I can indeed, enjoy!

I Just got Firewind's Premonition album. Haha that maniac cover pwnt.

It's a pretty good album, actually. Sometimes I think the vocalist gets a bit too impressed with himself, though. At times it would have been nice to hear him lower in the mix, instead of in the forefront.

Finally ordered Kamelot's One Cold Winter's Night.
Can't wait!

The DVD or CD? I have the CD and it's excellent.

DVD.
It burns a hole in my pocket but thats the price you have to pay for the imports.

the whole album pwns quite frankly.

I find Apollo extremely meh. His singing sounds so hollow and bland.

I think the whole band is hollow and bland, TBQH. I do love Gus as a guitarist, though, and their drummer has those badass cymbals that look like the Independent symbol. Other than that, blegh.

Seeing them in a week though. Go figure.

eh, I like him a lot. He is a good and quality singer imo.

You need the DVD. If only to see Snowy Shaw be... himself.

I like how he doesn't actually do anything except prance around with his cane. Shagrath's vocals are totally pumped in over the music.

Yeah, but Snowy's awesome* so it doesn't matter.


* = when not writing for Dream Evil

Please, he wrote all the best stuff for them.

Well, maybe him and Nordstrom, but he definately had his fair share.

The stuff Snowy wrote was terrible.

Hey brosephs, new Sabaton leaked.

Kickass

It's not very good so far :(

Aww, but it would be bloody hard to match Primo Victoria.

does anybody know if Pertness are any good? ive seen their new album on blogs but i cant seem to find a myspace for them or anything. i might just get the album tomorrow if im done with some other albums first.

New Human Fortress is about, but I'm not too sure whether to care or much. Defenders of the Crown is immense though.

Just got the first 3 Dungeon albums in.


*hopes LT makes his annual trip to MX today*

You guys should check out Benedictum, if you havent already ... They are not powermetal, but some of you might like them.

Excellent band, and even better live.

yeh the guitarist is this big (fat) black dude ... never saw that coming.

i love Benedictum. their singer is a busty beast

Indeed she is, and her talking voice is normal....unexpected.

So I've been listening to Heed. They are actually really good.

I don't think so. Maybe it was cruel for everyone to compare them to Lost Horizon straight off the bat (as I did), but even so they're pretty average.

If Daniel was taken away from the band, they would be pretty bland. His vocals add a layer to the music that makes it very appealing to me. I have to admit there are some catchy choruses and riffs as well. I just think it's a really good band.

The sad thing is that Daniel doesn't seem to know how to utilize his own vocals as well as Wojtek did.

I hate comparing bands to their predecessors, but Heed have set themselves up so that it's hard to avoid.

Damn it, the albums wouldn't even be that bad if the production wasn't so bloody awful.

I kind of disagree about that. Take the song Salvation for instance. At the end of it, Daniel hits an insanely high note for about 14 seconds. I honestly think Heed is better than people give them credit for.

So, Daniel, whom you previously said is what makes Heed better than average, hits a high note (with no help from the rest of the band) and that is evidence for the band themselves being better?

I really like the new Pyramaze album a lot.

It doesn't make the actual musicians better, but it makes the experience much better. His vocals are still pretty crazy throughout the album and the band does play some good stuff too. I am not saying they are better than Lost Horizon, because they are not, but I am not comparing the two when I listen to Heed. I think of Heed as a new band that happens to have two former Lost Horizon members and they put out a hell of a debut.
