Nice! :D Although... Six songs that could be singles? Not sure how I feel about that. But I am looking forward to a music video!

POWERGLOVE! Saw them live with Symphony X and immediately got hooked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ev3VwmpBXyo&feature=related

The Flower Kings - Unfold the Future - "The Truth Will Set You Free". An artsy symphonic prog rock band led by the great Roine Stolt.

He is risen indeed! Alleluia! :worship: Happy Easter!

I'm not a Frost Like Ashes fan. Their lyrics are too much punishment and not enough love. I've been looking into Lengsel, though I haven't gotten any of their music yet.

Some of Blind Guardian's newer material has a Celtic feel. The best example is probably Curse My Name.

1 and 2: "The Serpent's Kiss" and "Twist of Fate", tied. 3: "Mirror of Souls". 4: "The Healing Hand". 5 and 6: "Laying the Demon to Rest" and "Theocracy", tied.

I really like listening to music in other languages, but more for aesthetic value. For example, even though most traditional black metal bands have most of their lyrics in Norwegian (on an unrelated note, one of my favorite languages to listen to), I still don't want to hear it. Because I still...

Don't worry. Antestor is my favorite black metal band, and one of the few CBM bands that are actually original and entertaining.

Immortal is okay; I'm not going to get into them because it makes me just a little bit too uncomfortable. Woods of Ypres, I might enjoy. I'm not a huge doom metal fan, but it can be pretty good sometimes. As a huge Rhapsody of Fire fan, I'm almost certainly going to try to listen to...

Yep, I know Van Canto alright. I love what they do (especially their covers), but I haven't obtained any of their music yet. Short on funds, and too long of a list of other music.

I think I heard that iTunes takes 30 cents out of every dollar, but I don't have a source to back that up.

Kind of off topic, but... You know, I wish it wasn't so hard to find good black metal bands that aren't anti-Christian. (Aside from "unblack", since most of that is unoriginal and dull.) The only one I've found and enjoy is Stormlord (I really like symphonic black metal), and even with them...

This list came out longer than I expected... Even without repeats. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insn%C3%A4rjd http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_Topographic_Oceans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Twist_in_the_Myth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Frozen_Tears_of_Angels...

Personally, I only reject a band if they regularly have directly anti-Jesus or pro-Satan lyrics. For example, I used to listen to Slayer and Mercyful Fate regularly, until I wised up. On the other hand, if a band just has one or two songs that seem like that (like Iron Maiden's "Starblind", or...
