Stormlord - Mare Nostrum [2008]
THIS IS THE CURSE OF MEDUSAAAAAA! Gee wiz, this song, in the live version, is so brilliant, although I usually don’t like live recordings but this just kicks ass 
Anyways, a few hours ago the Council Music Group (CMG) released Stormlord’s newest Album. Nothing much to say, except support this small band by attending at their gigs and recommend them to your friends 
Stormlord is an epic black metal (self-classified as “Extreme epic metal”) band from Rome, Italy. They have released four full-length albums. Their prominent use of keyboards compared to many other black metal bands gives their sound an epic feel, much like power metal.
Most of their songs have an epic theme, recurring to stories and characters from Greek Mythology (Zeus, Hades, Persephone, Prometheus, Medusa, Titans), and battles. Their vocalist, Cristiano can sing in two voices: the first one high pitched, which is relative to black metal and the second is more guttural and monstrous, which is relative to death metal and often used for choruses.

Downloading!
The game is better then the band
\m/ definitely getting this.
please post the new equilibrium album when its out jeje
ofc. we will post about the new equilibrium album
Please post the new Paradise Lost dvd
This band is obviously better than rap music BUT is it better than halo 3?
What kind of freaks listen to this music anyway!
Just look at the picture, what a bunch of spastics! Only people who have serious social issues like this type of music … goths, emos, or whatever they are calling themselves, I don’t know cause I just couldn’t care less about them.
Why do RLSLOG even post SH!T like this! I know its a log about different releases, but come on, post about something interesting!
Please unlike those mentally healthy people who listen to hiphop and club music
@TempPD
You’re stupid. I listen to many Metal genres and I don’t have any social life issues. I don’t dress like a goth/emo nor like a metalhead. I don’t even wear bands t-shirts.
Go die.
@ 14 Orph,
Fine, I won’t disagree with you on that point but a lot of songs by these types of groups have some devil/death/etc theme attached to them. Almost every song is about live sucking, feeling bad and depressed, anger, and so on.
Hiphop is people trying to think they are “gangsta” or however its spelt, I’m not sure. They are all like “I’m so cool, I’ll shoot you with my AK, fool” or whatever, white sub-urban teens thinking they are black (I’m not racist b.t.w), and other stuff like that. I won’t even start on it.
About club, well that depends on what type of club music you talk about. Most commercial stuff is harmless enough, you and your mates might have a few beers, be in the nightclub and dance around, its grand. The hard-house scene has its problems too, extasy, LSD, cocaine, speed, etc but that is a whole different ballgame.
What I am talking about generally is social acceptance and appearance. While you would see wannabe rappers or whoever around the streets, or on the rare occasion a person looking like they were going to a rave, they are still not thought of as outcasts. That is what those goth type people are like, social outcasts, “freaks”, wierdos, and whatever other generalisation is given to them.
@13
you did a very lousy and childish attempt at arguing on the Internet.Your arguments are pointless and have no weight like your very low T-cell count.
What’s on the line here, nuclear holocaust? The universe collapsing to critical density? Or just the ego of a wanker who needs attention to reaffirm his own sense of self-intelligence?
I like Metal and pop. That means I have at once impeccable taste AND my opinions have no weight. OH f**k NO PARADOX. How does that work ?
orph I agree with your post! but hiphop is not music
Sorry
@ 15
Why would you tell a person to “Go die” because they have an opinion about some topic?
I do know that people do listen to the music and don’t take it any further than that, which is fine and I respect that, which I believe is what you do, but just take a look at the picture of this album. Can you honestly tell me that those men look like honest respectable gentlemen? (especially that man at the bottom of the picture)
Arguing about matters of opinions is pointless cause you can’t account for taste
TempPD you are right! 50 cent is a better model… sorry I have to go tell 12y daughter to stop dress like a prostitute like in hiphop video
Nothing is on the line, I never even mentioned such a thing. I’m stating my valid opinion on this genre of music. If you, or others, disagree with my opinion, that is perfectly okay with me because I’m sure you probably have your own valid opinions.
About reaffirming my “own sense of self-intelligence”, that is not the case as I have got a BSc (Hons), MSc, and a PhD in Computing (Software Development) and I am still in my early 20’s.
I am very open-minded, have many friends in different cultures, countries, races, backgrounds, etc but I do feel that people who dress like that are deliberately trying to make themselves seem detached from the normal society.
@TempPD: nice point of view! But you got in the wrong post to make it
these ppls are stuck with their love for the metal thing and they won’t let it go. You can’t do anything about it cause they won’t listen to someone who is “out of the box”. That’s sad …
we need a degree in Software Development to understand intellectual music? You think Metal is the opposite of intellectual music? Sorry to disappoint you The only effort you’ve put forth is making yourself look like an elitist..
@24
What’s over my head, the fact that you prefer to dress like everyone else ? Or that you think you have a better understanding of what you think is good music?
I’ve tried to listen to this kind of music, but I couldn’t.. why? because it’s mostly noise and a dude with his balls probably tied up who f## screams!!! Why can’t you see that listening to screams it’s stupid?
and damages your hearing? c’mon man 
TempPD = troll
anyways nice post…you can never have too much metal.
@ 22 ninjass
Where did I ever say the 50 cent is a better model? Please don’t try to make up things based on my opinion.
I don’t listen to this type of metal and despise most metal heads but I love playing devil’s advocate
@25
I never mentioned anything about “intellectual music”, what are you talking about? I couldn’t care less about what qualifications a person had when it come to what type of music they listen to. In post #18, you were talking about reaffirming my “own sense of self-intelligence” and I simply stated that I was not and that this was certainly not the case.
If you were to talk about “intellectual music”, I believe that Classical music would be based under this category. Theatre, Opera, etc would be, in my opinion, “intellectual music”. What are your views on “intellectual music”?
I don’t know what #25 was talking about also maybe he could clarify
they seem awesome Extreme Epic Metal xD i love epic metal and I do like abit of Black metal here and there soo ill give em a listen xD

Also, orph, why are you referencing your own comment in post #24
I love your posts, Over!
@33
Because I listen to Metal which means I suffer from a vast number of mental illness not limited to schizophrenia
I like metalcore and some other metal, but who can take these type of leather clad homosexuals in denial seriously?
Nerds who had no way to be cool at all trying to prove they’re hard by growing out their hair and wearing tight leather. Somewhere they really lost it. And the people who admire them are even worse.
@HArl
I’m sadden to see what you catholic priest rape victims turn into when you attempt to grow up into adults do you comb your mullet and constantly push up your glasses, stroking your inferiority complexes by flexing your huge intelligence.
i would like to agree with TempPD.
but it’s a losing battle, you are simply outnumbered here. metal + geeks go hand in hand somehow.
And fanboys like johndyke love stroking it with both hands
Fine, I won’t disagree with you on that point but a lot of songs by these types of groups have some devil/death/etc theme attached to them. Almost every song is about live sucking, feeling bad and depressed, anger, and so on.
————————————————————-
You get these topics in Metal, true. But “almost every song” is way to over exaggerated.
Can you honestly tell me that those men look like honest respectable gentlemen? (especially that man at the bottom of the picture)
————————————————————-
Oh, i didn’t know that Willem Dafoe was a bad guy in real life, because he played the Green Goblin in Spiderman… HEY WAIT! how can he be a good guy now in Anamorph?? Its all about how you act on stage and off stage…
these ppls are stuck with their love for the metal thing and they won’t let it go. You can’t do anything about it cause they won’t listen to someone who is “out of the box”. That’s sad …
————————————————————-
Metal is my fav. genre.(dot) I still like to listen to other things too. Now dont act like your patting TempPD on the back with the meaning “dude dont waist your time with those guys” or something like that. Since this is a metal post: “nice point of view! But you got in the wrong post to make it” what the hell is there to argue in this post? either you like it or you dont. you cant prove any points about music in posts at all…
@ 39 Over
May 18th, 2008 | 21:38
With those film references you are reinforcing my main point about appearance; it’s about what it represents.
true. but you still cant judge from their appearance if they are gentlemen or not, since what you see atm. is “on-stage”
+
if you actually are introduced to a new band. you usually just hear them, before you see pics of em. except you watch MTV all day~~
@40
And you are not being a constructive member of this community by making so many pointless negative post
isn’t that your problem with the “metal” look ?
I think TempPD just won the internet argument!
I don’t think so, Tim.
Yes he won! and winning internet argument is serious business
@ 41 Over
May 18th, 2008 | 22:03
Yes, I totally agree with you but I am talking about the people that follow that theme and believe in it. How can one be, lets say a sadist (ya I know, not all sadist) on the one hand and be a gentleman on the other; they have conflicting interests.
haha, lol @ 45 ninjass May 18th, 2008 | 22:17
It really does not matter who wins, actually there is no winner, just people left at the end of it with different opinions. There are no facts or whatever involved here, just conflicts of opinion.
Let’s all kiss
Sadism’ refers to sexual or non-sexual gratification in the infliction of pain or humiliation upon or by another person.
————————————————————–
sadist?
+
who says they are really satanists just because they sing about it and stuff?
He has based his whole argument on stereotypes
heh yeah, well i am off to bed –> gn8
I do believe that there is a good chance that the bands are not Satanists but they (sometimes) sing about morally wrong topics. I don’t want to argue about what’s “morally wrong”. They do sing about pain, it being inflicted, self-inflicted, emotional pain, etc.
Their general audience (not all!!!) take this as being true, a way of live, whatever you want to call it.
If you do truly like this music, could you explain why you like listening to songs about depressing issues?
How many metal bands have you listened to ?
Metal is a broad genre with a vast amount of lyrical content not limited to he subjects you have mentioned
Hey let lets listen to some hiphop while we shoot cops and rape white women
@ TempPD
Jesus dude, are you going to sit on here all fking day arguing?
Why don’t you go out and find a girlfriend? Noone cares about your opinions.
His girlfriend left him for a metal head hence the resentment towards metal and the fine people who listen to the genre
@TempPD
Are you really basing your opinion on whether or not someone is a Gentleman by how they are dressed?
I’m sure Harold Shipman wore a suit.
You want to know why people like metal. Because it is vast and diverse. Theres metal, heavy metal, power metal, doom metal, death metal, progressive metal, folk metal, melodic metal, thrash metal, gothic metal, black metal, and many types I haven’t even named. There’s different types for different tastes. I like metal, but I don’t like all metal. I’m not going to rag on the band or people for their taste in music. And not all metal is depressing, that’s just what your little mind thinks.
@ 53
I never said I liked hiphop. If you don’t like the opinions just ignore them … yes I know, I can do the same about this topic too.
@ 54 & 55
I have a girlfriend, she is doing exams at the moment so she is studying in my room beside me.
Anyway, I am getting tired of arguing and I’m not going to do it all night. I have better things to do.
Worship Satan 666, *goes to eat some humans*
*Is also a trained computer programmer and musician*
I’m just glad the world doesn’t consist of drones who all want to be the same. If it did, this would be one hell of a boring existence.
I respect people who have the guts to be themselves.
I think I just won
I would like to thank Satan loloolljkjkjkjkjk

njoi people
TempPD: So why does someone with a BSc, MSc and a PhD in Software Development, still in his early twenties, come to a place like this to pirate warez, movies and music? Couldn’t you just, you know, buy the stuff? I mean, you surely ARE quite the successful fella, am I right?
His “girlfriend” cost a lot per hour
wow! i didn’t expect to see this here, been waiting for new stormlord for years. love it
If I picked friends by the type of music they like I’d have even less friends than I already do. BUT I still think the guy on the left is very amusing. He’s making a muscle and has a great arm band thing around a little skinny arm that has never seen the inside of a gym. Why? And the look on his face. He’s look the same way if he was an accountant. I think the same thing about many “alternative” type people. They really look exactly like they would if their life went a different direction, but they don’t realize it. they “think” they have accomplished something with their appearance. Or something?
I’m starting to save some of these album pics. I don’t know what for, they’re just too funny to lose.
after carefully analyzing each and every your comments and hours of personal research, i’ve come to my final conclusion that metal is indeed for geeks/nerds.
furthermore, TempPD proved that most “metalheads” are incapable of objective thinking (see above comments for proof) and react with out of context comments such as “go get a girlfriend” + “go listen to hip hop” etc. to compensate for their lack of knowledge about music and/or life.
i mean come on, in all seriousness, just one look at the picture above, don’t you “metalheads” see whats wrong? i mean really.. if you think looking like THAT isn’t already a crime then i am sorry to tell you that you have been mislead.
and thanks rrpostal @67 for the idea to save these album pics.
they might come in handy when i’m feeling down and depressed cuz of my harsh life as a straight up thug.
TempPD: First of all I won’t hear this rls, because it just irritate my ears. But other ppl likes it. Second, I don’t have proper English.
“Almost every song is about live sucking, feeling bad and depressed, anger, and so on.” “If you were to talk about “intellectual music”, I believe that Classical music would be based under this category. Theatre, Opera, etc” So example Blues is an intellectual music? Because more than the half of it is about live sucking, feeling bad and depressed because our lover left us, don’t love us, etc. Theatre, Opera: the situation is the same. Mad kings, devils, killers, Romeo&Juliets, whose killed themselves because feeling bad and depressed, and because life sucks. Humanity likes to suffering. Why? Go ask it from your philosophy teacher in the university. If you just try listening more metal, you will see, that not all of them about satanism, and death, and anger. Try example Amorphis. They are a hard one, but they should fit to your ears. Or Nightwish.
An lol man, these guys in the picture is just pathetic.
You have to remember this is entertainment, just entertainment. So what if I like lyrics (which are something I don’t really care about in music) about satanism and death, they’re interesting… Not as bad as idiotic christian lyrics in my books
metal: I clink, therefore I am
Nice try. But all wrong. Like this band.
I love reading the comments whenever “one of those bands” are posted. Quite an unusual genre.
good blackmetal album definitely, their older stuff also worth of a listening.
