fu[SIZE=3][/SIZE]ck I haven't been to rock&metal for so da[COLOR=Lime][/COLOR]mn long...I made another Power metal thread without realising this one existed... :upset:


I just got silence by Sonata Arctica...difficult to get here, had to go to a power metal cd shop :D ...any other sonata albums anyone reccomend?

[QUOTE=LaihoRocker666]When???[/QUOTE]

Wasn't it like, 17 years ago?

1995, wasn't it?

I just up my review for Hellfire Club. I hope I did okay, since this is my first one.

New Angra anyone? I got some songs off it, it's fvcking killer. Everyone's talking good stuff about it as well. Also, I bought Kamelot - The Fourth Legacy (used) last night. Any fans of Kamelot here?

My Dad bought The Best of Rhapsody yesterday, I've not heard all of it but it seems to be pretty good so far.

I saw a Wintersun cd in Virgin Megastore last week, I'll probably buy it after x-mas if its still there.

Good job. :wave: I can't wait to pick it up. Unfortunately, my local cd shop doesn't carry much power metal (or any metal, for that matter :upset: ) so I have to wait 'till I venture into the city before I can get it.

BUY IT NOW!!! It's a fantastic cd. :thumb:

I just had mine special-ordered from FYE.

I might be going into the city next week so I'll definitely be picking it up then.

Well, I'm listening to more Children of Bodom. Musically, an awesome band, and I'm starting to get more accustomed to Alexi's vocals. But looking at the lyrics, I'm beginning to think his grasp over English isn't terribly... strong. They sound like something from an 80's horror movie. I'm not quite sure how to feel about that just yet.

:lol:

Agreed on the CoB lyircs thing.

Has anyone heard the new Angra - "Temple of Shadows" yet? I have a few songs, it's fvcking killer. It has guest appearences from Hansi (Blind Guardian) and Kai (ex-Helloween). A lot of reviews I read really praised this album a lot. I suggest you guys check it out.

I picked up Kamelot - "The Fourth Legacy" a week ago, it's not bad. The vocals are well done, and so are the some of the guitar tracks.

FYE = wallet rape :upset:

Unfortunately they're the only store anywhere near me with a decent selection.

Yeah I know, there prices are high but they usually have what I want.

[QUOTE=Iron Man]FYE = wallet rape :upset:

I know. I'm always very careful to compare prices before I buy anything from them. I actually came in during a Christmas sale and got a DVD box set for my grandfather for $15 cheaper than it was at Amazon.

My family is very good at stretching out our money.

Bleh. The only stores around me have high prices [i]and[/i] a ****ty selection. $42 for Helloween's 'Better than Raw'? Sounds like a deal to me!


I did score an $8.00 copy of 'Holy Diver' though, so I guess I can't really complain.

Heh, two CDs ran me $33 there yesterday.

And, on a side note, I have Hall of the Mountain King from Savatage. Interesting, to say the least.

Scored that one for $11.

They have some good used cds. But yeah, their prices are crazy.

try falconer and rhapsody

How could I have forgotten Rhaposdy?

(kneels down with broadword point-down and begs for forgiveness)

Ahh, i tried Nightwish and Helloween already. Helloween = good, but i dont like Nightwishes vocals.

[QUOTE=88_Fingers_Joe]but i dont like Nightwishes vocals.[/QUOTE]

Maybe it's a matter of personal taste, but I didn't think that was possible.

Maybe i shall re-listen.

What songs did you listen to?

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Maybe it's a matter of personal taste, but I didn't think that was possible.[/QUOTE]

Either did I, I think she has a great voice. Anyway, I think female vocals give me a break from the norm, which is why I enjoy Nightwish

I agree, Nightwish's vocals are incredible.

Tarja (from Nightwish) has an amazing voice! I was going to see them in Toronto last night, but my parents decided that he had to visit my grandparents instead :angry:

****in’ Jesus. Why couldn’t he have been born in the summer? I've heard Middle-Eastern summers are quite nice.

I'm watching their website like a hawk. I'll be in Maryland the month they're coming through, and I plan on bribing a friend of mine to provide me with transportation to that concert. The instant the tickets go on sale, I'm buying the best seats I can afford.

That must have sucked. That gives me another reason for hating Christmas.

Edit: To Hitroshimite

Sure did :) I'm considering converting to Judaism, Christmas is too much of a headache. I'll take not having to spend time with my family over free stuff any day, thank you very much.
