Ten songs to listen to by Paradise Lost

One of the original Goth Metal bands, Yorkshire bred Paradise Lost have been providing us with depressing and downbeat tunes for nearly 20 years. Starting off sounding more akin to a down tempo Napalm Death, they matured into electro lead Depeche Mode rock, before now going partially back to their original sound. So, in no real order, I'd recommend you listen to.

Say Just Words (One Second)
Fader (Believe in Nothing)
As I Die (Shades of God)
Forever After (Paradise Lost)
Once Solemn (Draconian Times)
Gothic (Gothic)
Pity the Sadness (Shades of God)
Erased (Symbol of Life)
The Enemy (In Requiem)
One Second (One Second)

Negative Creep · 08-03-2007, 07:11 PM

Ten songs to listen to by

1) Davidian (Live) (Hellalive)
YouTube - Machine Head - Davidian Live @ Rock am Ring 2007
First of all, any existing Machine Head fans may be wondering why I haven't chosen the album version of their opening track from their Burn My Eyes Debut. Both are awesome, but the reason I chose the live version is simple: I was at the gig it was recored at. Hearing the opening still sends shivers down the spine; it's the audio equivalent of being hit by a wrecking ball

2) Deafening Silence (Supercharger)
YouTube - Deafening Silence
Personally, I enjoyed this album, although I appreciate I am in the minority, as it saw the band depart in a nu-metal direction. Either way, most agree this was a great song, complete a brilliant slow burning solo

3) The Burning Red (The Burning Red)
YouTube - Machine Head The Burning Red
Different to anything they had tried before, this slow, brooding closing track chronicles the thoughts of a dying or suicidal man. Contrasting brilliantly with the other songs here, the live version comes highly recommended as well

4) Halo (The Blackening)
YouTube - Machine Head - Halo live @ Rock am Ring 2007 (live)
Off their latest album, this is Machine Head at the top of their game. Melodic yet heavy, complex yet catchy, this could be the best track on an album the band have described as their version of 'Dark Side of the Moon'

5) Imperium (Through the Ashes of Empires)
YouTube - Machine Head - Imperium
Stung by criticism of Supercharger, and dropped from their label the band took a long hiatus. Many, me included, thought it was pretty much the end of the road for them as a creative force. Few expected them to returned with an all new approach, more confident and uncompromising than ever. Gone was the short, formulaic nu-metal sound, in was a complex, epic one more akin to Cult of Luna or Opeth. This opening track perhaps defines the essence of the band, building slowly, both light and heavy, and with a sublime riff halfway though, with the sounds of critics being silenced spread throughout

6) Descend the Shades of Night (Through the Ashes of Empires)
YouTube - Machine Head - Descend the Shades of Night
Perhaps my all time favourite Machine Head track. Starting off acoustically and ending with crushing heaviness. The perfect end to a near perfect album

7) Ten Ton Hammer (The More things Change)
YouTube - Machine Head - Ten Ton Hammer
The follow up album didn't quite work as well as the debut, but it still had some good songs. This is the opener, and shows the beginnings of a shift from their death metal-esque beginnings

All in your Head (Supercharger)
The leftfield choice; a little known track form an unloved album. Dealing with the failure to explain your feelings to others, this sits well up my own top 10

9) Aesthetics of Hate (The Blackening)
YouTube - Machine Head - Aesthetics Of Hate
Another slice of their latest album. A white hot blast of hate and anger

10) Blood for Blood (Burn My Eyes)
YouTube - Machine head - blood for blood (live)
To round things off, a little number from their acclaimed debut. Brutal and uncompromising in every way.

Finding videos was pretty hard, the majority of those links are live versions or edits, hence different from the album

10 Songs to Listen to by Rammstein:
(In no particular order)

Sehnsucht- A metaphor-packed song about some very explicit sexual acts

Mutter- This song is about a man who never had a mother because he was born from an experiment.

Ich Will- This song is about desire to be seen and heard and trusted, though the video deals with the media's obsession with a good story and their readiness to hail criminals as heroes in order to gain said story

Du Hast- There are rumours as to the story behind this one, "You hate" or "You have"

Reise, Reise- A comparison of the life of a fisherman and soldiers in the navy.

Mein Teil- A satirical insight into the life of Armin Meiwes, the Rotenbury Cannibal.

Dalai Lama- A song about the fear of flying (the current Dalai Lama suffers from such a fear)

Benzin- Benzin can be interpreted as a political reference to the high gas prices being experienced in many countries around the world.

Keine Lust- Symbolises success and excess

Adios- A song about drug abuse

The Nightwish version is amazing. I have seen the Phantom of the Opera (the actual musical) and the Nightwish version is just as good. It is different but it is good.
