Steel Prophet- Omniscient

[The_Q]

I apologize if this was discussed before but I couldnt find a thread. This album IMO is just plain awesome and was well worth the wait. I was curious about others opinions.

Is Rick Mythiasin still singing for this band?

I heard the clips earlier and they didn't do anything for me. A shame, I really liked this band.

 

[Fire breath]

Yes it's Rick. But the album seems not too good IMO. Sorry The_Q!! I used to like them a lot. The band leader used to post on The Power Zone a lot when it was alive centuries ago.

Sounds good to me. Saw them at Keep It True last year and they were great. And the singer was in a wheelchair!

I am hoping to pick this up at ProgPower.

I got the deluxe edition! Why is he on a wheelchair?

Didn't Mythiasin leave Steel Prophet because he thought their songwriting was boring?

The two songs posted here are quite a ways behind material on Book of the Dead, Unseen, Dark Hallucinations, etc.

Wow. I didn't even know they were still around. Reading some of Mythasian's comments online have soured me on the guy, but I may give this a try.

Ah, good times. I had accidentally gotten a copy of Into The Void back in 1997 or 1998, but then I liked it quite a bit. I wound up communicating with Steve on the board for a while, and he actually sent me a few demos of the album they were working on at the time (Dark Hallucinations), so I was really pumped when that came out. A couple years later, I was actually able to meet him in person at ProgPower in 2001. I continued to listen to them right up through their last album in 2004. I'm looking forward to hearing the new one.

As for The Power Zone, the web hosting company with which it resided ceased to exist several months ago, heh. I've been wondering whether it's worth resurrecting it elsewhere, since traffic there had died down considerably anyway. Still, I'm going to discuss it with a couple people in a few weeks, and it may go back up at that point.

Sounds good to me.

He broke his ankles....yes both...

Thanks!! Whoa, how did he manage that??

Thanks!! Whoa, how did he manage that??

Maybe he took part in a real life presentation of MISERY????
