Dantesco – Pagano (metal)

A bel canto operatic singing style would seem the polar opposite of the guttural shouting that passes for singing on most metal albums, but if you think about it, opera and metal aren’t that far apart. Melodrama, pretense, Vikings – I’m surprised someone hasn’t thought of this before. These mythic odes are in Spanish, adding to the mystique.

Try this: you should be able to click here to hear a Dantesco song in Rhapsody:

Slide 1 Remember when Dick Tracy, James Bond, Maxwell Smart, all had that "edge"? Live scribe - what the Smartpen can do Livescribe Pen is a ballpoint pen with computer and digital audio recorder embedded on it. That's when I hit on the idea of converting my Mac into a virtual Dictaphone, the kind of remote-controlled tape deck that professional transcribers use. Along with this Olympus VN-8100PC Digital Voice Recorder, you get the fantastic customer service for which TheNerds.net is known. The Nokia C5 reviews say that this basic phone gives ultimate performance at a very affordable price.
