Yeah, the re-recording was released in 2004 and featured an excellent cover of King Diamond's "At The Graves".

I found my copy of Aberrations of the Mind at CD Inzane, early on Friday.

I was disappointed at not finding any Elvenking, though.

That's ironic, I just got the last two albums (The Scythe and The Winter Wake) in the mail today witha few other titles. I haven't had a chance to dive into them yet though. I wasn't a big fan of the album Wyrd, so it took some time for me to decide if I was going to get these other albums. But I figured I've give them another shot. I 'll be posting that haul in a few days...

Believe it or not, this is my 2nd favorite Scanner album. Most Scanner fans HATE this album, mostly due to the use of an elctrric kit (which is noticebale with the hi-hat and dcymbals), elctronic/industrial overtones and the female lead vocalist. But for some reason I really LOVE it. It is pretty different from the past recordings, and I really miss Leo's vocals, but for some reason, the songswritting on this album just rules. Almost Alien and Turn of the Tide are some of the better songs, but Sister Mary just kicks total ass.

Have you had a chance to listen to it a few times? What do you think of it?

Mekong Delta - Lurking Fear

I bought this because Leo (ex-Scanner) sings on this! I really like his vocal style... however, I'm not much of a Mekong Delta fan, but I had to get it f Leo was singing on it. that is strange you bought a Scanner album, and then a band that has Scanners ex-singer on it!

[Orfanos]

lol, the funny thing is that I bought "Scantropolis" after the new Mekong Delta album. And I haven't listened to it yet.

As for Mekong Delta, I thought that as you are a part of a band that plays technical metal, you would like them. I am a little surprised that you say that they are not your cup of tea.

Actually, I do like Mekong Delta, it is just that I have to be in certain mood to listen to their music. Like right now, I am listening to the new album while I am preparing dinner, and so far, I think it is one of the best albums yet (again, having Leo on vocals really helps!) but I can NOT listen to it at work or when I am busy/stressed, I feel like my head is going to explode!

Most of the time I think MK's music is absolute tech-metal genius, then there are times I have to turn it off and avoid it for a while because it is to chaotic and drives me crazy. I guess you could say that I have a love/hate relationship with this band.

That's true, it happens to me, too.
