I took it easy this year. It might have something to do with the 10+ CDs I bought a week earlier.

Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus
Anathema - Hindsight
Circus Maximus - Isolate
Swallow the Sun - Plague of Butterflies
Riverside - Schizophrenic Prayer
Morglbl - Grötesk, Toons Tunes From the Past
Fates Warning - Disconnected/Inside Out (dual release - all for a couple of unreleased demos)
Y&T - Earthshaker, Black Tiger, Mean Streak (pure nostalgia)
 
For starters, thanks to SkiBumMSP and kellsco for picking up some Katagory V CDs! The rest of you should be ashamed!

Anywho, here's what I picked up:

Adramelch--Broken History
Beyond Twilight--The Devil's Hall Of Fame
Beyond Twilight--Section X
Beyond Twilight--For The Love Of Art And The Making
Blotted Science--The Machinations Of Dementia
Conception--Flow (Japanese version. I already owned the European one, but I'm a sucker for bonus tracks!)
Kamelot--One Cold Winter's Night (CD)
Kamelot--Ghost Opera: The Second Coming (I never owned the original)
Lydian Sea--Invisible Reign
Sun Caged--Artemisia
Twilight--Eye For An Eye
2 copies of the ProgPower VII DVD (gifts for my friends back home)
2 copies of the ProgPower VIII DVD (one for me, one for Bavmorda's drummer)
Circle II Circle T-shirt
Helloween T-shirt
Andromeda T-shirt

My only regrets are not picking up the new Communic while the vendors still had it and not going to the Laser's Edge first (as one of my cohorts found what I believe to be the only copy of Elegy's "Lost" in the entire room!).


Stay metal. Never rust.

What's this? Any relation to the Aina - Days of Rising Doom project?

Apparently not. There is also a Norwegian rock singer that goes by the name of Aina, that put out that Living in a Boys World album. Had me intrigued as I thought the Aina Days of Rising Doom album was friggan awesome, and was thinking, damn, they have another one out and how could I've missed it! However, I've never heard any of Aina's (the singer) work, thus I have no idea how he sounds.
 
For starters, thanks to SkiBumMSP and kellsco for picking up some Katagory V CDs! The rest of you should be ashamed!

Haven't had a chance to listen to them yet, though. I was just dying to hear what that Xystus album was going to be like on my home system, so that was the first one to hit the CD player when I got home, and needless to say, I was blown away with what I heard. The Amaseffer album is also amazing. I am looking forward to spinning these Katagory V CDs though.

Andromeda - The Immunity Zone (It is growing on me.)
Power Quest - Master Of Illusions (Kinda cheesy. Music would fit in well with anime soundtracks. A couple of pretty good songs on here.)
Jennifer Batten - Above Below and Beyond (Like Satriani, she should take the advice of Alex Lifeson's wife and shut up and play the guitar.)
Pamela Moore - Stories From A Blue Room (Nothing great here. Only worth getting if you are interested in hearing what Pamela sounds like on her own.)
Myrath - Hope (Really good stuff. A middle eastern band that doesn't wear its heritage on its sleeve, so don't expect Orphaned Land.)
Virus IV - Dark Sun (Not as good as Beautiful Sin. I need more time with it.)
Cruachan - The Morrigan's Call
Falconer - Among Beggars And Thieves
Mustasch - S/T
Xystus - Quilibrio: A Rock Opera
