Love the new album, but then I love them all. This one continues where the previous one left off, with aggressive (sometimes little thrashy) riffs. But paired a bit more symphonic keyboards. Well done.

Thanks Glenn

For those of you that have had the chance to see it so far, can you let me know when the band is hitting the stage? Is there an opening act (nothing on the web so I'm thinking this may be An Evening With type of show)? I have something before the show and I'm trying to see whether I can make it...

For those that are not familiar, the second band of Sonata Artica's Henrik Klinkenberg. To me, they are best described as a heavier version of Dream Theater's "Awake" - heavy crunchy prog, with shorter songs and tasteful shredding. "Announcing: New Silent Voices Album Details Unveiled...

Hilarious review on Amazon Sad and hilarious at the same time April 23, 2013 By DMR Format:Audio CD This record sounds exactly like what it is: - 6 week rush job to "be first" and release a record before the other guys. - an album almost entirely pre-written by one of the most bland rock...

Same here, good stuff. Besides Evergrey and Conception, I hear some Angel Dust too.

I've been rocking out to the new Soilwork a lot. This songs kicks ass.

I've had the pleasure of seeing Nightwish with all singers and Floor by far is the best. Holy crap, but she has it all: voice that does the old songs justice and takes the new songs to new heights, stage presence that neither Tarja or Annette had and charisma unlike the other two (she...

Is SyX always closing the shows? Or are they rotating between IE and SyX on which band closes the shows?

As someone already mentioned, their 'singles" are not a fair representation of their overall sound. Sure they showcase their melodic variety, but their non-singles tracks are a truer representation. Thirding the suggestion of Pandemonium, Spooked, Future World and Red Hot as fair...

The V is very good and he is somewhat back to form of excellent I and II. III was average and I thought IV was the weakest, but the new one is well done. probably helps that Stephan Lill of Vanden Plas is helping with songs again, plus production is very good as well. Ian is a great...

I just wanted to acknowledge and give props to Evergrey for always going above and beyond. They've been at PP a buncha times, yet always manage to do something creative with their set or for the fans. Some bands fuck around with their visas and some bands take the PP appearance seriously and...

Fuck yeah. This just sealed the deal for Santa Ana show for me! Congrats to Borealis and Intromental. New album rocks.

Me too, and he was absolutely killer that night. RIP Mac and thanks to Glenn for bringing them on. Love his voice.
