I really like this band and the original studio version of this song, but with this live version it sounds better than ever. Minimalistic can be so nice sometimes!
Quote: Tub Ring – Impress your creators
There was an average Tuesday
There was a shooting star
Then everything went fucking nuts!
Tub Ring – Impress your creators from the album A choice of catastrophes released in 2017.
Nathaniel Rateliff – And it’s still alright (2020)
Yeat another great song by this man!
Ihsahn – Stridig (2019)
Ihsahn (of Emperor) just dropped this little gold nugget of a song. I was late checking out his solo works, but it’s all awesome, despite being very different from Emperor.
I’ve seen Emperor live once, and Ihsahn a couple of times and both are extremely good and professional in a live setting.
Oh – and the man really know how to play his guitar! The guitar playing is actually crazy good. 😀
Dimmu Borgir – Gateways [live] (2017)
I was there! An epic song in an epic setting with a choir and the Norwegian Radio Orchestra. The female guest singer, Agnete from Djerv, also appeared here.
I never remember dates that much, but I think the concert itself was in 2011, but wasn’t released until 2017. It came out as bluray even, which is extra awesome.
The reason I add this here and now is because it suddenly popped up in my YouTube feed, and well… it’s still pretty damn good and deserves a share.
Greta Thunberg: Death metal speech
The imagination of people know no ends. This is a brilliant video, and the message from Greta is just as important in a death metal setting of course. 🙂
Leprous – Below (2019)
More music! Leprous is one of my top favourite bands, and they keep on evolving their music. Below is their first single from the next album, and they made a pretty cool video to go with it as well.
The song is beyond awesome, and I’m already ready for the album, Pitfalls, which will be released on October 25th.
I will see them live in Oslo in November as well, and that’s seriously gonna be sweeeeet.
World of Warcraft: A toast to 15 years
I haven’t played for the full 15 years, but I’ve been on and off since 2007. 🙂 Pretty crazy to think that this game is 15 years old nowadays though.
Here’s a nice little tune to help celebrate!
Alcest – Protection (2019)
A new album, Spiritual Instinct, by Alcest will be arriving on October 25th. This is the first single from that album and *spoiler alert* it’s pretty damn good, and I’m really looking forward to the album!
So far no dates has been added in Norway/Scandinavia for their upcoming tour, but hopefully something will come later. 🙂
Speaking of Alcest (Neige). He is featured in one of Ison’s songs from their upcoming album INNER – SPACE. Ison is another favourite of mine and they consist og Heike (Draconian) and Daniel (Crippled Black Phoenix + many, many more). Make sure you check them out and buy their beautiful music.
Anyway, here’s the song with Neige:
Marilyn Manson – Cry Little Sister
The first video below is the fantastic cover of The Lost Boys theme song – Cry Little Sister originally performed by Gerard McMahon.
I’ve been listening to it a lot ever since it was released, but wasn’t aware it was released as a video too, so I decided to list up some of Marilyn Manson’s other cover songs as well.
I started listening to Marilyn Manson when Antichrist Superstar was released in 1996, and it didn’t take long until I got his previous releases as well. Sweet dreams (are made of this), originally by Eurythmics, was the first cover I heard by Marilyn Manson, and it’s still one of my favourites:
Personal Jesus, originally by Depeche Mode:
Some other covers he has done are:
- Tainted Love by Soft Cell
- This is Halloween from the movie The Nightmare Before Xmas (Danny Elfman)
- I Put A Spell On You by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins
- Suicide Is Painless from the movie M*A*S*H
- God’s Gonna Cut You Down, a traditional folk song
- Five To One by The Doors
…and there are many more! Maybe someday they all will be released as an album or two?
