Recommend the Owl some new metal!

[Snowy Owl]

Since Andrea and I have had our little "owlet" Lillian, I have not had the time to buy lots of new albums. The economy hasn't helped either. Due to that, I have been out of the loop!

Here are some albums I plan on picking up in the near future

Rush-Clockwork Angels
Anything by DarkWater
Anything by Triosphere
The new Threshold album

If there is anything else I should add to my wishlist, please tell me! Need some new metal to listen to around the nest. Thanks!

The new Delain is pretty awesome. You already scored the best album of the year, in my humble opinion (Clockwork Angels).

There are more, I know, but they aren't coming to mind right now for some reason. Maybe it's because I'm so close to the Nightwish gig so my mind is filled with Nightwish. But I'll try to come back to this a little later.

I like Delain alot and my daughter always tries to sing along with them in the car...same with the newest Within Temptation album and the song "Faster". Yet, my wife, God bless her, sometimes plays the same album in her car for days and it makes me tire of it!

Don't have the new Rush yet, but it is on my wish list!

The new WT wasn't bad at all, I must say. I know a lot of people give it grief but I like it a lot.

Oh, I like it...I just don't like how Sharon's voice has changed. It's a solid album though!

Snowy: I knew I was forgetting something! Another good album that came out this year is The Prog Collective. It's exactly how it sounds: all sorts of superstars from the prog-rock genre, both old and new, coming together to make an album of epic prog goodness!

I haven't been following them all to much lately, but a band I think that hits the bee's knees as far as metal goes is Tacere (http://www.myspace.com/tacere#!)

They are not at all well-heard-of, but I definitely think they have some potential. Also, I liked their previous singer Helena better, but the new(er) girl is not bad either.

Thanks for the recommendation, I will check that out.

This has been a pretty damn good year for music, I must say; now that I've gone through my playlist and see how many albums I have from just this year alone. And 2012 isn't over yet!
