New to the board, new fan!

[Surreal]

Greetings!

I'm Surreal. I just found this board yesterday. Actually, I was only recently introduced to Evergrey this month.

In the past year or so, I've been introduced to a lot of new Prog and Metal. Bands like Symphony X, Soilwork and Evergrey have quickly become some of my favorites. When I first listened to In Search Of Truth I knew I had better listen to all they've done.

Great music, great vocals! I'm a vocalist myself, a female prog. singer, and I can be picky on what I listen to based on the vocals. I've heard bands where the "singer" screams through everything. I really don't enjoy that.

I do, however, enjoy Evergrey very much. I look forward to getting to know other fans. I hope you're nice to newbies!

well ... hi

I am not new at the UM-board, but new into this forum, I bought my first Evergrey-CD today ("In Search Of Truth"), and it is cool, but I just listen to it the first time, so I can't really say anything about it ...

But I will ... later

Thanks btw @ Gaunerin, who told me that Evergrey are a great band, without her I wouldn't have bought the CD

Bye,
Corny

 

[Gaunerin]

You're more than welcome, Corny. I'm always willing to spread the word for bands I like

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Welcome Surreal. I too love Evergrey, Symphony X and Soilwork... and prog rock/metal!

 

[Surreal]

So nice to newbies!

Thanks for the great welcome. Thank you, shadowland, for the offer. I'd love to see those pictures!

I've always been a music fan, anything from Yanni to 80's hair bands to Type O Negative. I think I started getting into prog. more when I got into Dream Theater. Freakin' HUGE fan. I do, however, like my prog. a with a little more "iron" in it's blood. I've been listening to Evergrey and Soilwork quite a bit lately. "Natural Born Chaos" is really good. I never really got into them, mabie a few songs. Again, the vocal thing. I like to sing with what I listen to.

Hi there,

A mate gave me the album In Search of Truth and I just cannot put that album down. I have become a fan after one album and 2 days !

I actually believe it is one of the best concept albums I have heard in a long time. I loved the storyline about the abduction and the lyrics and the writing are just awesome !!

And I just wanted to share that with you lot, I just love Rulers of the Mind it is just so beautifull to listen to.

I have a ton of other albums to listen to, but I am telling you this album just grows on you everytime.

I would love to see these guys live.

 

[Metal_Thailand]

oh and just very quickly,

I can't seem to figure out the ending of the track of Misled. When the people in white come, are they people from a mental institution (because they don't believe his story) or are they government officials in white protective clothing.

I would love to know, coz I just can't figure it out.

Immersive Stories, I love them.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Welcome, Metal Thailand! "Rulers Of The Mind" is indeed awesome!

 

[Metal_Thailand]

There is something about that track that just simply exudes something I have not felt in a long time.

Maybe it is the lyrics or just that stunning chorus which really grabs you.

Thank God for EverGrey.

But other bands I like which are similar are Queensryche (Operation MindCrime) and Dream Theatre (Scenes of a Memory).


Strong story lines and awesome lyrics and musicianship really grab me.

Hello Surreal...

I consider myself a progressive rock vocalist as well, more of a Savatage(Zak Stevens)/Dan Swano basis than those tenors such as Russell Allen of Symphony X, and I'd love to hear some of your material! I'm a huge fan of Lana Lane and Evergrey's Carina Kjellberg...

My email is Aethernal@hotmail.com, send me a message sometime soon! We can perhaps trade some .wav files.

Welcome to the board!

 

[Surreal]

Believe it or not, I don't have any "real" recordings of myself... only stuff from local shows/talent stuff. I'll see if I can get those on my computer some time. I'm just a little tired today. Saw Rush's opening night for their tour last night!!!

I think the guys in white coats might be asylum keepers....
