Here's the debut video from Soen .. the brainchild of Martin Lopez (Ex Opeth drums) & Steve DiGiorgio. It's got a heavy Tool feel to it, but also as a lot of that Opeth Damnation sound. It also reminds of the Polish prog bands .. Votum, Riverside, etc. I think the debut disc entitled...

A couple years ago I did a 1997-2007 best of .. thought it was about time to update that. So here ya go .. my top 15 of the decade, along with some thoughts. Feel free to add you own lists, rip this one .. whatever. #1 Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black (2000) - Nevermore's most...

Zod posted this in another thread and it seemed like it make for a good topic of it's own. I kind of agree .. there have been very few traditional prog releases that I would consider to be great during that (2005-2009) period. Originally Posted by General Zod Looking back on it...

That was an entertaining fight this evening ... very, very close one. For those that don't know Mikkel Kessler hails from Denmark and enters the ring to A Warrior's Call by Volbeat. They wrote it for "The Viking Warrior". I would say who won this fight, but I don't want to ruin it for anyone who...

I've been listening to "Invisible" a lot of late .. it's clearly my favorite Nightingale disc. I think from terrific beginning to excellent finale it is the best Nightingale work to date. I think it flows better than any of the other Nightingale discs, and is incredibly catchy. I also think...

Centaur was a German progressive metal band who were around in the mid to late 90's. They put out a couple good discs .. for me mainly Perception, and The God Complex. They then just kind of disappeared around '98. The other day while checking out some music on LaLa.com I was shocked to...

Amorphis - Skyforger comes out in late May, but there is a new tune at their myspace page if anyone is interested. It's called Silver Bride. http://www.myspace.com/amorphis Britt

Mine was undoubtedly my Kuwahara BMX bike. It was 1982 I believe, and I was a 12 .. nearly 13 when my Dad bought it for me, and I still think of that bike every now and again. We went to check out the bike races outside of Peoria Illinois, and while strolling around I fell in love ... with...

Has anyone had a chance to hear this yet? I pretty much liked it straight away .. it's the best disc I've heard so far this year. It's a bit of a departure from the Nevermore stuff, but there are still several tracks that feel like they could fit on a Nevermore disc although in general this...

I thought with sponsorships happening this year some folks would step up, and help secure some awesome bands. It didn't happen, so I'm guessing sponsorship was low. I did not sponsor .. considered it, but didn't like the chances of seeing my money going toward a band I really wanted to see...

Report: Europe May Begin Fingerprinting Foreign Travelers The European Commission is set to propose tomorrow that all foreign travelers entering and exiting Europe, including American citizens, should be fingerprinted, the Washington Post reported Tuesday. If approved by the European...

A buddy of mine brought this website to my attention. You can basically create your own personal radio station/playlist with a few clicks. It can either be artist based, or genre based. Overall this thing is pretty cool, and the price is right (free). It's got a huge database of bands to...

Here's my top 25 .. with some general comments. Comments are definately welcomed. All in all a pretty good year in metal. 1 Amorphis – Silent Waters – Another great disc from Amorphis. Singer Tomi Joutsen makes his 2nd appearance with the band, and delivers once again. This...

I've heard some celtic flared metal/hard rock played a couple times during the broadcast. Does anyone know who that is ? It sounds somewhat familiar, but I really have no idea who it might be. Britt

I'll go with Amorphis - Silent Waters. If I recall right Travis Smith did this one. What do you guys/gals think is the best one of 2007?

Chris, Rob .. do I read the following to mean that we will be able to buy one pass that includes Pagan Fest, and the two days of Powerfest? Those that plan on attending all three days need not worry about ordering tickets on December 8 ... correct? I don't want to get shutout of Pagan Fest if...

Hmmm .. no Chicago dates yet, but if they schedule a stop it looks like could possibly conflict with Powerfest .. that is unless they are a part of the fest. I think Rob said no tours would be involved though .. ??? Maybe these guys will hit Mokena the night before Powerfest? Initial...

As some of you know Jason, Greg, Paula, and myself attended Wacken last month ... here's some links to our various reports. There is also currently a link above to these reports, but I figured since we frequent this board on occasion I would post this here as well. Jason's (Dark One) Wacken...
