Celtess Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Hello fellow Sandersonians! I just heard about the community here and think it's awesome. I'm pretty much of the opinion that Sanderson is the best author ever. At least, I can't think of anything I'd prefer to read over one of his. I haven't read the Wheel of Time books, but I've read all of Sanderson's other works. At least once. About me...My name is Erin, I'm in my early twenties, and I live in Austin, TX with my hubby, Robert. We like to write and record songs together, dabble in other creative arts, rock climb, and hang out with our two kids, Tiernan (2yrs) and Kestrel (2mnths). We were the ones who sent Mistborn metal song to Sanderson that he linked to on his blog. We were super excited that he not only listened to our song, but also mentioned it there. I was in the middle of re-reading Well of Ascension when Robert suggested we try a fantasy-based metal song for an online competition, and I loved the idea of writing a metal song about Allomancers.
darniil he/him Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Hey, welcome aboard! I remember seeing that link in his tweet, but I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. I've been wondering though, (since I haven't had a chance to listen) - is it metal as in steel, lead, brass, etc, or is it metal as in Mötörhead, Slayer, Amon Amarth?
Celtess Posted October 20, 2011 Author Posted October 20, 2011 The genre of the song is metal--specifically, we were going for symphonic metal, so more along the lines of Nightwish, Epica, or Within Temptation--which seemed appropriate for a song about Allomancers using their metals. So, in a way, both.
darniil he/him Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Very cool. Definitely going to have to check this out when I get home from work.
Joe ST he/him Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Hey there Erin, great song I hope you continue to be awesome like that
CrazyRioter she/her Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Hello Erin, I hope you will create more Sanderson related music in the future. 1
Emeralis00 she/her Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I listened to that song and loved it! Within Temptation and Epica are two of my favorite bands, so listening to something in that genre is really nice. Welcome to 17th Shard.
Kuri Shardweaver he/him Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Welcome! Definitely going to have to listen to that song, really become a fan of metal lately. Which reminds me, to those who enjoy such things, I'd recommend checking out Masterplan and Hammerfall, two VERY fantasy-influenced metal groups :3
