    Metal and Barbarism - the Conan-esque side of music

    Interesting choice. Probably not the first band that would come to my mind, but the epic factor in Powerwolf's music is undeniable.

    Metal and Barbarism - the Conan-esque side of music

    Hey! There's no problem in going a little bit off topic. Hell, I'm actually glad that somebody finally replied to this thread. hahaha

    Hello everyone!

    Hello there! I'm from Brazil and as for my favorite artist/band for the moment, guess I'd say Eternal Champion. Been listening to their last album nonstop since it dropped last year, how about you?

    The Books/Reading Thread

    "Read" is too strong of a word, I'd say I glanced over it :P But don't worry, I will them read with more attention later today, that's a promise!

    The Books/Reading Thread

    Recently I acquired some Tanith Lee books. First one I'm reading is "Vazkor, Son of Vazkor", still by chapter four, but it seems solid so far. Got to reading some comics/graphic novels in the past few days too: Elric : The Ruby Throne (10/10 comic, everyone into fatansy should check this one...

    Last Album You Listened to in Full?

    Technically, not a full album, but this kicks some serious ass nonetheless! I was listening to this during work out earlier today and I have to say that the pump it provided was the real shit! Chevalier - A Call to Arms

    What's the meaning of your username?

    Yeah, since I'm very much into sword and sorcery and plenty of older pulp stories from the 20s and 30s, it reflects into my style of writing too. Thanks for the heads up about the naming and making the connections, that's something I haven't paid much attention up until now.

    What's the meaning of your username?

    Yeah, definitely I didn't see that "not" there. oops... So far I just have some working titles, nothing is set in stone yet. The only certainty I have so far, is that the shorts are acting more like prequels to the bigger picture that is going to the (possible) trilogy of books. Basically the...

    What's the meaning of your username?

    I don't think so, having them published in an episodic manner would be one way to (maybe) create some more interest for this specific kind of literature among a local scene. People who are more into zine collecting might enjoy seeing something that differs from the same old band interview kinda...

    What's the meaning of your username?

    Maybe, but I also had an ideia to make a zine collecting other short stories written by some metal musicians from the local scene. I've talked to some people from some Brazilian bands and they seemed interested in the ideia. Of course, this is only on paper for now, but I guess that it could work.

    What's the meaning of your username?

    Probably a trilogy, but there are plenty of shorter stories set in the same world already.

    What's the meaning of your username?

    Yeah, I thought about this too, since over here there isn't much of a fantasy "scene". Just recently some local authors started publishing their works, but so far, nothing that has caught much of my interest. That's the main motivation for me to start writing my own novels. Guess by the end of...

    What's the meaning of your username?

    Thanks for the heads up, but I guess it would be better to look for something around my own country (I'm located in Brazil). Despite the fact that I'm writing both in Portuguese and English at the same time, I believe focusing on my home market first is the way to go for now.

    Hello everyone!

    Hey, hope you are doing fine. I'm a simple man, I enjoy some good metal and binge reading. Currently working on some fantasy books and on recording a demo. I guess that's it for now. Cheers!

    What's the meaning of your username?

    Thanks, that's very nice of you. I hope to finish this story and get to publish it at some point, but for now, only time will tell.

    Metal and Barbarism - the Conan-esque side of music

    Okay, this is my first time posting, so bear with me here. I was always enthralled by the swords & sorcery theme and since heavy metal is one of the great mediums for this specific brand of fantasy, there is a multitude of great bands with equally great artworks using the barbarian motif. So...

    New in metal

    If you're into something that has a more distinct "evil" sound, Id' recommend some black metal bands. Here are some bands/albums that might interest you: Drowning the Light - From The Abyss Nightbringer - Ego Dominus Tuus Kaevum - Natur If you enjoy these, I can recommend many more!

    What's the meaning of your username?

    "Arkhasil" is the name of a sword from a fantasy story I'm writing. The "89" is just the year of my birth. Nothing too special here.

    what do you do when you're down?

    Normally when I'm in one of those day, I like to isolate myself a bit from people. I try to write a bit, I burn some incense and drink some tea. I know this sounds quite dumb, but hey, it ain't stupid if it works!
