    Inexpensive recording equipment?

    My recording setup right now is my keyboard connected to the line-in port in my computer. Free and easy-to-use, yes, but the recording quality sounds like it was done in a cave. Can anyone recommend some recording equipment that could be used in tandem with my computer; something that would...

    Do you buy too many CD's?

    I do. It's not my fault, though. Metal and prog-rock is in a renaissance period right now.

    Any good prog/power/neo-classical style metal bands that I haven't heard?

    Stuff like Symphony X, y'know. I already know of Adagio, Time Requiem, DGM, etc. That's the kinda stuff I'm looking for. I'm not looking for straight prog ala Dream Theater, and also no crazy neo-classical shredfests like Yngwie. No pure power metal, either. Something that combines all...

    Anyone heard the new Time Requiem?

    I just got the album today ("The Inner Circle Of Reality"), and I must say I'm impressed. It's at least as good as the first one (which I also hold in high regard), and with time I may like it better. The composition is top-class, and the vocalist is great; and he even sounds like Russell more...

    Where do you people in bands actually find your members?

    I often wonder about this because I don't many people who are in bands, and nobody at all who's in anything progmetal-related, so how do you proggies get into bands?

    What was the last album that really owned you?

    I don't mean a typical owning, this had to be a SICKENINGLY HUGE OWNING. Your ass had to be 100% OWNED by the album. Edge Of Sanity - Crimson II Jesus Christ, what a musical masterpiece.

    The word-by-word story topic

    You know the drill, you add a word to the previous person's word, thus creating a story. I'm sure there's some eloquent term for this process that I'm not aware of. :P I'll start... Today

    The black metal topic

    We have a death metal topic, so damned if we don't have one for black metal. List your favorite black metal bands, be they symphonic black, true black, or avant-garde black. Or just talk about black metal, whatever. I'm partial to Naglfar (oh hell yeah!), Emperor, Old Man's Child, Borknagar...

    If you like Dimmu Borgir, check out Old Man's Child

    I think there are more than a few Dimmu fans here, so I figured I'd give this band a plug. (nevermind the silly name!) I happen to like OMC a lot more than Dimmu, actually, but that's just me. There are some free songs on mp3.com, in case you're interested...

    Albums you have rediscovered

    Symphony X - V hahaha bad pun Anyway, you people know that even the most beloved albums become stale and boring after a while. Put that album away for a while, though, and some time in the future you might find that you're readdicted to it. List albums that you've rediscovered. I've...

    2002 was way better than 2003

    2003 has had it's share of good albums, but 2002 had tons of killer releases by the likes of The Flower Kings, Spock's Beard, Symphony X, Vanden Plas, Superior, Missa Mercuria, Time Requiem, Arcturus, Opeth, Pagan's Mind, Borknagar, Shaman, Tomas Bodin, Porcupine Tree, Vintersorg... and that's...

    Band recommendation: Moonlyght

    They fall somewhere in between black metal, folk metal, and progressive metal. Their CD 'Progressive Darkness' is a masterpiece... Pristine production, intricate arrangements, catchy melodies, yadda yadda yadda. There are a couple of free Moonlyght songs on mp3.com; I particularly recommend...

    Threshold rocks!

    Awesome band, and their music is accessible enough to be played on the radio, if the radio execs weren't brainless idiots. I'm betting many people here would dig this band.
