    VANISHING POINT: Dead Elysium

    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.

    Nightwish Decades tour question

    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...

    New Silent Voices is coming

    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...

    The Laser's Edge's description of the Tate-Ryche album...

    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...

    Who should front NW now?

    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...

    A few thoughts after watching the Symphony X / Iced Earth tour kickoff...

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

    Pretty Maids!!!!! You all better be there so Glenn can keep booking these bands!!

    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...

    IAN PARRY- Consortium Project V!

    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...

    Evergrey Festival Info (Good news)

    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...

    Amorphis - The Beginning of Times

    I loved all Tommy releases but this new one is their best. melodies are even more melodic, agression is still there, variety and all in all, just think it's the best one. Skyforger was in my top 5 too and this is better IMHO. I'm just amazed at both at their productivity and quality since...

    New Borealis

    Really digging this. These guys are pretty talented and Fall from grace is one awesome release. I hear some Evergrey, some Angel Dust and some newer heavier Symphony X but with their own melodies and interpretations. Hope to see them on tour soon in NA.

    U.D.O.

    UDO's releases have all been very consistent. Some are little better than others but there aren't any real duds. Pretty much obn every release you'll find few solid tracks. His best release IMHO is Timebomb. It's UDO's version of Painkiller - his heaviest by far. Faceless World, Solid and...

    Any questions for LABYRINTH?!?

    Few ideas: -a bit more about how the reunion happened? Who made initial contact, etc... -Why aren't the original basist and the drummer part of the band now? -What's the status of Vision Divine? -Will they ever work with an outside producer (again)? (love the band but their production...
