I'm pretty ashamed to admit this song is what made me discover Credence Clearwater Revival but there it is; metal with banjos.

edit: also what sounds like a player piano at one point

No, Caleb is the best of a very terrible album and literally the only song I'd not skip on that album. This is coming from someone who was a huge SA fan back when I was an embarrassing teenager.

The end justifies the means, CCR is fantastic.

edit: Seriouspost, there was a Super Mario Bros. cartoon years ago that I watched the gently caress out of a few episodes of as a kid because I had it on VHS. Anyway one episode involved them being on a paddle-steamer boat and they played Proud Mary during that scene. I loved the song and would annoy mum and dad by singing it in my retarded kid voice so they purchased me the CCR greatest hits double-cassette and that's how I got in to CCR so if you're embarrassed about finding out about them because of CoB, I've got you topped.

edit: Holy poo poo this is it

SOTB are loving fantastic and I wish they'll release more material soon. Preferably more Amon Amarth covers, too.


On another note, I've been in Youtube watching some clips from the ongoing Nightwish tour with Floor Jansen, and good grief I hope they'll recruit her permanently because her stage charisma is pretty drat amazing and she certainly has the range and power to sing anything the band has ever put out.

I might give a gently caress about Nightwish again if they got her. Probably not though, because they still aren't writing good music lately.

Helloween's first single for their upcoming album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiKZv8mISfU
The quality is poo poo, since it was recorded from a radio (it was premiered yesterday) and, apparently, it's not the fullsong. Still, a great Helloween tune.

Here's our review of the Cradle of Filth, Rotting Christ, God Seed and Dark End show, by the way:

Helloween make me sad. They used to be my absolute #1 favourite band, but after The Dark Ride (which is a drat good album, gently caress you haters) they've just been so relentlessly mediocre. I want to keep liking them, but try as I might I just can't get much anything out of their post-Dark Ride stuff. :(
Welp, at least Master of the Rings will never cease being loving awesome.

That might be the most obnoxious non-centred watermark I've seen in some time. It takes up 1/8th of your photo and is not only large, bold text, but a coloured symbol on mostly b/w snaps.

There's really no need for any watermark to be that size. The images range from their longest side being 600px (portrait) to 800px (landscape), the most anybody can do with those is make a postcard. In terms of promoting the website, a much smaller watermark would be just as efficacious.

Oh and pick up 35/50mm and 85mm primes, preferably f1.8 or lower.

I know about the aperture thing, but I appreciate the input. I'm planning to get some new lenses and a new body in December, so we'll see how that plays out.
As for the watermark, it's the first comment I get on that, but I appreciate the advice.
Regarding the B&W, the lighting was really bad, mostly with red lights that made color photography (for someone of my level) just unthinkable (also, in the case of God Seed light was coming almost 100% of the time from the background and nothing from the front, so I was really happy to see that I was able to get something more than silhouettes).
Any other advice, or insults, please feel free to send me a PM. Also, if you're any good at concert photography and would like a chance to go to gigs and practice (unless you're already doing that) drop me a line here or through the contact for on the website.

I enjoyed their most recent two albums, although they really cut back on the power metal stuff, which is a shame. They had a prolonged period of crappiness though.

I HATED them when I saw them with Grave. The singer is a clown, trying to get into the School Of Nergal with his stage antics.

Their drummer, however, was a loving machine. I'd watch that guy play any day of the week.

Meh, Blind Guardian did that years ago in Sacred 2!
And it wasn't hidden away after the credits, it was in the middle of the goddamn game, after you did the corresponding sidequest of getting back the band's stuff that had been stolen by goblins or zombies or whatever. As a final reward you got their instruments to use as gear, like the guitars were battleaxes and Hansi's mic stand was a magic staff. Even a drumstick as a dagger.
Not a bad song either.
