So, not a headliner this year, but there's always IX and X and into the future! I took a trip out to the rekkid store today and came back with LOTF 2 (and Annihilator's Metal). I'm about halfway through LOTF 2 and so far it is definitely some slammin' power metal with all the building blocks you'd expect out of one of the genre's most authoritative groups. Looking forward to rocking out to this repeatedly for the rest of the week. Definitely thumbs up so far. You?
