DioAs my first personal-chart review was read by over 340 people, without any negative comment, neither positive ones (*smiles*), I guess it seems okay to write such and I will continue now with these in a monthly rhythm.
So the revolution of the female fronted metalbands continues, even if not as much as anticipated. Whilst Stream of Passion continued to conquer the Top 50 and even reached the Top 15 now, Epica had to shed feathers but still keeps their 12th position.
So on the Charts for the last three Months, maybe the best statistic for the actual musical taste, Opeth not just lost their leading position, they also dropped to third behind the now leading Stream of Passion and Epica.
Completely new in my library is the swiss band Eluveitie. I like their Album "Evocation" a lot and listened to them so much, that they made it into my Top 50 in just one week, also winning the "Weekly Top Artists" Charts then.
But as I mentioned earlier, the revolution hasn't unfolded as much as a I thought, seeing a Band like Iron Maiden as a weekly winner. But I was just in the mood for this kind of music these days :).
When we talk about new bands in my library, I have to recommend these to you:
Beautiful Sin
Virus IV
Aesma Daeva
Darzamat
I think they are more than worth a short mention, but as time runs out I have to keep it short. Especially the first two bands are extremely good if you like Bands like Triosphere or Amaran, bands with a strong female voice in the lead and not too boring music behind them. All these bands are far off the cliché of being in any way something like a "Gothic Metal Band with female vocals", so even typical Heavy-Metal Fans of Iron Maiden, Dio, Saxon or Judas Priest. Surely a female voice is different and some do hate that, but I think they are quite nice to listen to :). Give them a try!
All in all I not just made my 1.100th Muician/-s in my library, I even topped that with a whopping 1.128 Artists now. And that without more than two hours of listening to the last.fm radio in my whole two years after resigning here again! My harddisc isn't even halfway through with music, so there is still a lot to come!
Greetings and have a nice Christmas and a very much better new year!
