The Circle of Music

There are things which normally happen to each and everyone. There are times we see similarities in our lives and how we live our lives. That’s what “circle of life” is all about.
You & I, present & future, thoughts & experiences that are similar yet different.

Now there are people who listen to different kind of music, some like rock and only rock feel everything else is bull crap. There are others who listen to anything and everything under the sun and sea. And then again there are people who listen to rock for a while and then shift to something else and from there something else. For me, there are a few bands from different genres that keep ringing in my head through out the day.

1. Disturbed
2. Kauan
3. Agalloch
4. Coldworld
5. Burzum
6. The old time songs like Pink Floyd, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath and many more

Now this circle is very intriguing, since it keeps me happy and it also allows me connected with my soul through music. In 24 hours of a day at least 14 hours is dedicated to music.

The other day when I was thinking and asking myself, “What I have learned from music and what have I learnt with various forms of genre?” Well, the answer was simple, “If you like it, then you will love it and if you love it, then you will stay happy. Well, I am not saying this is the reason for happiness, what I am trying to say is, listen to what you love and it could be a reason for your happiness.”

Well these days I have been listening to an unique amalgamation of these genres. Because I try and find new bands and see if I can connect to their music. Few bands that successfully have been in synch with me through such discoveries are

1. Amorphis (will be writing about them soon)
2. Inquisition (another one to be penned)

These two belong to different genre but I like hearing them. To put this in simple words, music is the food for my hungry soul and Music is everything I know of.

“Music is the bond”

Coldworld – The Best Black Metal I have known!

What do you think when it’s gloomy and about to rain? What is that you think when a thunder strikes? What is the feeling when air flows across your face? What do you think when the rain drops fall on your windowsill? Is there something new that I can foresee? For most, rain, thunder and cool breeze might ask for a cup of hot tea or a snooze time. But for me, the very same weather reminds me of - \Coldworld/.

Nothing beats them. Nothing at all and it’s so damn perfect. The intensity of the weather, the ability to alter your mood just like the strong rains lies with the band. The band has the power to make your imagination come true with the music creeping through your body and hitting your brains. You will realize that this is where I should be and also realize that you are living a fake life. It’s so addictive that every time you listen to it, you wanna live that life you begin to dream of.

Coldworld – Tortured by Solitude



This song is the perfect introduction to Coldworld, since it gives the hang of what I am talking about. This is most underrated band I have ever known. You won’t find a Wikipedia page simply because not much people know about it and moreover it’s a one man army band. And the guy who owns it doesn't want to publish like other bands in the world. He has his own terms and conditions which even I don't know. Anyways, what you find there (on the net) is not true. The information given is not true, It’s not a hardcore band; it’s an ambient genre band.

The next song which you must listen from Coldworld is “Hymn To Eternal Frost”, this song makes me feel thatmy leg and arms are frozen. It’s another magnificient piece music which you shouldn’t be missing. Just to add to the information what Coldworld does is “ColdWorld combines melodic Black Metal with influences from Ambient / Electronic and a breath of classic music” – Myspace General Info, you need to listen to this one

Coldworld - Hymn To Eternal Frost



Coldworld is something I would love to listen and I listen to it everyday, simply because I love it. I don’t need to say as to how it has influenced me, because music has different influences on different people.
Before I wrap up, I love Coldworld. There are few songs which I recommend to listen. Don’t get away without listening to it, because you definitely can’t.

Coldworld - Suicide



Coldworld – This Empty Life



And scariest of the lot Coldworld – The Old Ghost in the Well



And the last one I would love to listen without a miss is

Coldworld – Red Snow

The World of Burzum

Slavery isn’t a thing of the past! Some say it’s sinful. But should we care? For, I am one. Yeah, Black Metal! Do I need to say more? Deadly and effective would be two words that I think are apt to describe the power of Black Metal. Burzum, Coldworld, Agalloch, Kauan, are some that I hear quite often. While there are more, for now, for this post, I will keep myself restricted to Burzum. It’s not just Black Metal, it’s Burzum.

This single man army began in 1991 in Norway. A convict, for the murder of Mayhem’s Guitarist and also burning churches, is how Burzum began. During early days, by 1993 he had released two albums. He was imprisoned from ’94 – ’09, everybody thought that was the end. But then his passion for music was so great that he recorded two more albums while serving his jail sentence during 1997 and 1999.

Varg Vikernes (yes that’s his name), released another album in 2010, his first studio production and another one is due in March 2011. Like an irremovable body armor, his music surrounds your soul. The guitar riffs, vocals and the double bass drumming is just hard to get off your mind.

Burzum – Dunkelheit

The music speaks in this!

Burzum – Jesus ‘Tod



One of the awesomest song you will ever hear, this just beats the hell of all the black metal songs, there is one comment in the video, which is  “THE most purest Black Metal song, the Dark anti Christian riffs send my heart into Darkness”, this clearly sends a message as to what it’s all about.

Burzum is live on myspace @ http://www.myspace.com/burzumofficial

Listen to this and you will say to yourself, “I am ready to die.”
