Could someone make an audio file (like mp3) of the song Aetherside played during this "documentary"?I would love to listen to it in my car
I couldn't help but almost wish this was a new HIM song instead, though. If everything were to be left as it is except for the vocals being stripped out and replaced with Ville's, I'd be pleased about that as a basic template for how the next album should sound overall. Keep the heaviness and the badass riffs and solos intact, but tone down some on that gloomy and plodding Venus Doom vibe.
Did you find it? i have it in flac
no more Venus Doom-like HIM album for me , if they wanna keep the heaviness and badass riffs then: a mix of the Greatest Lovesongs vol 666(for the heaviness) and Screamworks (for the riffs and lyrics) and Razorblade Romance (for the badassness and melodies ) After all i dont even think Venus Doom is heavy, its more gloomy than heavy, heavy album is Greatest Lovesongs vol 666. Venus Doom is just gloomy , doomy and boring (for me).... A lot of fans think that Venus Doom is super heavy, but its just doomy and that doesnt mean its heavy,its slower, it has a lot of slow, doomy interludes, but it lacks heaviness, the true heaviness... Imagine Dark Light songs more extended with doomy parts, slow parts and more Ville deep moaning in some parts and tadaaa Venus Doom ..... The true heaviness is "The Beginning Of The End", its even silly tuned - "bass" tuned guitar, the normal E string is tunes in bass A , then E, A, D ,.... Your Sweet 666 from Greatest Lovesongs Vol 666 - heavy, Your Sweet 666 from Razorblade Romance - lacks most of the heaviness. The Venus Doom is Your Sweet 666 from Razorblade Romance for me but to be honest i would appriciate the next album if it sounded like When Love And Death Embrace mixed with Ode to Solitude or something like Rendezvous With Anus with I love You (White House version)
The first Icon & The Black Roses album was fucking awesome all the way through. If the next HIM album is as good as that, I can't/won't complain. I didn't like Thorns at all. They're pretty much the only band that's been compared to HIM that I've actually gotten into, though. Most others come off way too cliche and corny for my taste. HIM can come across that way too at times, of course, but they're obviously top tier in the "love metal" genre. While they certainly didn't originate that style of music, they're the only ones I've ever heard that can truly pull it off.
I want something that shines a light on all their strengths... Music that show's each member shine. I discovered a band a few weeks ago that's very similar to HIM and they also have a bunch of songs that really remind me of Charon and Sentenced... Like if all 3 bands had a child lol. This song is a good example, at least on such short notice, of what I'd like to see more of from HIM.
On topic: New DL is freaking amazing. Album #3 is shaping up well. I hope he tours to support it and plays King of RnR tracks as well. That was the one disappointment of the Vol 2 tour, was he just did songs fro that album if I remember correctly.Off topic: It's funny how ICON doesn't like being compared to HIM. I feel like most of their fanbase is because they have a very HIM sound. They came on the scene at HIMs peak between LM and DL. Every band with similar styles at that time was hoping to achieve HIM level popularity. After being away for almost a decade, they definitely don't sound like HIM anymore. I'd put them next to Lacrimas Profundere these days.
It's funny isn't it? Sounding like another band isn't a bad thing... they were actually different enough to stand on their own. Their latest album though is pretty much a Christian album, I swear. Just listen to it thinking that and you'll never listen to it the same way again... it's that bad.
