I'm the type of weirdo who doesn't look for originalitythe or something unique in nee bands, and I love original tribute band (bands that write new music, but who try their best to sound like other bands). Doesn't mean I don't like originality tho, cuz I appreciate that as well. It's just not a must or anything gor me personally.
 
But truth be told, I haven't found a single new vk band that I find interesting in ages. Think the last was Grieva, and that's what? 5-10 years ago or something?
 
Some of the reason is ny own fault tho. Like most other scenes it's almost overflowed with bands, but I don't really have anywhere to find the new, good bands. Finding new, good western music of all types and genres are easy as hell because I got places where people will make it easy to find the new bands, but I don't have somewhere to look for new, good vk bands.

Man, this was weird. And this is why I love watching movies without getting any info about them whatsoever. I can't say much other than the fact that this is one of my favorite movies with Nicolas Cage, he nailed it. Linus Roache also did a fantastic job in his role (just realized he's King Ecbert in Vikings wow). Also the cinematography is top notch. I highly recommend this one.

While mot VK og Japanese at all, there's already bands named both Yersinia Pestid and E.Coli. Heh.
 
Really like Yersinia Pestis as a name. Awesome bandname!

Cool! If you're interested in exploitation movies I'd also recommend checking out a lot of her filmes. Starred in some of my all time favourite movies and movie-franchises. Female perfection!

@Bear  just felt in love with her music,fantastic recommendation !
 
 
 

One of my all-time favorite actresses and she just happens to be one of ny favorite singers ad well. She's just amazing.

Still though. Hiring a well-known rip-off and massively disliked person to be in your band isn't all that clever to begin with. And releasing the album on his label, which again is well-known for ripping people off, is just as stupid. But I bet he's learnt from this, and I hope he gets the justice he deserves here. Such a dickish move from Bart, but sadly expected.
 
 
 
So let's all enjoy the original, and much better, Batushka. CULT OF FIRE!
 
 
 

We've got some Batushka drama on our hands.
 
 
 
As far as I know, Христофор is the actual creator of the band and the one who's written 100% of the music and so on.
While Варфоломей is merely the vocalist and nothing more. He's also a known rip-off whom people within the community really dislike.
 
Even without knowing the actual story behind this it's hard not to take the side of Христофор.

Can't wait to see what they'll call the 'other' Batushka... Batushka A.D., The True Batushka, Ba2shka, Христофор & The Babushkas...

Not against this at all. Fucking love Netflix and how they work, and I'm positive towards a project like this.

Me neither. But the first four Rhapsody albums are golden, Power of the Dragonflame is good and both Symphony of Enchanted Lands II - The Dark Secret and Triumph or Agony are good. But not sure I've actually checked out the stuff after Triumph of Agony. It's not like they ever renewed themselves, so I kinda felt I had enough albums.
 
 
But I totally recommend Luca Turilli's Rhapsody and ESPECIALLY Luca Turilli. Because both King of the Nordic Twilight and Prophet of the Last Eclipse (inspired by Luca's love for sci-fi films, and especially Event Horizon ) are as good as Rhapsody at their best.

Rhapsody, man. Dear God!
 
They started out as Thundercross in 1993, released a demo under that moniker in 1994 and then changed their name to Rhapsody in 1994/1995 and released their second demo, but their first as Rhapsody, in 1995.
 
Then in 2006 Rhapsody had to change their name because of some legal shit, and changed it to Rhapsody of Fire.
 
In 2011, Luca Turilli and Patrice Guers left Rhapsody of Fire and started Luca Turilli's Rhapsody. After a couple of albums Luca Turilli decided to end this, and departure from metal as a whole.
 
2016, vocalist Fabio Lione who had been a vocalist in Rhapsody since 1995 left Rhapsody.
 
2018, after Luca Turilli and Fabio Lione have toured as Rhapsody and played some farewell gigs, they had such a nice time that they decided to form a new band. Turilli / Lione Rhapsody
 
 
How fucking amazing isn't this?
 
 
 
 
 
 
Guitarist Luca Turilli is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time btw. The shit he did with Rhapsody during their first three albums, Luca Turilli and Luca Turilli's Rhapsody were good. An absolute maestro as far as I am concerned. So much good, cheesy and fun riffing it's impossible not to be impressed.

Jup, but they only bought the rights to the movie after Warner Bros. decided they wouldn't take the risk because of how poor Batman v. Superman did. The people involved, like director Adam Wingard, writer Jeremy Slater, producers and and a part of the cast were already on place before Netflix bought the rights to the movie.
 
While a complete shitfest, they did the right thing by not trying to change the creators vision for the film.
 
 
But no matter how we see it, Netflix is the better choice as far as adaptions goes IMO. At least at Netflix the people who make it might make it the way they want. At other studios, they won't because they have to make sure they first and foremost please all the people who have never even heard of the original product, before they start thinking about the fans of the originals. Which puts such limits to the projects.

But that's the great thing about Netflix, they're like a modern day Roger Corman and they work way, way different from most other studios. They're giving the creators and INSANE amount of creative freedom. If they like your idea, they'll give you a certain amount of money and just keep their hands off and let you do whatever the fuck you want. If you want your TV-series to be only 6 episodes, they'll let you keep it at 6 episodes without pushing for more no matter how popular the series is and how high the demand is for more. If you want your movie/TV series to be bizarre and weird as fuck, they'll let you do that even though they know it most likely won't get them the money back. If you want to make something so slow 98% of the world's population would die of boredom within the first 45 minutes of the movie, you're free to do so. There is no restrictions whatsoever.
 
When you produce for a major company of a certain size your main goal will always be to not please the fans, but please the regular movie goes. Because it is them who will earn them the money back, not the actual fanbase. So when a big company produce a movie like Ghost in the Shell (or movies based on books like The Hobbit), the movies simply won't be aimed towards the fans of the original anime.
 
With Netflix you will, if you want, be able to work towards pleasing the actual fans of the source material because they have the freedom to do so. They don't have to double or triple the income like the studios does. 
 
So making movies and TV-series for Netflix is like still being an indie filmmaker, just with a much, much bigger budget.
 
And this is the reason why I don't mind Netflix doing it.
 
 
tldr; Netflix will give you a massive amount of freedom to do as you please, something other, major studios will not do. It's such a huge difference between something like Netflix and HBO and regular studios.
 
 
 
 
So if they can get a writer/director who is actually a fan of the series, I have no doubt they'll be able to bring the anime justice by making something great. So in my eyes, that's where it lies. Can they do so? I don't know, but I hope they will.
