dhampyresaI was recently at an event and bought the book Au Cœur de l’Hiver from the author.
As she was wearing a jacket with various metal band patches (Epica and Nanowar of Steel were the ones I recognised), we started talking about music.
I recced her (song links added fro this post): In This Moment (song The In-Between[1]), Oceans of Slumber (song: A Return To The Earth Below) and The Pretty Reckless (song: Only Love Can Save Me Now).
[1] Someone should make a Dune fanvid to this song. It opens with "My mother said that I was holy" and the chorus is "Oh, I can feel a holy war / I can feel a holy war within / No, I can't take a holy war / No, I can't take a holy war again". And the rest of the lyrics also fit!
She signed my book and added a small rec list of metal bands: Wintersun (the main inspiration behind the book), Amaranthe, Zornheym, Beast in Black and Ad Infinitum.
I'm not just making this post to remind myself to check out their music, though! I also want to know what is the strangest and/or more unexpected way you've gotten recs for something? Did you check out the thing? How was it?
Also, should I wait until after I've read the book to check out the main inspi band? Or binge before? A secret third thing?
