Viper was a heavy metal band that was formed in 1985 in Brazil. Their vocalist joined the band when he was 15 if I'm not wrong. They recorded amazing albums (Soldiers of Sunrise and Theater of Fate). Their singer went on to become of the greatest singers of all time in heavy metal, by forming a band named ANGRA. His name is Andre Matos.
I've listening to Astral Doors for the past few days. This band doesn't get enough recognition within our circle if you ask me.
Evil Is Forever friggin' rocks!

Flotsam & Jetsam - The Cold !! Damn good disc I might add. The title track is one of my favorite's of the year, and Better Off Dead is a flat out powerful track. The entire disc is strong .. great singing as well. I think this will make my top 10 this year.

todays CD is
SKELATOR - Death To All Nations. One of my favorite disc that came out this year.
Astral Doors is a damn good band ... only problem is that they have made basically the same album four or five time in a row. For me it kind of lost it's steam after the first two or three. I'm currenly having a similar problem with Sabaton.

I was very shocked by this. I have their very first disc with Newstead which I still love, but I heard a while ago that they really weren't that great after that. I randomly decided to listen to some samples of this and was really impressed. It almost sounds like power thrash to me. After this album, I may now go back and take a listen to some of their other discs.
