I am following @detlev ’s initiative and having a #metalweekend.
We will see a collection of metal songs from my Spotify list.
So , here we go. Bang your heads .
Diamantis Picks of the Week
Warrior - Only the strong survive
Starting off with a classic from the year of 1985. The band is the California based Warrior and the album is “Fighting for the Earth”, which is a US metal masterpiece if you ask me. They never had the success they deserved and now and on rare occasions they appear on metal weekends Steemit lists.
Orphaned Land - Like Orpheus (feat. Hansi Kürsch )
Moving to something completely different. It’s the Israeli Oriental Metal band Orphaned Land. They play a symphonic metal with musical influences from the middle east. The track comes from their latest and excellent album "Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs" (2018). And yes, that distinctive voice is from the dude of Blind Guardian.
Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond
Speaking of Blind Guardian… Here’s the title track of their 1992 classic album. What can I say about this album? Great songs from start to finish. It’s really a shame that for some reason Spotify doesn’t have their old releases.
These are my picks for this week .
Listen to music , listen to HEAVY METAL !
Play loud and STEEM ON !!!
Blind Guardian is so amazing, just a nice headbanging🤘
Yes . I love their old stuff mostly.
I used to dedicate Somewhere Far Beyond to a friend from Chile at the change of the year.
Highly appropriate for the situation.
Your choice is always on top. But, to be honest, the Israeli band Oriental Meral Orphaned Land just impressed me, especially with a voice! How do you always manage to find beautiful music?
Never thought Orphaned Land would be so much liked. They deserve it though.
With services like Spotify it is easy to find new good music. If you want to put the time ... :)
The constant lack of time is the main drawback of modern life! Sometimes it seems to me that as long as I invest all my free time to improve the quality of my life, something important escapes me.
One could say that very few things are more important than our quality of life
I agree with you. So I put my time in Steemit.
Oooh, nice picks man. Especially that Orphaned Land song!
They are great. Did you know them ?
I almost went to a live they did... But then a 40oC fever happened 😑
Hopefully next time :)
Good to have more people on this tag. Excuse me if I don't vote on your post as you bought a big vote, so you don't really need mine.
We keep the heavy metal flag really high.
I respect your model of voting. It's your SP your rules. :)
Steem on !
really awesome music.
thanks.
wellcome
Orphaned land is amazing and interesting. The lyrics showing union and mixing jewish and arabic sounds with progressive metal is fantastic. Another band which is really amazing is Myrath, from Tunisia, they are a little similar to Symphony-X but with an oriental base. Great post dude.
Thank you. Yes, I know Myrath. Their previous album was awesome. Now I think they are recording a new one.
