Welcome back to the Metal Debate podcast. Today we're reviewing the new album Myths Of Fate from powerhouse Leaves' Eyes. I'll touch briefly on each track in the listing, and then on some individual performances and notable elements of the sound. “Forged By Fire” is Myths Of Fate's opening song, and the album's first single. This one is dark and dramatic, with a dynamic vocal performance from Siirala and contrasting growled lyrics from Krull. A track like “Realm Of Dark Waves” is more straightforward while still giving heroic vibes with a very singable chorus. “Who Wants To Live Forever” has a slower tempo with well-crafted riffs and colorful keys, while “Hammer Of The Gods,” is a classic Leaves' Eyes anthem along the lines of ”King Of Kings” or “Fires In The North” in terms pacing, energy, and execution. One of the more intriguing songs on the album is “Into Eternity,” an incredibly emotive track - a potent mix of grit and gloss. “Fear The Serpent” feels massive and epic without losing any personality its the delivery. The second half of Myths Of Fate doesn't lose any momentum. “Goddess Of The Night” gives a folksy mood before moving to more vainglorious territory. “Sons of Triglav” brings power metal melodies and gothic metal atmosphere with brilliant juxtaposition of harsh and clean vocals. “Elder Spirit” is raucous and groovy, driven by potent riffs, and “Einherjar” (En-har-yar) has a pleasant, plucky sound along with some moments of intense metallic heaviness. The closer “Sail With The Dead” brings even more aggressive yet theatrical flavor, building to a dramatic peak in a superb finale. On Myths Of Fate each track seems painstakingly arranged with plenty of thought put in to creating dynamism and variety. Instrumentally, Myths Of Fate displays a lot of the hallmarks of past Leaves' Eyes albums. I'd describe Guitarists Mikki Richter and Luc Gebhardt as restrained in their approach, but always competent when featured. I particularly like the way the guitars come out of hiding toward the end of “Goddess Of The Night” with an evocative lead break beneath the final chorus and then bringing the track to an epic close with crunching riffs. On “Hammer Of The Gods” the guitars nimbly jump between melody and crunch, making a song work that otherwise might have fallen apart under the care of less skilled instrumentalists. Composer Jonah Weingarten – who some might know from Pyramaze – has provided a killer score. He is great here in splicing ambient melodies and atmospheric tendrils together into a tight sonic expressions. The orchestrations don't batter you over the head Nightwish-style, but are organic and fit seamlessly with the other musical elements. Elina Siirala has truly stepped up her game vocally on this one. Not that she didn't hold her own before, but this is on another level from her previous efforts. The first time I heard the intro track “Forged By Fire” I wasn't even sure it was Siirala singing. She evinces some real Tarja Turunen vibes on the verse here before moving back into her more accustomed timbre on the chorus. Another example of this change is “Into Eternity.” While I wouldn't say the song itself is overtly commercial, she does give almost a pop sensibility with the texture of the delivery, crooning and oohing her way through the track. And all along the way Krull gives the perfect growling counterpoint… exactly as much as needed, when its needed, and never overstaying his welcome. While I have enjoyed Leaves' Eyes last few albums, I have felt at times the band had bogged down with certain stylistic elements that deviated from the core of what they do best musically. Hats off to producer and mastermind Alexander Krull for delivering one of his best efforts. I'm giving Myths Of Fate a rating of 9/10. Myths Of Fate is released on March 22nd by AFM Records. You can purchase the new album plus other music and merchandise from the band via their official website and many other online outlets.

Hailing from Philadelphia's burgeoning punk scene, Riverside Odds is back with a hard-hitting track that any visitor to rock n roll will relate to. "Blessings from the Devil" shares a glimpse of some of the darker, more vice-driven elements of the rock n roll lifestyle through a unique lens of personal accountability. Instrumentally energetic, the album explodes with stunning guitar riffs and lead vocals by original band member RW Hellborn, lead guitar by Matty Cobra, impactful bass by Eddie Spaghetti from Supersuckers and the intensity of Jorge Disguster from The Hangmen's captivating drum lines (LIVE band includes G. Patrick Poli on bass & Ginger Knight on drums). I got the chance to speak with RW Hellborn about the single and heres what he had to say.  

Stillnight are a band who sounds much more older and relevant that their relative youth and longevity in the scene suggests.Made up currently of vocalist Danny Sullivan, bass player Tony Rogers and guitarist Kody Thompson, Stillnight are preparing to unleash their debut album Dream State on March 25, tackling the very real issues of melancholy, depression and sorrow.It is a metal album that explores both sides of the musical spectrum, wallowing in darkness but also reaching for the light, all the while exploding from your speakers with a cavalcade of guitar riffs and crushing vocals that only serve to accentuate the delicate subject matter within.Dream State comes on the back of the albums final single Eidolon, an introspective story about love and loss that is delivered from a state of being that only occurs when invested completely in your subject matter.It is an album that should rightfully see Stillnight break new ground sonically and elevate them into the hearts and ears of a musical generation yearning for connection.Sullivan sat down with HEAVY recently to discuss Stillnight's new music."Instrumentally, it's just everywhere,” he laughed when asked to explain Dream State musically. “It's got a whole lot of ambience, which is the main theme of it, and it's kind of focused around the somber, sorrow feelings that you can feel. We wanted to hone in on hat because we feel that's been lacking a little bit in the genre from what we've heard. We haven't heard a whole lot of artists doing what we do. He's got a whole lot going on there. Kody wrote the whole album instrumentally before I joined. There's a lot of songs that are aggressive heavy, there's some that are emotional and laid back but still have that dark heavy feel that makes it worthy of harsh vocals as opposed to just being sung. Then there's a ballad track on there that's different for us but it's one of my favourite songs. I can't wait for people to hear it. There's a whole lot of stuff to listen to. I don't feel like one track is like another in the way that you're gonna get bored listening to it. It's like a rollercoaster of stuff from front to back."In the full interview, Danny runs us through the album in greater detail, the band's songwriting process, finding diversity within their music, biding your time to find the perfect band members, where the band came from, future plans and more.

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are joined by Andrew Prokop. Andrew is Senior Politics Correspondent for Vox, and you can find his work here. Follow him on Twitter at @awprokop.Andrew's Music Pick: Kate BushWho? Unless you're an art-rocker, Englishman, or Lisa Simpsonesque girl-poet-dreamer, the name "Kate Bush" quite likely means nothing to you. Bush is something close to a beloved institution in the United Kingdom, where she has grown up in public to become the nation's officially designated Eccentric Bookish Aunt, but in the United States she is almost a pure cipher outside of music fanatics, a weird lady with a flute-like voice who occasionally shows up on '80s-era Peter Gabriel singles.Well get ready for a massive course-correction then, because this is an episode of Political Beats that has been brewing since the day the show began. And it doesn't take a psychic to figure out which of your hosts has been quietly lying in wait, ready to explain the deeply committed art-rock genius of Kate Bush to you for four years now. Bush began her career as a downright creepily preternatural child prodigy (she was writing at age ten, recording by age 13, professionally recording at age 15, and released her debut LP at age 18), swiftly gathered up complete creative control into her hands, and went to work from 1980 onwards shaping a career that stands for so many things, but perhaps most of all for the miraculous idea that gallery/exhibition-level art and "pop music" can still coexist within the same skin without shedding representation altogether. Instrumentally, this is piano-based music, but the real instrument here is the Fairlight CMI, a synthesizer program set that allowed her to retreat into near-complete isolation and play every single note of any instrument herself; Bush, more than nearly any other rock or pop artist with mainstream success during the 1980s, is the sound of Virginia Woolf's A Room Of One's Own made good.Ah, but it's not just about art! It's about love and beauty! Bush balanced all of her arty instincts with an achingly pure lyrical vision that magpied from every influence imaginable to take form in her own unique style: a literary fascination with artifice -- with the self-construction that knowledge and imposture makes possible -- combined with an elementally deeply fascination with men and the inscrutable mysteries of masculine anxieties, ambitions, and inchoate needs. So here we go! It's coming for us through the trees! Take your shoes off, throw them in the lake, click play, and before you're 20 minutes in, hopefully you'll be two steps on the water as well.

Is there anything better than a nasty, gut-bucket riff? Nope. If the riff can make you move, no words are needed and it can go on as needed. On this episode I ramble like a dusty old coot about my favorite instrumental tracks.

Making a Scene Presents an interview with Jeff EngholmJeff Engholm has worn many hats as a bassist, singer, songwriter, actor, producer, recording engineer, conductor, and teacher. Instrumentally, he is primarily a jazz and rock bass player, and has played for 20 years in the George Maurer Jazz Group, which performs throughout the Midwest, including at the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis.

Today I'll be highlighting “Avalancha” by Héroes del Silencio. Instrumentally, it's like a 90s rock anthem. However, I have to say I'm not 100% sure what it is about. I understand the imagery of something crashing down and taking everything with it, but not knowing who the “Us” and “You” are in this song makes it very enigmatic. Well, if you have any idea what this avalanche in particular is about, drop me a line.

From the maker to the made is a podcast about creativity, artistry, Process and flow. Each week host Barry power speaks to artists and creatives to get their own personal and unique perspectives on their work process and lifestyle in the modern digital age. This week is episode no 22. Famous Dave Flynn. Dave and I go back a long way, we have been in bands together for years and he was kind enough to come on and drop some pearls of wisdom from his long and varied musical career. Dave is what I like to think of as a musical chameleon. Instrumentally he plays Guitar, Bass, he is a singer and choirmaster, ninja session player. And he knows about a million songs he is a human jukebox and I mean that in a good way. If you ever find yourself in Sligo town and find Dave playing a gig I’ll bet you could go up to him ask for the most obscure of songs and he would probably give you a great rendition. but I think what really stands out for me is his vast musical knowledge and his willingness to share that knowledge in a generous an authentic way. It really speaks to his passion and vocation to music and being a musician in general. Website | Youtube | Barry Power is an Independent musician and creator.

The son of two amateur musicians, Roy Clark began playing banjo, guitar, and mandolin at an early age. By the time he was 14, he was playing guitar behind his father at local dances. Within a few years, he won two National Banjo Championships–with his second win earning him an appearance at the Grand Ole Opry.In the 1970s, Roy symbolized country music in the U.S. and abroad. Between guest hosting for Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show and performing to packed houses throughout the United States, he sold out 18 concerts in the Soviet Union. Roy used his talent to bring country music into homes around the world. As one of the hosts of TV’s Hee Haw for more than 20 years, he picked, sang, and offered “country corn” to 30 million people weekly.Among his many vocal hits are “Yesterday, When I Was Young, “Thank God and Greyhound” and “Wichita Lineman.” Instrumentally, he won awards for both guitar and banjo. He became an Oklahoman in 1974 and four years later an elementary school in the Union School District was named in his honor. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2009.

In the conflict model of Christianity and Science, it is hard to rationally dispute the idea that truth does not conflict but we don't have direct access to the complete and coherent picture of the universe. Apparent conflict is fine but the idea that science and religion always are in opposition to each other is false. Stephen Jay Gould’s view of Non-overlapping magisteria (NOMA) set science and religion completely apart so there could never be conflict. For Gould, science answers all the "how's" and religion just makes up answers for "why". Science by itself can never make value statements about right or wrong. Some try to insulate Christianity from any scientific claims so much that it almost does not matter if it is true or not. In Instrumentalism, science gives us models that work but don't imply how things really are. Was the Ptolemaic model of the sun revolving around the earth effective? Instrumentally, the Ptolemaic model was false. The Ptolemaic model could be used to see where the planets would be and it was better than the Copernican model. Is the Copernican model true? Is the sun the center of the universe? Was the Copernican model good? What makes our model of the universe better than all the other ones before us?

Classic hit Instrumentals from the Goldemn Age of Rock n Roll

There's a Swing Dance coming up this Friday, Feb 26th at 7pm at the Bainbridge High School Commons. And it's a fun way to provide a fundraising benefit for the BHS band program. In this podcast, BHS Radio Club member Finn Mander interviews Chris Thomas who is the Director of Bands at BHS. As further described in this BCB podcast, there will be refreshments, two live jazz band performances (composed entirely of BHS students), and dance lessons provided by a professional, namely, popular local dance instructor Sheila Phillips. Imagine going back to the 1920s to the “roaring twenties” and the “Swing Era.” They were jazz eras like no others. The Bainbridge High School band program is hosting this swing dance evening featuring music from those eras. Swing dancing is a popular dance form that developed along with the jazz musical style of the same name between the 1920s and 1940s. The swing style is based on the focus of the off-beat, meaning that if there were four beats (1,2,3,4), it would focus on every second beat (1, TWO, 3, FOUR) rather than the first and third (ONE, 2, THREE, 4). Instrumentally, the band is based on a strong low section including low brass such as Trombones, and rhythm sections such as Drums, Piano, and Auxiliary, and a featured melodic group made up of reed instruments such as Saxophones and Clarinets and high brass instruments such as Trumpets. Soloists almost always perform during these musical pieces and when they do, it is often improvised meaning that they are coming up with their solo as they are playing it, rather than reading off of music. Swing music and big band music are incredibly fun to dance to, and if you're not into dancing, it's also fun to sit and listen to. Tickets are available for $12.00 online at the BHS Band website, or at the door for $15.00. Students with ASB cards can purchase tickets for $8.00 online, or at the door for $10.00.

Instrumentally, the band is based on a strong low section including low brass such as Trombones, and rhythm sections such as Drums, Piano, and Auxiliary, and a featured melodic group made up of reed instruments such as Saxophones and Clarinets and high brass instruments such as Trumpets. Soloists almost always perform during these musical pieces and when they do, it is often improvised meaning that they are coming up with their solo as they are playing it, rather than reading off of music. Swing music and big band music are incredibly fun to dance to, and if you’re not into dancing, it’s also fun to sit and listen to. Tickets are available for $12.00 online at the BHS Band website, or at the door for $15.00. Students with ASB cards can purchase tickets for $8.00 online, or at the door for $10.00.

"Truman's Ridge harmonies are varied, at times reminiscent of the early brother bands, and at other times showing a strong rural-gospel influence in the 3 and 4 part vocals. The lead vocals are always strong. Instrumentally the band continues to show the influence of midwestern string band and Chicago jazz and blues on its interpretation of traditional bluegrass arrangements. The rock-solid beat of the guitar and bass compliment the driving rhythm of the banjo and the compelling mandolin lead breaks. Fiddle and harmonica are also featured on some songs.

The biggest hits and instrumental stars of the 50s and 60s

This week's SAW represents a number of firsts for Chris. Inspired by the psuedo-retro sounds of bands like Franz Ferdinand, the song is the first he's ever written about sports ... specifically, soccer. Even more specifically, Sunday's MLS Cup game between the Houston Dynamo and the New England Revolution. Instrumentally, you get some Irish bouzouki, some bass guitar (rare in Chris's songs), some retro keyboards and a decidedly Franz Ferdinand-like drum loop. As another first, the lyrics and vocals were almost entirely improvised, which goes a long way to excusing lines like 'Taylor Twellman, take me home and do what you will'. Ahem. Anyway, Chris favored the Revs in the game, which is, of course, why they lost.
