Holy cow, this came out of left field. This is a titanic release....huge sound and songs. Nice to see an all-timer change things up a bit and push himself to do something a little different. Good year for me with JLT....his song on the last Star One album was one of the stand outs for me...

First off, the sole reason I bought this was for Kelly Sundown Carpenter. His is one of those voices I'll follow no matter what project he's on. He does not disappoint here...incredible vocals. I love his mix of the Jonny Lindqvist/ Urban Breed sound with his Jorn-like power and grit. The album...

I finally picked up this release...wow, I'm impressed. Probably the best Within Temptation/Kamelot release I've heard in quite a while. Definitely worth checking out.

http://bravewords.com/news/former-deicide-obituary-guitarist-ralph-santolla-passes-away Sad news. Looks like I'll be listening to my Millenium discs for the next couple of days in tribute.

Being a big fan of Uriah Heep, I was sad to see this news yesterday. Another rock legend passing....Trevor Bolder, Ray Manzarek....hopefully the "death in threes" cliche won't work this time.

I saw this on the Bravewords site.....very interesting! http://www.bravewords.com/news/178743

If you're looking to scratch a Deep Purple/Rainbow itch you may be having, you've got to check out "The Stranger Within" by Demon's Eye. You'd swear it was written by "The Man In Black" himself! Great stuff, and Doogie White is absolutely fantastic on vocals....he was born to sing this stuff...

I didn't think it would be possible, bit I actually enjoy this cd even more than "Space Metal". Of course, it's hard for me to find much fault with anything Arjen releases....I am a "fanboy". He always manages such an incredible sound with his music....does he ever produce stuff outside of his...

I just saw Richie Kotzen perform here in Tampa last night......man, can that guy rip it up! I know as far as bluesy rock is concerned, a big deal was made about guys like Johnny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, but for some reason, Kotzen has never broken through to mass appeal. It's too bad, 'cos...

Yeah, he wasn't a perfect fit with Maiden, and Wolfsbane wasn't for everyone, but dammit.....this guy has been releasing some of the BEST metal cds as a solo artist. From "Silicon Messiah" to his latest, "Promise And Terror", every cd is loaded with crushingly heavy riffs and some of the best...

Not much talk about this great cd.....anyone else dig it? I think Rick Altzi does a great job on vocals here, and I really like the aggressive nature of this disk. Some of it reminds me a lot of the newer Tarot cds......I'm glad Thunderstone strayed away from the Stratovarious formula and got...

My best bud recently transferred a handful of cassettes from my collection to cd (stuff I am generally having a difficult time finding on cd). It's fun going back and digging through bands and albums that you might not have listened to in a while....cool stuff! Anyhow, these were a few that I...

Was just listening to the Devin Townsend Project cd "Addicted", and I can't get over how fun this song is. I love it when a fun, dance-y, pop tune is married with a heavy production and sound (kinda like Nightwish "Wish I Had An Angel"). It's weirdly fun to bang your head to a dance beat. Great...

If you haven't heard these guys and you're a fan of Talisman and Whitesnake, you've got to check out this cd. Absolutely fantastic! I loved their other two cds, but this one seems to take their formula and boost it a few notches. This is top-o'-the-line AOR/ hard rock music.:rock:

.....have you checked out Nightshade? This band has the singer, guitarist, and bassist from Q5 and their new cd "Stand And Be True" is really good. It reminds me a lot of Saxon mashed together with some old Krokus.....there is a HEAVY NWOBHM vibe going on here. Except for one song that I can...

This was the second time I've seen Nightwish in concert. The first was at PPIV, which was mind-blowing. After seeing them again Sunday night, I have to say that they haven't lost a step. Sure, they don't have the opera vocals anymore, but Anette was excellent. She sounded great and had a nice...

.....and holy crap did they tear it up! I never had the chance to see Metal Church with David Wayne or Mike Howe, but seeing Ronny Munroe more than makes up for it. He is an outstanding frontman. I swear that he was channeling Wayne when he sang tunes from the first two albums. Along with...

Welcome back Mr. Schenker! I hope that he's successfull in keeping his life on track, 'cos the man can still play guitar. He and Gary Barden have written a really good rock cd with this release. Yeah, the production isn't the best (kinda sounds like it's done in someone's garage), but the songs...
