Welcome to my channel. You looking to watch all-new movie trailers and special clips released to your favorite films with another cinephile out there? You've come to the right place. Hope you all enjoy my videos. God bless. :-)
This piece was fascinating. I had never heard of Pyramaze until you released these videos, and I think I love it. This one in particular though. I'm extremely political, and sort of see myself as an outsider to every party (though generally less progressive than the singer seems to be) trying to just insert kindness and sanity and... balance, really. I won't lie, I was nervous where it was going when it got to the second verse, but you're right. This song is incredibly broad for all its specificity and honesty. I don't get the line about the Old West community or the Disciple of the Sun one. Do those reference particular things you're aware of? The rest of it though, feels like its singing my thoughts to the world. I love this.

I think, while not as well put together as Of Beauty and Rage, I think this album is on that level in terms of musicianship. It also reminds me of their innocence and instincts album as well. This album feels like everything that worked from every album that came before it and in my opinion, their implementation of electronic sounds with the strings has been the best its ever been. This album feels like core red at its best and i can't wait to hear anything that they release in the future. I also heard that they might be working on a special edition of this cd with more songs. Only time will tell.

One more thing Al! WALK IN DARKNESS - Walk Close To Me (Official Video) is deserving of your undivided attention and a purposeful reaction video. You will not be disappointed! You might be sensually overwhelmed by yet another magnificent performance by Nicolleta Rosellini that quite literally transverses thousands of years of Italio-Etrusco Art History; ending up in deeply immersive splendor, wrapped in panoramic meta-phsyical life in the present. All Hail Nicolleta!

It's fascinating to me how Dianne won me over. At first I nearly stopped entirely because I as a rule do not like opera or operatic style vocals. And yet I kept going, and by the end of the video I found myself wanting to hear more of it. I can't say what about this song did that for me, but it's certainly something special.
@ALsReactions25 күн бұрын
I wonder if it’s the split between melodic and operatic, that it gives enough of a balance for those who don’t prefer opera but like ballad-skewing numbers. Or maybe, it’s the integration with metal instruments - deep base, percussion, enhanced riffs, stuff like that. I don’t want to speak for you on what it is; just throwing out some ideas. But cool to see she won you over; she’s one of my favorite artists to have spotlighted yet.

@wildhoney126Ай бұрын
man, Epica is a real treasure. Amanda, by the way, was Simone's vocal teacher at the beginning of the band's career. In my humble opinion, by the 2020s, the student has surpassed the teacher. In many ways, while I certainly respect and love Amanda, she is very talented. I’m honestly surprised that there are so many symphonic metal bands on your channel, but no Epica, who are in the top three leaders of this genre 🤷🏻♀️ but be prepared for the fact that Epica is not only the angelic voice of Simone, it’s quite heavy in places and extreme metal and in general they perfectly balance all the heaviest and at the same time the most beautiful, this is an amazing group that can simply blow your mind.

The Nomad's Crown, the closing track of this album, is my favourite from this band. Make sure you check it out - it's an awe-inspiring finale!

Kudos to your eloquent enthusiasm for the music.
