Okay I just finished writing the music for The Veil of Shadow. Solo still needs some work, and since it's all GuitarPro midi, the mixing and sound in some parts is kind of balls.

But if anybody wants to take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. None of my metalhead friends are currently local.

I'm interested to hear it.

Gamma Ray are great and very underrated.

I have been listening to Shadowland by Nocturnal Rites a hell of alot recently.

Superb album.

I wantz to hear. I love GP4/5 midis.

So, anyone heard the new Rhapsody (of Fire) album, Triumph or Agony?

No, and I really want to.

My friend sent it to me the other day... It's not a bad album, just really not what I was expecting. I'd rather it lose a good deal of its symphonic qualities and replace them with some more power metal qualities. The Mystic Prophecy Of The Demon Knight kicks *** though.

[I]The Mystic Prophecy of the Demon Knight[/I] is awesome and I think the album as a whole is good, too. Maybe not as good as their best albums, but good nonetheless.

I'm seeing Dragonforce on monday !

Wasn't expecting that on vacation haha.

NP Blind Guardian - Noldor

Lucky bastard...Dragonforce is playing the EXACT SAME DAY here as the day we got tickets for Gigantour. I'm not sure which is better...

The one thing I don't like about Rhapsody is, aside from certain songs with memorable moments, they really are quite interchangeable.

Interchangable but enjoyable is how I describe them.

God Riva you always come up with the best avatars. Seriously I remember that cartoon now. LOL!

Don't you open that trapdoor!

Cause there's something down their ahh.
Burp!

Haha thats was the best. Mmm memorys

Yeah, and all their song titles kick poontang.

NP: Blind Guardian - Time Stands Still at the I-rawn Hill (Live)

Have to love Hansi's accent.

When he talk or when he sings?

When he sings, his accent rears its ugly head once in a while.

In old albums mostly.

[I]The bards and their songssss
When houourrrs have gone by
IIII close my eyyyes[/I]

:p

*people will shoot me* I never really saw what was so good about The Bard's Song.

:eek:

It's the first BG song I've ever liked (along with Mystical Bard). It's just so fascinating, emotional and mystica and epic...Plus it has huge live value.

It's really good. In the Forest anyway, The Hobbit I don't find that great.

True, the live value is immense...I just never really "got" it. Or really any of BG's acoustic work, for that matter. It just sounds so...bland, almost.

Too late for me in my hands it lies I thought
But now he's in me[/I]

[QUOTE=Jammie on MSN]like nightfall, curse of feanor are amazing songs...i love into the storm, mirror mirror, and other parts of other songs, but the second half of the album is kinda like...meh for the most :-/[/QUOTE]

:eek:



You're all untr00, that's your problem :angry:

[QUOTE=Stoic]You're all untr00, that's your problem :angry:[/QUOTE]
I think I have to agree with Jammie, actually. I think the first half is much better than the second.

I too agree.

This would be the YSI link for The Veil of Shadow. I don't know, I like the riffs, but I'm never very satisfied with the solo.

I like the second half of NIME more. Actually, right near the middle is my favorite part.

Who here is familiar with Vhaldemar? Some real good Spanish power metal.

I've heard about them, but I've never heard them. What do they sound like?

They're nothing hugely innovative or anything, just good ol fast paced power metal. They have really cool gang vocals, and the guitarist is quite good. He reminds me alot of Paul Gilbert. They use some Flamenco here and there too, which is cool.
