    Is "Outcry" from new DT album "inspired" by a Seventh Wonder song?

    Hi. I don't know Seventh Wonder at all (except that) Tommy sang with Kamelot on a few songs and he was fantastic. But I was meaning to check them out, so I Googled them and found "Alley Cat". And immediately I went, "This is it. This song has so many parts that remind me of Outcry". The...

    Pyramaze announces new singer

    Wow, Nosferatu is awesome. Urban tends to add emotion and depth to even straightforward heavy metal songs; when I first listened to Matters of the Dark, I thought the guitars were pretty random (especially in Sword of Retribution) and flat. You listen to Urban sing a few times, get into the...

    Do you speak with an accent?

    Oh :err: Well, it's apparently just my brother, then. :grin:

    Do you speak with an accent?

    lol Aussie! My brother's in Sydney, and, as someone who spends the better part of his days doing 3D modeling and animation, spends a lot of time with Autodesk Maya. Which, of course, is "May-uh" there. (As opposed to "māyā" as in "Mayan civilization" or even the Sanskrit/Nepali word...

    Pyramaze announces new singer

    That's certainly been the case for me. And for some reason, King on "What Lies Beyond" sounds very familiar. Not unlike David Henriksson (Heel, ex-Insania) in Insania's "World of Ice", IMO. I'm going have to find a way to get old Pyramaze stuff. LotBc, maybe; where should I start?

    Any word on Gamma Ray?

    Ah, thanks. Found where I can get tickets; this is my first real show (I live in Nepal, so...), and I had no idea I'd have to get tickets so early! :P Still rather worried about the Gamma Ray website (or lack thereof).

    Official buying advice thread

    Yeah, some ESPs a little higher up look nice. The Gus-200, the KH-202 and the V-200, maybe. My current guitar has 3 single-coils, but moving on to humbuckers, would you guys recommend active or passive pickups? I'm leaning towards passive for the relative low-maintenance and the more unique...

    Any word on Gamma Ray?

    I know they're doing some touring, but their website being down (since quite a while back) has thrown me out of the loop. They do have a MySpace page but even with all the instincts of a web designer (or probably as a result of it), I simply cannot navigate that website. :zombie: Anyone...

    Taking Care of Your Hearing

    I'm definitely in the "moderation" camp, particularly because I'm now basically off listening to music on earphones/headphones. (And I'm a hobby musician!). I was diagnosed with Ménière's Syndrome sometime back, but before I knew, I had terrible episodes of vertigo -- attacks that make...

    Official buying advice thread

    I'm going to be flying internationally to the US for College and, since it would appear that getting a case and transporting my current guitar (which isn't fantastic, but works) all the way will cost ridiculous amounts, would like to buy a new one. :) I'll want to spend around $300 on it...

    The Official Movie Thread

    Yeah, got BladeRunner lined up; I tend to like the Scotts' movies. Glad to hear Wanted is good for what it is... now if could get my hands on Smart People, WALL-E and OSS 117. That would do it :P

    Gamma Ray - Spiritual Dictator (an excellent modern Painkiller).

    Pyramaze announces new singer

    For someone who recently discovered Pyramaze (admittedly because of Matt) and was just floored by Immortal and absolutely worshiped Urban's vocals in Tad Morose's 'Matters of the Dark' (and 'Anubis', because I've yet to get my hands on Modus Vivendi), this is FANTASTIC news! Best wishes to...
