Mainly because of the beginning of the song sounds bit artificial. But that just prepares us for massive power metal fireworks.

Just FYI. :)<br /><br />I haven't heard the whole album yet, but judging from these 2 songs, I think I liked the older albums better... not that this isn't good well-done music, just my personal preferences - before they used to have much more keyboard, a more symphonic feel, and Freddy used to do more high black metal screams as opposed to the lower more death metal-ly grunts he's doing now. These new songs are definitely good, and they sound very professional, but I just don't think they're as unique as their old stuff was. Also, I miss their corpse paint! :CJinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669006430282429321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820916608420579682.post-57828121091926040952011-09-17T09:50:20.992-05:002011-09-17T09:50:20.992-05:00I've known a number of metalheads that think t...I've known a number of metalheads that think that anything that's vaguely Christian is not metal at all. There's definitely a stigma around it.<br /><br />Metalheads definitely do have double standards. While many bands will degrade and profane Christianity, they're simultaneously doing what Christianity may have once done to their ancestors, and are no better. Most Christian metal, while preachy, isn't hateful (though there are sad exceptions), it tends to come off as presumptuous. Sometimes that's the intent, sometimes not. It depends on how authentic they are.<br /><br />Most people don't put enough thought into belief period these days, IMHO.The Protagonisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04554242401969268200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820916608420579682.post-78321045537556472782011-09-17T07:02:18.765-05:002011-09-17T07:02:18.765-05:00The thing that always get me that people get so wo...The thing that always get me that people get so worked up when a metal band is christian, but not when they're satanic. They both make music about what they believe in, yet somehow it's an issue when they're singing about God and not the devil.

The term 'metal opera' in our case is actually referring to the fact that we've brought this entire album into a live theater production with a cast of about 20 actors and performers, a 12 person chorus, 2 operatic sopranos, live strings, etc. www.arakusproductions.com<br /><br />If you're ever in the Seattle area, look us up.

Normally after one or two songs I've had enough, but I can listen to an whole album of Powerwolf without getting bored about the happiness. <br />Great they released a new cd.
