Been on a Producers kick the past few days. Interesting note: this (4th) album was recorded in 1989, right before the label dropped them and a few other acts. One thing led to another and it wasn’t released until 2001. I wasn’t aware of it until years after that and it became my favorite behind the debut. One has to wonder what could’ve been with a timely release.

While I watched the eclipse of 2017 from my back deck, I listened to a PF mix on random. I kid you not…at the moment of totality the lyrics, “But the sun is eclipsed by the moon” played from my laptop. I’ll never forget it, it was surreal. I think I even wept a little.
The next total eclipse is in 2045.

50 years. Wow! Fav band hands down. :new_moon:

I like it!!! First time hearing Bad Omens. I’ve been stuck on Heike Langson’s music lately. Kind of 80’s new wave meets modern progressive.

@McDuckie I just got turned onto them as well. Some of it’s just too techno for my tastes, and I wouldn’t call the drumming outstanding, BUT, the singer actually has some damn pipes, and goes from falsetto to full on screaming, so lot’s of respect for that. They do use a lot of samples/triggers, but some of the songs are fun. :slight_smile:

Checking out Softly Over now …

A tad more down my alley than your usual.

It reminds me of Cradle to Enslave with the reliance on female vocals. I still fondly remember a weekend discussing it at Gladstone’s library.

I do enjoy some Cradle of Filth on occasion. I especially enjoy when a band pairs angelic voices with a darker male metal voice. Like my all time favorite band Draconian. One of these years I’ll make it to Europe to see them live.

Another outlier when it comes to niche metal. They are glorious at creating a song on a single theme, with the result being matchingly narrow but containing all.

I’m now painting and pondering a blend with Nymphetamine as my guiding pixie.

oddly my playlist insisted on these two after:

The latter does require a ‘you’re going to burn in hell’ warning.

I have never seen that video before, I thought the blond female singer in that video was Liv Christine from the Norwegian band Theatre Of Tragedy. I had to look it up.
