Mark's still around. I've known Mark for few years and we've become good friends, so when he was looking to hand the site over he asked me, and I accepted Can't let 'ol UM.com tank out!
college? ah, uni(versity). finished high school last year but won't be going to uni for another 1-3 years depending on how apprentiship works out. *was thinking 'high school' not 'college' when you said "school age"*
I wouldn't call SymX power metal really... they're too amazing for that label Power Metal here and there but more so Symphonic Prog Metal... very musical band, killer vocals. Everything. Definitely differ from Antimatter though, just a little haha.
hehe. ^_^ oh, it's chantelle btw. I will have to check out this symphX then. I like some parts of power metal but usually the cheesiness gets to me. here's hoping they have all the right parts then. what albums are worth listening to?
