[QUOTE=LegionsofMarduk;13514327]What's your slsk name? Mine is the same as here. I haven't been on in ages, but maybe I'll get on there tonight and try to find some of their stuff. I did end up hearing a few samples off their website. It sounded promising, but the samples were pretty short.[/QUOTE]
My username on slsk is MetalOz as well. I'll leave the Lanfear album in my shared folder if you want to try d/ling it that way... I'll probably upload for the DU next week as well :p

Titch, have you been to see Dragonforce yet?

If so how were they?

Oh ok. I'll just wait for it then. I ended up not getting on the computer much last night but my wife is gonig to be gone tonight so I'll probably be on there. I'll add you to my list.

Listening to Edguy's Theatre of Salvation. I havn't listened to this album in a loong time. This is good stuff. I really need to buy some Edguy albums. If only I had the money to buy all the albums I wanted...

What's the best Edguy album in you guys opinion ?

NP Land of the Miracle

Txus 10-29-2006 08:27 PM

I'm in love with [I]Hellfire Club.[/I]

Stormrider 10-29-2006 08:30 PM

I almost bought that album a while back. I walked out with Sonic Firestorm instead. I'm not sure if I did a mistake or not, because for me Edguy > Dragonforce. Sonic Firestorm is okay. I really love the songs My Spirit Will Go On, Fury of the Storm and Soldiers of the Wasteland. hose are the only songs I listen fromt he album, usually. And that's when I do listen to that album...

MetalOz 10-29-2006 09:46 PM

Mandrake is one of my favorite Edguy albums... here's a decent review:

Mandrake is probably my favorite.

ArcLite 10-30-2006 12:06 AM

Toss up with Mandrake and Hellfire Club for me. Pretty sure Pharaoh is one of the greatest songs ever made.

Sorry, I left you a comment :) A lot of times I don't even look for reviews on sputnik because of the insane amount of fanboyism :(

Tyr 10-30-2006 01:24 PM

I'd say that [I]Mandrake[/I] is their best, followed by [I]Hellfire Club[/I].

Stormrider 10-30-2006 03:18 PM

Hmm, Mandrake is making me curious. I should check it out. I'm not sure whether I heard a song or 2 from the album or not...

/too laxy to check

Thank you kindly.

I only review albums I like, usually, so it usually puts the album in a positive light. I try to point out negative aspects of the album if there are any though.

ExitWound 11-03-2006 04:56 PM

I snagged an Autographed copy of United, Dream Evil's new disc. mmmmmmm.

Riva 11-03-2006 05:52 PM

Nice. What do you think of it so far?

Shattered_Future 11-03-2006 06:08 PM

I should give that a complete runthrough sometime...first impressions had me not liking it much. Snowy took much of what made the band good with him.

Riva 11-03-2006 06:11 PM

I'm just glad Niklas hung around.

Shattered_Future 11-03-2006 06:12 PM

Very true. I love his voice.

ExitWound 11-03-2006 07:44 PM

I agree. Snowy took a lot of the band. The songs strike a similar chord to The Book of Heavy Metal, the songs that snowy [i]didn't[/i] write. It's softer and more hard rock than Evilized or DragonSlayer was. Niklas voice has matured though and keeps the band sounding really really solid.

If you want to hear some samples of it, head on over to my site. ([url]http://www.theexitwound.com[/url]) I have roughly half the album up for listening. Don't kill my bandwith please. :)

The disc came with a second 3" miniCD with 5 bonus songs. Total of 17 songs. One of the tracks [i]My Number One[/i] is a cover of the hit single from Elena Paparizou, winner of the 50th Eurovision Contest. Being from America, I have absolutely no idea what this is all about sooo... Wikipedia was my friend. However, it's probably one of the more unique Dream Evil songs they've ever done.

Deth 11-03-2006 09:04 PM

I wish Lord Tim would show up again. He was pretty awesome.

Apocalyptic Raids 11-03-2006 09:41 PM

He has probably been busy with the new Dungeon album.

pate 11-04-2006 11:51 PM

The new Dream Evil is solid.

Lord Tim 11-05-2006 01:43 AM

I'm around! :)

For some reason my login doesn't stay active and Firefox keeps forgetting the password even though it's in the saved list, so it makes it hard to reply on the fly sometimes. :(

Glad everyone who got the final Dungeon album likes it! :) Not sure when it'll be out in EU/USA... long story... but it'll be up in an online store that's added to the Dungeon website this week so you'll be able to grab it from there if you're keen.

Cheers, folks - hope you're all doing well! :)

Apocalyptic Raids 11-05-2006 01:45 AM

Hello Tim.

The reason you don't stay logged in is probably because the Admin disabled the 'Remember Me' option for security reasons :(

I haven't got around to picking up the album yet, but the samples I heard a month or two back sounded great, so I definitely intend on it.

Stormrider 11-05-2006 09:52 AM

The Remember me buttom is still there for the Blue skin though.

Apocalyptic Raids 11-05-2006 09:54 AM

Yeah but the blue skin is ugly :o

Dark ftw

Stormrider 11-05-2006 09:57 AM

I always use the Blue Skin heheh :p

The only time I ever used black was for about 5 minutes when I was trying them out.

pate 11-05-2006 01:46 PM

Blue is the best. Old school huzzah.

So I'm on a Winters Bane kick again. :)

Riva 11-05-2006 06:36 PM

Nah, I'm on black skin now, black... like my soul?

Good to see you're still around Tim. I also like how saying your name summons you to the forum. :p

Steerpike 11-05-2006 06:53 PM

Tim's like a genie in that way. Only he comes bearing albums and tabs instead of wishes. Fair trade-off.

ArcLite 11-08-2006 11:01 PM

[QUOTE=pate;13570487]The new Dream Evil is solid.[/QUOTE]

I just got it yesterday and am actually a bit disapointed. Fire! Battle! In Metal! may be one of their best and most as[size=2]s[/size] kicking songs ever, not to mention the great sing along quality. However, the rest of the album flat out bored me. All the choruses sounded similar and nothing got me going. Oh well, maybe it will grow on me.


/Has also been on a Winters Bane binge

MetalOz 11-09-2006 08:10 AM

Anyone else heard the new Tarot album? I'm liking it a lot. There's a few places where the keyboards are a bit overpowering in the mix but the songwriting is good. Tommi "Tuple" Salmela is now a fulltime member of the band. I can't tell if he or Marco is doing the vocals, they sound very much alike.

Stormrider 11-09-2006 03:42 PM

I've only heard Tarot's uhh...what ever the album with the song I Rule on it is called :p. Never really did anything for me :-/

I deleted the album...though I can't say I gave it a very big chance.

1. Where did you get it?
2. What can I do to get said album?

It was released Oct 27th. I'm uploading it as we speak along with the You single (has a Blue Oyster Cult cover song on it) and the video for Ashes to the Stars. The video looks like Marco is singing the verses and Tommi is singing the choruses on that song.

Stormrider 11-10-2006 05:53 PM

My teacher today, made me listen to soem Winters Bane today. Listened to the first 45 seconds of a song off Heart of a Killer. That was sweet stuff ! I need to get that.

Tyr 11-10-2006 05:55 PM

Winters Bane did absolutely nothing for me. I think I'm drifting away from power metal a bit.

pate 11-10-2006 07:40 PM

I've been ranting about Winters Bane for how long, Jammie? :lol:

I'll forward the issue of the DU that had those albums.
