Blind Guardian

Uma banda que teve uma boa parte de suas músicas inspiradas nas obras do ilustríssimo J. R. R. Tolkien , tem todo o direito de abrir esse post.

Eles possuem uma música chamada de “The Bard’s Song The Hobbit” que é um verdadeiro resumo do livro o Hobbit, e um disco inteiro (Nightfall In Middle-Earth) dedicado à obra “O Silmarillion” – que conta à criação da Terra Média em seus primeiros séculos de existência. sem falar de outras referências bem legais.

Letra:

There are signs on the ring which make me feel so down
there’s one to enslave all rings to find them all in time
and drive them into darkness
forever they’ll be bound

Three for the Kings of the elves high in light
nine to the mortal which cry

[solo: Markus]

[Ref (x2):]
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill

and there’s no way out
Mordor
dark land under Sauron’s spell
threatened a long time
threatened a long time
Seven rings to the gnomes in their halls made of stone
into the valley
I feel down
One ring for the dark lord’s hand sitting on his throne
in the land so dark where I’ve to go

[solo: Markus]

[Ref:]

Lord of the rings

Letra:

Sensory impulses commanding us
Still we’re aware of its centre
Structuring thoughts from a blurry muss
With the analogy of electricity to enter

I’ve painted a world in the dark,
With elegant patterns and connections
This cosmic genesis’ lightning arc,
Shapes my body’s complexion

A microscopical macrocosm,
Of distant mountains and inner plasm,
All the elements are eloquenced by infinity
A microscopical macrocosm,
I and Me float through its chasms,
Filtering the universe through a living internity

Thousands of pathway’s directory,
Lie dormant in this unexplored animator
In its lobe rests our closest galaxy
Reading, visions from the spiral generator

Atoms composed into a condition
Of thinking and intuition

“Sometimes the blind have the perfect protection,
More honestly they describe the sky
We should look in every direction,
Beyond the experiences of the corrupt eye”

Formação:

Vintersorg: Vocals / Keyboards
Guitar : Mattias Marklund
Bass : Steve DiGiorgio

Abney Park

Não é exatamente uma banda no estilo metal, tem leves influência do metal industrial somente, mas é uma banda bastante nerd só por adotarem o visual e a temática do Steam Punk.

letra:

I, I’ve suffered long enough in this ghost town
I saw the walls, called their bluff and took them down

When I think of all the time I’ve wasted
All the bitter pills I’ve tasted
I have to hang my head and frown
I, I’ve suffered long enough in this ghost town

Soon came a day under skies that were gray
When I knew I couldn’t stay in this ghost town full of
Clones and clowns and carbon copy towns, with
Kine and swine and nothing that was mine,
And this town’s decline with my hatred intertwined,
So I gather all I find and I bolted it to me,
Fueled my fires and I grabbed my pliers, and I’m lit!

I made my own machine
Yes, we’re building steam
I hate the same routine.

I made my own machine
Yes, we’re building steam
I hate the same routine.

I, I never looked back–I want to never return
If I could find a fuse, those bridges would burn

But I keep this horse at a run
Keep my hand to my gun
My path the vampires have learned.
So I, I can never look back; I can never return.

Soon came a day under skies that were gray
When I knew I couldn’t stay in this ghost town full of
Clones and clowns and carbon copy towns, with
Kine and swine and nothing that was mine,
And this town’s decline with my hatred intertwined,
So I gather all I find and I bolted it to me,
Fueled my fires and I grabbed my pliers, and I’m lit!

I made my own machine
Yes, we’re building steam
I hate the same routine

Star One

Lucassen Arjen sempre foi um mega fan de ficção cientifica em geral,  e isso é bem fácil de se observar nos varios trabalhos que ele fez para o Ayreon, seu principal projeto. Como uma forma de homenagear grandes clássicos do cinema cuja a abordagem era a ficção, ele criou um projeto paralelo chamado Star One, cada faixa do album entitulado Space Metal, faz referência direta a um filme com essa temática.

The Eye Of Ra ( baseado no filme Stargate )

[A. GATEWAY TO THE STARS]

[storyteller]
Far away in outer space
A traveller from another world left his dying race
He found our planet, full of life
In the body of a little boy he could survive

And Ra will live forever
He gains his powres from afar
And built a gateway to stars

[archaeologist]
I have finally found the key
To chart a course to the other side of the galaxy
I need to find the seventh sign
Carved into the cover stones of an ancient time

And Ra will live forever
He draws his powres from afar
And built a gateway to stars

[B. THE EYE OF RA]

[marine]
Unaware of our coming fate
We disappear through the ancient gate
We arrive in a desert land
And set up camp on the burning sand

Behold, a thousand slaves
Mining ores in the planet’s caves
They give us shelter from the storm
Then Ra appears in a human form

[native girl]
Ooh, up there in space
The eye of Ra is watching over us

[marine]
A tall ship descends from the sky
Lasers flare and many men die
A bloody battle has begun
We must destroy this ‚king of the sun‘

[native girl]
Ooh, up there in space
The eye of Ra is watching over us
Ooh, an alien space
The eye of Ra is watching over us

[C. THE SEVENTH SIGN]

[all]
We have found the seventh sign
Down in the catacombs
When the seven points align
They will lead us all back home

letra:

“I do not feel obliged to believe
that the same God who has endowed us
with sense, reason and intellect
has intended us to forgo their use”

So all the stars
Will guide us on our way
The Sextant as a leader
Has duration for all days

Look at the amazing skies
In long and profound discoveries
With a strong and a clear mind he’s encrypting
More secrets of astronomy

In endless nights
He entirely observes the skies
His publications will change the world

Galileo Galilei

Only what my eyes will see, I will believe!
Day and night – separated by the light

In Pisa he’s required
To teach the theory
That the stars and all the planets
Revolve around the earth
But he believed
In a different truth
The heliocentric one
Proposed by Kopernikus
A new age has begun

The stolen sun
Makes their fear rise
And man will sacrifice
The moon is the reason why

The amazing skies…

In endless nights..

And all the servants of the cross – they will deny
Will deny the starlight

In Pisa he’s required
To teach the theory
That the stars and all the planets
Revolve around the earth
But he believed
In a different truth
The heliocentric one
Proposed by Kopernikus
A new age has begun

The County Medical Examiners

Chegamos ao nível mais macabro de nossa lista, pegue alguns médicos patologistas que amam death metal e que também amam sua profissão, bata tudo no processador e teremos essa banda. Eles possuem forte influência do carcass, e abordam temas referentes a medicina na música, mais especificamente a patologias, só tiveram um álbum lançado, Este  também vem em embalagem de luxo que inclui um deslizamento sobre a cobertura que se assemelha a um saco de contaminação, o cheiro é de cadáveres podres ou que a banda diz, a “essência da putrefação”. para os nerds fans de seriados médicos e Death metal essa banda é um prato cheio

Prova da Nerdice:

Letra:

Banished from the medical community
One brilliant German forensic pathologist
Johann Casper, his nascent methods on
The rate of rot made him a cunning medico-criminalist
The heady chemical stench of decay set him free
To discover putrefaction patterns others failed to see
Internal and external bacteria coalesced
And illustrated their wisdom in a semi-liquid mess
Professor of Forensic Pathology
Disgraced by Berlin doctors
Misunderstood forensic genius
Nineteenth century medicine
Rejected forensics and outlawed him
Amongst reeking gassy corpses
Casper hatched his dark science
Medical examiners now unite
Bring Casper’s Dictum to scientific light

[Casper's Dictum:]
“A week in air-two weeks in water
Two weeks in water-eight weeks in ground!”

Ballooning stiffs and liquescent corpses
Bursting models for Casper’s Dictum
Streptococci and Clostridium Welchii
Battle for postmortem bacterial supremacy
Autolytic conversion hosts and breeds
While putrefactive ooze squirts from the seams
Casper draped in a rotten viscera
Popping bleb and bullae sebum
Navigating the semi-fluid black mess
Charting decay for his seminal dictum
He noticed that corpses found submerged
Decay half as fast as those uninterred
Exhumed carcasses revealed to him
Four times less rot than those in the swim
He penned a text in 1850
Called Forensic Dissection (naturally)
His dictum was touted a medicolegal success
Even Rudolf Virchow was begrudgingly impressed

[Casper's Dictum:]
“A week in air-two weeks in water
Two weeks in water-eight weeks in ground!”

Ballooning stiffs and liquescent corpses
Bursting models for Casper’s Dictum
Sulphemethaemoglobin stains, putridity marbles
Blood is haemolysed
The unyielding hot logic of decay persists
Casper is immortalized
Before predation can strip the corpse clean
Casper graces the grisly crime scene
From waterlogged stiffs soughing their flesh
To exhumed partially skeletonized mulch
His ghastly rule of thumb is well known
From recently deceased to sun-bleached bone
Forensics and anatomy are hideously wed
Casper’s science of the dead
