Jim Pavloff once again shows how his magic works in software synthesizer. The reconstruction of Voodoo People is mindblowing, but of course it makes you wonder how Liam Howlett came up with that in the first place..

I haven't been to a good heavy metal show in a while.. But this saturday i will be attending a Behemoth gig. If you do not know it is a Polish blackened death metal band. Their latest album in my opinion is maybe their best and they also made an awesome video out of the "hit single" from that cd. Send me a message if you wish to see the uncensored version, this one is scaled down to youtube standards.

puupia: "a Polish blackened death metal band"?

Maybe I'm getting old, but these descriptions sound more like a restaurant menu selection than a type of music

Jim Dandy: Well they are Polish to begin with. And they used to play black metal earlier on, nowadays their music is more like death metal so they are called blackened death metal :P

I'm not a a big fan of these genre selections.. I usually divide my music into two genres, good music and lousy music. The first is the music i listen to and the second is the music i dont listen.

But if you have to describe music to someone else, genres are quite handy.

puupia: What differentiates between black or death metal?

Jim Dandy: Very good question. Its not very easy to call the difference in those two even if you consider yourself an expert in the area. Sometimes the deciding factor is what the band itself says..

I'd say the biggest difference is in the singing. Death metal uses deeper growls and black metal higher shrieking voices.

Also the lyrical content is different. Black metal lyrics are mostly anti-christian, anti-society or anti-everything. Death metal usually tells about the darker things in life without too much judgement. But if you're not used to listening to the kind of vocals these genres offer it can be quite hard to judge by the lyrics.

Also usually death metal has slower tempos and lower tuned guitars. Death metal bands hardly ever use keyboards in their music and in black metal it is quite usual.

Anyways these genres are like very spicy food. Once you get into them the regular kind seem kind of bland.

puupia: Interesting,I guess it's not a type of music you hear someone singing during a visit to the grocery store.

I bought the new album from Finntroll yesterday. Pretty good i say :) This is the first single from the album

Tuesday: Such a beautiful song. I've always been a bit of Neil Young fan. Didn't like the Emmylou Harris version of the song very much though..

Pedro Martínez: Quite amusing, almost made me spill my tea. Amazing resemblance in the end :D

puupia: disturbing, but in a good way

Move over Susan Boyle...........shame i cant embed his

One of my favourite finnish thrash metal bands!

Type O Negative frontman Peter Steele is rumored to have died of heart failure yesterday. The death news has been confirmed by fellow bandmate Kenny Hickey.
