More I listen this song, more I like it. At first I didn't like from this song at all but I gave it another opportunity and each time this song has started to grow in me and has actually started to sound good.
I've only just found this band and am loving them. I'm from the UK and have not heard them singing in their mother tongue so can't comment on what is better, but I love these English versions. The slightly off pronunciation of some words only adds to the charm. Great stuff. :)
As owner of 4 indica albums I would say that Indica is pop rock band. None of the songs in those 4 albums is metal. Some have strong gothic elements, Some have popish elements but none has metal elements. So metal fans can rest in peace. This is not a pop band taking over metal but a rock band taking over pop.
I have just bought the deluxe edition and the overall content blew my mind. I am of the opinion that you should be more famous :) your music are very good!!!
@eternaldiary No, it's actually not translated. I'm finnish so I do know. The melodies are alike, but the words are new, because straight-on translating songs doesn't work
@Soulboulder You can't compare this just to metal bands, its more like metal mixed with pop, its an own style, and I think its a good idea, like this music and the voice of the singer even if I also listen to InFlames, Trivium and such things. I don't understand why many poeple who listen to metal find less hard sounds bad... I know there are no difficult guitar riffs or heavy doublebass drumming but i think it nice how it is for this type of music..
@ShowNoMercy502 True. And a label that would not force them to become "gothic" as the last attempt to make them kinda stick out less. I mean, that almost-Eric-Draven makeup in that In Passing vid, Orkus cover story, Wave Gotik Treffen appearance... WTF?
The problem many have with labels such as "Nuclear Blast" is that we have become accustomed to pure metal bands, so when bands like this show, as many would leave a bad taste.
i was on holidays for 2 weeks, and one day i went to a shop looking for cd's. I was looking in pop-punk, metal and punk music tipes and below my nose i saw a cd wich name caught my atenttion. INDICA? that sound like a portuguese name.. i grabed the cd to look and they were.. Finnish? i had to investigate..so i wrote the name in a paper to to a research about this band when i come back home..and here i am. 0_0
They were popular when singing in finnish, in english whole song is actually differend, original name of song is "vuorien taa" =beyond mountains...but guiess they had to arranged and chainge it all over to fit it in other language...😮
@TheAngelicShow That doesn't mean they aren't the classics, now does it? But, dude look at today's music. It's hard to find any present-day American music that doesn't suck.
@ShowNoMercy502 It makes them sound like a watered-down Sirenia. And I don't even like Sirenia :) Come to think of it, it seemed to me that Heini's bass being prominent in the mix was kinda the source of that drive in the more rocking Indica songs. I didn't quite hear it on Valoissa. It might've had a bit more guitar, but even Ozzy said that the true "rawk" power often lies in the bass sound.
great song, the sound its like nightwish (i call it epic instrumental lol... so nice to listen ) i read somewhere that Tuomas Holopainen produced this album
Yes... we have to thank him for that. He "discovered" these girls and helped them record their first album with English lyrics. He also took them on a tour with Nightwish so that more people would have a chance to hear them. Initially their songs were sung only in Finnish
@Kirara9245 i'm not saying all is bad, but to get to know the ones who actually play music for the love of it you have to go underground and not whatever shit is on mtv...
@TheAngelicShow They may be slightly overrated, but they have some classics to back up that they aren't overrated. Revolver, Abbey Road, and Sgt. Pepper are very good examples.
@Kirara9245 There is no more or less good music available from any individual country than there was ~20 years ago. Music pretty much died in the 50s/60s, a process, I might add, which was kicked off by a very BRITISH band. Mass media exists everywhere, not just the US. US just gets all the flak because it is both the biggest producer AND biggest consumer of it in the world.
