That's some exciting news, man. I'm glad to hear the juices are starting to flow again. I think we all understand that when it comes to matters of passion and creativity, you just have to do what you feel driven to do. Whatever shape that may take. And sometimes that means going dark for...

I guess in the end, good music is good music, regardless of the methods or means used to create it. Anything can be taken to an extreme. Including melodic vocals. Case in point: Falconer. Have any of you guys heard their album "Northwind?" It's the only album of their's that I've listened...

I think having a mix of both clean and growling vocals can make for a very interesting sound. I've heard music from a couple of bands that employ that approach, and have always enjoyed it. Most of the bands I listen to stick to clean vocals, as I generally just don't find growling to be...

Darkspyre is an excellent name. Quite nice. I'll check out the page. Do you intend to create the same kind of music on this project that Shadow Demon did, or are you going in a new direction?

Thanks, James! Those tracks should definately be included on an upcoming album of some kind. Both have a lot of good material. Thanks for giving us an early peek at some of what you're working on. Much appreciated.:kickass:

Damn, this is so depressing. You guys put out such kick-ass music, that to think you may never play together as a group again is just so... discouraging. I run across bands all the time that just flat-out suck. Even bands that are often considered big success stories, and have been around for...

Their albums can be hard to dig up. I have "Dragons of the North" and "Odin Owns Ye All," but am still trying to get hold of others like "Norwegian Native Art" and "Blot."

Man, hearing you guys talk about all these groups just reminds me of Einherjer's sound. I still can't believe those guys split up. They were an incredible band.

Awesome write-up, Jeff. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of both the concerts and your vacation. It sounds like the shows were a blast. Wish I could have attended.

Man, Pandora is pretty damn cool! I love how they talk about analyzing the individual traits of each song, and then matching you with music they think you'll find interesting. I set up a station on their site, and so far, every song they've suggested has been dead-on. I'm working on creating...

That website sounds like a pretty cool set-up. I think I'll check it out.

I recently came by a little cash and was finally able to get myself one of those new-fangled MP3 players all the kids are be-boppin' to these days. I picked up the 80GB Zune, mainly because of the bigger screen, Wi-Fi sync capabilities, and FM tuner that the iPods lack. 80 gigs, you ask...

Wait a sec! Barlow's back? Since when? I didn't hear anything about this. I've always preferred his vocals for Iced Earth. Is he back for good, or just temporarily?

Well, I managed to catch a showing of The Forbidden Kingdom on Sunday morning. I must say, while it was a very good movie, it didn't turn out to be quite what I expected. It's a very family-friendly flick, and while it does entertain serious moods at times, it never goes so far as to actually...

Actually, Chan's flair for intermingling comedy with his action is one of the things that most attracts me to his movies. Plus, I also enjoy how he often plays an "every-man" who can get his butt kicked nearly as often as he kicks other people's butts. A good example of this was in Rumble In...
