Music Monday: "Burning in the Skies" by Linkin' Park for Bandits by LM Preston

Thank you so much to Lah over there at Lazy Girl Reads for introducing me to this feature where we showcase music that reminds us of a particular book that we read.

About the Book

 

Daniel's father has gotten himself killed and left another mess for Daniel to clean up. To save his world from destruction, he must fight off his father's killers while discovering a way to save his world. Time is running out, and Daniel must choose to either walk in his father's footsteps or to reinvent himself into the one to save his world.

I received this book from the author, LM Preston, and actually, this is my first ever print ARC so I'm really treasuring this one!  Apart from that, I'm not telling you anything more about this book, you would have to watch out for my book review.

About the Artist

Who does not know about Linkin' Park?  I used to listen to them while I was living with my teenage angst in high school so when I read this book, feeling the angst emit from the book through Daniel's personality, I had no other go-to music but those of Linkin' Park's.  Check out what's new with this cool band on their website.  Visit their website for more awesomeness.  

First-Ever Music Monday: "Lacrymosa" by Evanescence for The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

I have been telling myself to do this a thousand times before, and now I've finally done it!  Yay!!!  Thank you so much to Lah over there at Lazy Girl Reads for doing this feature where we showcase music that reminds us of a particular book that we read.

About the Book

 

I've just finished reading The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and I still have a huge hangover from this one.  I'm still working on my book review for this one, but as I cannot stop from talking about this book, I hope a Music Monday post about this book would suffice.  This book is more along the lines of gothic fiction, mystery thriller, and magical realism with a dash of a tragic love story and what better music to describe such a mix than Lacrymosa by Evanescence? 

About the Artist

Evanscence is an American rock band started in 1995 by lead vocalist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody.  Current band  line-up consists of Amy Lee on lead vocals, piano, keyboard, and harp; Terry Balsamo on lead guitar; Tim McCord on bass guitar; Will "Science" Hunt on drums and programming; and Will Hunt on drums.  Their gothic-style music has appealed to listeners ever since, especially songs like My Immortal and Bring Me To Life, among other things.  In Lacrymosa, they used a sample of the 'Lacrimosa' section of Requiem by Mozart.  Which is awesome.  Visit their website for more awesomeness.
