[Cello]

Cheating and counting Devin's two releases as one, here'd be my top 10 in no particular order:

• Katatonia - Night is the New Day
• Redemption - Snowfall On Judgement Day
• Anubis Gate- Detached
• Devin Townsend - Project Ki + Addicted
• DGM - Frame
• Shadow Gallery - Digital Ghosts
• Exivious - Exivious
• Pathosray - Sunless Skies
• Killing Touch - One of a Kind
• Sons of Seasons - Gods of Vermin

And I'm prolly missing out on a lot. I wouldn't be able to pick between songs.

 

[noren]

Haven't heard of the two last ones in your list Cello. Tell me more!

 

[Cello]

Killing Touch is a sort of Italian power metal-ish kinda project, the album is a concept album about Stephen King's "The Dead Zone", quite well performed musically. I personally very much like the piano work on this particular album.
Sons of Seasons is the new (read: 2007, but I only discovered them recently personally )band by Oliver Palotai (formerly of Kamelot & Doro). It's prog, bordering on gothic, with a number of guest artists.

Sons of Seasons[/URL] is the new (read: 2007, but I only discovered them recently personally )band by Oliver Palotai (formerly of Kamelot & Doro). It's prog, bordering on gothic, with a number of guest artists.

And theis singer looks like John Oliva...

Okay. In no particular order:

Adagio - Archangels in black
Submission - Code of conspiracy
Animals as leaders - Animals as leaders
Daath - The concealers
Gorod - Process of a new decline

Notable mention goes to Redemption - Snowfall on judgement day. Except it's exactly the same record as Origins of ruin, which in effect was a better album. Still really love it though.

Best show: Hands down Hacride.
