You can purchase it here however...
The End Records

Thanks for the tip - I'm really liking the track on the sampler!

I never got a chance to meet any of the Arizona folks. Y'all will have to give me a yell if you see me out and about sporting a PPVII shirt. :)
 
i got a fucking pyramaze bone carver shirt and thats it. i was so fucking in debt BEFORE prog power, i might as well kill myself now and hope I will be re-incarnated in time for PPVIII
 
I don't have my stack here in front of me, but I got mostly melodic metal/aor stuff...

Brother Firetribe - False Metal
Trixie - Lift You Up
Blanc Faces - s/t
Khymera - (the new one)
Snake Eye - Ritual Instinct
Black Label Society - European Invasion DVD
Wig Wam
Zan Clan
Hotshot
Hotwire
Danger Danger - Live and Nude
Ted Poley - Collateral Damage
House Of Lords - New one

29 CDs total. Spent about $300. That's about normal. Last year at the Chicago Powerfest at various stores I spent close to $500...yikes, I really need to reevaluate my priorities in life.
 
Wow!!! some of these lists are amazing - here is my somewhat smaller list, but to my defense I'm purchasing a home soon and need more money in my pocket for a downpayment...:headbang:

Zero Hour-Specs of Pictures Burnt Beyond
Therion-Live in Midgard
Communic-Waves of Visual Decay
Vision Divine-Stream of Consciousness
Vision Divine-The Perfect Machine

Shirts
Evergrey Friday Night Apocalypse

That was my Carnivora cd dude! You yanked it out of my hands though. =(

No problem on the posters!

Damn... I want this disc!! It was released just yesterday, but in Norway only. Anybody know when it'll be available here in the states? And for anyone that hasn't checked out the new tracks on their MySpace space, you really should. There's a video as well on Tore's page. I'm digging them all big time.
