Thanks for tagging me, @citylighten
🎶✨ When you get this, you have to write down 5 songs you actually listen to and post them. Then send this (ask or tag) to 10 cool ppl✨🎶
Baggage- Bishop Briggs
Her voice and artistry are absolute mood.
Viral- Amaranthe
AKA, the song that's been stuck in my head for weeks.
Ghosts- Xandria
Another song that lives in my head rent-free. Also, is it just me, or does Ambre (the singer) look a lot like Kim Kardashian?
Damnation Flame - Amaranthe
Putting a very attractive band in vampire costumes = people will be coming back to the video... for the music...
Karma - Kamelot
Catchy and the message is legit.

My (possibly) unpopular symphonic metal opinions:
1. Epica are the best symphonic metal band and have been for a while.
2. About 80 percent of underground symphonic metal bands try too hard to imitate the more popular symphonic metal bands and they end up sounding like clones of Epica and Nightwish.
3. Nightwish were in their musical peak in the Tarja era but have consistently made great music after as well.
6. My biggest bugbear with symphonic metal by far is how much bands change their singers. If the singers don't write the music it's not so bad (ie. Nightwish), but when the singer has a role in the songwriting process, musical direction and is seen as a co-leader it really pisses me off when they are fired or are coerced into leaving the band, which happens all too often in symphonic metal.
4. As great as Floor sounds in Nightwish, her voice was better utilised in her older bands (After Forever and Revamp).
5. I have no idea why band members who are married decide to form a band together. It never ends well (see Leave's Eyes for an example of this).
The only times I am OK with prominent band members being fired is if 1) they deserve to be fired, or 2) they create a band which is better than the one they were fired from (eg. Mark Jansen formed Epica after he was fired from After Forever). A huge part of many band's identities is their singer(s). You cannot seriously say that Delain is the same band without Charlotte for example, since Charlotte had a role in the songwriting process there! She was a crucial part of the band. If Sharon left Within Temptation the band wouldn't be WT anymore, same if Simone or Mark left Epica. And don't get me started on how Xandria and Sirenia have gone through about 7 and 5 singers respectively and have both treated many of them like shit. It's gross.
