@Milos1995 No. Eight of Swords is a tarot card representing restriction. The first line in the song is "Eight swords form a cage." Jill Janus (vocalist) has a lot of interest in the occult.
@Davemetalhead2008 My best guess: Eight swords form a cage, the sky is grey I'm tied and I am blind, there is no escape prechorus/chorus: The cards will tell the truth The ??? Eight of Swords, Kill the heretic Eight of Swords, Devils cards of sin Let the witches in
(part 2) My clothes are red and torn, I stand in waste These blades could set me free, though fear keeps me insane Eight swords form a cage, the sky is grey I'm tied and I am blind, I don't want to escape (prechorus/chorus) These swords don't protect you, they bind you... Eight of Swords She said choose two, only one will do Let the witches in (prechorus/chorus)
"Pretty good metal, but it really doesn't help dispell the stereotype of women in metal being nothing more than novel eye-candy for pubescent males"
If that was all it was, I might agree, but she sounds awesome, and I'm sure she has a lot to do with the music and lyrics (see some interviews). Besides, metal dudes got their shirts off, long hair, going for some kind of warrior look. Why should the girls worry if the dark sorceress look has sex appeal? Why does it matter if the music rocks?
And people, be a little more creative than comparing one female/female fronted band to another. This looks and sounds nothing like Arch Enemy. The only similarity is the female vocalist. It reminds me more of Iced Earth or something. (Sorry about my tone. I'm not actually as pissed as I probably sound lol)
@Symbolanthus As I mentioned Arch Enemy in my post, I'm assuming this was directed at me. If you re-read my post, you'll notice I did not say they sound or look like AE. I stated that this band cant possibly be called the "best female fronted band" in metal when AE or Nightwish (with Tarja only) clearly surpass it. That being said, I agree with your post about chick/dude metal. As long as my balls tense up from the music it doesn't matter who's playing it. Homo? I guess I'm gay for metal.
@Allthatisunholy666 ALSO, let me say... I do like what I've heard from this band so far and I'm looking forward to seeing them (along with Turisas and Alestorm) on the Paganfest America tour. Ok now I'm done.
@Allthatisunholy666 Hey, man, no explanation necessary. I really wasn't directing that at anyone specific. I thought I saw a comment comparing Huntress to AE, maybe it was yours, but I could be wrong. Mostly I was commenting on the insulting and ignorant trend of not giving female bands fair critique, and this video happened to be the forum for my rage. But I agree, these guys have a few years to go before they have the same cred as certain other bands. Oh, and "gay for metal" made me lol.
Sweet track, but I got a beef. Why do almost all the suggested videos have to be from other female or female fronted bands? It's like "just in case you didn't know, this is chick metal. Chick metal bands are pretty much all the same, so if you like this you'll definitely like these other chick bands." There is no chick metal and dude metal. It's all metal for fuck's sake! It's that kind of shit attitude that keeps female metal musicians from getting equal recognition.
It sells by itself... is not necessary to call out the publicity service here!. It sounds to me very efective, a blend of past resources in Metal music, nice work!.
Something doesn't sound right in my opinion, i think the music could be more experimental to suit the vocals, however that's just according to my ears
@nechyyourself ha. its okay to be attracted to jill, nehama. i feel like it would be hard not to from either gender. cant wait for paganfest in nyc!!!
Id love to hear more clean vocals, as much as the screaming is awesome. I think the clean vocals of a woman in metal is actually pretty awesome. This is the first decent female fronted metal band ive seen so far.
kill the heratic?? this sounds like music for the false emperor! KHORNE WILL NOT BE PLEASED! for the glory of blood and battle, prepare for a very unpleasent..err.....situation!
This is good. Soo good. Shit man this is soo good. Fuck man. Sooo good. This is so good. So good Shit man. So good. This is so good. So good. This is soo good man. So good. Shit man. This is good. Really really good. Fuck man. So good. This is sooo good man. Shit man. So good
Another shitty bands, since when did big boobs make up for originality of new music, especially metal, everything sounds the same these days, don't care for this at all
