Sonata Arctica: a Finnish power metal band. I don't even know HOW I found this band - they aren't gothic. They weren't listed in with the folk metal bands, though some of their lyrics could be described as such. They are a power metal band and fit that genre to a T and for the most part I really don't care for them at all.
Male vocal lead with a thick Finnish accent, thrashy power guitars, very standard power metal. But I do recognize that they are good, dynamic song writers - I just don't care for power metal at all. I did like two of their songs so it wasn't a total loss:
"Tallula" and "Letter to Dana".
I like to review things, dissect them into the ground. Here's my three bingles worth in thoughts about the things that strike my fancy.
About 3 Bingles Worth
During the Great Depression, white folks were sent to the Mat-Su Valley to farm as an experiment and to give people a different chance for success - this included some of my great grandparents. The Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation set up a currency called "Bingles" for the colonists to use until a proper banking system could be developed. People generally hated bingles. So I'm naming my blog after 'em.
I like to collect things, including genres, and review them in depth. Yuri anime, gothic metal, darkwave music, and scifi/fantasy are just some of these. While my background is in the graphic and fine arts, I am an outdoorsperson, Mac user, and musician as well; perhaps my opinion will be of use to someone, somewhere, in the vastness of cyberspace.
