| − | == Sounds of Sanctuary ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | A new group from Harrogath rocked Sanctuary today with the release of their single, http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~deykea/adeyke_-_Starlight_on_Mount_Arreat.mp3 Starlight on Mount Arreat. The group is Iron Frenzy, a barbshop quartet <font color=grey>(you may groan now)</font> formed by Ip, Ulf, Ugg and Thog.
| |
| − | | |
| − | With the release of their single, they've already gotten many fans.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "I just love Iron Frenzy," squeals one such person, who asked to stay anonymous. "I'm their biggest fan. It's just so inspirational. I felt so great after listening to their song, like I was on top of the world or something. And I've <i>got</i> to get a poster of that Thog."
| |
| − | | |
| − | Despite their success, not everyone is happy with Iron Frenzy's music.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Rakanishu!" says Snot Eater the Hungry, one of the group's critics. "Not like song. Song hurt ears. How can listen to song if have headache? Rakanishu!"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Cold Flame the Mad was even more opposed: "Frankly, it scares me. How can kids these days listen to devil music like that? When I was their age, we still had wholesome music. Now, anyone can just yell around a lot and call it a song. I hear those freaks intend to wave knives around during their concerts, too. It's all pure shock value. Praise be to Diablo, Lord of Terror."
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some opponents are even turning violent. "Me hate them," grunts Gore Maul the Mauler. "Me angry. Me smash them. When dead, me not angry."
| |
| − | | |
| − | Iron Frenzy declined to comment on this.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It's not yet clear if they intend to release another song. Ip said, however, that if they did, they would likely look for a drummer first.

| − | Shortly after the release of their hit single, http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~deykea/adeyke_-_Starlight_on_Mount_Arreat.mp3 Starlight on Mount Arreat, http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~deykea/poster.jpg
| |
| − | Iron Frenzy had started work on a second song. While Starlight had used only vocals, this new song had a percussion accompaniment and even a drum solo.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Ugg like drums," Ugg explained. "Smash drums like smash skulls of enemies. Make good sound."
| |
| − | | |
| − | Unfortunately, the song was never completed. Just weeks after the release of Starlight, before the release of the their second single, artistic differences forced Iron Frenzy to split up.
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, now, over a year after that fateful decision, an early version of the song has surfaced. Though the song will never be finalized, fans of Iron Frenzy may be happy to hear a glimpse of what might have been.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The song is called http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~deykea/adeyke_-_Crystalline_Echoes.mp3]Crystalline Echoes.
