- Doomsword - Resound the Horn.

- ShadowSide - Theatre of Shadows - great brazilian power metal. The female singer, nothing like the Nightwish or Arch Enemy sound but a singer with so much power.


next week....new Shaman and Alestorm
Let me know how the Avantasia CD is. I'm hearing lots of differing opinions, the little I've heard it hasn't been bad - just different from the Edguy stuff.

Is the Alestorm getting a domestic release or does Haven have imports also? I'm really interested in picking that CD up.

The Avantasia disc is decent. Not like the first two. Those had very catchy anthem type songs on it. This disc is more mature I guess. The songs are good but almost seems like Toby is doing too much writing and everything is not as good as it once was.

The Alestorm is the domestic release....finally. I am excited about this disc. Napalm Records has some great stuff coming out...like the Helhiem disc!!!!

I dig it - never really paid much attention to the band in the past. Great melodic, Priest-inspired metal, but everyone pretty much knows that by now.

This one has received nothing but great reviews, so I figured I'd try it out. Awesome vocals and melodies.
