    Red Warlock Announce U.S. Tour

    Was really hoping that Jacksonville date was going to work out but it's a SOS deal as usual with the venue. It's alright, they deserve a bigger crowd in Tampa in any case.

    Yo, AeonicSlumber (or anyone else in the biz who might know)

    extremely interesting...... what's the new consensus now, if any, on how to successfully move units (physical or digital)? If this is the wide-growing trend. Pay-for-play on YouTube?

    To all four of the remaining Freedom Call fans..

    Wow, so I just want to note that my "claim" was really not hardly as pretentious as the reply. Gotta remember to step away from the C word and not offend the Sacred Cows Ov Metal. That label to me is not about what can be name dropped and impress everybody who sees musical taste as some kind...

    To all four of the remaining Freedom Call fans..

    First three are EXCELLENT albums... I maintain....especially the first two which I think are classics in the genre... I haven't listened to this, but I imagine it sounds like 'A Perfect Day' off the last album x10 in lameness.....no surprise, but sad all the same. I hate Edguy's hair/glam vomit...

    NIGHTWISH's Imaginaerum Now streaming

    New board design... next year's festival shirt?

    This S--t is not OK.

    We could use a few dozen good riots, provided the OWS's involved are the informed ones and not made up of all the hippies riding on the coattails who think a Bilderburg is a kind of german sausage.

    Females in Metal Book

    thank you Prog Please, it's good to know I can rely on the fact that someone will exercise critical thinking instead of me having to slog in here with a point-by-point. Unfortunately I'm going to have to anyway, just to illustrate that I shouldn't even have to defend something I say. Really...
