I've had time to familarize myself with the new material and its classic post-Perfect Symmetry stuff. One of the best of the year possibly. And Ray writing most of the lyrics is a nice change but Jim can hold his own. Very few new songs in the setlist. And Yet It Moves would be a great...

Looks like a ton of bands have cancelled going to this festival for whatever reason. Go on the Facebook page or the ticket order page to see.

I bet the setlist is just regular staples and a handful of new tracks. Firefly was played live last year couple with the new song debuted on the online this week, Into The Black. For uncommon old songs, I'd like to hear more from Perfect Symmetry like Arena or Static Acts. Seems they avoid...

Added a November show for Empire/Jaxx in Springfield, VA at the end of November. Last show they booked in 2009 was cancelled for unknown reasons. This was just before the Progpower show I believe where they headlined. Then January 2012, the idiot venue didn't allow Riot to play due to permits...

Todd Latorre has been chosen as the new singer in Nightwish. Right after the tour finishes he will begin recording on their next album Operation:imaginaerum II

Just saw the Rising West footage of some rarer classic Ryche songs and La Torre really nails it. About as spot on as you can get for Tate who was originally a Dickinson clone. Again, it amazes it took QR this long to find another singer since there are so many similar Dickinson/Tate clones...

The Rising West band project sounds interesting. We all know Todd La Torre can sing but will he stick around long enough to get heard on an album? He's casting this in the light as being a side project, but other voices active in the QR camp say its a serious band. The could move on without La...

Damn, at least a couple more years I'm thinking at least. Kinda sucks. I wonder where they'll play the DC/Virginia/MD area now that one of the local clubs (okay, its Jaxx in Springfield) here got bought out and had them booked for a gig in 2009 before Prog Power but it was postponed for...

Quite a soap opera trying to find a new singer for this band. She's adequate which is more I can say of a lot of replacement singers in goth metal bands today. New single was better than I expected, here's hoping the rest holds up.

I heard the single and it actually sounds pretty good. The sound is very heavy/modern-era Fates like X with some of OSI's Blood mix. John's voice doesn't really seem to distinguish itself from the music and just kind of gets lost. He seems to work better on slower tracks like Cheyenne from the...

Giving it a 3/5. Usual DT riffs. Kind of like a sped-up In The Name of God, the chorus sounds like the Root of Evil, and I hear some traces of 6 Degrees in Rudess' early keyboards. An overall solid song, but nothing too different from what they've already released. And the lyrics are somewhat...

Why don't they just call it Countdown to Disappointment. This could be a more accurate title for the next Megadeth album though.

Kevin Moore (of D-e-ram Theatre fame) has had great success on Kickstarter getting his latest album funded. If a guy of his relative obscure (outside of hardcore Prog circles that is) caliber can get something done, the sky's the limit.

Just call this album Q2K11. Kelly Gray. And Tate's ex-son-in-law guitarist that looks like he belongs in My Chemical Romance. No hope left for these guys.

Semi-updates on this: Joey Vera is almost done with bass tracks. According to his Facebook he was tracking the second long track last week. Aresti is all done with his guitar parts. And there won't be any touring for this according to the following interview...

Seems theres a rumor going around on the Dream Theater forum that the candidates included Marco Minneman and Peter Wildoer. The catch is Wildoer has admitted in an interview that he did not audition. Other names bandied about: Donati, Lang, and Mangini. But it really pokes all kinds of holes...

This album is amazing. I know, kind of late to the party but really had a some time this week to sit down and enjoy the entire thing. Probably the best original tech metal I've heard in quite awhile. The album works best when you're stressed out and this just about the case with any aggressive...
