I am sorry you were disappointed by Dead Can Dance. Not all of their albums are the same quality. 'The Serpent's Egg' is an excellent album that should not be missed. While their are stylistic differences, I think it is undeniable that Dead Can Dance have influenced Ataraxia more than most other modern bands.

Russian metal? I have heard Arkona and think they are very good. I particularly like the conservative values that their singer, Masha Scream espouses. She encourages young women to put motherhood before career, not an opinion commonly expressed by female musicians.

I have probably heard other Russian metal bands on You Tube. I am a big fan of Hate Forest/ Drudkh, but they are from Ukraine.

I know what you mean about getting tired of bands.

Perhaps Ataraxia are a little too serious. Part of why I enjoy metal and punk is because they are very earthy. I like sophisticated stuff like Ataraxia, but I find it a bit highbrow sometimes.

I suppose you must be keen on Dead Can Dance if you like Ataraxia?

Have you ever heard Faith and the Muse. I heard a couple of tracks from their new album and it reminds me of Ataraxia.

Hi! :))

Hello, friend! I,m fine.Thank you for your visit.
A kiss!

Hi! your background is amazing!!

Interesting point about the similarity between his style and eastern icons.

Certainly there is a lot of mysticism in Blake that is similar to eastern Christian thought.

Blake's work is saturated in Scripture, but I doubt that his interepretations were very orthodox, in either a western or eastern sense.

One interesting thing about Blake's illustrations of Job is that Job's wife appears in nearly each picture, making her a full participant in Job's trial.

I do love a lot of Blake's artwork, especially his illustrations of the book of Job.
I do not, however, regard him as a Christian in any meaningful sense. I am not an expert on Blake, but from what I understand his thought is an odd mix of Occult Gnosticism and humanism.

Hello!! thank you, muaks
