Today's Song: ...And Then the World Froze by Octavia Sperati

Yawn. Yet another goth metal band with a feamle vocalist. Admittedly, a very very good) vocalist, and I still am a sucker for this kind of music. Octavia Sperati hail from Bergen, Norway. (Sadly, they don't seem to have any songs sung in Norwegian.)

One big difference with this band? Five out of six members are female, only the drummer is a guy... so aside from being another female-fronted goth metal band, they are a nearly an all-female outfit as well. One difference that brings is that niether the lead singer nor any other band members appear on their album covers -- no attempts to sell via sex appeal, as so many "femme metal" bands do.

They're still a kind of generic goth metal band, but with a few songs that really stand out, including this one:

Octavia Sperati -- ...And Then the World Froze

She's kind of hard to understand... ^_^

Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I just imagined all these things
Do you want to be here- with me?
Are you sorry you came?
All those times on the street
Why didn't you talk to me?

Don't be afraid- I had to escape
It was burning me up inside

Sun seems pale
The world froze
To echoes of strife

Storms embrace us
Walls are moaning
Let us avoid the edges of broken glass

Time standing still
The world froze
My story wrapped in cold cold rain drops collapsing on your soul
I'm freezing
Where is the love?

Do you see these floods- in my eyes?
Would you stand me up?
If I needed your strength
Would your force reach me?

Don't get me wrong- I had to be strong

Sun seems pale
The world froze
To echoes of strife

Words are soaring
Thoughts are drifting
Let us avoid the edges of broken hearts...

Octavia Sperati -- Don't Believe A Word (This one is a nice piano ballad cover of an old Thin Lizzy tune).
