This is ironic, cos today I just picked up the books to re-read the series for the fourth time in 2 years. Then, after I go on to check Facebook, what do I see? My friend posted this on my wall. Amazing.
Just kidding. This is without a doubt a Gem in power metal. Manticora, Dark Moor, and Stratovarius are the true kings of PM, because they each keep their own completely unique flavor.
True, levyundead is absolutely right. Those who are really loving of a band or artist, will buy the album regardless of having already downloaded it for free. That's what being a fan's all about.
I've never known that there's such a band, singing about one of my favourite sci-fi saga, The Hyperion Cantos:O And how awesome they are, geez, I've just became a fan!!
GUNSLIBGER FUCKING ROCKS the whole serie blowed my mind, lately i've been eating books and i haven't found any book as great as them, but i cant get a connection between books or this song??
This song talks about the poet/pilgrim Martin Silenus telling his life story and how he needed the Shrike to kill people in order to get inspiration and how he knew he'd end up impaled in the beast's three of thorns
People won't just buy albums from "unknown" bands. i Bet that,from 10 people 2 people heard about Manticora . This way the people will get a "taste" from this good band and will buy theyr albums and maybe some Tshirts or i dunno.Maybe they will show that album to more and more people till they will have loads of fans :).
Basically, you have no chance of ever knowing bands like these, until someone recommends them to you, or you happen to find them somewhere (recommended videos at YouTube are a _great_ chance for this).
anyone have a download link for the album? My dad doesnt let me buy online, its not at the store, and not on limewire and torrents dont work for me. INCREDIBLE BOOK
YES PLEASE!!!!! ALL OF THEIR ALBUMS IF YOU CAN!!!! I HAVE LOTS OF MUSIC AND I COULD maybe 'repay' you with some if you like if I have it. I will still buy manticora albums when they come in at CDplus don't think I'm just a pirate.
Awesome song! And the book is even better! I only hope that they won't ruin the masterpiece by making a shalow-minded movie out of it, but I fear they will, making a good Hyperion movie is about the hardest thing you can try to do in filmmaking.
PERFECT!!!
