Dream Theater - On The Backs of Angels

 

Recently released "A Dramatic Turn of Events", the new album they do progressive metal titans Dream Theater. After the departure of founding member and drummer Mike Portnoy in September 2010 gave the band auditions in an attempt to find their new drummer. Mike Mangini was the one who drew the longest drum stick. Mangini has been involved bands Annihilator, Extreme and James Labrie in the past. The new album was released on September 13, 2011, in addition will they do a world tour and will visit Sweden and Hovet, 25 January 2012.

"On the Backs of Angels" is the opening track on the new album, "A Dramatic Turn of Events", is also the first single release. In less than nine minutes long, is it more of a traditional song lengths of tunes with Dream Theater. The new single has many similarities to earlier albums, both heavy, technically impressive, in other words a well-written song. The new drummer Mike Mangini has a complete command of the drums and it's hardly that I miss Portnoy. Should be very interesting to see Mangini's interpretations of Dream Theater wide backcatalog during this upcoming world tour.

Cradle Of Filth - Temptation

I guess we are odd and peculiar today as well. :-]

Cradle Of Filth cool mix of metal and...a bit of hm...how should i describe it,
Im thinking; bit of Kraftwerk and somthing else I cant put my finger on at the moment.

They are from England and started up in 1991.
And I think that Dani is the only one left from the
start, although Paul came in at 1992 the he
quitted -96 then came back 2000.

These guys are into painting....their eyes...or faces.
Here is Charles


The band's style has been described as symphonic
black metal, gothic black metal, and dark metal.
However, the band's evolving sound has allowed
them to continue resisting definitive categorisation.

Cradle consist of:
Dani Filth on lead vocals
Paul Allender on lead guitar
Charles Hedger on guitar
Dave Pybus on bass guitar
Martin Marthus Skaroupka on drums, percussion
Ashley Ellyllon on keyboards and backing vocals


This Ashley is one hell of a woman,
2009 she become the new keyboardist for
Cradle of Filth, replacing Rosie Smith.
Ashley was classically trained on piano since age six,
and on top of that she got her bachelor's degree
in Music Composition and Theory from
Arizona State University.
Thats something huh ?!


This tune comes from their 7th album Thornography.
Released in 2006.
