The new album is complete garbage, so there's no way I'm hitting the concert—especially seeing as Snowy is back to doing the vocals and designing the stage show again. 🙄 When I saw them back in 2004, thank god they hadn't started with those power vocals and Snowy Shaw yet. 😁🙏
Good heavens, look at this guy. He’s even got 333 in his handle—that's the number of materialism and destruction in magic, which belongs to the demon Choronzon. 😂
Astral vampirism is an incredibly fascinating practice.😁 Some people even use advanced methods for much more sophisticated purposes.👍 There’s a specific form of vampirism—one famously practiced by figures like Oscar Wilde—that is so potent it can actually drain a victim to death with nothing more than a single kiss.

He told me the same thing, but clearly he didn't follow through. I can dig up some Therion for you if you want; I'm sure there's some tracks you'd dig. 😁
Looks like it’s been canceled. Tristania and Finntroll were supposed to open, but apparently their schedules are just too packed over the next few months.
Susan Nguyen85 said:Come on, you have to admit Al Nemo is good! 😁 Have you heard the new Therion yet? I haven't been able to track it down myself. 😢
Buy Cinnamon arrived right when I was in the States. 😁 It’s brilliant—definitely stands out from the usual symphonic albums, but honestly, it's my favorite. With 21 tracks, you can really sink into the Therion sound. 🙏 Therion Lemur might be a hair weaker than Sirius b, but they're both fantastic. It's fair for them to price it a little higher than a single disc. The Planet version is a double digipak $52 that I picked up in Cleveland $58.

Is it because the artists are, say, from Mexico? Is it the instruments? The singing style? Or maybe how people act while listening to it? As far as I can tell, when people listen to folk, it just puts them in a great mood and makes them happy. They aren't starting fights or anything. Or is the dancing considered primitive? If that's the case, then I think punks are even more primitive when they're slamming around and throwing 🙂. Not to mention those political activists who get rowdy at rallies, everyone lost in their own world, waving hands and dancing with lit cigarettes—watching some guy spin a cigarette 😵. If that’s our metric, then we’re all incredibly primitive. 🙂
If a certain genre doesn't suit us, I don't believe that's a valid reason to call it primitive. In my view, someone making such a claim simply because they dislike something actually shows their own lack of sophistication 🙂. Thank goodness the world is built so there's something for everyone. We all find ourselves in different things. It's just easier to say, "they're idiots." And when forced to explain why, it becomes "because they're Mexican"... 🙄
Later.
hollowseal33 basically answered you; I'll add one fact—it doesn't matter where the artists are from, bad music is just bad music. 😁 Shallow tracks like "Case, I'm breaking my hands, they're bleeding" 🙂 With music like that, we'll never make it in Europe. 😂 Turbo-folk is bottom-of-the-barrel.
Kevin Chavez3 ironfalcon18, wouldn't you actually prefer it if folk music was considered "primitive"? You know, all that stuff about being primal, pagan religions, Vikings, swords and magic, all that... 😁

I wasn't talking about primitivity, I meant tradition. You totally misread me.
Country music fans—or "rednecks" if we're being honest—are hands down the worst thing to ever happen to music. I genuinely can't wrap my head around how anyone listens to that stuff. 🙄 Purely primitive. 🙂 And then people have the nerve to call punks and metalheads the bad guys. 😲
