The Sword Traditional, no-bullshit heavy metal act from Austin, Texas. Barael's Blade is the soundtrack to a stampede. And they're even better live...

I've been a bit estranged from the scene recently. With the exception of The Chasm and Winds, I haven't remained mindful of any potentially interesting releases. So my question, very simply is, did I miss anything during the past year or so?

I was recently listening to "V: The New Mythology Suite," and I felt compelled to contend just what an impeccable masterpiece it truly is. The record is flawless from start to finish, as is "The Odyssey." In my humble opinion, Symphony-X is currently one of the most interesting bands within the...

I intend to purchase this record on the release date. I greatly fancy the sample track, and I've been an fan of theirs for quite some time. Does anyone share a similar opinion? Oh yes, and if you wish to sample the track and inspect the artwork, click here.

I'm not sure if this has been done before, but I'm terribly bored and I have nothing more productive to do. Anyway, it's fairly self-explanatory. I'll begin by posting a quote from a film or television show, and the next person will have to determine its origin, and then post a new quote for...

I recently purchased this artist's debut release off of Relapse and I'm compelled to profess how great it is. I suspect that anybody who's a fan of black metal in any of its many facets could find something to enjoy about this record. The style is of the more symphonic variety, with touches of...

Before somebody vehemently incriminates me for discussing Rush on the metal forum, know that I am fully aware of which genre they belong in, and I posted it here because I believe there may be a few Rush fans who visit this forum frequently that would appreciate the information. If that still...

Recently, I decided to take the liberty of finally watching Donnie Darko, a film that has rapidly grown to become a cult-classic among independent film connoisseurs. I spotted it in Best Buy for a mere 10 dollars, rousing me to take a chance and purchase it, unaware that I would've been much...

Does anyone else realize the timeless genius and musical prowess that is Rush? They are by far my all-time favorite band, and to me, they've reached a point where they can do no wrong. In my opinion, there isn't a single band that has yet to match their original sound and creativity. Does anyone...

I just recently finished watching all 26 episodes on DVD, due to the pretty strong recommendation of a friend. I must say that although I was a bit skeptical during the first few episodes, I became more and more involved as the story developed, and now it's one of my favorite anime series of all...

Yes, I realize this has nothing to do with metal, but bear with me. I must vent. There have been several occasions where I've had the simple amusement of spotting a Ramones fan, and was even tempted to approach one but decided against it out of the fear of losing one too many braincells...

Well, Iron Maiden has neglected Florida once again....I'm kind-of disappointed, since I didn't get a chance to see them on the "Give Me Ed" tour, nor on the "Brave New World" tour, but oh well. I'm actually considering taking a trip to New York since I've never seen them live, but I guess I'll...

I thought it would be appropriate to mention this for those who aren't aware. I can't find the actual article with the details because it's buried underneath a pile of other news headlines in Blabbermouth.net, and quite frankly, I'm too lazy to rummage through them. Anyway, yes, Composer Michael...

I'm planning on purchasing it the day it's released...does anyone else love this band as much as I do? Oh and by the way, go here to see the cover artwork and to listen to the sample-song.

Okay, I just came home from the mall and decided to pop in this album I purchased to take a chance on a new band I hadn't heard anything from. The band is Antimatter, and the album is "Lights Out." Has anybody else heard this? I just finished listening to the entire album straight through and I...

Check out this website, I thought it was rather comical...The Metal Mockery Site

Another show I'm planning on attending...anyone else?

Anyone else attending?

Is it just me, or is this guy a fucking genius? For those of you unfamiliar with his work, he's the underrated writer/director of "Hard-Eight," "Boogie Nights," "Magnolia," and most recently, (former oxymoron coming up) the brilliant Adam Sandler movie, "Punch-Drunk Love." He's so good at...

I know this is a pretty useless thread, but I'm bored and I was just listening to "One Last Goodbye" by Anathema...man, that is one morbidly depressing tune, and yet hauntingly beautiful as well. The first time I heard it, it almost brought me to tears, and I'm not one to normally do that. I'd...
