Kamelot - Poetry for the Poisoned [Haven't properly listened but have heard mixed things]
DragonForce - Twilight Dementia [Listened on youtube and sounded great]
Joe Satriani - Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards
Firewind - Days of Defiance

And the new Angra should be on its way soon

Let me know how the Angra is. I heard Arising Thunder and was really disappointed, but I hope the rest of the album is good.

Bought the new Opeth dvd, Live at Albert Hall. Quite impressive.

Also bought 3 Rainbow remasters, for 4 euros each

 

[Kingface]

Ah, you've just reminded me that I got the Opeth Royal Albert Hall package through the post a week ago as well.

Haven't checked it out yet though.

[Symphony]

Haven't picked up anything for a while but I've come to the conclusion, as expected, that I won't be purchasing anything that remotely falls into folk/pirate or other "gimmicky" genres of metal. I just cannot see the appeal of this stuff, although I know a lot of people love it!

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

I'm not sure if folk is "gimmicky". Seems like a perfectly valid basis of influence. Pirate perhaps but then I think Running Wild stand on their own two feet as a good-sounding metal band regardless of their chosen theme/lyrical content and they preempted the Pirates of the Caribbean spawned pirate fad of recent times.

 

[Symphony]

Maybe I'm just getting old eh Dom? hahaha!

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

Nowt wrong with that Only as old as you feel, m'laddo. I daresay Running Wild have been knocking about for 35 years

 

[1928]

Just curious, Steve, have you listened to Alestorm? I assume you have, but if you haven't, it's at least worth checking out the song Keelhauled! May be gimmicky as hell, but it's a fun song!

 

[Symphony]

I'm actually good friends with Dani as I've known a couple of those guys since they were teenagers Yeah, showing my age again....lol!

Just bought the new Rhapsody of Fire - The Cold Embrace of Fear EP with a Frozen Tears of Angels poster and shirt for my girlfriend, too bad I just BARELY missed out on the signed copy of the EP! Ugh Oh well, I'll have to get my own copy eventually, even if the EP itself doesn't really stun me.
