Well, a couple months have passed and, after some further thought on the matter, here is a much more updated list ... 01. Eluveitie - Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion 02. Eternal Tears Of Sorrow - Children Of The Dark Waters 03. Amorphis - Skyforger 04. Suidakra - Crógacht 05. Nightrage -...

Well, I know it has been a while since I have posted here, however, I finally got around to picking up the new November's Doom album (at FYE, nonetheless, haha) and, wow, I am floored by it! - I am, admittedly, only familiar with The Novella Reservoir album outside of Into Night's Requeim...

So, if you had to choose ten of your all-time favorite bands/artist, who would they be? My selections are as follows, presented in alphabetical order: Arkenstone, David Bal-Sagoth Eternal Tears Of Sorrow Grave Digger Hansen, Kai Manowar McKennitt, Loreena Running Wild Sonata Arctica Therion :)

I don't buy vinyl at all, for better or for worse, haha :Saint: I used to work at an independent record store and, needless to say, vinyl was all the rage there, however, I never really caught on, since nearly everything I like, for one, isn't released on vinyl and, secondly, vinyl isn't as...

Haha, indeed! - I really long for more feedback and discussion here, that's for sure! :)

Thank you! - Enthrone would probably be my second choice, however, over the years, I have found myself playing Puritanical more than anything else in their catalog and, considering the progression they made from Spiritual to that album, well, it's quite phenomenal, I say! :)

Haha, yeah, I didn't really care for Gloria either, it was just a rather disappointing and dry affair all around, I say. Siebenbürgen - Loreia - Vittring Av Liv ... I love this album! :D

An excellent (and difficult, haha) thread my friend! :) My top ten would be something like this although, since I'm feeling too lazy to attempt to order the selections, haha, they're presented in alphabetical order: Arkenstone, David - Middle-Earth Bal-Sagoth - Battle Magic Dimmu Borgir -...

I actually do enjoy both of their following releases, especially Zero Nexus which, for me personally, is a very strong and unique record all around! :) At any rate, the direction is quite different indeed! As for Disillusion, I can only agree, Back To The Times Of Splendor is incredible! Do...

Agreed! Mr. DustyP - I know that, a few years ago anyway, The End Records had the EToS albums stocked, all of which were the official Spinefarm releases and, furthermore, for domestic prices; granted, I don't know of their current stock situation, however, for a couple dollars more than a...

Come on, I know Anesthetize and I aren't the only folks here who listen to music! :P Anyway ... Shade Empire - Sinthetic - Demonized ... although I don't quite know their situation in Finland, this band is, from what I have observed, criminally underrated! - gah, I love this song! :)

I haven't heard much Evanescence, however, what I did hear I, admittedly, didn't care for too much ... :erk: At the very least, it has been a while, perhaps I should revisit them ... Amoral - Show Your Colors - Year Of The Suckerpunch ... a lot of people, from what I gather, hate this...

I agree my friend, it is rather dismal, indeed; Eternal Tears Of Sorrow are one of the strongest Finnish metal bands to ever exist (hell, one of the finest metal bands to exist, regardless of geography, ever), easily, and yet the forum is so quiet and inactive ... :( It's a damn shame, I say! -...

I have been on a bit of her high with her material lately ... :) Enya - A Day Without Rain - Fallen Embers ... easily one of my favorite songs by her - pure magic!

... and before I am attacked, let me justify the creation of this rather infamous "now playing" thread; seeing as everyone here loves music, it's only natural to want to discuss music of all sorts amongst ourselves and, as such, why not have a thread such as this one as the precedent? At any...
