First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gekHV9DIjHc Lyrics:

This thread has been sleeping too long. We've had three episodes with Peter Capaldi so what are your general thoughts on this regeneration? I for one am enjoying Doctor Who again after going off it during Matt Smith's tenure. I'm very pleased that they have brought back an older actor to play the role - it's hard to believe that Peter is the same age that William Hartnell was when he first started. I'm actually looking forward to the next episode. Thoughts?

Ever wonder what Epica (Symphonic Metal band) would sound like if it was cut back to the barest bones? Epica - Dreamscape (Live Acoustic Version - Pinkpop 2014) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b9q8ybwKNU

There should be a few solid album releases this year, fingers crossed. Here's a song from one of them - Delain with their own brand of Pop Metal. Delain - Your Body is a Battleground (Official Lyric Video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKZgAVygp9A And since no-one has posted anything in this thread since my last post (above) I'm editing it to add in this second lyric video from the forthcoming new Epica album. It's one of their heavier sounding songs with quite a few growls - you have been warned. I'm not a fan of growls in general, but I can put up with some. Epica - The Essence Of Silence (Official Lyric Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oePrtEMmX9Y

And now for something a little less mainstream... some Pagan Metal from Russia. Arkona - Liki Bessmertnykh Bogov http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgXlUxDGFvU

Sorry for posting another Within Temptation song again so soon, but I really like the effort some fans put into their videos to showcase a song they like. I used to love Within Temptation (my favourite album of theirs was The Silent Force) but I would be lying if I said that I'm loving their genre move into Pop Metal/Pop Rock. They still come out with the odd little gem, but overall it's all much of a muchness to me. Anyway, I enjoyed this video (the song is okay) and wanted to share this on the eve on the new album being released. Within Temptation - Let Us Burn [Demo Version] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28IcpDypsxk

The single from the last album by Blackmore's Night (2013). I don't like Candice's choice of dress or the boy's hats & sunnies in the video, but the upbeat folk pop music outweighs that. Blackmore's Night - Dancer and the Moon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTdSm4Rn1XA

Happy New Year, folks! Here's my first offering for 2014 - the debut single from Demist, a Symphonic Metal band from Belgrade, Serbia. Not a bad effort for a debut song. Demist - Faith Remains http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lms0y6m-Q1g Lyrics:

The latest single from the third Sleepthief album. It features Joanna Stevens (Solar Twins, Delerium) who is an old favourite vocalist of mine. She's getting older (aren't we all) but proves that she still has it in this track. I haven't quite worked out the message in this song, but it's catchy electronic pop so who really cares. Sleepthief - This Means War (feat. Joanna Stevens) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_TCi-b6pPI

Sarah Slean - Society Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7p0TQeRTw4

I haven't seen any great music videos in my own wanderings of late, so here's my favourite track from the last album (2012) by German Folk Metal band Lyriel followed by one music video they did for that album. Lyriel - Repentance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HPFyfpEJEk Lyriel - Wenn Die Engel Fallen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rabXohC-jDQ I've posted the translated lyrics of this second song in the spoiler box below.

Indeed - thanks for posting that little gem! And what? No-one has posted a single Eurovision song? Sometimes some light 'n fluffy pop is just what the doctor ordered. Here's my favourite song from this year's Eurovision. Margaret Berger - I Feed You My Love

I recently came across one of my old favourite Nick Cave songs on YouTube and wanted to share it with you. It never had a video clip made for it, but someone has put together a nice slideshow for the song that fits it nicely IMO. The song originally came out in 1992. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Loom of the Land http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zpggRaUbX0

Two songs from Dutch symphonic metal band Delain (the band was formed by former Within Temptation keyboardist Martijn Westerholt in 2002). First, the second single off their latest album (2012) and then an older fave of mine from 2006. Delain - We Are The Others Delain - See me in Shadow

Two more Epica songs. Sorry for the Epica overload, but I didn't see any of their songs in this or the previous music video thread. First, one of their older songs which also happens to be a favourite of mine, and the second is their first single from their latest (2012) album (warning: there are some male growls in this one - albeit fleeting). Epica - Solitary Ground Epica - Storm The Sorrow
