#manntra

As one of the Tumblr users who posted about the iconic collab just after midnight (sunday) and was thus amongst the earliest, can I just say that yes. This is a worthy response. We witnessed something legendary, something so iconic that we will remember this even when we're old. I mentioned last year that I was an Omega Lithum fan (a Croatian dance metal band who sung in English) who when they disbanded, started listening to some members reforming into a Croatian folk-metal band but with some of their old dance influence being present -named MANNTRA. Baby Lasagna was one of the new members and I really can tell how the rest of the band left their mark on his musical production with Rim Tim Tagi Dim and I am so god damn happy that the guitar player of one of my top 10 favorite metal bands got to write this piece of history. I'll never get over Kiša and I really hope more people are checking out his discography. As a fangirl it makes me overjoyed. I don't care how many people including my mom mocks his stage name, to me he is the goat.

Considering I've heard ESC was going to be wild this year and I already had heard the hilarious names like Baby Lasagna, so I wanted to check out our Joost's competition. I've only listened to Croatia so far, but yes, this year is going to be wild. I think I already mentioned I've been a metalhead since my literal infant stage as it was the one genre that got me quiet and fall asleep whereas I would wail at lullabies. One of the metalbands I was a casual fan of is Omega Lithium before their disbandment, and I was one of the fans who checked out MANNTRA, the band formed by some of the Omega Lithium members. The first was dancemetal, the second was folk metal. Considering that, my brain made the association when listening to Baby Lasagna and I had to look at his wikipedia page. My gut was correct and I've actually been listening to the dude for years. It's like my elementary school days are having a showdown with my teenage days for the whole world to see. Thank you for this year, Eurovision.
