Omnia: Neo-Pagan Folk Band

2007-08-23 [Melocrie]: I guess you need to give some things up for happiness... Though leaving family and friends behind actually makes you less happy. I'm familiar with the dilemma.

2007-08-23 [Mortified Penguin]: Dude, man... America rules.

2007-08-23 [Fearathress]: -Nods her head-

2007-08-24 [Jitter]: I'm not pagan but the music is awesome :D

I had already heard about Omnia by [Kuruni] but never really got round to search them out. Great music! Kudos!

2007-08-24 [Melocrie]: Oh yea, they rock so hard xD
Wanna help spread the word? Or else buy a CD? :P

2007-08-27 [Jitter]: I will buy something when my mum gives me an ok to use her credit card xD (I should get one of my own doh.. )

Witchesbrew& The Well are becoming 2 of my favourite songs in general ^^

PS- I just noticed they don't use credit card ^^'' oh man I have to go to the bank to order ;_; xD

By the way: http://taurina.deviantart.com/art/Steve-from-Omnia1-53187047 This dude's got style

2007-08-27 [Melocrie]: Very much style ^^ Go here: castlefest07 It's in Dutch, but at the bottom you'll find a link to my own wiki about Castlefest, where you will find a few pictures of Omnia.

2007-08-27 [Jitter]: thanks! I'll check when I'm on from the pc cause I have set my psp not to load images

2007-08-27 [Kuruni]: Yay! i can see that Omnia's magic is already spreading all over the place! 

I'm so happy i can be consider a friend of them, so of course i can recommend them more than just a Fan, so go ahead and listen all you want! i have some clips in my deviant account if someone wish to see them, also of Faun, the other band that play together with Omnia and the other way around.

I hope that some people take the chance to go to Castlefest next year, it is tough yes, but well worth it.

By the way, Jenny of Omnia is Alan Lee's niece ;)

2007-08-27 [Jitter]: :D Someday....Someday...... I will someday visit Castlefest or something similar, I may not be pagan but I feel so close and excited with this kind of music... <3

2007-08-27 [Melocrie]: @ Kuruni: Jenny is Alan Lee's niece?? 0_o So that's how they got to contact him for the art xD And btw, I think Omnia considers every fan as a friend ;) I've had long talks with them a few times.. they're amazing.

@ Jitterbug Perfume: why won't you try to come next year? if that can be managed with the baby of course ^^

2007-08-27 [Jitter]: Yeah it will be hard with the baby :) But Lif says we will definately come at some point ^^ all 3 of us :D

2007-08-27 [Melocrie]: w00t! ^^ Until then, you can enjoy Omnia on CD xD

2007-08-27 [Fearathress]: yea yea yea.. just cuz u dont like the music dont mean you can dis them.

2007-08-28 [Fearathress]: Yea yea yea.. anyway.

2007-08-28 [Jitter]: I might have given you some justice Penguin if you suggested some not greatly overused and over-boring groups that played music that's not so carefully factored

By the way I found some Faun music in a CD a friend had sent me (mp3 *rolls eyes* what can we do) and they're good too. More.. uhm.. wild is not the right word... They sound less folk and more pagan than Omnia(not meaning this in a bad way). I might use the word ritualistic... It's morning I'm bad with words now -.-

Maybe one of you can help me xD

2007-08-28 [Melocrie]: I've deleted the Penguin's useless comments. So let's move on ^^

I think ritualistic is the right word :) Though I do like Omnia better for some reason, more energetic maybe... Faun is also a bit more melodic, I like them too ^^

2007-08-28 [Jitter]: Yeah I like Omnia better too :) More my style :D Closer to those Irish folk things I used to hear :D I think the best word would be shamanic maybe. (Or I'm playing too much WoW on a shaman xD)

2007-08-28 [Fearathress]: XD.. WoW can do that for you. Omnia is the closest thing that I have heared that remindes me of the old songs that were sung in my family.

2007-08-29 [Kuruni]: I cannot decide who is better, i like them both.

I just feel more drawn to Faun because of personal reasons and a strong friendship with one of the members and his girlfriend, but i must say that Omnia has something that Faun does not have and i think that Omnia can raise the dead and make them dance. Lots of energy.

Faun can uplift the spirit and really make you fall in love with the songs.

If i had to put them in a fantasy world, Omnia would be the goblins, halflings and pixies and Faun would be the elves, Mermaids and Nymphs. Both are equally great for me.

Have you listen to The Moon and the Nightspirit?
What about Rapalje?

2007-08-30 [Melocrie]: Don't know The Moon... But Nightspirit is cool ^^
I'm not so fond of Rapalje, though... Some of their songs are great, I think, really energetic. But I dislike others because there's hardly any meaning in it...
