March in Music
A little delay, here comes the report of how I listened to music in March. First off, most played bands.
5. Amaranthe
This still doesn’t strike me as a chock, since they are the bands with the most songs total in my on-the-go iPod, even thought it doesn’t feel like I listen to them that much. But apparently, I do!
4. Sabaton
Not a big shocker. I did honestly think they’d be higher seeing I’ve seen quite a few shows with them this month, but I guess not. Still going strong in the top though. I blame my sudden love for “Blood of Bannockburn” for this.
3. Battle Beast
Ah here they are! An excellent release in “Bringer of Pain” and a show that was better than most sends the group up to a higher place. I swear to God, “Bastard Son of Odin” is really MY song. Seriously.
2. Epica
Epica delivered some great shows in Helsinki and Stockholm, and “The Holographic Principle” is such an awesome album.
1. Twilight Force
Well, I guess this answers why Sabaton has been so low this month – it’s the introduction of Twilight Force. I feel so stupid, because I’ve rapidly grown to like them a lot, and well, it feels stupid – this is all honesty, as I have so many friends who are already into them, and here I come a little late. Well, at least I never spoke shit about them. So, with that said, I’m not surprised they are on top!
Lets move onto albums.
5. Bringer of Pain
No surprise! The new little masterpiece by Finlands now, in my eyes, most promising bands. I’m certain my love for “Bastard Son of Odin” is pushing this a little bit higher, but aside that – this is one killer album.
4. The Power of the Ancient Force
Well, considering Twilight Force is amongst the bands in my top artists, it’s not a big surprise their albums would make it onto the list. “The Power of the Ancient Force” is their debut album, and I really like it.
3. As I Lay Me Down (Single)
This is awesome. So, you know how I love Wiktoria? This is the single for that very song, and it has made the third place on most played album. And very well so, the song is just that fucking amazing.
2. Heroes of Mighty Magic
Another one of Twilight Force’s albums, I think this one might be a tad more epic than the previous, but it’s too soon for me to say too much already to be honest. Check back in a month or two, haha.
1 . The Holographic Principle
This album is absolute killer, and not to mention, “Beyond the Matrix”. Seriously, I just love that song so much. This album has quickly climbed to be one of my favorites, but if it’s just a new crush or forever, is yet to see.
And lastly, songs. Last.FM really shows you top ten songs, but I’ll cut it down to five.
3. Touch in the Night – Battle Beast
Battle Beasts flagship is you like, and also my personal favorite. This song has so many memories to it, I can barely count anymore how many trips has this song as their “song of the trip”.
3. Bastard Son of Odin – Battle Beast
Another one of Battle Beast’s, another favorite, but a different album. Seriously, this is my personal bootcamp song.
3. The Real Me – Art Nation
So, you probably noticed how there’s three 3’s, and this is because all of these songs had the same amount of plays. Art Nation’s first single of the upcoming album, and I just love it that much. I can’t get over it. At all.
2. Emergency – H.E.A.T
Oldie but goldie! This song has rapidly risen, and it’s just… When you have so much music around, it’s easy to forget what you have, and then all of a sudden you just rediscover it and realize how much you love it. I’m so happy H.E.A.T is making new music again finally, I cannot wait.
1 . As I Lay Me Down – Wiktoria
Well, no surprise. I’ve been obsessed with this song ever since I first saw her in Melodifestivalen, and I cannot stop listening to this. Honestly. Beyond amazing. I’m eager to check out more of her stuff later.
So. That was that recap. I always find it somewhat facinating to see what songs you do actually listen to, and which you don’t.
