OFFICIAL 'Seashore Dreams' video from FACTORY OF DREAMS - album Some Kind of Poetic Destruction (HD)

After a long journey, Kyra sees the seashore ahead. She lays down on the sand, falls deeply asleep and dreams of Earth's invasion and the secrets soon to unfold. Within the dream, Kyra stands inside a strange and eery house close to the seashore. The ocean shows her images of the hidden Star now closing-in on the planet and images of a Metropolis being engulfed by rays of soundwaves. The answer to Earth's Fate is being revealed through 'Seashore Dreams'!!
Time is no more
As I see the Future
From the Seashore

Devin+stolen babies show review: what was wrong? and funny things

Sat, 22 Sep 2012 16:35:38 +0000

Thu 20 Sep – Katatonia, Paradise Lost, Devin Townsend Project, Stolen Babies

...pretty much everything was wrong, if you ask me. Starting with the front door! Anyone would think that opening the fukin doors before the show actually starts is common sense, but not in this place. I missed at least 2 songs (Stolen Babies) while in the crowded stairs, and god knows how many while i was still outside. 2 songs ( or more ) off of a 30 minutes set for the band i wanted to see in the first place. i was pissed but was still able to ask, in a polite way, the girl who was doing nothing behind the counter beside the other girl ditributing tickets, "what happened?" (She act like she didnt understand) ... why did it start before we can get in? "i dont know", she said with her beautifull emptiness smile. I shoulda said " sorry, i assumed you were there for a reason". Just there, i lost some of the hope i have in humanity.

i really enjoyed fillstata and spill!, that burst of energy goes straigh to my soul. Dominique is full of face expression, good thing because that was the only movement she was allowed to do on that tiny stage. She learned it the hard way after hiting her mic pole with her accordion, bobbling her eyes out wondering what to do if it ends up on the floor! She didnt stop singing, like a pro! Unheard, but still! Tiny charming nice looking girl, by the way. The new songs, which i never heard before, seemed to lack that stolen B energy, they are going in a new + easier direction, not sure if i like yet.

what about Paradise Lost ? just as they claim: depressive.
what about Katatonia ? just as they claim: depressive. But not for this one guy standing middle front row: singing and dancing around like his ass is on fire. Funny thing is this singer likes to totaly hide his face in his hair. Even at 4th row in a standing crowd, i could only see his face BETWEEN songs. Is he really singing? prolly not. Stage presence evaluation: 0%

And then comes the miraculous Devin !
yes Devin Townsend Project was the headliner.
If anyone likes his new song called Lucky Animals, i am sad for you because Devin said he intended to make the most cheesy song ever. himself clearly stated "this song SUCKS". Can Devin the miraculous make the worst song of all time and make sure people enjoy it? Of course people enjoyed it, I did too, but thats just because he said it sucks, because, it really sucks. I much prefer his hard work productions like on Deconstruction. Funny thing: between each song, we could ear come dance/techno beat from another room, Devin did his little silly dance to it on 3-4 occasions.
Stage presence evaluation: 100%
His face is something unique to see, ill let you guys have the surprise if you ever get the chance, kinda hard to describe anyway.

Devin quote: that is the most weird sound venue i ever played in. I was so happy hearing this, Devin will never play there anymore! imagine 20 000 watts of bass together with barelly 1000W of mids and highs. The floors rattles like there was an earthquake, just disgusting sounds even with earplugs. You can tell the real purpose if this place: a disco house.

How can this place still be around after decades of shit-making?
