Excellent cover, used to really enjoy hearing that at the club when I was a teenager.

poorly but quickly

and started recording

Do you have an exit strategy?

Ah; our path, unlike the path of life, shall branch, yet meet again, only to split, and meet further on once more. Thy quarrying quandary is quantified thus: that none of these figures, disregarding their several seeming capabilities, want what they do not have. Which is to say that our eyes are imperfect vessels, capable of only little discernment; and which is to say that those stone figures which in fact move us, though they do not move themselves, can yet be discerned as mere architecture, whatever their glory. False cognates, made for fleeting joy. Far harder to see such a quality within ourselves. But look thou deeply, then, within perdurable David, or Laocoön's unending struggle: to no surprise, thou shalt find only lumpen stone, made of dust and of time. Look now within thyself! Thou shalt find more architecture, indeed a wondrous array of structures, rooms and halls, walls and doors - but all made of dust, however varied, and of time, however vast. Thou wouldst chase thyself through this marvelous maze, determined therein to find its inhabitant; I would applaud thy efforts, maintaining the while that the structure is sufficient unto itself, for as long as it should hold together. Where thou see'st the handcraft of a Bernini, there do I see the mindless work of wind, of water, and of stars... and yet we can both delight in observing this dizzying structure, and marvel that it came from dust.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Tryptikon - two promo tracks from Melana Chasmata, via Metal or GTFO: Tryptykon Streaming Two New Tracks From Melana Chasmata I'm actually digging these. Tom Fischer's output has been mostly boring to me for years now, but I liked Eparistera Daimones a bit. Some cool uses of clean vocals in both tracks.

Nothing solid yet. We've been planning, but the guy who runs the label is very busy right now. I'll definitely make few posts about it once we have a start date. In other news, the Ingrate remix is going really well! Everything's coming together. I'm very excited to hear those songs sounding like I wanted them to.

Ha, knave - to in the same breath claim that thou art an atom unto thyself, and yet that thou art most assuredly a mere amalgam of water and of dust! Thy words do make a chimæra of thy thoughts. Thou may'st yet rival most noble Athena in many things, but never that thou did'st spring full-formed from any fearsome brow - Nay! Not adamant, but clay, or dust indeed! And your path, like all roads, leads from the quarry, to the sculptor's bench, and then - as you so rightly say - to Roman forms, and then beyond: your stones taken for hovels, the hovels razed to the ground, and so once again to dust, and aeons, and perhaps after aeons, to the quarry once more. No irony, in the end, but a trajectory common and inevitable. Mount thy concrete Galatea while thou can'st!

Sonic says shut your mouth and HTFU.

Re: Facts about yourself! Sacrilege! There's no comparison between the satin, fleshlike smoothness of Greek marble and the rough-cast Roman stone of thy strained metaphor. Better that Icarus should give flying lessons, that Zeus should be heard to extol the virtue of marital fidelity, than that thou shouldst make these bedroom quips in thy upstart "language of love".

Sonic rules!

So we're talking about concrete-filled lead balloons being used for pillows?

Re: What's on your mind? You're right that they can be dismal environments (the penguin habitat where we went seemed kind of miserable), but as Yobo and BAN say, they're all different. Part of the stated function of the Central Park Zoo is to provide a safe breeding habitat for endangered species. And having an ex-gf who is a zookeeper, I've seen firsthand the passion that goes into caring for these animals. They're not just there for our entertainment.

Re: What's on your mind? Not that big, but there were a lot of cool animal exhibits. Perfect kid size, my son was running around and having a blast for the most part. A squirrel got into the snow leopard habitat and we watched him taunting the leopard for a little while, the seals were rambunctious, the penguins were adorable, the lemurs were grooming each other...

Hanging out with the sea lions at the Central Park Zoo, with my wife and kid! Pretty awesome.

Amorphis - Elegy Cool, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

It was great. We were right on the Tennessee border. The mountains are so beautiful, and we got to go hiking... so much fun.

"All of us", naturally, referring to you.

Ah, I see, so you're sort of like the early evening entertainment for patrons, rather than it being a "show"? That's what a pub gig is? I misunderstood... sounds great! Good luck.
