    Who Isn't Ready for Anathema?

    Great catalog, great band, but we need at least one death/doom era song --- A Dying Wish would be fantastic!

    Favorite Falconer?

    The first 2 are musts - after that I prefer Northwinds, although as stated above, any of them with Mathias is righteous.

    Kick-Off Show: Saxon & Armored Saint join the roster (6/18 upate)

    saw Saxon about a year or so ago with Halcyon Way...they absolutely kicked ass live after all these years! If you are even a remote fan they are not to be missed. Fans of old know what I am talking about!

    Missed this when it was new, but holy...

    His album AFTER is a must...I would start there.

    METAL CHURCH Rejoined By Singer MIKE HOWE

    Howe era = Human Factor the best imo...BID a very close 2nd although it has my favorite song of theirs (Badlands), HITB is indeed hit and miss.

    PENTAGRAM US dates 2014

    Seen 'em once a few years back at the Empty Bottle in Chicago. Now they are coming to GR with Bang and BC? Oh yeah, this is a no-brainer!

    Rumoured King Diamond tour

    ^^^you need to revisit then. They are all good, but post Eye I would recommend Voodoo, Abigail 2, and Give Me Your Soul Please as highlights. Don't compare Abigail 2 to the first one though when listening...take it as a separate album because although very good it doesn't come close to Abigail...

    New Grave Digger

    that's the only time I seen 'em. But new Grave Digger is always an automatic buy for me, got 'em all...

    New Agalloch

    On 2nd play through now and loving it. These guys are masters of post-black soundscapes. Think Alcest or later era Drudkh. For those that complain about the "sameyness" of the vox than this style of music probably isn't for you. All the instruments and compositions are like that too, not just...

    New Heep!

    still on the must-see list! Been a fan since the late 70's and the last 2 albums have been great rockers. Outsider is a must-buy. Amazon lists release date as June 10 - can't wait!

    Opeth - New album due out in June

    Up to Heritage, Opeth is ALL great, 'nuf said. Heritage is a step down from "great" but still "good". As stated by many already, some of it is forgettable and that's why it's knocked down a peg. Kudos to Taotrac above: each album is distinct in their catalog: a feat few can achieve...
