Oh breath don’t fail me now, my heart beats firm and proud. Oh feet dare carry me towards a calm shore. Oh eyes would you deny a shadow does reside in warring winds and in the landscape of my mind. Darkness gently takes my hand, guides me towards desolate lands, gloats while whispering his commands. Sing forth, unleash the siren. Wild soul, soar and obey. Bow down, no more defiance, all your cries will be futile. Sing forth, unleash the siren. Wild soul, or burn at the stake. Bow down, dance on the pyre. Crucified! Erased! Oh stand my ground, be soulward bound. Once upon a darkened night, pure evil shone his light: “Sing forth, you worthless witch, or face your own demise”. Claws ensnare my weakened voice, tightening slowly with his words, douse my flame without remorse. Sing forth, unleash the siren. Wild soul, soar and obey. Bow down, no more defiance, all your cries will be futile. Sing forth, unleash the siren. Wild soul, or burn at the stake. Bow down, dance on the pyre. Crucified! Erased! Ah! Maleficence is here. Ah! In eerie nights and waking dreams. Viator peraudax provoca timores. Delius hum Vader dixit: Indigna Delius hum Vader dixit: Obdura Delius hum Vader dixit: Te perdam Delius hum Vader dixit: Te deferam Sing forth, unleash the siren. Wild soul, soar and obey. Bow down, no more defiance. Crucified! Erased! Thou hast, unleashed the siren. Behold, I will prevail. Go forth, build your own pyre, all your cries will be futile. Thou will, face your own demons. Behold, hellfire awaits. None shall delude the devil. Crucified! Erased! ✧ #diannevangiersbergen #DIANNE #afterthestorm #Soulwardbound #soloalbum #symphonicmetal #frontwoman #womaninmetal via YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGI-f90QbDs

Scouts op het podium

Schiedam – Op een podium gaan staan voor een groot publiek is best eng. Toch durfden de bevers en welpen van de Scouting Tono-groep dit zaterdag tijdens de jaarlijkse PlayBackShow.

Winnaars waren de 6-jarige Kim van den Graven bij de bevers en de 10-jarige Floor Lemon bij de welpen.

“Ik had best goed geoefend”, zo straalt de 6-jarige Kim, “maar was best nog wel zenuwachtig. Maar nu heb ik wel gewonnen!”. Floor Lemon was zo mogelijk nog zenuwachtiger en volgens haar moeder ’s nachts meerdere keren wakker geworden. Toch waren beide scouts ontzettend trots op hun medaille en wisselbeker.

“De playbackshow is al een echte traditie bij de Scouting Tono-groep”, zo verteld Monica Pool, een van de vrijwilligers die de playbackshow organiseerden. “Sinds 1986 doen we dit elk jaar, en de namen van alle winnaars staan op de wisselbeker.. Zelf heb ik de playbackshow bij de welpen gewonnen in 2008. En wat zo leuk is dat je ziet dat de kinderen het allemaal ontzettend spannend vinden, maar ze hiermee wel net hun grenzen weer iets verleggen. Weer iets meer durfven dan er voor, dat is voor mij echt Scouting”.

In de jongste categorie, de bevers (4 tot 7-jarigen) is Luuk Lemon derde geworden, Svea Svetselaar tweede en mag Kim van den Graven de wisselbeker een jaar thuis houden. Bij de net iets oudere welpen (7 tot 11-jarigen) werd Shannon Spruit derde, Eva van Gerven tweede en komt de naam van Floor Lemon op de wisselbeker te staan.

Descifrando a After Forever

“ Decipher ”

Es el segundo álbum de la banda holandesa  de Metal Gótico “After Forever” salió a la venta el pasado 21 de Mayo del 2001. Este álbum cuenta con doce canciones de corte bastante melódico y con las voces soprano en alto estado de evolución, resulta un gran álbum para el movimiento de metal gótico, ya que cuenta con temas líricos acordes, además de una elaborada música, combinación de fuerza, guturales y la hermosa voz de la soprano. Este es el último álbum donde participa Mark Jansen antes de retirarse de la banda por diferencias creativas con el resto de los miembros.

Fue producido por Stephen van Haestregt  y Oscar Holleman bajo el sello discográfico Transmission. Para muchos admiradores del Metal Gótico, este trabajo es una verdadera obra de arte. Las canciones tienen un corte bastante melódico, la voz de Floor Jansen tiene un nivel mucho más alto que en su anterior trabajo titulado “Prision of Desire” del 2000 y siguen participando colaboradores en los coros principalmente en latín.
