You listen to Rhapsody.

Bands that rock me lately–Demons & Wizards, Brainstorm, Dissection (though those new songs are fucking TERRIBLE), Forbidden, and Absu.

Rhapsody is not the one to worry about. I am STILL shitting in my underwear over the fact he thinks Francesco Fareri actually 1) writes music, and 2) it's worth hearing, and 3) he actually reccomends other people listen to it. Like holy fuck. How can someone be so shit? That is all, i am going to bed once i finish shitting myself and mailing the soiled pant'loons to he who enjoys Francesco Fareri.
 
Kamlot or Kamelot?
Never heard of Conception, but Kamelot is pure ownage. Fourth Legacy, Siege Perilous, and Karma are pure genious.

mispelled, sorry.
Conception is Roy Khan's (Kamelot's singer) previous band with Tore Ostby (ARK).

I like Kamelot, and Ark, and Conception is in all way superior to both bands. I missed the boat on them in the '90s, and only got into them after they broke up. Avoid the first disc - "The Last Sunset", which sounds like watery Yngwie - and go for any of the other three. Awesome stuff - prog metal that doesn't suck, isn't weedy, and has some crunch - and Kahn shows much more of his ability than in Kamelot, in a good way.
 
Lately for me-

Windir - Likeferd
Dissection - The Somberlain
Hate Forest - Battlefields (I cannot get the haunting Ukrainian folk songs out of my head)
Ulver - Blood Inside (Still trying to wrap my head around this band)
 
since people are saying whatever it is for them,

The first two Theatre of Tragedy Albums
Morgion-Solinari
Evoken-Quietus
Some Tristania

and the new Holy Moses album (some thrash in that doom)
