Oh, what a bummer. That band was a heavy dose of metal and humour at the same time. :(

RIP

[BassMasterMike88]

I heard the original Carnivore guitarist died on Monday, RIP

Why is it that when some of the most talented guitarist pass away their death is so unsung? I mean Dimebag was his equal in my opinion but people are still jib jabing about his death, while this death is new to me.

[RCA]

Pantera was pretty mainstream, so the information is expected to affect many people over a wide period of time.

Canadian Pride. XD and I'm not even Canadian. w00t.

Anyways, yep, I don't know what else to say other than I've been busy again, which totally sucks because I haven't been able to get out and goto the record shop to see if I missed any thrash.

I have a license too, and I still haven't gotten my *** out of the house XD...other than summer school.

/waits for everyone to make fun of me. :upset:

When you have the chance to get out, go check and see if the Sacrifice rereleases hit the shelves.

I'll do my best, o' great kn0wer of the mighty thrash metal :lol:

I should do some research first before I go out and waste gas. Besides, FYE is only 5 minutes from school, so I can drive over there.

Yeah, that'd be the smart thing to do, especially because of the current prices of fuel. It's highway robbery!

Unless of course you live in a small town in Iowa, then it would be secondary access road robbery. :D

Very true. Takes me 25 min. to get home, and I already checked Tower and FYE. No finds, ****it x_x

Luckily, Penny Lane isn't far from my trip home since I can take a different route to stop there and put in for a special order. I don't like dealing with the goons sometimes when it comes to special orders at the big chains.

Unless...iTunes has it...hmm...SoulSeek...lol

That reminds me. I need to get SoulSeek sometime tommorrow.

Yes. Persection Mania is badass though. Well worth the money I paid for it. Bombenhagel sounds better on there than it does on "Mortal Way of Live".

It helps me when I try to work with stuff dealing with war. Sodom's war lyrics are really good.

I wish I could write like Onkel Tom XD

I've had my license for over 2 weeks though, but the real card came in the mail last Saturday. It's not hard to drive with the rest of the stooges that probably passed because their examiner felt they can't drive for ****.

Nope, I haven't. I'll check reviews for it though. Solstice is a good band, so it'll probably be worth getting.

Only Torment in Fire is out so far. The others are coming within the next few months.

[Corporal Compendia]

You know guys, I want to like Decibels more than I do... but I don't. One of the biggest problems is this hack for a drummer they had. Rich Oosterbosch or whatever the hell his name was... The loss of Mills is very noticable... this guy is just awful.

[metal-militia]

Nope, I haven't. I'll check reviews for it though. Solstice is a good band, so it'll probably be worth getting.

yeah first album is great, i just want to listen to the follow up before buying it.

I've done stuff to my router so i can browse people on soulseek, so hopefully i'll be able to download off everyone in here now! :thumb:

Dad's business trip and Wacken Open Air.

OVER ****ING KILL! :cool:

Ok. Well, yes, I have to agree, it must be great over in the home of the greatest metal festival grounds. I want to go, but eh, alas I can not. If I did go, I'd have a blast.

As for the Corporal's comments on Decibels, yes, Rich wasn't spectacular. I listened to some of it more, and sometimes, he has his good moments. He did a good job on Goof Soup as well as the re-recording of Instant Death. However, I think Dave and Rob shun through the whole album. The Game is a cool song if you ask me. Rob sounds...super pissed off like a drill seregant at Boot Camp.

Stowaway heaven! XD

Someday before I die, I'm going to make the effort to get over to Wacken when they have a kickass fest. It'd be a great b-day present to me because if they keep having it on the same dates they've had it before, I'd be happy to live and tell my story of how I went to the best metal festival in the world.

I should take the time this year to increase my thrash collection with all these reissues coming out.

[RCA]

That would be one kick-*** birthday present!

Yeah, all of these rereleases are great.

Whats the big music shops in America? I need to know which ones to go to.

[RCA]

Tower Records, FYE, MediaPlay, and Best Buy. Most of them have decent metal selections, but most of them also suck. Your best bet is to look for second hand record shops or smaller record shops.

[metal-militia]

congrats on 2500 :) edit: i added an extra 0 :upset: :lol:

Are there a lot of 2nd/ smaller music places?

[RCA]

Unfortunately, no. :upset:

[metal-militia]

ah well.

What sort of stuff do these music places have? over here my local one has some better stuff like Dark Angel, Forbidden, Xentrix etc.

[RCA]

ah well.

Then your local store officially owns about 60% of mainstream American music stores that have metal sections.

FYE's tend to carry the best stuff. They usually have at least one copy of the must-have albums.

[metal-militia]

well thanks for the info.

you picked up anything in Germany yet?

[RCA]

well thanks for the info.

A vintage Sodom t-shirt. :D

[metal-militia]

Nice! :D

Get some decent German thrash out there if you can find it.

[RCA]

I'll definitely be on the lookout. I've got mp3's of a Terminal Death demo, but now I might just have to go out and find it.

[metal-militia]

By the way, what was the Sodom T shirt?

A gr1m kvlt Witching Metal tee. I'll get pics...

I think the hearts one would be the way to go, but you should get an avatar with an 8-bit Link to go with it.

:lol: x 1,000,000

Yes. Zelda is awesome. I still have Link's Awakening for Game Boy and A Link To The Past for my old SNES.

:p

[RCA]

A Link To The Past is probably my favorite Zelda game. I have high hopes for Twilight Princess.

I'm gonna get some rest. :wave:

[RavenousMetalist87]

A Link To The Past is probably my favorite Zelda game. I have high hopes for Twilight Princess.

I totally forgot what the last Zelda game was...probably the one for N64.

Sadly I never kept up with the gaming consules. :upset:

However, Black Hawk Down is a pretty bad *** game for the PC. Delta Force never disappoints. The humvee levels are like a Disneyland ride with a .50 caliber attached to it.

Edit: random...I know. I need to take care of a few things, then rest before 11 tonight because I need to get over whatever I might be coming down with x_x...**** weather change.

I've got a bunch, only thrash ones are of Slayer, Anthrax, and 2 Megadeth, one from the BTU tour. Its harder to find non big 4 thrash shirts... This Kreator one is pretty cool though.

Hesitant to bring it up again, but after listening to Agent Orange a lot lately, I'd say its definitely better than Persecution Mania.

I never talked down to it, I just like AO more.

Or do you have another sense for that? :p

[metal-militia]

:lol: yeah

It's not like i hate AO... its great... but PM has Nuclear Winter and Sodomy and Lust.

[RCA]

Indeed it does.

Nuclear Winter is probably my favorite Sodom song, but I think Agent Orange works better as an album.

[metal-militia]

Well PM isn't better by a lot. If you combined both you'd have one amazing album.

[RCA]

Well PM isn't better by a lot. If you combined both you'd have one amazing album.

Now that would be a cool idea, though it would look like a greatest hits album.

[metal-militia]

yeah but Sodoms best stuff is pretty much off PM and AO. There are a few later and earlier tracks i would pick too, but i'd choose stuff mainly of those 2.

[RCA]

Agreed.

Sodom's albums after those two are very underrated. I think Tapping the Vein is right up there with PM and AO.

[MAthiAS]

Nuclear Winter is probably my favorite Sodom song, but I think Agent Orange works better as an album.
I agree completely there.

[sensitiveorgan00]

I've been listening to Persecution Mania a bit these days. CHRIST PASSION \m/

Anyways, since we're discussing SODOM, I'd think some of you gusy should check this out. http://www.smnnews.com/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1120681100&archive=&start_from=&ucat=&

SODOM and Finntroll U.S tour later this year. :amaze:

[RCA]

Yeah, I heard about that, and I'll believe it when I see it. Sodom have a reputation of pulling out of tours at the last minute, plus they'd have a hard time getting venues to play in because there's no thrash market here at all.

Finntroll is another story though. I think they'd have little problem finding places to play. I think if Sodom doesn't mind not headlining most of the tour, then that tour could become a reality.

I hope they play though; I REAAALLY want to see them (Finntroll included).

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, Sodom needs to stop with thier last minute crap, it's quite annoying, but if this works out it will be cool, especially with Finntroll. They are one of the few bands I like that are cheesier than ****. :thumb:


NP: Destruction - Confused Mind (If you listen to the acoustic part of this song and listen to one of the acoustic interludes on Coroner's RIP which came out a year later, they are almost exactly the same. Escpecially how they end with a few harmonic notes.....it sounds dead on.


Edit: I realized I suck at life because I can not spell....I edited this post like 4 times....I thought everyone should know :upset:

Gotta love polka metal. :D

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, someone recommended them to me. So, I checked them out on Metal-Archives and it said Polka Influenced Folk/Black Metal......and I had no idea how that was possible, so I grabbed an album by them, and I was quite please even with the mass quantities of cheese

There've been a few on gamecube. The last good one was Wind Waker. Considering you can get a cube where I live for about $AUD70, it's quite a good deal.



On the other hand.......I'm looking for a good site to buy new releases on vinyl. I'm sick of the whole CD thing...if I want digital music, I'll download it. I've found a few label sites, but they mainly don't have the option of sorting out CD releases. I realise this stuff is mostly dead and mostly not done any longer (I was really dissapointed when the newest Megadeth album wasn't on LP), but for some things like the new Atheist reissues I'd definately like to use my great turntable (an inheritance).

So does anybody have any ideas?

[Maveryck]

Having recently acquired Slayer's Show No Mercy and Megadeth's Peace Sells... But Who's Buying, I can say they're probably the best thrash metal albums (and therefore the best albums) I've heard. Curse me for ever having considered Reign In Blood and Rust In Peace the pinnacle of either band!

And while Metallica's 80's stuff rules, as do Kreator and Testament, I'm just not convinced anything can top early Megadeth and Slayer as thrash metal Gods.

/me bows down

[MAthiAS]

And while Metallica's 80's stuff rules, as do Kreator and Testament, I'm just not convinced anything can top early Megadeth and Slayer as thrash metal Gods.

Though Megadeth are among my 3 favorite bands, as far as thrash goes I'd have to say Darkness Descends and Punishment For Decadence are both better than any of those bands' albums (cept maybe Kreator) as thrash albums.

Rust in Peace > KIMB > SFSGSW > Peace Sells, IMO of course.

Nice purchases though.

[CaptainWaits]

Rust in Peace > KIMB > SFSGSW > Peace Sells, IMO of course.

Ahhh, of course, the comparison of Megadeth albums. Always fun to do :)

RIP = CTE > SFSGSW > KIMB > Peace Sells

[Corporal Compendia]

To get into that Sodom argument...

Persecution Mania is better for sure. Agent Orange is great, but it just seems a little too dragged out at times...and PM is just like... YAAAAAAAAAAARGH! all the way.

[FatalEnergy]

oh, it's Megadeth album comparing time.......again

RIP > KIMB > PSBWB > CTE > SFSGSW

[Corporal Compendia]

Megadeth comparisons eh?
Here we go, this is mine.

KIMB = PSBWB >>> The Rest.

[Maveryck]

Man, I hate comparing Megadeth albums, because their best song imo (In My Darkest Hour) is on one of their worst albums imo (So Far, So Good, So What).

Anyways...

Peace Sells > Rust In Peace > Countdown To Extinction > The System Has Failed > EVERYTHING ELSE

[DisposableHeroes]

my Vio-lence re-issue still hasnt turned up(nor my Vengeance CD's or my Annihilator..) never mind though, Eternal Nightmare is on my computer :D along with a live vid of Calling In The Coroner :cool:

[MAthiAS]

Man, I hate comparing Megadeth albums, because their best song imo (In My Darkest Hour) is on one of their worst albums imo (So Far, So Good, So What).

I love SFSGSW, seriously. Into the Lungs of Hell is a great instrumental, Set the World Afire is classic Megadeth, Anarchy meh, Mary Jane is great, 502 is a good fast track, In My Darkest Hour is amazing, Liar is another fun track, Hook in Mouth is ace as well.

[FatalEnergy]

It is a far from bad album, but it's definatley not my favorite. I would have to say it is pretty underrated though

That's the metal additude most bands should have :thumb:

[Terrorzone]

Went to Ozzfest last yesterday. Mastadon was the only band on the second stage worth seeing. The main stage was great except for Mudvayne. Iron Maiden put on the best show I have ever seen. Their setlist was Ides of March, Wrathchild, Phantom of the Opera, The Trooper, Revelations, Run to the Hills, The Number of the Beast, Hallowed be thy Name, Running Free and Sanctuary. Black Sabbath was good, but weak compared Maiden.

I need to start looking for that album

As for the Wacken > Ozzfest, Dragunov made a great comparison, but I did that way back before somewhere on here. I can't remember if it was in here or not...err...

Ah well, went out today to a friend's house, partied a bit, swam, nearly drowned ( :lol: ) because I haven't swam in such a while. My friend and I listened to Maiden and stuff, and well I felt a lot better when I came home for some reason.

That being, I took a shot at playing my guitar again, and discovered some new tricks I never knew I could do. I still have the metal running through my veins, and I can actually make some interesting rock songs too.

The cool thing is that I was actually playing Bestial Invasion's second riff after the intro almost perfectly, and I always have trouble with it. The rest of the song I seem to get pretty good. As for Life Without Sense, I think I got it down pretty good, now that I discovered the main riff through a small jam. Also, my tone sounds like "Alice in Hell" Annihilator, so I'm glad it's crunchy and thrashy XD

Well, then there's the good old playing of Piranha and Exodus (attack!) which I dearly love to play. Good ol' thrash at it's best.

I need to really start playing some more, but not as loud or else I think I'll go deaf :eek:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

On Megadeth: Peace Sells=Rust In Peace > SFSGSW (but only by a little bit)

[FatalEnergy]

Speaking of Megadeth, Gigantour for me is in a week. They better not suck, they didn't last time I saw them last November

[MAthiAS]

Ah, my Gigantour date is August 24th... so long away.

But Ozzfest on Tuesday for me. :cool:

[a8o]

Megadeth definately don't suck live. Saw them in about May (that long ago!) and they rocked my socks. Very professional, Dave really should get around to recording an album with the band.

As for albums:

RIP > TSHF = KIMB (remaster) > PSBWB = TSHF > ... > KIMB (original mix) = Countdown > the rest.

Seriously, we shouldn't underestimate how much that remastering helped.

SODOM: My 2c:

They've got a thrash vibe, but aren't overall thrash. I'd consider them a Death Metal band. But, not being one to discriminate due to genre I'd say "Nuclear Winter" is the greatest, the Agent Orange and Persecution Mania albums sit in the region of "OK to Good". They don't seem to offer me that much on the whole anymore: the thin production doesn't bring out whatever ideas you Sodom freaks believe the band has. I own both albums and really tried to like this band, but find I just don't play them that much.

THat said, I want to legally change my name to Tom Angelripper!

[RCA]

Sodom is in no way death metal. :thumb:

I don't want to see Megadeth because I'll be feeding Dave's wallet, and I'll also never get to see them play the The Conjuring.

If that's the date, go. Its one of the Anthrax dates I'm pretty sure.

What about Blackmail the Universe?

Anyway, I have a feeling that since they just released that greatest hits, they won't play as much from the new album. In fact, they might even bust out some Take No Prisoners, Rattlehead, and Five Magics, which would just kick ***.

[metal-militia]

The Conjuring is a great song... its a shame Dave took it off the setlist. :upset:

[DimebagDarrell]

Yeah they played that one when I saw them. They played Back In The Day too, the second half of that song owns live.

I seen megadeth when diamond head supported them in febuary it was a totally amazing gig everyone has to see megadeth at least once. They played back in the day then the guys from diamond head came one and played it with them also they played peace sells half way then cut into holy wars all the way up to where the punishment is due cuts in then back into the rest of peace sells. Insane

[CaptainWaits]

If that's the date, go. Its one of the Anthrax dates I'm pretty sure.

Yeh. It's an Anthrax date, but there's no Symphony X on that date :upset: .

Ugh, all these CDs I need to buy... Still have to get the Eternal Nightmare rerelease... and now Sacrifice, plus I'm going to end up buying if I can't download Handle with Care, Illusions/Chemical Exposure, RIP, and The Ultra Violence.

They're all worth buying though, so you won't be disappointed. That Nuclear Assault album has some "WTF?" moments on it though.

Nice, nice.

In a couple weeks or so I'll hit 6,666... the number of the UBER beast!

[RCA]

How so?

It will be thrashing along nicely, and then a riff that doesn't add to the thrashing madness will be played, and totally screw up the vibe of the song. The heavy-as-**** breakdowns are still to be found, but the quality of the songs isn't quite as good as it was on Game Over or Survive.

Then again, it's not as bad as Out Of Order or Something Wicked.

Nice, nice.

In a couple weeks or so I'll hit 6,666... the number of the UBER beast!

Thee uber beast shall be summoned upon thy Earth in due time. I await this infernally brilliant event. :evil:

[RavenousMetalist87]

Ah, my fellow thrashers.

I have given Phoenix Rising by Destroyer 666 a second listen again, and I realized, I was a ****ing idiot to doubt such awesome power. Australian Black Thrash at supreme awesomeness.

I can't turn my speakers too lound cause on one of the songs, it gets really loud out of nowhere and then goes back. I haven't undertstood why.

It's still a really good album. The double bass is good...extremely good. My subw00fer loves it.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Alright, I'm bored with my music right now, I need an incredible thrash album that will not dissapoint. I'm going to the store tomorrow(or today?) and I want to buy a good thrash album. I'm open for suggestions, just tell me if they have harsh vocals or thrash vocals though because I'm kinda spent on all the harsh vocals.

It's not that incredible thrash album you're waiting for. It's OK, but won't inspire you, unless you're a huge fan of older Kreator, which iof you havenm't heard hte album by now I'm guessing you're not.

If you are going to get some Kreator. Get Coma Of Souls. Also try Bonded by Blood by Exodus.

Its not genre defining or anything, but I thought it was a good listen... Get Pleasure to Kill if you don't have it yet.

Or Darkness Descends if you don't have that. I gave that album a listen for the first time in a while yesterday... it absolutely slays... its a must listen for anyone I'd say.

It's a great tracklisting, but it lacks thrashier Metal Church. I would've put Merciless Onslaught or Western Alliance instead of the self-titled song.

[MAthiAS]

I would've changed a few songs... throw on some Ripping Corpse and Nuclear Winter, something like that... But looks good.

[RCA]

Ripping Corpse = my favorite Kreator song. Then again, most of you could've added two and two, looked at my old username, and found that out. :D

Next up, they're doing Forward To Termination. Both of these albums desperately needed a remastering to boost the volume a little... and both albums have indeed been remastered. Woo!

Along with this, I also got a few Sabbat albums(Japanese Sabbat).

Great ****, although Soundchaser beats Unity by far because it actually has melody and moves away from the keys that were all over Unity. Their latest line-up is pure class: Terrana on drums and Smolski on guitars and Wagner is class as always.

If anythyinjg, they probably don't get the recognition they deserve because they're so **** prolific. They have more great songs than a lot of really recognised speed metal, but spread them through a huge discography with really only a few class records.

Soundchaser, Unity, Ten Years In Rage, Trapped and Perfect Man are the ones I'd keep, and would ditch the rest as, although they all have at least one classic track, there's usually too much crap to come with it.

Looking forward to their next album.

[a8o]

they did **** all apart from release some overated albums (apart from The Legacy)

Their legacy is **** all, but Practice What You Preach and Low are pretty good records. They didn't do anything new, but for fans of their genre, they're a fine band. They seem to be disliked around these parts. Why?

The drumming doesn't do **** for me though. No variety.

[Terrorzone]

Are you talking about the drumming on Low?

[FatalEnergy]

The drumming on Low really isn't even all that great, they didn't really have good drumming until 1999's "The Gathering" with Lombardo.......but....the only thing good about that album is the drumming. The rest of it is pretty horrible if you ask me.


Anyone hear of this side Project of the guitsarist from Watchtower? Apparently he recuited the bassist for Cannibal Corpse and the drummer from Lamb of Suck. I've heard some of it and it sounds pretty ****ing awesome. In fact it sounds almost like Watchtower, but more technical

[RavenousMetalist87]

I thought Low had some rather better drumming than the previous albums before it.

Yes. Overkill for sure are deffinetly a big Thrash band anywhere's you go, and for good reason IMO. The one thing that bothers most people about them is Blitz's voice.

[MAthiAS]

Honestly he sounds like Elmo sometimes. Not to say they don't have their share of thrash gems.

[FatalEnergy]

I love Blitz's voice, it's unique. About Testament......I used to be the biggest Testament fan, but over time I started liking them less and less, because they just seem really weak compared to all the other thrash out there. I still have a soft place for the first 5 albums as weak and over rated as they may be, but they are far from my favorite though. They are the band that really introduced me to the more underground thrash scene though

[FlyingPaul_83]

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, his voice was awesome back in the day before all the death growling.
/has never listened to post PWYP Testament

[FatalEnergy]

How does that stack up against The Antichrist?


Well, It is a lot more technical, because they had Olly who was a jazz drummer and Harry who was a classical guitarist. Mike's riffs were way more technical because he said he started listening to Fates Warning and Watchtower. It's not a brutal as the Antichrist, and probably not as catchy, but I like the vocals/riffs/solos more.

[MAthiAS]

Sounds like another album I need to buy :)

[FatalEnergy]

/has never listened to post PWYP Testament

I personally like PWYP, although no one else does and everyone says it's weak. I can see why. The album after PWYP is "Souls of Black" and isn't too much different then PWYP. The album after Souls of Black is "The Ritual" and they tried to go for a more commercial so the thrash is pretty much gone, but I like it as a metal album. It's not a musical abortion like Metallica's Black album. After that "Low" came out and just tried to be down-tuned 90's thrash, but is kind of lame. "Demonic" came out in '97 and is by far the shittiest album. It's all death vocals, no solos and groove monkey homo riffs. "The Gathering" came out in '99 and is a mixture of "Low" and "Demonic", except with cool drumming, because Lombardo plays on it, but other than that, it blows

[MAthiAS]

I also like PWYP, its not a bad album. I prefer it to TNO even.

What about First Strike Still Deadly?

[FatalEnergy]

First Strike Still Deadly is just a bunch of old tunes from the first The Legacy and TNO re-recorded with better production.....but played at half the speed and intesity, so it's quite gay. The only track on there that is essential is the re-recorded verion of "Reign of Terror", because it's awesome thrash with the almighty Zetro doing vocals

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I also like PWYP, its not a bad album. I prefer it to TNO even.

And yes, I know it wasn't a huge contribution, but I was just saying, I like the contribution of mostly the legacy.

I'm not having a go at you, its just Testament started releasing albums when thrash had been around for a few years, so they didn't actually contribute anything new at all.

Anthrax only had 1 good album(Fistful), and Testament were just run of the mill, it's been done 1000 times before by better bands, simple thrash with plenty of ballads for good measure! Only albums I have from them are Low and The Gathering, because I'm a James Murphy whore.

How does that stack up against The Antichrist?

DISSATISFIED!!! EXISTENCE!!!

RfA is a solid album.

Good to hear :) Though I do like most of Anthrax's material.

[MegaMustaine]

I enjoy most of Anthrax's material.

As do I; Anthrax are always fun to listen to, aside from their newer groove material.

Yeah, the new groove is lacking.

Have you had a chance to see them live since Belladonna rejoined? They were awesome when I saw them.

I really want to, I know a kid whose lucky and seeing them in like toronto on Gigantour. I want to go to that pretty bad, but no where near Kansas.

I hope they do some sort of an American Tour possibly, because I want to check it out.

Yep. I get to see them when they come to Calgary with Gigantour in September, that is if I go :)

[FatalEnergy]

lucky bastards, I'm going to see Gigantour with DT, which is cool because I love DT, but I've already seen them before

[Terrorzone]

I don't really like most the bands on Gigantour. But Megadeth and Nevermore make it worth going to.

[FatalEnergy]

To be honest I only like Megadeth, Dream Theater, and Symphony X on the tour. I've never really heard any Nevermore, but everyone keeps saying that they are great.

[RCA]

I'm not too keen on Nevermore. :shrug:

[metal-militia]

meh, none of the guys on giantour bother me except Megadeth. It would've been good if Overkill would've been added to the list.

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, Mustaine said he was going to try to get them on the tour, but I guess he failed.......oh well, I'm seeing them in two months anyway!!!

NP: Headhunter - Parody of Life

[MAthiAS]

I like Nevermore quite a bit... and I wish I was going to one of the Anthrax dates. I love DT, but I'd rather see Anthrax...

heh, I get to see them 6 days after Gigantour :cool:

123 I would much rather see anthrax than DT. DT is good and all that, but Seeing anthrax would be awesome.

[FatalEnergy]

any of you guys ever heard a band called Arcane? Apparently they've been around for a while, but I've never herad them. They are more prog like Watchtower, awesome stuff though. Check it out
