In New Zealand I think it's Nevermore but mainly because they are stocked at a near domestic price. I consider Helloween to be the founders of the euro power tradition. Iron Maiden aren't power metal but the greatest trad metal band ever imo and have had a big influence on the power scene...

Last book read was Mr. X by Peter Straub. Brilliant mix of mystery and horror, lots of Lovecraft about it.(even though I have never read any Lovecraft it's quite obvious) ;) Currently reading Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. I did read it about 10 years ago. Not far in, has a great...

Thanks for info, Cooperman. Good to see Sanctuary pulling finger at last then ;) Btw, I don't see many(any?) Sanctuary releases getting a release here which is quite annoying given that they are trying to buy up every act in sight it seems. Hopefully they will change the no releases in NZ thing...

Man, it's about time I saw a decent show here! Was getting sick of acts like Purple and Cooper fucking us. :) Anyone else in NZ going to this?? Got my ticket yesterday. The Power Station is a small venue but the sound should be great. I still need to get the new album. Megadeth have now become...

Steel Prophet - Messiah is incredible. The one-two punch of Ides of March(their own) and Messiah kicking things off is sublime metal :) Agree on the awesome cover of The Apparition. You should hear them do Simple Minds - Don't You(Forget About Me), fantastic update! Very under-rated band...

1982 - '88 is my fave period. It's a tie between Powerslave and Seventh Son for me. If anyone wants to hear that Piece of Mind/Powerslave sound again they must hear WOLF, great Swedish band who sound retro but still fresh and give it mean and dirty. A grower for me but love 'em now. have...

I just use this page ---->>> http://music.mirkwood.net and the judgements of people whose tastes match mine most of the time. Just based on metal. Basically my home online since 1999. I also look at lots of reviews online. Magazines suck. I have been buying blind for a long time and have a...

www.calldownthethunder.com Alta Mira very friendly, personable, good service and fast, bit expensive on euro items www.CDnow.com good for mixing non-metal and metal and selection is huge. Good prices for older stuff which is important to me. Different shipping centres suck however. Odd how...

Yeah, Metalhead was killer but maybe some more speedy numbers would be good on KG. As for live shows, don't think they can make it down here. Think they came to NZ in 1990. I didn't even know and I was a fan then:( NP:Overkill - Bloodletting
