    Steve Williams and PQ to retire at the end of 2023

    Hey Steve, Michael from the good ol' USA here. Long time no see, my friend. Sad news, but completely understandable. Been a diehard, loyal fan of Power Quest since I first them back in... I can't even remember. 2007? 2006? It was well before Master of Illusion came out, that's for sure, but...

    What made you sad today?

    I think we've all migrated to Facebook. It was a slow migration. :(

    What made you sad today?

    I would like to know as well, but I'm fine with not knowing since it seems to be rather contentious... seems like it was a very abrupt and unexpected departure/firing for whatever reason which is surprising since Gav has been here since the Blood Alliance sessions. Gonna miss him but the new...

    Merry Christmas one and all!

    Merry Christmas to you, Steve, the rest of the boys in Power Quest, and all the great people I've had the pleasure of chatting and becoming friends with over the years thanks to this forum. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and end the year on happy notes. What a great year this has been for...

    What made you sad today?

    Thanks Steve, I appreciate that. Trying to shake it off for the new year and start 2017 off in a proper mood :)

    What made you sad today?

    Thought things were going swimmingly with a girl I fell crazy hard for but the last few weeks have been a nightmare. Guess that's on me for letting myself get close. Now it's cold and gets dark early and I'm all alone. Nothing else has changed but it's hard to go back to just enjoying things by...

    Sonata Arctica - The Ninth Hour

    I don't know how Tony fucked up White Pearl, Black Oceans part 2 so badly. It's boring as hell, flat out. I'm all for respecting artistic vision, and I'm glad he wrote the song he wanted to, but what an utter disappointment. 10 minutes of him quietly crooning with not one catchy vocal melody in...

    Sonata Arctica - The Ninth Hour

    *takes a big swig of coffee* It'll take a few more listens to sink in and hopefully it will grow on me but this is the first Sonata Arctica album I've been disappointed by. Even the songs that try to have that soaring power metal vibe of old just meander with their melodies and fail to reach...

    Face the Raven EP - Thoughts

    Arrived! Man, Face The Raven sounds so much heavier blaring it from the physical CD. This is a driving tune! Ashley makes his presence known, that's for sure. GREAT singing, great riff, great everything! Love the lyrics! Coming Home nails that classic Power Quest vibe. Nice little nods to past...
