When a Blind Man Cries

Din ciclul "Cover-ul este mai spectaculos decat originalul", mai jos e unul extrem de spectaculos pt mine pt ca sincer, mi-a fost greu sa mi-l imaginez pe James Hetfield in postura de Ian Gillan. Dar i-a iesit extrem de bine si a demonstrat a tzashpea oara (daca mai era cazul) cat de talentat este.

AMORPHIS to Enter the Studio in September!

 

Finnish forerunners of melancholic dark metal, AMORPHIS, have just announced that they will enter the studio in September to record their yet-untitled 11th album. The follow-up to 2011’s highly successful masterpiece The Beginning Of Times (Finnish charts: #1, German charts: #16) will be produced and mixed by no less than HYPOCRISY and PAIN mastermind Peter Tägtgren. Peter has worked with some of the biggest bands in the past, such as CHILDREN OF BODOM, CELTIC FROST, IMMORTAL and DIMMU BORGIR among others.

“We had to face the fact that if we want to develop our music and sound we need a producer who has a vision and whom we can accept as an authority,” commented AMORPHIS guitarist and founding member Esa Holopainen. “I know that we’re not the most flexible guys when it comes to letting outsiders into our camp for telling us how to do things. We spent one evening at our management office, talking about the right producer and the recording sessions in general. As usual, the best decisions are not far to seek. We've been talking to Peter about him producing AMORPHIS for ages. I think the first time we spoke about this was when we met first at the Nuclear Blast festival tour in 1994, and it was in Helsinki around a year ago when we last speculated about the idea. We've been following Peter's career - he's developed as a musician and especially as a producer over the years. Plus he's one of the true survivors from the 90's death metal scene who is still around just like us, so we share kind of an old school mental level.”

The recordings are set to take place in the famous premises of Petrax Studio in Hollola (NIGHTWISH, CHILDREN OF BODOM, KORPIKLAANI) and 5K Studios in Helsinki. Esa explains:

“We’ve decided to record in Finland so that Peter can come here to escape to Petrax in the countryside with us, in order to record all the drums plus some additional lines. Later on, we’ll continue in Helsinki at 5K Studios to lay down the rest of the material. The mixing will be done with Peter in the Swedish Abyss Studios. We’ll keep you posted about how the sessions proceed!”

As far as the new material is concerned, Esa’s elation is contagious:

“Over the last couple of weeks we've had some really intense rehearsing for the forthcoming album. Originally we laid down around 20 new songs as demos, now we are proceeding with 14 tracks. I'm really thrilled about the idea to take a major step away from the so-called routines that we've had with our last records. While promoting The Beginning Of Times we started to feel that we were giving the same explanations over and over again when people asked about the studio process and how the songs came about. Even though the music was very strong, the making process didn’t offer any surprises and appeared to be quite secured.  Now the addition of a new dimension to the developing process has inspired us to focus on our material even more. The songs are extremely strong, bombastic and skull-pummelling. Though it’s too early for a statement like this, I’d already love to say that we’ve created the best AMORPHIS album ever. We’ll do our best!”

AMORPHIS’ 11th studio album is planned for a March/April 2013 release via Nuclear Blast Records.

La multi ani Kempes!

Ovidiu Ioncu-Kempes implineste astazi 46 de ani.
Anuntul revenirii sale in rock-ul romanesc a reactivat interesul vechilor sai fani din perioada Cargo care il asteapta pe scena Arenelor Romane cu noua sa trupa Rezident Ex pe 21 septembrie.

"Am fost intrebat, de mai multe ori, care a fost pentru mine cel mai important concert pe care l-am avut cu formatia Cargo si am raspuns ca este vorba de concertul de adio, sustinut pe scena Salii Polivalente din Bucuresti, inainte de plecarea mea in Australia. Imi doresc sa pot spune, daca voi fi intrebat, ca cel mai frumos concert cu REZIDENT EX a fost primul nostru concert in Bucuresti, la Arenele Romane, pe 21 septembrie" a declarat Kempes.

Va fi :D.

P.S. Una din vechile fotografii ale mele cu Kempes, facuta in urma cu 10 ani (mai exact pe 26 mai 2002 la Festivalul Portilor Deschise din Cluj-Napoca). Am si uitat ca o am scanata.
In varianta ei originala (adica developata de pe film) are autograful lui Kempes pe spate. Este cea mai draga fotografie a mea cu Kempes dintre toate pe care le am :).

Mandal - 2

Am revenit la Mandal ieri.

Cantec plagiat

Come Together by Godsmack

Sunt foarte multi care stiu piesa asta ca fiind a lui Michael Jackson. A fost cantata intr-adevar de MJ dar ce nu stiu multi este ca si MJ a facut un cover. Originalul apartine trupei The Beatles.

Cinci ani de când "Moţu" Pittiş ne-a spus "Adio!"

Suits

Un serial foarte foarte misto. Il recomand tuturor, mai ales celor care au terminat dreptul si/sau lucreaza/au lucrat in avocatura. Eu am avut multe deja-vu-uri urmarind serialul :).

Amorphis acustic

Imi place. Cand canta numai ei fara alti invitati si deci fara alte instrumente in plus, suna bine.
