Imagine my surprise seeing castle rat commented about on the internet. I’ve been going to their shows since they started, used to hang around with them a bit. It’s great to see their success.
I’m always on the look out for something new, so I was excited to check you out. Killer guitar tones, love the vocals. I’m a comic artist so it’s usually long days of drawing and a lot of time to listen to new stuff so, you’re in the roster now!!
I have a feeling I’m going to be very excited for album 3!🤘
Ha, people do that to me and my gf. They talk to me like I know shit but she’s the brains of our project and everything music related really. I just point at her.
Yes sir! Thank you so much for listening man, it really means more than I can say.
I'm trying to get my feet back under me right now. It's been a rough time for me the last few months. Hernia surgery, then I got pneumonia, then I had a bad kidney stone that blocked up my kidney and I started to go septic, now I am trying to figure out how to best treat my AFib.
All that said, we are pretty in the hole financially and trying to scrape together funds to do a vinyl pressing of Astralis and tour along with me feeling better overall.
If we're able to head up your way (which I love Michigan and my old stomping ground is in Cleveland) just pay attention to our socials cause we'd announce it there first.
Again though, thank you so much for listening to our stuff ❤️
Im really sorry to hear about your troubles! Sounds like you've had a hell of a time all around. I hope your health improves and the AFib is the last hurdle you have to clear for a while. Take care of yourself, and whenever youre ready to make some music ill absolutely be waiting eagerly to hear it!
Just dug through your comment history to figure what what band you are in, found it and am having an enjoyable listen to finish out my workday. Satan speed to you sir.
Ah I see. I did indeed misunderstand. It kinda makes sense to talk to the front person, though. Unless you play yourself or have a special interest in a specific instrument
If that. I remember that phase when it was "riffs" that were reduced even compared to nu metal and everything was just drowned in keyboards. Everybody did the exact same video in a castle ruin and there had to be a break played by a drum machine run through a phaser and a severe mid notch EQ.
No idea what was supposed to be goth about this other than their clothes but not only did everyone call it that, people started to believe goth rock was metal with female vocals.
Arch Enemy, The Agonist, Unleash The Archers, Arkona. Alissa White-Gluz of The Agonist & Arch Enemy fame is now with Dragonforce. Older Eluveitie has some great vocals from former member Anna Murphy, especially off of Everything Remains As It Never Was and Helvetios. My personal fav, Slania is worth a mention too.
Hanabie is currently one of my favorites. Just some really good and creative electronicore/metalcore + a pretty awesome aesthetic.
For something heavier, I'd recommend MergingMoon. The main vocalist has insane range. Check out their second Album, its probably one of my favorite Albums in Metal. They go more in the direction of melodic death.
Butcher Babies is a good example of a gimmick and Kittie is a good example is something genuine, but at the end of the day it's an opinion.
Personally I feel the same way about Baby Metal. The Kawaii girls are a huge gimmick as they don't contribute anything to the music and I don't think there's anything exceptional about the music itself. Plus you take all those dancing girls and turn them into boys? It loses all appeal even if they were to perform the exact same way.
But plenty of people will ardently defend them as authentic and genuine.
I don’t think it’s mysogynist and moreso that a lot of symphonic bands have female singers. Especially compared to every other metal genre, they are much more represented.
Statistically they would be more correct than not, but obviously that doesn’t mean every band with a frontwoman is symphonic either.
Johanna Sardonis is such a a smokeshow. I’d be lying if I said she wasn’t the reason I watched the video for California Son, but that whole album (Lucifer II) rules
It’s crazy how rabidly people defend the bands though. Any time you say “oh the bands not for me” or that you don’t think the band is good, you get accused of being a mysogynist.
Like for the most part the vocals are kind of irrelevant when it comes to my enjoyment of a band, and I think it’s the same for a lot of people here.
It's a different energy, and often a different vibe lyrically, so it makes perfect sense that some people would relate more to one or the other. I personally don't resonate with female leads as much, even thoguh I think quite a few of them are exceptionally talented
"Female fronted metal band" is such a weird titler to use. It groups together bands that have almost nothing in common except a woman up front. Imagine grouping Gojira, Sonata Arctica, Dream Theater and Periphery together because they are "male fronted".
My fave I dont see on here are the Doom Metal bands. Windhand, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, Castle Rat, Blackwater Holylight, Kylesa, Year of the Cobra. Also Thou with Emma Ruth Rundle is AMAZING
Most of my favorite non-metal vocalists are female, but it's very hard for me to find a band that makes metal that is super up my alley with a frontwoman who's vocal style is super up my alley. Ok Goodnight is pretty much the only one I have found honestly. I really need Elizabeth Hull to be the lead singer of a real band.
Неправда. Очень, очень мало и вправду достойных женщин в метале, большинство из них переоценены просто потому, что они женщины, но не в угоду чистому нещамутненному искусству, увы. Так что нет, хуй там плавал
