Random Track of the Day
Monday, September 26 2011
And so another week begins, Monday we all hate (even me, who doesn't have to go to work), but once it's gone we can start looking towards the weekend. It's also the last week in September, so just get ready for those Christmas songs on the radio not too far from now!
When I began Random Track of the Day, the first or at least one of the first bands featured was this one, Epica, and here they are again, this time from a compilation album called “The road to Paradiso”.
Quietus --- Epica --- from "The road to Paradiso" on Transmission
Driven almost entirely on violin and string section, “Quietus” is almost an instrumental, with just choral backing vocals and some whispered/gutteral words accompanying it. It's quite something to listen to.
