It’s been pretty quiet here at Silent Melody lately with me and GN-0015 busy with life and other things.
What I originally envisioned this site to be was the go-to place for all sorts of news concerning the Λucifer members’ recent happenings, whether it be new releases, projects or anything else that’d interest Λucifer’s fans. While I’m obviously still a fan of the band, there are other things that have stolen my attention in recent times which hasn’t given me much time to keep up on Λucifer news so I could run this site properly.
My question is: would any of you be interested in helping run this site? This is directed especially to the people among you who constantly run into news about Λucifer and wonder “why the hell didn’t they post about this on Silent Melody?“
You don’t have a post quota to reach per month and if you don’t have previous experience with blogging, I can help you with any technical questions you might have. The only two requirements are that you need to be able to write “okay” English — you don’t have to be a native level speaker, just passable — and more importantly, you need to feel passionate enough about Λucifer to be willing to seek out news of what the members are doing lately so you can post about it on Silent Melody.
That’s all.
If you want to join, or if you’re thinking you might like to give it a try but aren’t sure, just contact me and I’ll get back to you.
This offer stands for as long as this post is still viewable on the site.
Life sucks 🙁 it’s hard to stay focus on Λucifer if I can’t even keep my room clean. But to be completely honest, I’ve lost my addiction for the band. Listening to their old songs over and over again has taken it’s toll on my brain.
But really, if they don’t plan on having another big comeback like they did in 2010 it’s hard to stay interested in them, especially with so many alternatives around. So many great bands are available out there. I myself am currently addicted to The Back Horn, Lacco Tower, Straightener, and I’ve been crazy for Rammstein too.
It’s to a point where a lot of time I haven’t been thinking about Λucifer anymore. It’s unlike what it used to be when I’ve been bitching to myself “when are they gonna come back?”. It’s not like that anymore.
Hey GN-0015! Thanks for the honest comment. Well, admittedly my most burning fandom for them has run its course, too. Still, I do very much count myself a fan but along with all my other interests, I just don’t have the time anymore to keep up with all the members’ individual projects anymore.
But you don’t need to think any worse about yourself for feeling the way you do way — I think what you’re feeling is the natural course for getting addicted to any band with a limited discography of music that’s no longer growing. Hell, I call The Beatles probably my favorite band of all time, but I’ve no idea when I last even listened to them. There’s really only so many times you can listen to the same songs over and over again. Well, for me anyway.
So, in a nutshell, I too am no longer in a fiery, active fandom with Aucifer but it’s more of a slow-burning type thing now. Like many of my other favorite bands, I have plenty of fond memories of Aucifer and they’ll probably forever have a special place in my heart.
But regardless of my personal circumstances, I’d love for them to continue having an English-language resource for info, and it’d be sweet if that site could be Silent Melody. I want this site to live if only for the off-chance that maybe, just maybe, there’s someone out there looking for something in English about them… and then they run across this site. Because that’s exactly who I was in 2005. Goddammit I was pissed off I couldn’t find any info on them. I even had to write the damned wiki page on them — and I didn’t even understand Japanese back then! Crazy times, man. 🙂
Whatever those five dudes are doing now.
