Представляю вашему вниманию талантливую группу из Финляднии!конечно кто-то зайдя в эту тему скажет что групп с женским вокалом много и нового ничего в этом стиле придумать нельзя)в какой-то мере такой человек и окажется прав..но..лично для меня эти ребята открытие года!очень классный дебютный альбом они выпустили..глоток свежего воздуха прямо..женский вокал просто обалденный!он придаёт особое очарование их музыке..гроул кстати присутствует)..советую всем любителям фемэйл-фронтед металла ознакомится с этой командой..при хорошем стечении обстоятельств их ждёт большой успех!правда были в группе и неприятные ситуации со сменой участников...к слову кстати-альбом записывал сам Tero Kinnunen!это говорит о том,что группа реально интересная)так что слушаем и высказываемся!
Группа очень понравилась, спасибо, ShadowWolf, за ссылку
Здорово, действительно ощущается что-то новое.
Соотношение женского вокала и гроула в самый раз, на мой взгляд Вокал очень красивый, хотя конечно хотелось бы послушать их живьем UPD: Хотя судя по всему это вокал предыдущей вокалистки
Ну а то что, альбом записывал Tero Kinnunen - присутствие его имени говорит само за себя.
Бонус-трек 'October Rust' будет выпущен вместе с японским изданием диска, так
что буду ждать, фрагмент на myspace зацепил
Интересно было бы узнать о происхождении текущей вокалистки
Какая интересная группа! Я совершенно случайно о ней узнала - слушала в контакте Aurora Borealis (Eternal Tears Of Sorrow), а следующей по списку следовала Aurora Borealis этой группы. Обе конечно красивые, но их песня получилась с характером. И гроул у них гораздо больше приглянулся. Решила найти информацию в том же контакте. Инфа показалась сначала противоречивой, в одной биографии певицей значилась Магдалена, а в другой Евгения. Но потом все встало на свои места, Магдалена ушла из группы как раз перед выходом альбома (букв много, но очень интересно):
It was early in 2007 when I, your humble narrator Vasstago, decided to found the band with Magdalena. We thought it would be wonderful to join my throat voice with Magdalenas dramatic soprano voice and make brilliant powerful melodic gothic / fantasy metal.
Magdalena, who is 1st founder of the band, is also the main-composer, keyboardist, violinist & vocalist of the band. She started very early in her childhood to play violin, piano, guitar and some other instruments too. She started also to sing and to make some compositions as a child. She had already her first big concerts as a child for a big audience.
She graduated from the classic academy in Russia as a music teacher and continued her studies in Sibelius academy in Helsinki. She have played and sung in different bands, orchestras and choirs.
She has studied opera singing f.e. with professor Juri Statnik (Bolshoi-Theatre, Moscow), studies with Anna Karlsson (Finnish National Opera, Helsinki) and Master Classes of professor Irina Gavrilovici (Vienna). Magdalenas voice is dramatic soprano with a powerful, rich, emotive voice with dark timbre, so she can sing over a full orchestra.
I, Vasstago have sung & made lyrics in different bands in the past and I make the lyrics in this band too. I also help Magdalena to compose the drafts. Im the 2nd founder of this band and I am also the throat vocalist in it.
We had quite clear effigy with Magdalena of our music & style and we started to make the first drafts of our songs. It took us a lot of time to find good musicians and a place for practising but finally we found Peuge, our drummer, who also found a practising place for us.
Peuge, our drummer has a lot of experience of playing the drums. He is an important member of our band and he arranges Magdalenas drafts for dark & heavy metal.
Very soon after finding Peuge we also found our guitarist & bass player - Tomi, who has a lot of experience as the musician too. He also composes and arranges the songs with Peuge and Magdalena.
Итак, группа была образована в Хельсинки в январе 2007. The band was complete and it was time to start the real working. That started finally in the spring of 2007. I came up with our band name "Tears of Magdalena" at that time. The name describes Magdalenas composing work born inside her sensitive and emotional heart.
After one year of hard work all efforts were paid when we signed a deal with Scarlet Records. We found Tero Kinnunen (known also from Nightwish) who was really interested in recording and mixing our debut album. So, recordings started in February 2008 and Mika Jussila from Finnvox studios finished with the mastering at the end of May 2008. It was great pleasure to work with such professional persons.
We had couple of gigs during the summer but then Japanese biggest record label, Marquee Avalon also wanted to release our album. They wished to have a bonus song only for Japanese markets. Therefore, we went back to the studio to record a song called 'October Rust'. This is really great opportunity for the band to get publicity also in Japanese markets!
After having problems with Vasstago for several months, we decided that our bass player, Tommy, takes over the male singing parts.
During fall we were training for gigs, and also we were working hard with promotion. Just before album release we started to have disagreements with Magdalena Lee and decided to go separate ways. However, we were fortunate to find very talented classical singer Jevgenia. She has all qualities we were looking for: beautiful classical voice, strong experience and great personality. Jevgenia is also known from famous symphonic metal band Kivimetsän Druidi and she has been touring around Europe with KmD/Korpiklaani.
New members bring a lot of new 'blood' to the band and we can't wait start working with new material!
As now we have a great gang together we are ready for gigs.
..есть у меня подозрения, что Евгения из России, но хз.
Интересно было бы их сравнить, поскольку альбом записан с Магдаленой, а новую солистку мы еще не слышали. Но внешне Евгения гораздо красивее :grin:
PS: надеюсь, они и без Магдалены еще всем покажут, надеюсь - потому что она же уних и композитор, и скрипач, и идейный вдохновитель в некоторой степени. Мне ее стиль понравился. Хотелось бы в дальнейшем творчества тоже в таком духе..
Mielikki, Вообще, там был жесткий спор между ними - Между Басистом-Гроулистом, Магдаленой, и Гитаристом с Барабанщиком. И вот суть то как раз в том что они, первые хотели себе присвоить название, хотя Гитарист утверждает, что группа как и песни были созданы в большей части им Вот так. Ну в общем, думаю у них все получится
А, я кое-что забыла добавить в биографию, да:
Actually the first five months the band name was 'Dream Liturgia', then we had several suggestions for the band name and Peuge finally decided the name 'Tears Of Magdalena'. Это название придумал Пег, барабанщик. А в другой биографии Vasstago, который гроулист, утверждает, что это он кейм ап виз нэйм.. короче, две правды.. Vaatago, наверное, тоже ушел.

это вокалист, он тексты писал. Тогда спор между драммером и Магдаленой с вокалистом. А гитарист видимо тогда не причем..
хм..
I see in the northern sky
Again the magic of the winter night
Like colourful dancing curtains
I will never forget this moment
According to the legend
When foxes made fire
Sparks they whisked
Up into the sky
I'm the child so favoured
Under bright mystic glow
Now she is whispering for me
The goddess of dawn
Aurora is calling me
My name is written into the solar winds
like flames in the sky burning bright
I'm the child, conceived under the northern lights
According to the legend
When foxes made fire
Sparks they whisked
Up into the sky
I'm the child so favored
Under bright mystic glow
Now she is whispering for me
The goddess of dawn
the Sky is turning red like bloodshed
On the battlefield of many thousands dead
Listen to the mystic sounds when spirits are whispering
And singing for the god of north wind
According to the legend
When foxes made fire
Sparks they whisked
Up into the sky
I'm the child so favoured
Under bright mystic glow
Now she is whispering for me
The goddess of dawn
Cut 'Em Down
They came across the sea
Landed in the coast of Pommer
They entered to south saxony
During the thirty years war
from Breitenfeld to Lutzen
from Leipzig to Lens
The Battle after one by one
The were ready to the next
The finnish light cavalrymen
With the helmets and the swords
The warhorses ready to fight
Across the rivers they forded
In the service of king Gustavus
With their glory and their pride
They raided, attacked savagely
Through the enemy front they rode
No mercy to the enemies
Dust clouds, finnhorses breath
Fight with courage to the end
From dusk till the dawn of death
Their strength and camaraderie
Their battlefield success
They were well-respected
By their adversaries
Attack - Scream your warcry
Fight proud with courage - Before you die
Attack - Scream "Cut 'em down"
Kill 'em all now - Burn down their town
"Our fatherland awaits us in the land of the snow
blazing flames in our beach and storms strongly blows
our hands fill the air with our strong mighty swords
there faith and the honour of brotherhood strongly glows
they forded across the Neva, snorting horses like war-beasts
and swan over Vistula like hurrying to their feast
like the avengers they bring their sabres over the Rhine
'til from the Danube they all drank the emperor's wine"
Poetically partly translated by Tears Of Magdalena
of original swedish verses from The Finnish cavalry'battle
march by Zacharius Topelius.
With a leather armor and a breastplacte of steel
they fired the pistols then draw the sword
Immortal Love
It's a long time ago
Do you remember the place
where we first time met and now again
Our love lit like a flame
You told me I'm your light
in the dark side of your life
and your heart will burn for me
in eternity
Even if nightstars would fall or sun would rise no more
My heart and my soul belongs to you
Even if mountains would fall or storms would break the walls
My love and my life belongs to you
I don't want to live
without your love that I need
I want to soar like a seagull
You are the wind under my wings
Forever we dare to try
Together we learn to fly
searching peaceful place of world
for better life
Even if nightstars would fall or sun would rise no more
My heart and my soul belongs to you
Even if mountains would fall or storms would break the walls
My love and my life belongs to you
Let me show you my world
Let me sail across the seas
with you to the eternal land
somewhere there is promised island
and there we will find peace and love
away form sorrow and despair
and our love will be evergreen
in the paradise you've never seen
My darling can't you see
Oh darling you must believe me
Our love is immortal and it is real...
Even if nightstars would fall or sun would rise no more
My heart and my soul belongs to you
Even if mountains would fall or storms would break the walls
My love and my life belongs to you
The Eastway
They came from the west
throught the storm across the sea
one thousand men armed
with their swords and shields
Somewere there was a strange land their never thought,
it would be so far from home
They sailed with their ships
across the rivers and lakes
with courage and pride
like proud sons of god Odin
The were varangians from the west - they were vikings,
the warriors of town holmgard
Then two tribes rebelled
against their conquerors
driving 'em overseas
back into their land
After conflicts the tries invited 'em back,
to rule 'em, to bring order and peace
They roamed the rivers
enganging in trade
merchants who raided
and colonized new lands
They served as the bodyguards of the emperor,
the warriors of town miklagard
Hej skеl hej
hej skеl hej
nu skеlar vi för dig, hej hej
They sailed with their ships
across the rivers and lakes
with courage and pride
like proud sons of god Odin
The were varangians from the west - they were vikings,

the warriors of town miklagard
Hej skеl hej

In The Silence
Everyday I feel, so lonely
I'm bird in the cage
captive behind my bars
I've lost my lust to fly
Everyday I feel so sad
depressing thoughts in my mind
I want to sleep away
but I'm afraid to die
In the silence
there's no peace
in the emptiness
there's no life
Everyday I feel unhappy
in my meaningless life
I'm sinking into despair
in the sea of distress
Everyday I feel so bad
depressing thoughts in my mind
I want to try once more
but I'm afraid to live
In the silence
there's no peace
in the emptiness
there's no life
War inside my head
I'm not sure, am I alive or dead?
In my dreams, there's no pain
in my dreams, I am free
in my dreams, like an eagle
in my dream, I am flying so high
In the silence
there's no peace
in the emptiness
there's no life
War inside my head
I'm not sure, a I alive or dead?
Nightmare
I have seen a nightmare -
one terrible scary dream
When devil came to me
and tried to take my heart
You tried to scream, you tried to breath
when devil spread its wings
and tried to strangle you
in your bed at night
Was this true or a dream, I didn't know
until I woke up frightened again
Dancing with the devil
dancing all your life
you had no love
only broke dreams
Every night in my dreams
it haunted in my mind
"what do you want from me,
leave me alone" - I screamed
Your heart is the gate,
and your love is the key
the way from hereafter
back to the mortal world
When I had all my love
but for nobody to give it
Dancing with the devil
dancing all your life
you had no love
only broke dreams
When you give your love to me
I will bury my bad dreams
and then this evil will ends
and love will live forever
for you - and for me...
Dancing with the devil
dancing all your life
you had no love
only broke dreams
Mermaid
Into the blue, where seaweed grows
there is home of sea-maiden
I sink with your last breath
until I kiss your lips
I follow your shadow
'til I find my sweet
I cry for you, flow my tears
Where are you my prince, my dear
I'm your mermaid in your dream
I'm waiting your under deep blue sea
come here my darling and release me
Into the blue, where seahorses swim
there is home of sea-maiden
dive with me into the unknown
until I touch your soul
I follow your shadow
'til I fall in love
I sing for you, burying all your fears
Where are you my prince, my dear
I'm your mermaid in your dream
I'm waiting your under deep blue sea
come here my darling and release me
In the middle of the night
when the moonlight is so bright
form the deepness of black ocean
she will come and sing again...
Where are you my prince, my dear
I'm your mermaid in your dream
I'm waiting your under depp blue sea
come here my darling and release me
Your Blood Is My Wine
She came to me
in the middle of the night
again into my dreams
like an innocent child
I'm your beast of the night
if you call my name
I'm your wildest dream
be my wicked game
Let me bite your neck
your innocent soul will be mine
let me taste your mortal blood
'course your blood is my wine
Her icy sweet and bloody kiss
I felt on my lips
her bare body, pale as death
I touched her virgin skin
I give my love to you
if you join me
together we will ride
behind black cold sea
Let me bite your neck
your innocent soul will be mine
let me taste your mortal blood
'course your blood is my wine
Have you ever dream of
a place you've never seen
take my hand
and come with me
I let her lure me -
our last journey
into the paradise
has just begun...
Let me bite your neck
your innocent soul will be mine
let me taste your mortal blood
'course your blood is my wine
