I really enjoy [I]Theater of Salvation[/I] after a couple of spins. I like it more than my other Edguy, [I]Hellfire Club[/I]. I'm loving the mass amount of melodies this album offers :)

Tyler 02-07-2007 10:33 PM

I just ordered the first Lost Horizon album. They're too good. I'm making the "A Flame to the Ground Beneath" cover my Avatar. I wish it was bigger though :(

If someone feels generous ;)

CaptainWaits 02-07-2007 10:45 PM

What are Lost Horizon like?? I've seen a couple avatars of them.

Tyler 02-07-2007 10:50 PM

They play the epic and cheesy brand of Power Metal. Some of the most grandiose and uplifting music around, they make me feel like I can fly.

Riva 02-08-2007 03:27 AM

They are brilliance defined. Easily some of the most talented musicians in power metal today, even if Daniel left them. :( Seriously, he had a seriously powerful voice with huge range.

I wonder if I could get to Download and Bloodstock, after all, I'm probably only getting a Download day ticket for the Sunday and Maiden...

Some of the notes he hit were inhumanly high. I love his voice, it's so great. I didn't know he left, though.:eek:

5000 POSTS!! :eek:


NP: Rage - Speak of the Dead

ArcLite 02-08-2007 12:24 PM

Yeah, I didn't know he left. Bummer. Lost Horizon is awesomely good. A Flame to the Ground Beneath and Awakening the World are great albums. As far as Edguy goes, I've been whoring the piss out of the track Sacrifice from the new album Rocket Ride. Sweet song, but album on the whole, not as good as previous material.

NP: Metal Church - Gods of Wrath

Shattered_Future 02-08-2007 02:11 PM

Lost Horizon is awesome.

So, ok. I came home today to a terrific email message awaiting me.

[SIZE="7"]SYMPHONY X IS PLAYING MAY 25TH AT B.B. KINGS![/SIZE]

Stoic 02-08-2007 03:01 PM

Are you going? :rolleyes::p

MetalOz 02-08-2007 03:17 PM

Is LePond back? Why do you get a show and I don't?! Usually when they tour, there's a date near me within a few days of playing at B.B. King's

Shattered_Future 02-08-2007 03:44 PM

Tickets aren't even on sale to the general public yet though. I'm sure more dates will be announced later.

ok im interested now, can someone send me some samples over aim or email?

Riva 02-08-2007 05:39 PM

From those there, I'd listen to [B]World Through My Fateless Eyes[/B] and [B]Sworn In The Metal Wind[/B] first.

Tyler 02-08-2007 05:45 PM

i seriously can't wait to get their first album in the mail. im not going to download it either.

Riva 02-08-2007 05:47 PM

Dude, it rocks, I have both in hardcopy form and I love them. Their artwork is sometimes atrocious though, but cool in its own cheesy way. :D

Tyler 02-08-2007 05:54 PM

Nah, their artwork is perfectly reasonable when you listen to their music. I was going to order A Flame To... but it was out of stock. I'll be checking the used album store frequently though.

Riva 02-08-2007 05:58 PM

No, I mean there's a shot of a sunset that looks cool, but from a photography perspective is pretty amateur.

According to my ex, at least. :p

Tyler 02-08-2007 06:49 PM

That must be in the album inserts or something. I'm referring to album covers exclusively. AMG gave their first album 1.5/5...wtf?

Riva 02-08-2007 08:01 PM

Dude, I gave their first album a 5/5, and the second 4.5. And we all know how good my judgement is.

*sagenod me*

Tyler 02-08-2007 08:03 PM

Their second is a definite 5/5 in my book

Riva 02-08-2007 08:10 PM

I guess so, especially since it has Pure and Highlander (The One).

At the time I liked [I]Awakening The World[/I] better.

NP: Lost Horizon - Heart Of Storm

I love Daniel's accent. "And now waa stud there ay to ay" and then Wojtek and Martin say in the background "Eye to eye".

CaptainWaits 02-08-2007 08:57 PM

I wouldn't rely on AMG that much, especially for metal....

Tyler 02-08-2007 08:58 PM

I still like AMG

CaptainWaits 02-08-2007 09:15 PM

[QUOTE=Cocaine;14167937]I still like AMG[/QUOTE]
It's good for giving you information about certain artists, but it doesn't have a very reliable rating system, IMO at least.

However, AMG is one of the main places that has introduced me to a ton of bands. The others being MA and here....

NP: Xavier Rudd - Food In the Belly (the album)

Riva 02-08-2007 09:16 PM

I love that Tom Waits avatar, mate. (I hope it's Tom Waits, since I was almost certain I have that album).

CaptainWaits 02-08-2007 09:23 PM

[QUOTE=Riva;14168157]I love that Tom Waits avatar, mate. (I hope it's Tom Waits, since I was almost certain I have that album).[/QUOTE]
It is :)

It's a painting of the "Nighthawks At the Diner" album. I love the look. So a Tom Waits fan then eh? Good to hear. He's absolutely brilliant, and hands down without question my favorite musician, songwriter, lyric writer, etc, etc.

Stoic 02-10-2007 12:21 PM

Hooray, Slough Feg listening party! Support :mad:

Tyler 02-10-2007 12:27 PM

I know I've asked this before, but have you guys listened to [I]Manticora[/I]? Their new release, to be specific?

I really, really enjoy it. It's slightly darker Power Metal with a distinct progressive slant, yet it somehow manages to be a fun concept album about a twisted circus. I highly recommend it to you. Plus it's always nice to hear a Power Metal singer whose voice doesn't abuse his upper register.

Stoic 02-10-2007 12:32 PM

I have a Manticora album here somewhere. I remember liking their style but found the vocalist rather annoying. Now that you said it I should check them out again, who knows they might have changed vocalist or he might have improved.

Tyler 02-10-2007 12:40 PM

As far as I know they've always had the same vocalist. At times his voice is a little dull, at others it's a little forced, yet I still really, really enjoy it. [I]The Black Circus Part 1 - Letters[/I] is the album I have.

[url]http://www.myspace.com/manticorarocks[/url]

Listen to "Forever Carousel", it's what led me to check the album out.

Stormrider 02-10-2007 12:44 PM

Listening to it now. T'is pretty cool. I might have to check this album out.

I can see why the singer could have annoyed Stoic, though.

Tyler 02-10-2007 12:46 PM

I just love the way the song sort of pauses, and then goes, FAAAASTEEEEEEEEEER! I think a lot of the issues with the album/group are a result of the production, it's a little flat.

Stormrider 02-10-2007 12:49 PM

Okay, that song was actually pretty sweet. You still have a link to the album( if that's what you used) ?

Tyler 02-10-2007 12:50 PM

I could find one probably. If not, maybe I'll upload it. I'm bored and it looks like my plans for the day are falling through.

Stormrider 02-10-2007 12:52 PM

Okay, well thanks if you do upload it :)

I'm listening to the other song ont eh myspace, Playing God. I rather the vocals on this song me thinks.
