A shot in the dark here, but are you a fan of Cannibal Corpse, Torana? They fall in the same sort of genre I listen to most of the time, but I was always a little put off just by the band's name. Gore doesnt sit well with me -- I always have to excuse myself during epic battle scenes in films. Are they recommended for the squeamish? I'm always looking for new music to add to my collection, but I was always a little wary about this band... And, right now, I'm listening to "Farewell Proud Men" by Leaves' Eyes. I absolutely adore Liv Kristine.
"Tallulah" by Sonata Arctica. I never have been able to get over the lines: "Tallulah, it's easier to live alone than fear the time it's over. Tallulah, find the words and talk to me, oh, Tallulah. This could be heaven." Words of from broken heart, anyways.
Sonata Arctica is a fabulous choice if you heart is in dire need of repair yet all you want to do is dwell in your own self pity. "The End of This Chapter" by Sonata Arctica.
