To state it clearly and precisely: we do not make percussion instruments, handpans or hang drums. Playing the drums is a different language. The imitators of the hang allow playing with sticks or gloves. We make the hang for the hands, beyond any playing techniques.

An excerpt from this here blog post https://www.hangblog.org/newsletter-panart-may-19th-2010/

Right. Well, turns out there are about a billion different handpans from other companies, and they are expensive as all hell. :awesome: I'm just a fan of tuned percussion.

At least I, as an old heavy fan, know them very well (Alestorm 😆) and many more. In this genre I have preferences especially in Melodic black / death Metal and Prog Metal
I like groups like Tool, Genesis of the 70s with Peter Gabriel, in the current Vintersea, Gojira, Rotting Christ, Behemoth, Moonsorrow and some more

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

This band is like Jim Morrison, The Doors, Velvet Underground, Jefferson Airplane and Hendrix. Really underrated:

Not sure where I first heard of them, but there's a British group called Hybrid that does a lot of electronic music that I like. Some stuff of theres I can listen to endlessly...

A word of warning, Agent Denton. This was a simulated experience; real LAMs will not be so forgiving.

Absolutely cool, I fully agree with you, but I would add Led Zeppelin to your list! :)

Thank you for sharing, I will try to get all their CDs! I am asshamed that I missed this band till now. I even knew a song from them that has been used in the first season of True Detective, but I did not investigate the band name. Clicking on the first track you have posted, I immediately recognized the voice and then was able to verify my assumption:

Wish I could get a lossless version of this song. I always loved it. Specially how it starts soft and gets more aggressive later.

 

 

The Playstation 1 version of this game had the better quality version of the music by far. The PC version's soundtrack was compressed and muddy, probably 22KHz in ADPCM, which was always a shitty sounding codec, but also used all over the place in the 1990s.

Wow, I'm impressed seeing so many fellow metal heads on the forums! Moonsorrow was mentioned by several members, definitely in my top 10 bands. Though I would probably classify them as black metal (with folk and progressive influences). Shout out to Devin Townsend too, I mostly know him from listening to Strapping Young Lad, but an excellent musician in general.

In general I'm an equal fan of death metal and black metal, and mainly Nordic bands, but there is good stuff from all over the world. I'm particularly a fan of the early Swedish death metal scene with bands like Entombed, Dismember, Grave, Grotesque etc, and the later Gothenburg scene of Melodic Death Metal like Dark Tranquillity, In Flames and others (both of which I've hung out with at concerts, Gothenburg is a small town ^^)

For Black Metal it's mainly Norwegian and some Swedish and Finnish bands like Darkthrone, Immortal, Gorgoroth, Lord Belial, Bathory, Dissection, Moonsorrow, Impaled Nazarene and many more.

 

But when it comes to mapping in DR I tend to go for something that's a bit more chill and puts me in the zone. I usually listen to some kind of Dungeon Synth or similar, for example:

Sounds like those old Adlib sountracks - Dune 2, Daggerfall etc.

 

Btw, random, out of the blue hardcore song that my head hurts from listening too much bc I just can't handle dat bass:

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
