Oooops. Sorry.
Too much coffee and no sleep at all last night.
@ topic:
I really love the "Death To All Nations" album, so I´m really excited about how the new stuff sounds. Right now, without having listened to the new album, I´m a little bit confused about the "4 normal songs and the rest is a concept" thing. At which point of the song writing process did the band decide this rather unusual approach? Not, that it really matters, but I´m always curious about such things.
But enough talking from me, I´m heading for my CD rack, it´s time for "Agents Of Power"...NOW.
Haha, Pavlos, your previous post was entertaining to read actually.
Well, hope SKELATOR will win another soul! ;)
To answer your question about "normal" (and not) songs...
No worries, ALL songs are 100% SKELATOR. It's just that the first 4 are not connected lyrically (only the title track a little bit), while the 12 remaining ones form a concept story, which has more "epicness" to it. But musically it's the SKELATOR you know - as a matter of fact, you might know 2 of those songs in their previous versions: "The Dark Tower" (from "Time Of The Sword Rulers") and "Stormbringer And Mournblade" (we put the demo version on our compilation vol. 2 in 2009).
If you know their previous works, you know that they have quite versatile compositions, from epic heavy, through speed metal to even some more thrash (and if you have "Time Of The Sword Rulers", you should remember "Heavy Metal Sacrifice" with a Venom touch and "Wrath Of Odin's Sons" with some black metal elements) and on the top of this: the theatrical speeches of Jason. The songs for the epic about Elric had been worked on for about a decade, so the new album is not exactly SKELATOR AD 2012 as for the songs themselves.
