@96mastodon Best Ever? Every single Metallica song on their first 4 albums had a better intro and riff. Enter Sandman? Puppets? Seek and Destroy? Not even close, sorry! :-)
A samurai was an honorable warrior. Samurais followed a code of honor known as bushido. They we're often upper-class.
The ninja however, consisted mostly of lower-class people, which performed "dirty work" for samurais, like assassinating, spying and other things that would soil the samurai's honor.
@methylgofuckyourself Tended to be that ninja were used more as private police and spies by the Daimyo. The samurai were his private army, while the ninja he employed were his informants, and thus reported that which the samurai would not. Both had their uses, and both engaged in eachother's activities. Samurai could be used as assassins, or spies, but it was hard because of Bushido. Likewise, a ninja could openly be a samurai.
@luizo094 This is the first time I ever heard of this band, and I thought the same thing. I even had to go look it up to see if maybe this band was a side-project of his. The resemblance is uncanny.
@captainpegs07 lol. Its funny how ppeople like you watch vids just to troll them. Seriously, if you don't like it, hit the dislike button and move on. Don't waste space in the fourum saying the vid sucks, or the music is listened to by this age group only. Did a survey. Turns out most people, no matter what age, prefer music like this.
Our debut "Thousand Swords" has been nominated in the best best Melodeath/Gothenburg album of the year category in the Metal Storm Awards 2010. Vote us for the win or be killed by stealth!!!
@whisperedofficial That's awesome news! I hope that now that you have one complete album behind, you can start bringing new stuff to us faster than before. I personally waited for Thousand Swords since 2006, which is quite a long time. But the wait was definetely worth it! After tens by tens by tens listens I still get chills down my spine throughout the whole album, especially at the solo part of Of Honor.
@mrhanover bold statement....where did ur god rise from or fall out of?4.5 trillion years. thats a long ass time b.c. ...dont you think? lol...seriously...no matter..ur god originated from somewhere.who do you know you worship?
"being still alive makes me feel dead cold inside"!!!!!!!
parts of the demo version are cool, the thousand sword release should have kept the underproduced intro, but the rest was improved apon. that is an awsome cd Samurai Metal lol
I found this song about 1 1/2 years ago. I didn't remember the name, only the cover of the CD and something like Samurai Metal. I'm glad I found it again because back then this was to heavy in my opinion. But now I really like it !
But can anybody tell me which instrument plays at 4:45 ? I think it's the same which is always used in fantasy stuff for goblin background music.^^
The Music does sound pretty good. Interesting, I don't really see how they get Samurai out of it but idk or care. Let bands call themselves what ever they want :D
My only problem with this being called samurai metal is that samurai refers more or less to a class of warrior within the society, I'd be inclined to term it japanese folk metal, as it seems a bit specific to say samurai when the musical style is more about the culture of the time, not just the warriors, if you get my meaning.
@muslithefish I kinda agree with you, but almost all the songs by Whispered are lyrically about the samurais, their honor, Benkei etc. And I don't want to call this japanese folk metal, because it's Finnish, that would confuse many people.
@muslithefish I suppose then it comes down to whether you define it lyrically or musically. The musical elements are more japanese folk, but the lyrics are heavily based on the samurai, so I suppose it is debatable.
@muslithefish Its kinda the same like with Amon Amarth. Its Death Metal, even if they atleast sing about Nothern Myths, Vikings and that all. And its even their words, that they are Death Metal, and not "Viking Metal".
@ThanatosVergin But then again that doesn't mean that we can't call them viking metal... I call Amon Amarth viking metal, I call Alestorm pirate metal, I call Whispered samurai metal and I'm not going to stop calling them that anytime soon. No matter how much people come here whining about it.
@w1ldch1ld I havent whined a shit about I only said :P Atleast that "I" do not fit with those thousand split-names. ^^ But thats only "my" thinking :P
@ThanatosVergin I didn't mean you by the people who come here whining. Most of those whining posts have been deleted because they've been like "f*ck you samurai metal don't exits!!!1111". But thanks for posting something that actually has a point, and I kinda agree with you but I'm too used to calling Amon Amarth viking metal, Whispered samurai metal and Alestorm pirate metal, and it's not just me, but quite many people have accepted and started to use these new "genres".
@Jevoapartir Vikings more often refers to that society as a whole, though, I suppose it really should have been called norse folk metal if we wanted to get that specific. I suppose the only thing is the difference of what "viking" refers to when compared with what "samurai" refers to
@TheGtrMaster Folk Metal was founded by Skyclad who were kinda Thrash, and Viking Metal by Bathory who were Black Metal. Shit wasn't the same except for the Metal part. Now though the lines in between the two genres are pretty much a fucking mess.
@TheGtrMaster I have to disagree. "Swashbuckle's" - Cruiseship Terror is pure thrash, and they are considered pirate metal. Viking and Celtic metal falls under folk metal until I find a band that doesn't thrive off epic battle victories (i.e. Ensiferum) and drinking while dancing to an accordion (more ensiferum or finntroll)
i had to listen to this vid cuz that samuri on the horse was on a wallpaper on my phone and i had no idea. Damn fags r ripping people off of there cover art!1
That sound .. weird ... I don't think I have heard this before ._.
I really like it :D ... Thanks for the upload :D
It's not as generic or mindlessly brutal shit going on as most melodic DM nowadays... I really like that ... music is awesome ... not too heavy and not annoying ... with the right amount of good melody ... it's really awesome :D
I hope this gets released soon :D I love the solo :D
Hermoso tema, tiene toda la pudrición melancólica que puede tener para todos nosotros que escuchamos un tipo de mierdas como estas aguante Whispered y la puta que los parió.
P/D: recomendable para fiestitas y cumpleaños. Inviten putas.
Onko tää siis se lempääläläinen bändi? Kuulin tästä kitaristin pikkusiskolta joka kehu koko bändin maasta taivaaseen, ja kyllähän tätä sietääkin kehua!
And you can't call Scar Symmetry that because... ?
Anyway, I was looking at the tracklist of the upcoming album, and they've put this one right in the middle, with much faster & more energetic tracks in the start and at the ending. I think it may be risky, but who knows, maybe it'll work. Besides, the last song on the album ('Blade in the Snow') is still to be heard. We shall see.
Melodic Samurai Death metal? Surely it's melodic death metal that uses a samurai theme? Otherwise Scar Symmetry would be melodic sci-fi death metal. Well whatever... it's good. And thus in my favourites... the intro does capture the oriental sound very well
well, most of the offshoots of folk metal like pirate metal and viking metal dont really have unique instruments, its usually just the lyrics that characterize their sub-genre
i dunno if i agree with calling these guys samurai metal, but theyre about as "samurai metal" as alot of viking metal bands are "viking-like"
News & updates : 2.11.2009 Album is 100% ready! Our debut album is now ready and being printed! \,,/ Cover-art came up maybe even too epic! Release date? Unfortunately we don't have that yet. Straight from Whispered's site. We're hooking up some intresting opportunities so once again there's a delay. Yes it's frustrating, but we don't want to release this oni without someones careful plan to spread its terror upon the lands! Anyway new webpage, album info and stuff coming soon enough!
very good music , maybe a band with a very big future! i dont care about names or genres because it doesnt matter. the only thing everyone should care about is, is it good music or bad music. i think it is good music.
and for all the genre freaks: just call it Metal ok?
Enough of the genres now. Let's just focus on the music, ok? The debut album has been mastered for a while now, waiting to know the release date, and to see the music video!
uuh, some deaf people talk about metal genres hahahaha, very funny kids...grow older and be more open minded and you will lern why different genre names exist

Melodic Samurai Death metal? Surely it's melodic death metal that uses a samurai theme? Otherwise Scar Symmetry would be melodic sci-fi death metal. Well whatever... it's good. And thus in my favourites... the intro does capture the oriental sound very well

the "samurai" part of their genre comes from the fact that their lyrics are about bushido and they use traditional japanese instruments

@allthesametakemeaway I get that. What I'm saying is why does that make it a genre? It's just a form of folk metal
Raxisabominae 1 year ago
well, most of the offshoots of folk metal like pirate metal and viking metal dont really have unique instruments, its usually just the lyrics that characterize their sub-genre
i dunno if i agree with calling these guys samurai metal, but theyre about as "samurai metal" as alot of viking metal bands are "viking-like"
allthesametakemeaway 1 year ago
I know. But in the same sense I disagree they should be viking or pirate metal, just because of lyrical content since the genre remains the same

very good music , maybe a band with a very big future! i dont care about names or genres because it doesnt matter. the only thing everyone should care about is, is it good music or bad music. i think it is good music.
and for all the genre freaks: just call it Metal ok?
