hello ⋆.˚✮🎧✮˚.⋆

i love talk about music, genres, songs, my fav artists.
here, i'm gonna show my favs albums of the genre, if you're new to rock and heavy metal maybe these are nice options to look. 

prequelle, ghost. (2019) = 8,93 

genres: heavy metal, hard rock, arena rock, doom metal and pop rock. 

about the band: GHOST it's based on critics about the church and religion (how people use religion for their own interests) with a nice lore, yeah you read right lore about the papas who are figures that sing in the band and have their own personality and history, very interesting to follow. if you have interesting to know a little bit you can watch this guide > an unhelpful guide to ghost

about the album: personally, i think it's the most complete album of ghost with a historical interesting theme: medieval/death plague era. where you can catch very history references. also, the guitar, use of keyboards and vocal are so well combined track for track it's ART. 

favorite tracks and some comments 

• faith: if you want to see how it's ghost guitar riffs, perfect example, really intense and aggressive. 
• witch image: the poetic persona it's THE death, the grim reaper, such a fun song to listen. 
• helvetesfonster: perfect instrumental, so rpg campaign vibes lol and certaintly really poetical even without words. (i did read an interesting interpretation on reddit about the song that i think it's worth to put here in pt-br: ) 
• life eternal: if you wanna know more of the romantic vibes song that ghost write. 

rust in peace, megadeth (1990) = 8,4

genre: heavy metal and trash metal. 

about the band: classic heavy metal band, megadeth it's known for their trash metal songs and have a long long history that i recommend search for (lol). 

about the album: the it girl of megadeth discography, i think most of the fans love it (no surprise) because its INSANE. highlights for the complex arrangements, dual lead guitars, fast rhythms and tempo changes. the theme of the album its based on religions, warfares and politics. 

fav tracks and some comments 

• holy wars...the punishment due: ABSURD, DAMN WHAT A SONG that in fact talk about a such serious topic that is the israel-palestine situation and recently we have seen how it's going just emphazises what the lyrics say through the verses. 
• tournado of souls: ......... WHAT IS A MELODY, i wish i could erase my memory just to listen to this song once again like it was the first time. i'm deeply in love.
• take no prisoners: BURN!

iron maiden songs 

genre: heavy metal.

about the band: prime 70-80s rock bands, their songs have references from different areas such as history, literature, war, mithology, society, religion and sci-fi. known for falsetto vocals, headbanging riffs and i love the time changes.

fav songs 

• the trooper
• fear of the dark 
• phantom of the opera

deep purple songs

genre: hard rock, heavy metal, progressive rock. 

about the band: their musical style variated through the career and some people consider them pioneers of heavy metal, also some polemics about music inspiration lol, even so i'm putting here bc i listened to them in the start of consuming rock and well you can't say that are bad songs. probably, you have heard the solo from "smoke on the water" 

fav songs 

• black night: such fun song. 
• child in time: 10min song that just hit damnnnnnnn
• under the gun
• nobody's home
• money talks 
• hungry daze: SPICY TASTY

sopor aeternus & the esemble of shadows 

genre: gothic rock, dark wave, ethereal wave, neofolk. 

about the band: yeah, she's the moment anna-varney it's a singer who remains anonymous and her songs are influenced by this dark medieval and german eletro-goth instrumentals. the songs are surrounded with lyrics about death, personal perspective about sexuality and transexuality.

• in der palastra: the video clip it's insaaaane the song even better
