First post! Woooo!

Hi, my name is Seth, and I'm a music addict.

(Hi, Seth.)

I'll be contributing my own brand of ramblings about music to Chocchiphopera now and again, so be sure to check back soon for reviews etc. about things that aren't Adam Ant, Depeche Mode, or Vitas.

In fact, here's some a capella fantasy metal for you right now. I give you van Canto's cover of Nightwish's "Wishmaster":

van Canto is one of my recent discoveries, and I really enjoy the use of amplifier distortion on the vocals to better simulate the sound of the guitar. The entire album (titled Hero, for those of you that may wish to know) is in pretty much the same vein as "Wishmaster", so if you decide you like a capella fantasy metal, I suggest you check it out.
