Album Review: Korn - The Serenity of Suffering



Hello guys!
I'm super excited today. You know why?
Well, the new Korn album just came out and I wanted to make a review on it.
I have to say that I just screamed (internally) on the day the album was released because I wanted to listen to it so badly, for real.
Let's start this shall we?
Some quick notes:

 The Serenity of Suffering is the twelfth studio album by nu metal band Korn, released on October 21, 2016. 
It is (according to the guitarist Brian Welch) the heaviest album so far.
The artwork contains various elements of Korn's fourth album, Issues, and it was created by Ron English.

The Serenity of Suffering
Well guys, this album just makes me love this band even more. 
I've read some reviews online and some of them were not very positive, saying that this album is extremely heavy and some things like that.
Think about this: Korn is heavy and I guess they will be like this as long as they continue to make music (hopefully). 

I personally love the heaviness of this album and I love the songs as well. 
The lyrics are harsh, very truthful and all of this reminds me of the 1999 and 2004 albums they released. 
The vibes of Make Me Bad and some other songs they had are present in here. 
This is a nu metal album and I LOVE it!
The opening riffs takes us back to the old Korn days, and the powerful voice of Jonathan and the rage he transmits in almost every song makes me want to listen to it over and over again. 

It's deep, heavy, it has that old school vibe, the vocals are amazing... I have noting negative to say about it.
The return of the guitarist Brian “Head” Welch in 2013 clearly changed the dynamics of the band for the better, in my opinion.

The collaboration of Corey Taylor from Slipknot in A Different World (I love Slipknot lot as well!), was a very good idea, to be honest. I really like that song!
But my overall opinion of this album is that is amazing. The Paradigm Shift and the Serenity Of Suffering are two amazing albums that I totally recommend to all the nu metal fans out there!

Listen to the album in here!


And what about you? Have you listened the album?
Do you like it?

Thank you so much for reading, guys! I really hope you like this review!

XO,
Di.

Anime Review - Blood C

Image
"I make my own decisions, and see them to the very end. I had to find my resolve, so I could remain true to myself." Hello everyone! Today I bring you another anime that I've seen a few years ago. So, this series has 12 episodes with 23 minutes each and its recommended to mature audience only because it has nudity and violence. So, let's start this! Plot:  Saya is a happy girl during the day that loves to sing and spend some time with her father. She is also a student that has a normal life. During night, she is the rural town protector that owns a holly sword to slay the Ancient Ones that hunt, stalk and try to catch human prays. Artwork : This series has some great detail and the way the characters are represented are also very well made. The death scenes are brutal and very grafic, but in a general way, it is a good graphic anime.  I love the colors, the ambiance and the music involved in it. Music: The O...

Why I've been gone

Hello guys, long time no see! I feel like I've been gone for at least a decade and I apologize. I've been thinking about coming back and do an update of the content and the design of the blog. I don't have much time at the moment due to work and life in general, but I want to do this. I still haven't figured what I want to write about, for the moment. I still love anime and movies, of course, but I don't want to feel trapped in a specific theme. I have evolved as a person and I believe you did too. That's why I feel that I can change a bit my topics and adapt them to my current day-to-day life. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment or send me an email and I'll take them into consideration. I love to talk to you and it really make s me happy every time I receive some feedback from you. You can keep up with me through my social media. All the links are listed at the top of the page! Thank you so much...
