Picked up a few new things this week and last week.....
Elvenking - The Scythe = I waited for a long time for this disc...was I disappointed? a little. First off the folk stuff is pretty much gone. to me that was the selling point of the band. Secondly....WHY DO BANDS NEED TO HAVE TALKING LEAD INS TO SONGS!!!! I hate that shit. Still, this is the disc that non fans will like...it is a lot heavier than the other cd's..contrary to popular belief they have always had a heavy side and were never like a Rhapsody style band. I am sure this disc will grow on me...The Winters Wake did after a few listens. I just miss the folk. Still worth getting.
Derdain - New Era PT 2 "War of the Gods" = saw this on the shelf at Metal Haven...no one really had a clue what it sounded like. It is nice living 10 minutes away from the store so I went home and looked them up and I was back buying the disc. Super crazy fantasy power metal. Lots of keyboards and high pitched vocals and very catchy sing alongs. Generic as hell but this is what I like in power metal...not every band can be original. It was a nice little surprise.
INC (Indestructible Noise Command) - Razorback = bootleg of the first LP by these speed metal kings. great disc. for fans of old style speed metal..this is it. great songs with great guitar riffs and lousy album art! what coul dbe better?
Dekapitator - The Storm Before the Calm = I have put off getting this disc for about a month now...keep on seeing it. Today I picked it up and it is really good. Basically it is a new band playing that ole late 80's San Fran thrash style. It doesnt sound forced either. Really killer thrash. I think live these guys who be great.....HINT HINT HINT Rob. Only listened to a few songs so far...havent had time to listen to the whole thing due to listening to the new Elvenking.
picked up the new Winds last week....it was just OK. Nothing will beat the first disc.
next week I should have
new Helloween
Astral Doors
The Vision Bleak new CD/DVD....ex Empyrium, kind more gothic Therion.
anyone else get anything new????
