2020 best of metal Haken - Virus: This was by far the most interesting album of the year for me. It was also Hakens most focused album. It was also their heaviest. This band has grown into a monster. Henshall is a great guitarist ala Petrucci of Govan Guthrie. This one was a hard decision...

I haven't seen much posted about this yet. The new Cellar Darling, "This Is The Sound" is a fantastic slab of metal. Great songs, great riffing, and of course great vocals! Anna sounds fantastic here. On a funnier note, my wife walked into the room a few minutes ago and asked me WTF I was...

I searched the forum and there has been almost no mention of Edensong or their brilliant new disc, "Years in the Garden of Years". I bought this one on a whim from lasercd after reading some good things about it, and WoW am I glad I did! It doesn't fall into the category of progressive metal...

I believe there was a thread where Glenn asked if we had discovered any new stuff since the roster announcement.... Well, my first delivery of PPUSA 2017 band cd's showed up today and I've been listening, trying to give everybody a fair shot before passing judgment. But, something different...

I saw that pre-orders are being accepted until August 1, but I can't find any other info. I want to pre-order 2 shirts but don't know where to do it. Help!!!!

When I heard that this was being re-issued with a live companion disc from ProgPowerUSA my initial feelings were..."Fuck Yes!!!" Remedy Lane was such a deep emotional disc that surrounded my head and heart with many different emotions that it became one of my favorite discs. To this day it...

With ProgPower almost 6 months away, I've recently gone back and reviewed the fest & the bands. I'm in the process of digesting some of the music I am unfamiliar with and forming some opinions. Which bands have you become more familiar with and which bands are on your "can't wait to see"...

I've been watching as the bands have been slowly named for Wednesday/Thursday and putting them in the order I'm most eager to see. I also wondered what everybody else thought, so here's mine... 1. Fates Warning 2. Circus Maximus 3. Ascendia 4. Haken 5. Vanishing Point 6. Freedom Call 7...

I thought I'd spend the day with old friends Jon Oliva and Paul O'Neil, just to see what the hold up on this disc was. Not much good to say about the disc. Sound wise, it's like a sterile, clean sounding Savatage. Not enough crunch and balls and not enough chance taking. It stays close to...

Well, what can I say? I hated this band. I bought all of the cd's, tried to get prepared for them at ProgPower, listened to them over and over...NOTHING! ProgPower comes, Voyager plays Wednesday night, I find myself singing along to a couple of songs...not many, mind you, but... So they...

To those who don't get Falconer...

I touched on this idea in the Guess the Roster thread and thought that it might make for a fun little game Choose the entire weekend lineup using only one group of bands starting with the letter "_" using the letter of your choice, but try to make it balanced and do-able for Glenn pricewise...

Some high quality old school metal

Does anybody have any inside information on the tour? I see that Fates is re-issuing Pleasant Shade of Grey in a 4 cd box and was kinda wondering if they are going to play the entire cd on tour at select dates, since the box set is part of the VIP package being offered. That would be fucking...

Haven't seen anything posted about this new release from Pantommind. I believe the review on lasercd.com said something about this cd being a "gamechanger" Whoever wrote the review was not kidding! Holy shit is this cd a major improvement! Its a solid slice of progmetal with some killer...

Well, after having a few months to fully digest the top cd lists of 2014 and take some time to revisit, a lot of things changed on my list. The top 2 are still the top 2, nothing came close to knocking them out of their slots on my list, but a few of the late 2014 releases charged way up the...

The 1st time you decided to come to ProgPowerUSA, what drew you in? I remember hearing Nightwish for the 1st time, bought 2 cd's at Media Play (Wishmaster & Century Child) and I was sitting in the car waiting for my wife to get out of Kohl's. Totally hooked on the band after a few spins!Later...
