Hilarious R'lyeh Dreamlands moment (SPOILER)

*grin* I miss the old Cliff Burton Metallica that would reference Lovecraft every album.

I quite like old Metallica too, not because only of the Lovecraft references but because it sounds good. But I also like the newer Metallica too. And a lot of other music.

Speaking of Metallica, music and Dominions...a finnish band called Apocalyptica is worth checking out. Lots of Metallica covers...played with...cellos! It's wonderful stuff, one of my favorite bands. Their version of Nothing Else Matter is the most beatiful song I've ever heard.

And their own songs fit Dominions...heck, they even have a song called Harmageddon.

I prefer older Metallica, but that's just a preference. I liked the epic, thrashy, 8-minute long compositions and prefer them to the more conventional structures they started using as of the Black album.

And I'm familiar with Apocalyptica. IIRC, they even did a soundtrack or two. Maybe a Neil LaBute film. But yes, that version of Nothing Else Matters rules.

I'll try to play Apo as background music for Dom 3 sometime. Some of their songs are too fast and metally to be anything else than a battle theme but they have also more ambient works. They also have made their own version of Hall of the Mountain King which is a classic.

But ah, this is getting off topic. But I just try to promote Apocalyptica since I enjoy the band's music greatly. Kinda like I try to promoto Dominions series to other people.

And then I have to apologize to them when I start to ramble about Basalt Kings. BASALT KINGS!

Absolutely true. And shows that Metallica have (had?) pretty good music, too - it's not just played loud and fast.

Bad fate would befall me if I said "if it weren't play too loud and fast", right? I'm listening to wha tI think is it right now, with a strangest search result ever. A page with nothing to do with Metallica or Apocalyptica, that plays some kind of cello music in the background, and which turned up in a search for 'apocalyptica "nothing else matters"'. Eh?

It is very nice, I have to admit.

Hm I never heard about Apocalyptica. However I prefer dance music, and as I see this is a metal band.

If you want thematic music, there's always the Cthulhu Carols sung by members of the HP Lovecraft Historical Society.

I sent a copy of their "A Very Scary Solstice" to my sister one Christmas. It's possible that she's forgiven me for that by now, but my sending "Alien" for her birthday probably didn't help.

I just got D3 today, now I have to sit and work while looking at the desktop icon for 8 hours or so.

Of course I had to install it and start up a game to make sure it works... looks great, already have a Kraken (named C'Thulu, of course) slumbering in the deeps waiting for my labors to end.

The goal for the first game is to have the kingdom self-implode in chaos and insanity. I'll consider that a victory.
