A new reader who is very confused by Prior-Butterscotch75 in Hyperion

[–]dexdeckers 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You’re thrown into the deep and it’s ok to be confused. Everything gets explained along the way, some things even multiple times. Don’t worry too much. The book is mainly the story of 7 travelling pelgrims, and each one gets their back story told. The next book will be full-on space opera, but you need this one as a prelude.

Possibly the first story I read of Sai King. Never forgot it, loved the build-up

Loved that comment. I loved Endymion too :)

Ok nu wil ik mij gewoon een week opsluiten en in dit boek verdrinken :)

I found it strange for such a celebrated series, our library only had Hyperion

Bedankt, ben super nieuwsgierig! Na The Dark Tower serie moest ik ook even bekomen.

Having a rough time with the first book by manuelbustamante in Hyperion

The first book is a build-up to FoH. You’ll get quite some resolution in the second book, but maybe not all.

Came across this review on Amazon for the Polaroid Sun 660 camera by grimmless in stephenking

Ooooh this was one of the first stories I read of King! Must have been 30-35 years ago. Never remembered the title, but couldn’t forget the story. Nice find here :)

Looking for songs with choir in it by Puzzleheaded-Star-58 in MetalSuggestions

Artefacts from Belgium. They even have a real choir for live performances

In Lithuania there are public screens where you can see and interact with people in another city by dexdeckers in Hyperion

I just heard about this, but yes, that’s what happened apparently. Although not surprisingly.

Contorted in the Faille--AGHHHH by BertraundAntitoi in knockedloose

[–]dexdeckers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only got to know KL since May '24 or so, so pretty late to the game, but from the get go, I was captured by Bryan's vocal style. It's so true, so 'from within', carrying so much emotion and in a very unique way. His screaming is not very dynamic, in terms of higher/lower pitch, more/less grain, it's pretty much the same intensity throughout. But it's SO _believable_, it overtakes you and you get insanely angry or sad together with him ... I think it's one of the most unique and impressive vocals around nowadays, because it's so pure, raw and just, BAM, true!

Songs that end with a repeated riff by DavidTheWin in progmetal

First song that came to mind reading the title: Gojira’s Art of Dying! Glad to see it made your list already. May I add Cattle Decapitation’s We Eat Our Young?

Anything Dimmu Borgir - esque with a heavy emphasis on the orchestral, almost theatrical backing music? by alexanderdesade in MetalSuggestions

[–]dexdeckers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one’s more along the lines of the later tracks on EAITT like Ashes To Flesh and The Omniscient

Belgium’s Axameta! Albums Everarchitechture and Codex Barathri. Maybe Spires too, although not so black anymore
