    What Are You Listening To At The Moment?

    ... and before I am attacked, let me justify the creation of this rather infamous "now playing" thread; seeing as everyone here loves music, it's only natural to want to discuss music of all sorts amongst ourselves and, as such, why not have a thread such as this one as the precedent? At any...

    Without being too much a nub ...

    ... I was looking for some November's Doom recommendations; I have The Novella Reservoir and thoroughly enjoy it from beginning to end and, seeing as there are a number of albums under the band's belt, any recommendations for in-print albums would be awesome! :) By the way, and completely...

    Non-EToS Related Threads

    ... are they allowed here? I know some individual band forums allow discussion about that particular band whilst others, on the other hand, allow more or less anything and everything - how about here? Personally speaking, I'd like to see some non-EToS related threads just to, perhaps, get more...

    Kind of a goofy question, but ...

    Well, I guess before I get to my random question, I have to clarify which edition of Children Of The Dark Waters I have and, as such, I have the digipak released on Massacre Records and, for those that have this version too, here it goes! - when you open up the first "panel" (the cover), you see...

    Deciding Factors to go to ProgPower

    I'm just curious to see what everyone's decision process is concerning the attendence of ProgPower? Do you go simply to go, because you love the event and people? Do you go because of certain bands? For me, for now on, I am going to base my decision off of the bands playing. If two bands I...

    Greatest Memory from PPV

    What is everyone's greatest memory from this year's ProgPower? Was it the bands? A certain band? An experience? For me I'd say the greatest memory of this year's ProgPower was when my best friend, Mark, a non-Folk Metal guy stood with me to watch Wuthering Heights and then bought both To...
