Rome Total War, one of the best games ever made. It's a shame, it has aged so poorly.

God, I played the hell out of that as a teenager. The only reason I don't anymore is because it runs so badly on my computer. I think people on steam said something about dated programming not being optimized for modern computers.

Yes, it runs like shit on modern PCs because it wasn't programmed to take advantage of modern hardware. And the maps themselves, were designed with average unit sizes in mind... Because back in the day, who the hell had a PC capable of running this game with the largest unit sizes. Not many people, I think. This game was already revolutionary with the average unit sizes.

I find it surprisingly peacful for melodic dark metal. Harmonic arrangement, Shagath still has his voice... the rawness, unique to late 90's melodic metal bootlegs... Incredibly tranquilizing.

The best combination of poetry and melodic/symphonic black metal I've ever heard of. But when I first listened to CoF, I thought its' just another poop metal where the singer was blithering some nonsense; boy, I was wrong.

What happened to this kind of metal when 21st century has come? It affected most of the groups I love

Some electronic songs, if that's your vibe.

Spoiler: Mr. Kitty - Wait

There was no / Warning or a sign
As you went / To the other side
Every night / I am holding tears back
I refuse / To ever say goodbye

Spoiler: Mr. Kitty - Father

Burning stars I will see
Jagged roads at my feet
Why don't you think of me
Blurry eyes cry for thee
Hold me from underneath
Father's gone, let him be

Spoiler: Mr. Kitty - The Glass Inside Your Skull

Knowing that you sense it
I don't deserve this
Through careful attendance
I found your interest
What is it I'm missing
I can be perfect
I wish I was different
I wish I was worth it

Spoiler: Mr. Kitty - Lost Children

A woman cries alone
Her child just a stain
Mind of eroding stone
She will get hurt again

This one is extremely dark, based on the case of Junko Furuta, a girl who was held captive and ruthlessly tortured and raped for 44 days by a group of boys.

Spoiler: Mr. Kitty - 44 Days

44 days I have been held here
I will never see the light of day
Please save me from reckless, violent hearts
Bodies rest in graves of cold concrete

A lot of Opeth too. I'm just going to recommend them in general anyway.

I remember early to mid 70s, there was a British prog rock called Barclay James Harvest, they released an album called Octoberon. On that album is a track called suicide, it is about a disillusioned and disappointed man who was fed up with politics, society, environment and himself, so he decided to quit and jumped off a high building. The lyrics described his mood and thought. The song ends with an audible replay of his jump, an eerie voice whispered 'just in time' then he jumped. I also find Pink Floyd's High Hopes cool. Also listen to In Flame's 'Take This Life'.

I love Roman Sidorov's stuff.

Please give this song a listen, it's probably a top 5 of all time for me, i'm just in love with it (it's kind of like grunge rock style).

My favourite by CoF is dusk and her embrace. The entire album is so peaceful.

Lord I cannot stand it when they put some heavy gear to a pop song and call that metal. Urgh.

This music brings a rainbow in my heart, light and dark in the meantime.
But if you ever played this game, you know that this is the voice of abomination.
