NOW PLAYING

Blind Guardian - This Will Never End
This album has somw gems and this is one of them. I love the screaming motif. Also, Tanelorn (Into the Void) kind of sounds like part 2 of this song, at least in the chorus.
 
Manowar - Highlights from The Revenge of Odisseus EP (2022)
(Metal) Album No. 291/365

View attachment 23932

I must admit Manowar do quality works in general. Haven't heard that yet, but they got the Achilles epic just right. (Poem of Iliad is not about Trojan War in general, it's one among a series of (lost) epics and this particular is dealing with the anger of Achilles and its consequences).

Problem is that Iliad has so many sequences, characters and things going on that in the end you lose track and overlook the fact that all the poem happens in about 50 days and which only 4 or 5 of them are actioned in the poem (the rest are described in fast fwd mode as "more 12 days have passed" this kind of thing)

Here they hire two Epidaurus-level actors and Sakis from Rotting Christ translated the text into ancient Greek.
