The Title track is indeed amazing. One of my favorite chorus's ever too. Also, what gives it bonus points is the fact that Hansi guests int eh song :cool:

I love the part where he comes in and shows his Hansiness.

I don't really care for Hansi. I'm totally indifferent.

Pfft. You like Blind Guardian though ?

Yeah

Ah okay then. I got scared, there :p

I mean, I would still love the song if Hansi didn't appear in it. I just like the part where he sings, heh.

Europe was the most power metal non-power metal band ever.

I had the synth line to "The Final Countdown" stuck in my head for a whole weekend about a month ago. So good.

Heh, that song is so cool.

Have you guys heard Black Majesty? This album is so great.

Black Majesty is alright in my book. LMP puts out very good music.

Is everyone rubbing their hands (and possibly cocks) in glee in anticipation of the new Sonata album and hopefully tour?

September 30th for me. :cool:

Meh...Sonata.

I'm relistening to Rhapsody's Symphony of Enchanted Lands for the second time right now. Better then I remembered it to be. It's actually pretty cool. Except for the fact that the title track is 7 minutes instead of 13...

The reluctance of most power metal bands to tour England properly is frustrating... I mean...are Manowar coming here for example?

No, about 20 dates in Germany and about 5 in the ****ing Czech Republic for ****'s sake!

They need to keep their European tour cred going.

"Hey, I heard you guys were playing in London?!"

"What, London? Nooo, you must mean Lublin, in Poland. Yeah... big power metal community there. Like 200 fans of the music, at least."

London sucks anyway. It has a measurement, cpsi
I'll leave you to work it out.

(hint, first word has four letters)

Seriously though, PM bands have this big problem with touring England, Manowar are all well and good for hailing England, but when it comes to actually playing here...

chavs per square inch?

Corn peels scream insanity?

i think blind guardian are playing bloodstock, but i guess festivals don't count

Man, I just found out that Winters Bane is playing the same night as the Chicago Powerfest I'm going to...at 10pm. Atheist comes on at Powerfest at 10:30. I'm so pissed. Winters Bane is one of my absolute favorites.

Well, who would you rather see then? Atheist or Winter's Bane?

There's probably more chances in the future that Wintersbane will be touring more then Atheist...

Yeah, I'd go to Atheist over Winter's Bane.

Anyone here heard of Scariot?

Really cool Power/Thrash with Steve D on bass.

Mike, Jammie, Jason: I know, that's no doubt the decision I'm making, but it's still pissing me off.

That sucks man. I'd probably have to go to Winters Bane despite the rarity of seeing Athiest.

This is supposedly Atheist's last Midwest show ever, and one of their last four or five period. The press release said Kelly's retiring the band forever after these last few shows.

I hadn't seen any Winters Bane dates in a long time, so I didn't think they toured much.

Yeah, but you also like to think about ****. I can prove it, I have the photographic evidence.

sif there's even a choice to be made. Atheist is a once in a lifetime chance!
