At this point my list is only progressive metal. I've been keeping careful track of that ranking and haven't thought on where I'd slot in my power metal records, and also Brant Bjork's solo album. Woo! Hemina-Nebulae (Best album I've heard in 4 years) Bigelf-Into The Maelstrom (They had that...

Figured I'd bump this thread. Picked up this album at the merch table. I had heard it way back when I got the promo copy, but it's good enough that I needed the physical album. Absolutely stellar material. Anyone else heard this yet?

Perhaps FFM could stop marketing tits and the corset as the first thing you know about a band, if they want the general public to see them as more than such. Looking at you Skylark. Not that it would help, Skylark blows. (Disclaimer: that's by no means meant to apply to every FFM band, I know...

Working on my review now, this is a seriously cool rerelease though. I think the most noted improvements for me are on Sinner and Serpent's Kiss, though Healing Hand has taken on new life for me too.

I write for a site dedicated entirely to the purpose of keeping people updated on the latest melodic metal (Which encompasses the three subgenres you just mentioned) as well as doing extensive reviews of the discographies of more famous bands. www.blackwindmetal.com We had the first review of...

I can't confess to have ever heard Kevin DeYoung preach, despite literally being able to look out my window and see the church he preaches at, but that spawns a lot for my absolute disgust with the TULIP theology that was present when I used to attend the campus ministry that was sponsored by...

Timo Tolkki was always into very personal revelation mysticism, hated organized religion, I believe he referred to the diety he believed in as "Mother Gaia", Jens Johansson has always been anti-theist in general, and Timo Kotipelto I think just wrote about what interested him.

I'm hoping for some remixing and remastering, production is usually a good thing.

I think you'd be shocked by a lot of what Paul writes in the NT. I agree, men and women shouldn't be looked down on for their hair just by nature of it being "Wrong", but keep in mind that your appearance is a reflection of God.

Speaking from experience, that's a really difficult thing to do. I got lucky enough to be recruited in with a site on the rise, and so promos aren't a problem for us anymore, but that's because we put a dedicated focus in finding good writers. Sometimes your best bet is to get involved with an...
