Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there; I did not die.[2]

I recognize that poem! Part of it is already in an atmospheric folk/black metal song. One of my favorites too.

It's by Summoning. The poem enters around here.

Your grandfather must have been awesome.

He still is. It's not really his type of music though, I'm not sure why he had it.

Opposite here, I found Taylor Swift on my dad's iTunes account even though he likes older rock and jazz. :unsure:

Holy fuck, I didn't even know that Swallow the Sun had released some new songs from their upcoming album Songs from the North I, II & III. I am glad to see that they are continuing their usual formula (as seen in "Heartstrings Shattering") and it's also a nice change that they are going to include acoustic songs into the album (as seen in "Pray For The Winds To Come"). Out of what I have heard so far, both songs sounded great and this makes me even more excited for the album.

Unless I'm mistaken, she used to be somewhat country-ish. That might explain it.

Yes, she started off as a Country artist before going to Pop.

Regardless though, no one really limits their musical tastes to one or two single genres anyway. Theres always something in a certain genre that can attract someones interest even if that person doesn't have a taste for that specific genre. Maybe it's just one song, one album, one band/artist, or even one subgenre, but it's still there.

I mean, I like Amon Amarth when I can't even stand most Death Metal. Case in point.

NEW ANTHRAX BABYYYYYYYYYY

I've been waiting for this all year, and I'm not disappointed, still have to digest it for a while, but Scott and Co. seem to have struck gold again.

Holy shit, this sounds nothing like the Anthrax I heard a while back. This kicks serious fucking ass.

Destruction cameo or is it a rip off?

Between this, Repentless and Megadeth's single, it seems that Metallica is the only one of the Big Four that has yet to get their shit together.

Original (i think) black metal memes.

Their latest album was in 2008 and it was a pretty damn good album too. Supposedly they're making a new album, which hopefully won't end up as another Load or St. Anger.

They seem to take long breaks between albums like GNR.

And against all expectations, it'll be the most vicious thrash metallica since Ride the Lightning.

Say what you will, Death Magnetic was a kickass album.

Pretty damn good single imo.

It would've been better if the four weakest songs were replaced with Beyond Magnetic EP.

Hey, I never said it didn't have weak songs. I'm just saying it's nowhere near as awful as some people claim.

But the fans will hate it because it sounds too much like Whiplash, Metal Militia, and Fight Fire

I never said it was anywhere near as awful as people claim either. I just said it could've been better.

Well, if we're being realistic, every album by every artist can be better.

I'm not surprised Kia was wrong about assuming I wouldn't like Lamb of God, I mean, he did assume I would like St. Anger after all.

Not bad, that's for sure.
