Black Symphony Trailer

A couple of months ago now, Dutch metal band Within Temptation released a trailer for their upcoming DVD/blu-ray/CD, "Black Symphony". You can find more about "Black Symphony" here. The first minute of the trailer gives you a little information about the release, and the next four minutes are taken up by "Our Solemn Hour" from the 2007 album "The Heart Of Everything". Enjoy.




I presume this means that "Our Solemn Hour" was the first song played and will be the first song to feature. "Black Symphony" will be released on Monday 22 September.

Extra

After abandoning you again, I have some news about this site. I am adding another artist. Earlier on in the month, I bought "We Started Nothing", the debut album from British indie rock band The Ting Tings. I will hopefully have a review for you soon.

I probably won't add them to the banner just yet, but they will be one day.

They're Black

Dutch group Within Temptation are back with a recording of one of their recent gigs on tour.

They announced this during the site hiatus, but I am posting about the double-DVD, double-CD & Blu-Ray called "Black Symphony" now.

Featuring the Metropole Orchestra, this is set for release on 22 September. The DVD will feature more than the others.

I am unsure whether I will get this as of yet. I very well might, seeing as this is the band's first release since October 2007, when they released their latest single.

Please comment.

Thank you.

The Completed

Yesterday the site changed its URL. There is a page announcing the change and linking to here from the old URL. It will remain there for about four months.

As for the changes, this is about it. I'm not doing much more. In fact, I think I've finished.

All that is left to do is post more often (hopefully at least every three days, but it very well might not happen if no artist announces anything). I do have two more posts to do with what I was posting back in May (note: I am not writing the name on this post so that when you search the key word for it this post won't appear). These will fill in the gaps of no posts.

And that's about it. The second of my four sites to complete the revamp.

Please comment.
Thank you.

P.S.: If you want to know, the site name is in Spanish and translates into "The Music Shop" (shop being another word for store, seeing as the original name was Gaz & Alice's Music Store). It can alternatively be translated to "The Music Tent", but the one for this site is "The Music Shop".

Revamp

Yes, I have done this to you all again.

Changes are now on their way. This site is second on my priority list and is also second on my quantity list (both of them are out of four). I am restricting the information I am going to tell you about this revamp.

There will be a name and URL change. I will notify you of this change later on and create a page on this URL linking it to the new one.

This is all happening because Alice has decided to leave. However, I am not prepared to remove her account from this site; she will have to do that herself.

Please comment.
Thank you.
