor , este acto musical é constituído unicamente por Anna-Varney Cantodea, apesar de na data da sua fundação entre 1987 e 1989 contar com a participação,por razões desconhecidas, de outro indivíduo apenas conhecido como Holger, assim como se desconhece as razões da sua saída (provavelmente em 1992), permanecendo apenas Anna-Varney até a data presente. Sobre esse e outros aspectos sobre a perspectiva musical de Anna-Varney podem consultar um artigo de uma revista exposto neste fórum, e também na Wikipédia, em português e/ou em inglês. Sobre a sua música pode-se dizer que cria um ambiente medieval, escuro e melancólico, mas também belo, não dispensando o uso de sintetizadores, percussão, e alguns intrumentos de cordas, enquadrando-se noutros estilos musicais. Apesar de o site oficial da banda estar presentemente, em "reconsideração" - vejam a imagem associada e então perceberão do que falo - (nota: clicar na área inferior da página onde se pode vislumbrar um atalho codificado em javascript para redireccionar para a imagem de que falo), poderão consultar alguns fansites dedicados à banda, em alemão(oficial) e em italiano e/ou inglês. Findo isto, deixo aqui as letras de "Memalon", "Sopor Fratrem Mortis Est" e "Beyond The Wall Of Sleep", respectivamente:

"Who is the old man, who fills
my heart with greatest pain
yet his name remains unheard?

I look at you and true tears shake
my eternal Saturnworld.
Who is the old man, whose
picture burned itself
down to the bottom of my soul.

You push me back and raise me up,
the criteria for both I long to know.
Who are you I worship? What is the
name of the one I saw?
Tell me how to reach you, to you I'd
bow my head in awe.

You speak to me but what is it I hear?
We have never really touched...
- such is the design of my greatest fear.

Cruel, cruel, cruel... a veil I cannot penetrate,
in different worlds we dwell,
attempting to dissolve what separates.

I force my face against this strangest
membrane-wall and desperately I call for you
from the darkest depths of my lonely soul.
The mist of the dimensions
through which to glance it seems not allowed,
or maybe it's just that our "level" is of no
interest as it is simply too low.

Is it true that only the mirrors' strength
can conquer the mist and then be therefore received?
You turn around the illusion of a voice...
- my desire crowned by another defeat.

If doubt walks in I am growing weak in fear...
- "one day all pictures fade".
Lying down, looking inside
I call my dead lover in his grave.

My eyes have caught a glimpse of you,
now I devour myself to embrace your peace.
The distance grows, we drift apart.
What is the use of eyes if they cannot see?
Hear me in my darkness,
please wait for me, I'll find the way.
I promise, I shall resist the tides,
until I'm finally united with you again...
"

""... kiss the corpse, the blessed sigh, enter the garden of the night.
Shed a tear, suspended in fear ... - Every soul is starving here ..."

The silence of the graves is not silent at all:
Millions of the dead are crying in their graves,
But no-one can hear them ... no-one ever hears ...
No-one can hear them ... Except for the dead themselves.

We can't die, no we can't die,
It doesn't even matter if we try.
We fear/hate the living, we shun the light,
Our beloved tombs keep us sheltered inside.
Sleep ... sleep is the brother of death,
So lie down beside this skeleton in the coldness of the grave,
Let the embrace of his dead arms keep you all save and sound.
Buried in slumber ... silently ... Forever beneath the ground.

Stalk "The night", if that's your wish,
With your foolish garlic-chain and crucifix,
Yet, if you find our graves, we won't be there,
There are thousands of places left for our despair.

And every night it's the same again:
"The feast of Blood is about to begin !"
We are wretched ... pathetic ... the flickering souls,
But staging our pain is all part of the whole.
And when all lights are fading, leaving but a fleeting glow,
Then, after far too many years, it's time for us to go.

"Kiss the corpse - the blessed sigh - walk in the garden of the night.
Shed a tear, suspended in fear ... - Cause every soul is starving here.
Hold the carcass, sweetest lie, bury the body you chose to deny,
Shed a tear, suspended in fear ... - Every soul is starving here.""

"Every now and then it seems to me
that there is greatest danger lying hidden in the depths of sleep ...
Saddesty the wanderer ... who is travelling here
for far to often ..., or just longer than his mortal mind would bare.

From the other world he can never fully return
after the passing of a certain period of time,
as the forces of the other side are with him all the while,
are surrounding his mind,
as they are now with him all the time.
Obscuring his mind, his spirit,
they chain him to this place or state:
mind and body will become lethargic, listless and inert,
and then, driven by his wounded,
he will be longing for nothing more ... except the end itself ... -
for darkness ... and for death.

Every now and then it seems to me
that there is greatest danger lying hidden in the depths of sleep ...
Saddesty the wanderer ... who is travelling here
for far to often ..., or just longer than his mortal mind would bare.
"

Ultimamente não tenho tido tempo, nem disposição para escrever aqui...
Aos que visitam esta floresta... eu peço a vossa compreensão e paciência, e acho que não vão ter de esperar muito...(acho!).
No entanto fiz uma emissão em Agosto que vou colocar já à disposição de quem quiser ouvir, basta clicarem aqui.
Voltarei em breve.
Um abraço a todos os que aqui vêm, e ouçam muita música!

Dark Forest na rádio

2007-06-14T16:31:00.002Z

Há tempos foi sugerido pela malta do canal #blogger da PTNet fazer emissões esporádicas de rádio, isto foi antes de eu ter decidido criar este blog, pois o título da minha rúbrica é "Dark-Templar's Dark Forest". Se tiverem curiosidade em ouvir adicionem o URL http://radio-blogger.kicks-ass.net:8000/ no winamp(ou windows media player), não sei no entanto quando é que tenho disponibilidade para emitir, daí ser mais fácil gravar as sessões e fazer upload para quem quiser ouvir.
É uma coisa bonita de fazer, se bem que a placa de som on-board seja uma porcaria e não consigo fazer-me ouvir apesar de fazer fade in não se ouve nada... mas como diria o meu pai: "Para cabrão, cabrão e meio!", limitei-me a gravar clips de voz, pronto.
Até agora realizei duas sessões, a primeira(oficial) foi um bocado mal conseguida (a primeira original foi caótica...essa eu nem gravei....) , a segunda ainda foi mais ou menos. Poderá ser uma forma de ajudar a conhecer as bandas, se bem que algumas ainda não foram aqui "abordadas", podem fazer aqui o download se desejarem.

P.S. - Não façam pedidos de músicas... sim eu sou chatinho... dedicatórias ainda sou capaz de fazer... mas é melhor não me pedirem também hehe

Haggard

2007-06-14T15:45:00.000Z

Os Haggard são um agrupamento alemão de metal sinfónico que combinam folk, música clássica renascentista, e música medieval com um estilo death metal melódico. O resultado é muito bom, e tal como os Therion, no início de carreira também começaram por ter uma sonoridade mais virada para o death metal. Com um número invulgar de membros(até ver o número mais alto de participantes foi de 21 membros), é uma das melhores bandas de metal sinfónico a par com os Therion, na minha modesta opinião são as bandas dominantes do estilo...
Podem encontrar mais informação na página da banda.
Deixo aqui as letras de "In a pale moon's shadow" e "The final victory", dos álbuns "And Thou Shalt Trust...The Seer e "Awaking The Centuries", respectivamente:

"Hostem repellas eternus
[May you forever repel the enemy]
Pacemque dones et protinus
[And give us peace, and from then on]
Ductore sic de praevio
[With you, our leader, in front of us]
Vitemus omne noxium
[We shall evade all evil]

Hostem repellas eternus
[May you forever repel the enemy]
Pacemque dones et protinus
[And give us peace, and from then on]
Ductore sic de praevio
[With you, our leader, in front of us]
Vitemus omne noxium
[We shall evade all evil]

A dream deep in the night
As the firstborn awakes with the sign
A little dreamer... but are dreams always to define?

"Do not fear, my son! Awaken the dragon inside
For he may guide you, being the world's hidden eye
Through a dark time, when mankind is bleeding within
Oh little dreamer..."

Hostem repellas eternus
[May you forever repel the enemy]
Pacemque dones et protinus
[And give us peace, and from then on]
Ductore sic de praevio
[With you, our leader, in front of us]
Vitemus omne noxium
[We shall evade all evil]

Analyzing the midnight sky
And in the early morninglight
He just feels the warming heart
Beating in his head

To declare the reason why
Should I survive this sadness
"God reality back in my mind" - beating in his head

It's a very dark night
Nobody outside
Silence wraps up the land as suddenly:
Hoof beats destroy all sleep

And a wooden coach loaded with innocent ones
Accused and sentenced, their end has begun
And their eyes can't cover their fear... can't cover their fear

And he thinks he must be dreaming
Lifts up his head, sees the sky is gleaming
Heaven burns as red as blood

And all they have caught, they won't return
The sky reflects, from superstition they burn
When will they ever learn... They never return!

Ein drohendes Pochen in tiefschwarzer Nacht
[A threatening rapping in pitch black night]
In Träumen geseh'n und nun wahrgemacht
[In dreams foreseen and came true]
Die Diener der Kirche sind hier, sie zu holen
[The Church's servants have come for her]
"Brennen sollst du mein Kind! - Der Herr hat's befohlen!"
["You shall burn my child!" - It's the Lord's command!]

Do not fear my son! Awake the dragon inside
For he may guide you, being the worlds hidden eye

Als am Pfahl sie brennt, nun schwarz ist ihr rotes Haar
[When on stake she burns, now her red hair is black]
Niemand mehr zweifelt, daß des Teufel's Weib sie war
[No one doubts anymore that the Devil's broad she'd been]
Geschlagen, getreten, bespuckt und belacht
[Beaten, trodden, spat and laughed at]
Die Flammen dem Leiden ein Ende gemacht
[The flames made an end to the suffering]

A scream deep in the night
As the firstborn awakes with the sign
A little dreamer... but are dreams always to define?

Die Flammen dem Leiden ein Ende gemacht
[The flames made an end to the suffering]
Die Flammen dem Leiden ein Ende gemacht
[The flames made an end to the suffering]
Ein Ende gemacht
[An end to it]
Und wieder pocht es in tiefschwarzer Nacht...
[And another rap in a pitch black night...]"

"We are writing the year 1543 AD, the time the black plaque struck
Agen, here Michael Nostradamus lived with his wife and two children.
He confidently began to treat his fellow citizens, but - unfortunately -
Was not able to save his family from his old enemy...
This was also a time the holy cross was rising with unstoppable might
Again, a trace of tears and blood covered the land

The final victory
Has crushed the autumn silence
The final victory
Has crushed the autumn silence
(2x)

Mortius, domine, lux perpetua luceat
[For the dead, Lord, may eternal light shine]
Mortius, domine, lux perpetua luceat
[For the dead, Lord, may eternal light shine]
Mortius, domine
[For the dead, Lord.]

Mortius, domine
[For the dead, Lord.]

Viju svet v notschi tumanoi
Ne prognat mne prisrak strany
Svet Negasnusei svetschi
Gorit, Gorit v notschi

So God has found him weeping
And wrath flickered deep withing His eyes
So thy shalt suffer
As long ago the one's been crucified
The keeper of the Lord's mark
Is rising up with this ability
Heavenly damnation
So thou shalt trust the seer..."

Therion

2007-06-09T18:50:00.000Z

Uma das minhas bandas favoritas.
No início de carreira tinham uma sonoridade death metal, mas mais tarde aliaram o som metálico com o som sinfónico, e o resultado foi excelente! Entre algumas canções extremamente melódicas e que me transmitem tranquilidade como "The beauty in black", da qual eu mostro este excerto:

"...The beauty in black
She's the serpent of lust
Coiling down the tree in your Eden
To bring you the fruits
Of forbidden pleasures
And forbidden knowledge
Behind your sleeping mind
The beauty in black
..."

E outras poderosas, que de certa forma que me transmitem mais confiança, que me desinibem como "Riders of Theli":

"...Come on
My Brother of the North
There is no turning back
Your faith is to go forth
Reality no more
Fulfill your destiny
Attain the final goal
And join eternity

There's no hide!
Suicide?
There is no death!
So ride, ride, ride..."

Se gostam de metal sinfónico, esta é uma das melhores bandas nesse estilo na minha opinião, e poderão encontrar mais informações no site da banda.

Morbid Angel

2007-06-09T18:15:00.000Z

O estilo death metal pode ter sido fundado por bandas como os Death, Slayer, Mercyful Fate, entre outros, mas os Morbid Angel levaram esse estilo ao rubro tanto a nível musical como a nível lírico. Mostrarei alguns exemplos em alguns excertos das letras de "Where the slime lives", "Chapel of ghouls", "Dawn of the angry" e "Bleed for the devil":

"Where the slime live
(They are the lowest forms of life)
Where the slime breed
(They make a new one too corrupted)
When the wind blows
(The winds of truth are blowing now)
And the cradle falls....down

Their poison fingers that wrote the poison lines
Their poison lingers
What a tragedy when their fingers are removed

Where the slime live

Their burning dogma
Introducing to our mind - lies
They plot for the total control of the morals
And what a tragedy when the "god-heads" are removed.

They crawl, they breed, they hide but we see
They burn
I see the smoke of the funerals rising
God lives in thier heads now laid to rest

What a sight
As their kingdom comes tumbling down
We burn - the ones with contrite souls be gone!
..."

"Ghouls attack the church
Crush the holy priest
Turning the cross towards hell
Writhe in [sings "with"] satan's flames

Crush the priest
The feeble church

Dead - your god is dead
Fools - your god is dead
Useless prayers of lies
Behold satan's rise

Crush the priest
The feeble church
The family of dog
Lust upon my altar
..."

"Cold finger on the trigger
Behind the line drawn in the sand

Anger rise!
We fight a war
With much at stake
The rights of birth
That no one can take

Overflowing with anger
Soon to be awakening
Will be martyrs on to glory
Dawn finds us in this rage

My finger on the button
With what's so foreign in my sights

Anger rise!
We wage a war...our nature to preserve
By any means...our enemies be gone

No longer can we wait
As an enemy drains our future
As the light of a new day shines
Our anger fuels our march this dawn

As it must be
Dawn of the mad

Call of duty now...all the minutemen rise and shine
Call of duty now...only sovereigns stand the test of time

My finger is on the trigger
Behind the line drawn in the sand
..."

"Come to me, lord of filth
Hear my cries princes of nightmares
Touch us with your morbid lips
Let us taste your foulness

[Refrão]
Bleed for the devil
Impious mortal lives
Feel the enticing power
Fill the chasm of your soul

Fill the air with the smell of death
Grace us with your magic
Fill the night with the stench of evil
I summon forth the beast
..."

The Misfits

2007-06-08T17:28:00.001Z

Uma banda irreverente, os The Misfits surgiram no final da década de 70. Possuíam um estilo bastante original a meu ver, uma mistura das mais cativantes melodias (mas executadas em warp speed) com uma tendência quase obssessiva de letras referentes a filmes de terror série B e afins.
Apesar da banda ter durado pouco tempo (de 1977 a 1983) criou-se um culto nos anos que se seguiram e se repararmos na discografia notaremos que há alguns trabalhos feitos depois da ruptura da banda, Glenn Danzig que era uma referência no estilo hardcore punk enveredou por uma carreira a solo, mas o nome da banda manteve-se vivo dada a sua originalidade musical e também por se terem efectuado covers por algumas bandas de renome da época como os Metallica por exemplo, com a canção "Last Caress". No entanto a banda voltou a juntar-se em 1996 mas sem Glenn Danzig. Deixo agora excertos das letras de "Scream!", "Dig up her bones"(a minha preferida) e "Last caress":

"A chill runs up your spine
It crawls into your brain
The freezing touch of fear
It's driving me insane
Although you try to fight
Dragged from the silence where you hide
'til you... Scream

Scream
I can't wait to hear you...
I can't wait to hear you...
Scream
..."

"Anything is what she is
Anywhere is where she's from
Anything is what she'll be
Anything as long as it's mine

And the door it opens is the way back in
Or is it the way back out?

Anyplace is where she'll be
Anyplace, she'll see you from
Lies and secrets become your world
Anytime, anywhere she takes me away

And death climbs up the steps one by one
To give you the rose that's been burnt by her son

Point me to the sky above
I can't get there on my own
Walk me to the graveyard
Dig up her bones
..."

"I got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead

Well I got something to say
I raped your mother today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as she spread

Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Come sweet death, one last caress

Go

Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Come sweet death, one last caress
..."

My Chemical Romance

2007-06-08T16:44:00.000Z

Uma banda que me foi dada a conhecer há algum tempo, os My Chemical Romance têm uma sonoridade excelente(note-se que eu ainda não ouvi o "Black Parade"...só conheço os dois primeiros...). Mais informação será encontrada na página da banda. Deixo aqui a letra de "Vampires will never hurt you" do álbum "I brought you my bullets, you brought me your love":

"And if they get me and the sun goes down into the ground
And if they get me take this spike to my heart and
And if they get me and the sun goes down
And if they get me take this spike and
You put the spike in my heart

And if the sun comes up will it tear the skin right off our bones
And then as razor sharp white teeth rip out our necks I saw you there
Someone get me to the doctor, someone get me to a church
Where they can pump this venom gaping hole
And you must keep your soul like a secret in your throat
And if they come and get me
What if you put the spike in my heart

And if they get me and the sun goes down
And if they get me take this spike and

(Come on!)

(Refrão)
Can you take this spike?
Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless
Night time sky?
Can you take this spike?
Will it wash away this jet black feeling?

And now the nightclub sets the stage for this they come in pairs she said
We'll shoot back holy water like cheap whiskey they're always there
Someone get me to the doctor, and someone call the nurse
And someone buy me roses, and someone burned the church
We're hanging out with corpses, and driving in this hearse
And someone save my soul tonight, please save my soul

(Refrão)
Can you take this spike?
Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless
Night time sky?
Can you take this spike?
Will it wash away this jet black now?

(Let's go! Come on!)

And as these days watch over time, and as these days watch over time
And as these days watch over us tonight
[x2]

I'll never let them, I'll never let them
I'll never let them hurt you not tonight
I'll never let them, I can't forget them
I'll never let them hurt you, I promise

Struck down, before our prime
Before, you got off the floor
Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?

Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?
(And these thoughts of endless night
bring us back into the light
and this venom from my heart)

Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?
(And these thoughts of endless night
bring us back into the light
kill this venom from my heart)

Can you stake me before the sun goes down?

(And as always, innocent like roller coasters.
Fatality is like ghosts in snow and you have no idea what you're up against
because I've seen what they look like.
Becoming perfect as if they were sterling silver chainsaws going cascading...)

Xandria

2007-06-08T16:35:00.000Z

Uma belíssima banda com uma sonoridade creativa, destacam-se pela harmonia entre as melodias e os sons mais acelerados e metálicos, sempre acompanhada com a bela voz de Lisa, a sua vocalista.
Apesar da sua discografia ser relativamente curta, os Xandria merecem sem dúvida uma audição.
Apesar de conhecer apenas os dois primeiros álbuns "Kill the Sun" e "Ravenheart" as minhas sugestões vão para "Mermaids" , "Isis&Osiris", "Ravenheart" e "Fire of the Universe", entre outras, deixo aqui excertos das letras das mesmas, respectivamente:

"
sigh - for they make you feel alive
try - it's just one step aside
fly - over seas of drunken wine
lie - cause you'll never draw a line
cry - for they leave you cold and dead
ride - til the last of suns is set
don't dive too deep - too deep into the sea

come and be a child of the blue
we make the azure dream come true
..."

"
i am birth - i am death
i'm an elusive symbol
for eternal come and go
for come and go

i have come - i have gone
i have shown you moira
and her restless re-creation
your own re-creation
..."

"
Come to me, Ravenheart
Messenger of evil
Come to me. What's the news?
Here I'm still left lonely

You shadow of forgotten dreams
You come to take again
My hope on your black wings
..."

"
I clench my first and break my chains
Destroy the mirror of tears
I force the night to smash you down
And lose my innocence (I'm)

Blinded by the fire of universe
I'm falling down, no reverse

I Can't rewind my life to then
When I was freaming ot warmth
You took away the child I've been
And left me frozen (and)
..."

Orphaned Land

2007-06-08T15:03:00.000Z

A banda de que venho falar agradou-me bastante quando os ouvi pela primeira vez, um estilo diferente do que estou habituado a ouvir. Já contam 11 anos de carreira, e vale a pena pesquisar a sua discografia, podem também consultar o site oficial da banda aqui . Deixo aqui a letra de "Nora El Nora", do álbum "Mabool".

"Nora El Nora, ne'ezar begvura shuvi elay malki

Dodi refa, nafshi nichsefa, lebeitach malchi
Nora El Nora, ne'ezar begvura

Nora Ashira, Lach akabira, shir mahalali
Lecha etna menat chevly vegoraly

Bekol zman azor el nora, geza avraham, netzer tifa'ara,
Ata el hai noten torah"

[Tradução:]
Nora El Nora, the lord of courage
Return me my lord, mend my wounds,
my soul is yearning, and in valor we wait.
Nora i sing thee, a hymn of praise,
to you I give my life and faith
Through all time, mighty Nora,
deliver us progeny of Abraham,
Offspring of greatness,
you are the living God,
giver of Torah

Death

2007-06-08T14:32:00.000Z

Em 1983, quando ainda se ouvia falar da New Wave of British Heavy Metal onde já seguiam firmes bandas como os Iron Maiden, Venom, Black Sabbath, entre outras, e bandas jovens como os Metallica, Slayer e Exodus davam os primeiros passos ao definir o seu estilo, surgiu Chuck Schuldiner que com uma visão criativa e o seu estilo de liderança garantiu o topo da sua banda no estilo em que iriam se enquadrar. Formaram-se então os Death, que durante mais de uma década gravaram sete álbuns arquitectados por Chuck Schuldiner, que marcaram a distinção entre bandas como Morbid Angel e Deicide. De facto Schuldiner é considerado o pai do death metal e embora não conheça ainda toda a discografia da banda, o pouco que ouvi é o suficiente para vos aconselhar a ouvir Death(espero que não tenham ouvidos sensíveis...) e deixo aqui as letras de "Zombie Ritual" do álbum Scream Bloody Gore e "The Philosopher" do álbum Alternate Thoughts Patterns, pela respectiva ordem:

Revengeful corpse out to kill
Smell the stench, your guts will spill
Vomit for a mind, maggots for a cock
With his axe the corpse will chop

Stare into his eyes
Now in his spell
Kiss the rotting flesh
Now you're in hell

Drink from the goblet, the goblet of gore
Taste the zombie's drug, now you want more
Drifting from the living, joining with the dead
Zombie dwelling maggots, now infest your head

Zombie ritual
Zombie ritual

Ceremony now complete
Chosen one is now deceased
Fucking, raping zombie whores
Killing, feasting no remorse

Stare into his eyes
Now in his spell
Kiss the rotting flesh
Now you're in hell

Drink from the goblet, the goblet of gore
Taste the zombie's drug, now you want more
Drifting from the living, joining with the dead
Zombie dwelling maggots, now infest your head

Zombie ritual
Zombie ritual

Zombie ritual"

"Do you feel what I feel, see what I see, hear what I hear
There is a line you must draw between your dream world and reality
Do you live my life or share the breath I breathe
Lies feed your judgement of others
Behold how the blind lead each other
The philosopher
You know so much about nothing at all

Ideas that fall under shadows of theories that stand tall
Thoughts that grow narrow upon being verbally released
Your mind is not your own,
what sounds more mentally stimulating is how you make your choice
So you preach about how I'm supposed to be, yet you don't you know your own sexuality
Lies feed your judgement of others
Behold how the blind lead each other
The philosopher
You know so much about nothing at all"

Current 93

2007-06-08T14:18:00.000Z

Os Current 93 são uma banda com um estilo completamente diferente...não sei como os descrever, apenas sei que é uma audição agradável...que me deixa em contacto com a parte mais profunda do meu ser... se não fazem a mínima idéia do que eu estou a falar, podem pesquisar pela discografia deles e tirarem as vossas conclusões, é o que posso dizer. Na página oficial da banda(acho eu...) (que agora funciona como um arquivo on-line) encontram algum material de interesse.
Deixo aqui as letras de "All the pretty little horsies" , "A sadness song" e "Oh coal black smith":

"Hush-a-bye
Don't You cry
Go to sleepy little baby
Go to sleepy little baby
When You wake
You shall have
All the pretty little horsies
All the pretty little horsies

Blacks and bays
Dapples and greys
All the pretty little horsies

Way down yonder
In the meadow
Lies a poor little lamby
Bees and butterflies
Flitting round his eyes
Poor little thing is crying
"Mammy"

Go to sleep
Don't you cry
Rest Your head upon the clover
Rest Your head upon the clover
In Your dreams
You shall ride
While Your Mammy's watching over

Blacks and bays
And dapples and greys
All the pretty little horsies
All the pretty little horsies
All the pretty little horsies"

"When we touch the world
And it falls away
When we feel that we're born
Just to fall apart
And our mother lies in state
And the broken pitcher glistens
And the snow is at the window
Creating neither sign nor symbol
And the earth covers earth
And the mud lies in pools

Where the sand-dunes stretch unbroken
And the dry wind bends and sighs
And the geese are running harmless
And our desires are running wild

Then we're looking at the smoke
That's rising from the incense
Neither coming here nor going
Neither heaven here nor hell
Neither borning here nor birthing
Neither dying here nor death

And we're wrapped inside our troubles
And we're wrapped inside our pain
And wracked with fires with longing
And our eyes are blind with night
With our fingers clutching coins
And our thoughts burning with 'I'
And our eyes cannot be sated
With the world and its nightmares
With the world and its dreams
Though later they'll be filled
With a small handful of dust
And the gods appear on the altars
And we recognise their face
It's a face that we have carved there
And it's full of fear and longing
And promises and threats
But they neither stoop to conquer
Nor do they stoop to praise
And the mines are void of diamonds
That we carry in our rags

Then all the world seems
A sadness song
And all the world seems
A sadness song"

"Oh she looked out of the window
As white as any milk
But he looked in the window
As black as any silk

"Hello hello hello hello
Hello you coal black smith
Oh what is your silly song?
You shall never change my maiden name
That I have kept so long
I'd rather die a maid, yes"

But then she said
"And be buried in my grave, yes"

And then she said
"That I'd have such a nasty
Husky, dusky, musty, funky
Coal black smith,
A maiden will I die"

Then she became a duck
A duck all on the stream
And he became a water dog
And fetched her back again

Then she became a hare
A hare all on the plain
And he became a greyhound dog
And fetched her back again

Then she became a fly
A fly all in the air
And he becamee a spider
And fetched her to his lair

And she became a corpse,
A corpse all In the ground
And he became the cold grey clay
And smothered her all around"

Moi Dix Mois

2007-06-05T22:33:00.000Z

Oriundo do Japão, o estilo Visual Kei consiste nos artistas se exprimirem mais além da música... e darem azo às suas fantasias(pelo menos assim eu entendo). Fundador dos Malice Mizer, Mana-Sama decidiu fazer um hiato por tempo indeterminado no que respeitava a essa banda. Depois cria o seu projecto a solo, Moi Dix Mois (tradução: "eu dez meses", que deve ser o tempo que decorreu depois deixar os Malice Mizer em stand-by).Com um estilo actualmente andrógino... os Moi Dix Mois têm um repertório musical bastante interessante, onde se mistura metal, industrial, e algumas entradas orquestrais(ou parecido...). J-Visual Rock no seu melhor, embora haja mais bandas que ainda não conheço...como os X Japan(que segundo a wikipedia foram os percussores do Visual Kei, Dir En Grey e mais... Podem consultar aqui a página oficial da banda, onde estará já a informação sobre o mais recente trabalho da banda, o álbum "Dixanadu" . Deixo aqui a letra de "Shadows Temple-x" e "Deus Ex Machina" dos álbuns "Nocturnal Opera" e "Beyond The Gate" , respectivamente.

"Shadow's dream of truth and false.

You were selected to be on this stage by a stroke of fate.

naze eranda watashi o kono sekai ni
This stage is just like illusions you made.
naze koroshita tozasareta kono sekai de

Lonely night, I hold a ceremony of darkness.
Changing mind is an omen of tragedy.
You are all mine.

kagee no tawamure mayonaka no tousaku
shinku ni somatta anata o dakishime kono te de...

Cut off the whole things.
nagareru chi ni
Set your reason free.

kuchizuke shite
Follow instincts.

Shadow’s dream of truth and false.
butai no tsuzuki o misete
aozameta shitai o aishi-tsuzuke...
Such a thought inspires me.

You were selected to be on this stage by a stroke of fate.
naze matta watashi no sekai o
This stage is just like illusions you made.
naze kie-yuku sourei na kono sekai de

kyouki no tawamure mayonaka no kousaku
tsukiyo ni terasare anata to kono mama tokeai...

yoru no hate made

Shadow’s dream of truth and false.
butai no tsuzuki o misete
aozameta karada o aishi-tsuzukete towa ni

Shadow’s dream of truth and false.
kikaijikake no kokoro
aozameta karada ni tsumi no akashi o kizami

Shadow’s dream of truth and false."

"Be terrified!

"Why do you smile?
What's beyond shut glass?
Your smile must know
Crush this Ex Machina!

Regret creation that you made me
In the shape not complete

You will also die out in fixed machinery
These eyes, if cut out, it's fine heaven of darkness

You will also die out in fixed machinery
These ears, if cut off it's silence, heaven of darkness

"Why do you smile?
What's beyond shut glass?
Your smile must know
Crush this Ex Machina!

Regret creation that you made me
In the shape not complete

Enclosed in this narrow case...

You are next!
In ridicule, you laugh!

You are next!
In ridicule, you laugh!
You are next!
In ridicule, you laugh!
You are next!
In ridicule, you laugh!
Be terrified!

You will also die out in fixed machinery
These eyes, if cut out, it's fine heaven of darkness

"Why do you smile?
What's beyond shut glass?
Your smile must know
Crush this Ex Machina!

Regret creation that you made me
In the shape not complete

Enclosed in this narrow case...

You are next!
In ridicule, you laugh!
You are next!
In ridicule, you laugh!
You are next!
In ridicule, you laugh!
You are next!
Be terrified!

You are next!
In ridicule, you laugh!
You are next!
In ridicule, you laugh!
You are next!
In ridicule, you laugh!
You are next!
Be terrified!"

Um novo começo...

Este espaço tem a ver com o meu lado musical, a minha descrição acerca do som de qualquer banda que eu ouça e que me agrade...
Possivelmente também irei promover a música nacional, bandas recentes ou não... é sempre uma idéia a ter em consideração... cá vos espero.

A ouvir Heimataerde - Die Leuterung
