Your kidding right? The industry has belched out crap for the last ten years with no guitar solo's and nothing but rhythm tracks for the masses of sheep.On another note for Petra; Listen to some BLack Label Society and you will understand what I meanfreakie1one said:I personally find guitar solos annoying.

No, I wasn't kidding. I've always disliked 99% of guitar solos. I started listening to metal in the 80's and it seems guitar solos have been overdone so much that now they just get under my skin. But then again, I stopped listening to metal about 10-12 years ago so I'm not too familiar with anything recent.OneEyeRed said:Your kidding right?

Ha! That's good. However, this is more my taste (please excuse the low quality audio)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCW_d4aAfZEAfter metal started to become more mainstream I shifted to mostly industrial and EBM.YarpenZirgin said:and what if both are in one song?

Ok .. maybe I need to clear some more things up on my comment. There is nothing necessarily wrong with Vader and Death Metal in general. I made the comment about Nightwish simply because I feel they put a lot more thought and time and feeling into their music. So maybe the up tempo sound of Nighwish couldnt have fit the bill either for this game but lets face it. The lyrics Vader put together for this game make me wanna hurl. If you actually read the ' backstory ' and spent some time getting to know the game I have no idea how they could come up with the lyrics they did for this song. It was commented, that the game inspired the music, however-from the very real opposition to that comment it was said that developers from CDProjekt CAME TO VADER which makes my comment about crappy lyrics even more clear. If your heart/soul isnt into something (as clearly the developers of the witcher have their heart and soul into this game,) then you are going to get a what you see from Vader. An empty conglomeration of words to go with neat effects and a scratchy voice. So, this is not a track inspired by the game, this is a track inspired by 'the thought of having a death metal band do a joint video with cd projekt in order to help promote the game' which, IMO was done poorly and without much thought of the game itself. It seems a bit funny to me that some people are actually sticking up for Vader ...... A rose by any other name is still a rose. And that goes the same for sh¥sta.Schtraider said:
I liked the intro (roughly the first 40 seconds), but the rest of the song is... as a fan of Vader I'd be pretty pissed. This song is so simplistic it could be in the charts, at least here in Germany. Probably the only thing keeping it from being in the charts here is the singing, which I liked, except for the lyrics, of course, and the lack of publicity in the media.Nevertheless, it's a nice move to do this with a polish band, not just with any generic band that's currently well-known.Regarding Nightwish:I really used to like them, every once in a while I still listen to the "Oceanborn" album. I agree with Petra (I think she said that), that Anette's voice just sounds like any generic pop-metal girlie out there. Don't like it too much, but I guess it fits now that they're becoming more and more mainstream. I don't think a song by Nightwish would capture the dark world of The Witcher too good, either. They're still quite romantic, after all, I can understand that Vader fan (Stormbringer, I think?) referring to them as kitsch. I would like some bands, that are not black, death or goth metal (or whatever you call Nightwish's style nowadays, I get confused with those substyles pretty easily), but still manage to be somewhat dark and brooding. Nevermore (one song example here would come to mind, who always manage to amaze me with every album they release. Also, they tend to have great lyrics and have a great range of songs, from really good ballads like this one up to nice neckbreakers like this one It doesn't always need to black / death or goth metal. But I doubt something like that might happen, because they are neither polish nor are they really popular, so this deal would be pointless, except for people who already are Nevermore or The Witcher fans
