My third movie pick is Kickass. I saw previews for this movie and never saw it because it didn't look very good. I thought it would just be some cheesy super hero movie. It wasn't until a friend showed me the movie when I realized how great it was. It turns out it had everything I like in a movie. Action, comedy, vulgarity as well as a great story. It is a story about what would happen in real life if somebody became a super hero. Great movie.
My second pick is The Road. This is one of my favourites because it was not at all what I expected it to be like. I expected it to be action packed with some dark post-apacolyptic themes. But it was actually a very sad movie. When a father and his son are left to walk the earth trying to find survivors this dark movie turns into a very passionate story with a very sad ending.
My first pick is the movie Point Break. This has been my favourite movie for many years now. I like it because it has a good story line with lots of action. The actors are well known in it also. Bank robbers, surfing, skydiving, fighting, incredible chase scanes... need I say more?
Time is coming to an end Prepare for the worst to come You arise but your life has run dry Show me the answers I've been looking for Where did they come from? I never wanted it to be like this Lose what you have in mind You all will be taken away
Nothing seems real anymore I am no stranger of hatred and lies We're lost and there's nothing left Fear is the only thing that keeps us alive Lose what you have in mind What keeps us alive You all will be taken away
Burn this place So we can celebrate A start of a brand new day New beginnings time for change New beginnings time for change
Don't always hide the fury and sit in silence The less I hear the more I'm scared Feel the victory and jump into a sea of serenity Let the water clean your dreams Afraid to let go of everything
Trying to keep unity and make a statement But you bleed your head is spilling All the judgments All the wars All the rivalry we face Is leaking on the floor
When will it be okay to come outside When the storm is dying and the rain is done The composure of my soul is harmonized By the sounds that travel into me
Show me the answers I've been looking for Where did they come from? Nothing seems real anymore I am no stranger to all of this bullshit Time is coming to an end Prepare for the worst try to keep unity Make a statement but you bleed your head is spilling All the wars All the Rivalries The composure of my soul is harmonized By the sounds that travel into me
Ok, so I changed my mind about the lyrical song I was going to review. I originally said I was going to review a "Job For a Cowboy" song but I changed my mind to review this song because it has more lyrics and flows better I think. The song is "Now Arise" by "Born of Osiris." The song starts off pretty heavy with a more complex time signature. The guitars use a method called "Djenting" which gives the guitar almost like a bow sound. Unlike alot of modern metal songs, there is alot of keyboard and synthesizer use in this band's songs. It makes the song sound fuller and makes it seem like so much more is going on. I will post the lyrics with the video so you can see how well they flow with the sound and rhythm of the song. As for the meaning of the song, it was tricky but pretty much in a nut-shell the song is about the illuminati and the rebel between the high power and normal people. The song keeps it's heavy pase except the last minute where everything stops. The guitars ring out then there is some creepy string picking without distortion. The drums come in sounding like an electronic set which are not very loud or complex. Then the singer repeats the last verse of the song a couple times while still songing the same way. It fades out while he is still singing.
This song is an instrumental song written by my favoutite band's guitarist Alex Wade, from Whitechapel. I chose this song because it is the heaviest instrumental song I have heard. Alex has a couple side project songs but this is by far my favourite. The combination of intense drums with 8-string guitars tuned down to drop A makes it so heavy. I love searching the internet for the next heaviest song. Nothing is too heavy. But I do appreciate all kinds of music, except country. I will post another song by another band I love, Job For A Cowboy, that has lyrics so I can analyze the lyrics.
Hey whats up? My name is Stuart Dunlop and I'm a grade 12 student at G.D.C.I. I have lived in Goderich all of my life. I play the drums as a hobby but hope to make it a career someday. I play drums in a local metal band called "Anatomist". We just finished a 4 song EP so I will post a couple of our songs on my blog so you can have a listen and give feedback of what you think. The more feedback the better! I also work part-time at Zehrs in Goderich. I used to play sports such as baseball and rugby but drumming and the band has seemed to taken most of my time. I apreciate all kinds of music ranging from Death-Metal to rap. The only music I wont listen to is country, R&B and pop. I love horror movies and comedies. I used to love action but now I'm more into horror. My favourite band right now is Whitechapel ( a Death-metal band from Knoxville Tennese). I may seem quiet or shy in class but just talk to me and i'll always talk back. There is alot more to me but I think thats the basic stuff.
