Listening to a lot of mesarthim lately... I call them "The Mike Oldfield of black metal" :lol:

 
Classic Australian Rock, with a cameo by a classic Australian Airline at 01:22...

 
An oldie has been making a small come-back.

Luckily nobody pays attention to the lyrics except for the chorus. :lol:

Its only a matter of time Nurse Ratched.
 
ZZ Top

If you have a Netflix account, there's a great ZZ Top documentary. It kind of spoils the mysticism, though. So decide whether or not you want the band to become like real people first!

One big difference now with COVID-19: I usually listen to new music while driving in my car, since I spent a lot of my free time there.

Now, I have gone my to listening to it on notebook or smartphone... currently at the new Nightwish album here.
 
After a few runs, I must say, I can't understand the critics at all there. This sounds absolutely like Nightwish. From newer material and even back to old Oceanborn times.

Especially this one is a great song, that might have worked with Tarja, but sounds much better with Floor - especially those precise switches to belting sound great with Floor, that has usually been a Freddy Mercury speciality. The composition always sounds a bit like it might have been from Oceanborn (melody) or Angels Fall First (Clean male vocals), but has a level of complexity that the band developed much later, especially that great transition from the first instrumental into the final verse before the spoken word passage... Yes, that is a musical three-course menu.


And yes, it is strongly astronomy themed. It is named after and dedicated to Eugene Shoemaker. The song is build upon the same quote from Romeo and Juliet that was engraved into his memorial capsule that crashed on the moon. :hailprobe:
