A band you MUST check out, if you haven't already: Denmark's Manticora. They're an awesome speed/power metal band, along the lines of Brainstorm, whose latest album Hyperion was based on the brilliant sci-fi novel of the same name. (No word on whether they'll write a sequel based on The Fall of Hyperion in the future.)

They have several mp3s, including one from Hyperion (the tale of Kassad! PWNAGE!) up at www.manticora.dk, under "Media." Totally worth checking out. Enjoy.

Oh, and people should read Hyperion by Dan Simmons, because it's really fucking good, and this is coming from someone who can't stand sci-fi and all the geeky technobabble.

ME TOO! And those books are amazing! go read it people!
(after all, I named my dog Shrike after the coolest character from there, right Pyrus?) :cool:

I will check that band later if you say they are that good ( I trust you!)
My parents are leaving tomorrow (*sniff*) so I’ll have more time online!!


Pyrus, I am so HAPPY you like Necrodeath! :rock:
It’s such an excellent band from Italy, that not a lot of people know, and
They simply rule! You are right! Max would dig them as well!!
(so will everybody)
Which album/s did you order from The End?

(pssst Fred: you must check them out as well!!)


OMFG!!!!@!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 so kewl and gr8 !!!!!!!!!!
 
Actually, I meant Max would probably like Manticora...but he's been all like "MORE THRASH, BITCHES!" lately, so maybe Necrodeath too.

I'm placing my order at the end today. Looks like:
Manticora - Hyperion
Brainstorm - Metus Mortiis
Sadus - DTP Demo 1986
Helstar - The Bruning Star
Sodom - M-16
OMFG NECRODEATH - Mater of All Evil, and maybe another one if I've got the cash.

Hah, you're right, Matt, holy shit. Mads used to love the fuck out of this band. And, uh, was it Pain of Salvation? I can't remember who else. I should get in touch with him and tell him he was right.

IoftheStorm - +10 for politics, -several million for dissing Manticora.
 
Since we are speaking about Necrodeath.....
I remembered I had this OLD picture on my computer from 2 years ago, after a cool dinner we had in Italy.

Pyrus: tell me when you get your CDs and of course, tell me what you think :cool:
