A Living Breathing, Generation of The Walking Dead

Like the title? :) It's from a new Ivoryline song off of their new cd Vessels. You should check it out~!

In other news, I finally jumped on the bandwagon and I've made a tumblr account, I'll be adding the link here in a bit. Its really just for a bit of fun and so that I can get my Harry Potter oriented humour.

I've been watching a lot of anime and discovering a lot of music and its getting me back in the mood to start updating Hinamizawa Syndrome again, but... I just don't know if it's worth it. I mean, I know that its something that I enjoy but I never get any feedback on anything that I put on the site, so it almost feels pointless. But know this, if I get back into it, and start taking it seriously then I'll put the site back up for sure :)

Have you ever played a game that seemed to be taking over your entire life? That's what I've been doing. I started playing Runescape in June and I've played it entirely too much since then. In fact I'm playing it even as I type this, that's how talented I am.

Life Is Pretty Rad

So for the past two weeks or so, I can honestly say life has been pretty darn rad! I've experienced my first concert, I'm getting more defined taste in music, I'm playing LEGO Harry Potter, and I'm getting back into reading and studying in preparation for college this winter.

My first concert was the Detroit date of the Scream It Like You Mean It Tour featuring IvoryLine, Silverstein, We Came As Romans, Emery, Sky Eats Airplane, Dance Gavin Dance and I Set My Friends On Fire. Let me make this clear, being that the show was my very first concert, it was INSANE! I'm so in love with the genre now that its getting out of hand haha, I can't wait til my next show, which will probably be Warped Tour to be honest.

LEGO Harry Potter. What more can I say. I adore the game. Its got to be the best LEGO game ever. Its far longer than I expected at first, and for that I'm truly grateful. :)

Because of experiencing the music live I've started to really get into Screamo/Metalcore music. Gone now are the days of me listening to 3OH!3. If you're into the same kind of music I would love to recommend the following bands, some of which aren't around anymore but they're still worth a listen.


Bravo Armada
Bravo Armada is pretty much a hardcore band that isn't afraid to just let loose. They're on a permanent hiatus unfortunately, but they do have one cd, that I know of, out and its called Black And White. Its pretty good for a first time release. Only time will tell whether this band will get back together and continue kicking ass, but I sincerely hope they do.


Myfashionlove
Another hardcore/metalcore band. Myfashionlove has crazy energy in their songs and I highly suggest that you sit back and listen to them. As of now, they are still together as a band and they have one studio release entitled Secret Plan Of Self Destruction.



This Is The Hospital
A band that was formed from a few veterans of the San Diego music scene, This Is The Hospital formed in 2006. Now officially broken up, or on "indefinite hiatus", This Is The Hospital only released one album. That album, entitled Daybreak, has become one of my favourites rather quickly. The songs on the album blend together almost flawlessly and still they manage to carry a heavy attitude while remaining catchy.


The Year Ends In Arson
I saved the best for last. The Year Ends In Arson is by far, the best band that I've discovered lately. I have the highest possible hopes for their future success. The band has so far released one album called Vessels. If I had to compare any aspect of them to a band I would honestly compare the guitar to that of older The Fall Of Troy.
