What are Stargazer like?

Ummmm... not sure how I'd describe them, actually! I suppose death metal, but not the non-stop blasting type. Very creative, and their bass player is incredible. Usually I don't go for bands that would be described as "technical metal", but this is a little different somehow. Someone described the music as Cynic having bad nightmares, heh. They use a lot of obscure Central Asian mythology and imagery. The samples at their MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/theserpentinquisitor) aren't too long, unfortunately. They also have a website at http://www.stargazer.hm.

I think two of the guys from Stargazer now play in Portal (http://www.myspace.com/portalxiii)... now there's a fucking bizarre band. I'd love to see them live.

I was bidding on this but once it passed $30 US I stopped.

 

[Aeonblade]

You know you're the one who put it at 30 bucks right?

yeah but some dude started bidding over $30 and I'm not going that high for an album that will be remastered and reissued in the near future.

Symphony X - Paradise Lost

I have not really cared for the 3 Symphony X albums I've heard, and I left one of the headlining gigs a few years back after 3-4 songs.

But this new album (minus the couple ballads) is quite excellent-- picked it up last night.
