    Pyramaze - Disciples of the Sun

    Well this certainly came as a surprise. It's great to see that they managed to finish a new album. Also nice to see the official website got a long overdue facelift and update. It's a bit unfortunate that there was no "official announcement" from one of the guys here on the forum, but I guess...

    Any news?

    What? I thought Urban was the new singer? What happened? Did he grow tired of waiting, too? :p Another collaboration with Matt would be awesome but I don't see it happening. I hope he's busy writing new material for AoA :)

    Any news?

    Guys, I know you're all probably busy with your lives and everything, but the last news entry on the official website reads "27.11.2011 - Pyramaze announce new lineup and commence recording new album"... that's nearly 3 years old. Surely there's some news to give us? I don't know if there are...

    What are you listening to today?

    Hmm, I like the video more than I like the song. Lyrics and vocals are very "meh" to me. I'm gonna see them here in January, will see how it comes across live. I liked their previous album beter live than I did on CD as well...

    Pyramaze FB page

    I hate FB with a passion. I've never used it and never will.

    Matt Barlow's new band

    Well, I think Jon is a difficult man to work with, to say the least :) Where'd you find that song? You'd think they would put that stuff up on their website. It's not bad but nothing great, either. If it was anyone else on vocals I wouldn't care for it. I'll probably still buy their album...

    Matt Barlow's new band

    ASHES OF ARES So, this got me thinking... Back in 2003 or thereabouts, Matt says he's leaving Iced Earth to pursue a career in law enforcement, right? Then, in 2007 or so Pyramaze asks him if he wants to sing on their new album, and he says yes. Jon hears that Matt is back into the music...

    Lorenguard

    Yeah, on the EP it was obvious he was trying to copy Barlow. Which I didn't mind at the time as I was a huge Iced Earth fan. But I agree that on Veil he had matured and was developing his own style, although it is still very reminiscent of Barlow at times, but also very different at other...

    Same here. Robb said a couple weeks ago that he has new (unfinished) Winterfell material that he would like to finish at some point. So that's good news. Thing is, it's probably not gonna happen quite some time to come due to him being busy with other stuff. And of course, him not having any...

    And as long as I'm here recommending bands I might as well mention these guys. Beware, this is a long way off from Pyramaze's sound and not my usual taste but these guys really rock things up. Some of you may remember Blistered Earth, who put out one full-length album that played thrash metal...

    Ya know, I'm a bit surprised that this band hasn't been mentioned here on this forum 'cause I know there's at least one dude from the old Winterfell forums here (I'm looking at you, Iced_Dog), and I'd think you'd know that while Robb has put Winterfell on a hiatus (whether or not it's a...

    UltimateMetal.com would like to welcome Cage!

    Holy shit, why didn't I know there was a CAGE forum at UM? Is this even advertised anywhere on the official site? An CAGE forum has been sorely lacking. Too bad there doesn't seem to be much activity here...

    Iced Earth - Dystopia

    6 songs into the first listen of this album now and I have to agree with Iced Dog. I'm definitely not feeling this album. It's all very very "meh". It's not Stu's voice, I don't think I would have liked it much better with Matt on vocals. Oh well, hopefully they'll play a lot of older stuff...

    Iced Earth - Dystopia

    Gonna see 'em next Thursday, curious to hear how Stu will bring the older material. I'm actually quite confident that he'll do a good job on it. I caught them this summer with Barlow on tour and that was an awesome show, Matt absolutely nailed it from beginning to end. So yeah, it'll be...

    Iced Earth - Dystopia

    I don't understand Jon going on about how they couldn't do Dante's Inferno live in the past. They did it on AiA, and it sounded fine. Or am I missing something?
