Cheers. Today I was passing through my youtube subscriptions and stumbled upon new Saltatio Mortis song. Saltatio Mortis are usually a folk metal band, with way more folk elements than the traditional metal ones. On this track already the fusion is way more balanced, it almost get a song more agressive and powerful. The song is called "Dorn im Ohr" and wil lbe presented on their new album, «Brot und Spiele» coming out next 17th August

Witherscape - The Inheritance(2013)
Today I bring you a return of a band I already talked about, Dan Swano's Witherscape. I have been hearing The Northern Sanctuary and suddenly youtube suggests me some songs from The Inheritance. The first song I am going to show you is "Dead For A Day". It is a dark song both lyrical and musicaly, with some lessons to be taken. What I love the most in Witherscape is it have soft parts and then some really harsh ones, being that the harsh ones really make sense to me. Like a fit of rage.
the second song is "Astrid Falls", musically the song is the Heaven for Progressive people. good variance, from soft parts to some heavy one. Once again the clean vocals really balances the harsher ones.
I'm glad to finally have come around this 2013 album
Lyrics likes theseand these
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life's all about
Dreamer's day, when he longs to say,are really my jam.
And take it all in stride,
Sitting alone in his prisoned mind,
The jaded takes its toll again
the second song is "Astrid Falls", musically the song is the Heaven for Progressive people. good variance, from soft parts to some heavy one. Once again the clean vocals really balances the harsher ones.

Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home from "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness"(2005)
This is a quick post, because I don't want the Saturday spot to be empty by any means. This is a song that has been resonating in my head, maybe it wants to tell me something, I believe sometimes you are hearing a song once and again in your head cause your subconscious wants to advise you about something you are clearly not seeing and its right in front of your eyes. Maybe because of some illusions I had in a recent past that proven to be only disillusions, this song talks partly about that something that could have been amazing but it really isn't. I know the lyric videos has some wrong bits, but I prefer it over the censored official video. Some parts of the lyrics in some way made me remember of the song "End of This Chapter" from Sonata Arctica, the lyrics only.
this will be a 3 post week, from Wednesday to Wednesday, check around for another post next Wednesday. Cheers.

Allamedah - singles "Algema" and "Perspective" 2018
Greetings people, sorry for my absence but this year keeps on being hard to me, seems I can't find the right path in between the problems... well that is not the reason i am here today.
On of these days I stumble upon something that put me in absolute awe. I was seeing a react channel caught A&P Reacts(I totally recommend them for finding cool stuff) and heard something I really didn't expect to. I already knew from Ava Inferi how the Portuguese matrix works so well in metal, mainly the atmospherically darkest metal, more connected to darkness of mind and being.
But Ava is a style more connected to gothic metal, and I was still to see if it would work in another style. Than the said channel showed a band called Allamedah with a Fado singer called Valeria Carvalho. I didn't knew any of them, neither the band or the girl. But as the songs starts I became in awe, is starts with strength, in Portuguese(something kind of rare) and all of a sudden the song has a break and it starts a Fado time, then it evolves with conjunction of fado and a more heavy/prog sound of the band. From the break on the presence of the Portuguese Guitar is simply majestic. The song is called "Algema", and it should be shared for more people to know, and then maybe we will more and more fusions of each country style with metal.
The second song "Perspective" is more a typical heavy metal song, but I still enjoy it, that kind of sound is not the most common in Portugal, where black and thrash metal prevails. For me a progressive fan I lack more solid bands on the genre to follow.
Hope you enjoy both songs as much as I do. Cheers and see you soon.
