TRACKER & SONG YOU CHOSE TO COVER & WHY:
Draugnim by Arcenzzraaath. Why? Because, despite
its age, it's still the best metal orchestral I've heard. And first too, I
reckon.
YEARS TRACKING: 5
INSTRUMENTS PLAYED?: None.
FAVORITE GENRE OF MUSIC & WHY: I can
enjoy all subgenres of metal, and naming one above the others is difficult... at
gunpoint I'd probably go for traditional heavy metal or power metal.
MOST DESPISED GENRE OF MUSIC & WHY:
Rap, of course. The reasons should be obvious.
FAVORITE REAL BAND & WHY: Tough one...
under hypothetical conditions similar to those presented in the favorite genre
question, I'd say King Diamond. His genius is evident.
MOST DESPISED BAND & WHY:
With all the rap bands around, the choice is
beyond my capability.
FAVORITE TRACKER & WHY: Cadaver is the
pro, Malekith reeks of quality, Tap rules by simply existing... but in the field
of resolutely standing by one's artistical views and not letting other people's
opinions hamper your vision, I must say the entity known as RobbFritt takes the
prize. In my eyes they have reached the ultimate non-mainstreamness, and thus an
eternal kvlt status.
FAVORITE INSTRUMENT & WHY: Banjo. Of
course.
DO YOU RATE/REVIEW SONGS ON METALLURKY? IF NOT, WHY?:
Occasionally.
IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT THE SCENE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
More people wouldn't hurt... I'd love to see a
kickass release pop up daily.
FRIZZLEFRIED'S THOUGHTS:
Arcenzzraaath's original "Draugnim" is an
excellent balance of synth and metal styles of music. Y'golonac has
managed to improve on the originals quite decent sound. The retrack
is very authentic in sound and as an instrumental has enough variance to keep
the song from becoming boring. The guitarsound is very nice as well as the
synth sounds. Overall the production and sound is very much improved over
the originals. This is an enjoyable song.
