    Pentakill - awesome "league of Legends" inspired metal!

    I came across this interesting piece on GameSpot a couple of weeks ago. I've never really played League of Legends myself, but I was very interested in at least checking this Pentakill outfit out and see how they sound. I was a little skeptical if this is going to be some crappy sounding...

    CETi - Perfecto Mundo

    Have any of you guys heard of this Polish epic, symphonic power/progressive metal band? I found this Perfecto Mundo album on Mindawn.com and was completely blown away by it. I ended up downloading a FLAC version and burning a CD from it to listen to on my rig. I also grabbed their Shadow...

    Human Life in Motion - my first impressions!

    Okay, although the album is not supposed to be "officially" released until May 3rd, but I ended up buying a digital copy from Mindawn (in FLAC) and burned it to CD so I can give it a proper listen on my big Klipsch rig (RF-7s with B&K components) How I even found this thing? While listening to...

    Just when I through skiing wasn't bad ass enough!

    I've been away from here for a while as I was busy as hell, plus I've been away on a couple of ski trips out west - the first one to Park City, UT and the second one to Jackson Hole, WY. Anyway, go figure that over at The Canyons in Utah, I find a ski run called "Heavy Metal". Naturally, I...

    Whoa!!!!! What happened to the Forum!!

    Wow, the forum did a switcheroo on me again like the last time! Well, we are now officially on ProgPower XII mode for the next year :muahaha: Pretty damn cool, although I kinda liked the blue background of the last iteration better, though. It was easier for me to read.

    Whoa! The forum just suddenly changed!

    That was wild! I was just reading the thread about the loss of Greg Allard and the forum still had the old red/rust theme, only to go into a thread about Porcupine Tree's photo policy to see the forum suddenly change to this new teal green look. I actually like it better than that old...

    D.S.O! WOW!!!

    Am I not the only one that was utterly blown away by that set??? This was the one band that I thought I was going to like the least, but still was going to give them a chance, as I kept hearing about how awesome their stage show was. I figured I'll hold by my personal rule that I'll go in and...

    Here is another sweet little gem I found on eMusic! Adamantra - For Ever: This is a Power/progressive outfit out of Finland. This is just their debut EP as they don't have a full album out yet (although one it supposedly coming out. In addition to the tracks on the EP, they just made...

    ARYA

    I was just playing around on GarageBand.com, more due to being bored than anything, plus to see if I can dig up anything of any interest to me. I found this interesting little band called ARYA on there. This outfit out of Toronto has a pretty heavy groove to it, but very melodic. The lead...

    BAR Fest was AWESOME!

    I had an awesome time at BAR Fest and want to thank everyone there, staff, bands, and fans for the most kick-ass time. The show went together beautifully. Admittedly, I was a little skeptical, this being a "first effort" and was afraid it was all going to turn into one giant cluster-fuck...

    Odin's Court in SF and I was THERE!

    Was friggan sweet to see Odin's Court performing in friggan San Francisco of all places! To bad I did not realize they started earlier than the ticket said otherwise, thus I, unfortunately, missed a good part of their set, but, I did managed to get a few shots of this glorious moment, though...

    Best way to get from airport to hotel

    Is there public transportation from the airport to the downtown hotels? If not how much does a cab typically cost? My Thursday evening flight does not arrive until like 11PM (I have to leave from work, so I could not take an earlier flight).

    Blind Guardian at Jaxx was AWESOME!

    That was a totally kick ass show tonight at Jaxx! Both Blind Guardian and Leave's Eyes did indeed deliver, although Leave's Eyes did run into some technical problems during thier set. I happen to run across one of the band members in the bathroom after the show and made a comment that I...

    Beyon Twilight - For the Love of Art and the Making

    Just curious (don't know if this has been brought up before as the search funtion is about as useful as a screen door in a submarine). Does anybody have this or at least listened to it? I got it currently spinning in my CD player, and I have to admit - this has probably gotta be one of the...

    Nuclear Blast on eMusic!

    Just tonight I was playing around on eMusic (especially as my 90 downloads per month renewed just this past week). I noticed Nuclear Blast seemed to be releasing quite a bit of thier catalog on there! This is just an example of what I saw/got on there as a result: Blind Guardian - A...

    Well, this is intersting.....

    As much as I slam on AOL, but I gotta admit, this is pretty damn cool! Since AOL has opened up alot of thier content for free, and I had an old AIM account that I have not used in ages, I figured I'd try this AOL Radio out. I still cannot believe that I actually remembered my password as it...
