Astarte

[CinnamonStar]

Well I was talking to Eur and came to this band with WOMEN, BLACK METAL, LEATHER AND TENTACLES but I don't remember how.D= Doesn't matter, I wanted to bring this up anyway.^^

 

It's hard to say if they're over- or underhyped, I'd say they're both in some ways... Not many people know them but those who do remember them for the boobs in the leather dresses.>_>

 

They get a bit of attention for being one of the few extreme female vocals bands.

The vocals aren't great, they're not as good as Angela Gossow but I really respect what they're doing. Jeez Black Metal and male dominance, there should be more females who can scream or growl.=D

 

You're going to be surprised but my favourite song by them is an instrumental... I think it's much better than the vocal tracks.^^ Like I said it's not a GREAT band but songs like this make me think there's potential...

Another song I really like, Symphonic Black Metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXxSvkrbCT0

With Angela: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZr6aWVHvaM

 

So yeah let's talk about the goddess of sex and war.

We were talking about some Greek guy and then you mentioned Astarte. xD

 

They're pretty good instrumentally. Vocals are...meh. I like "The Ring", Shagrath pwns.

 

oh and i liek teh bewbies =o

[CinnamonStar]

 

oh yes I would too <3

 

Yeah The Ring is awesome, most of their collabs kick ass.

I think much about this band is a bit weird to meh-ish but I really like what they're doing. It's not the usual "real" Black Metal but they're quite unique. Sometimes I wish Tristessa (the singer) would go back and focus just on the bass and compositions, she's great at that. They had another singer before but she wasn't much better.

[Death Metal]

You might wanna think about a warning for the first one. =p

 

The music is pretty good. Nice to see girls in metal. The sound is unique, at least they got that.
