 | mandan Q2K has been getting stuck on me. Awesome atmosphere imo.
|

|

|
| Jethro42 Reminding to voting on Prog epic Rd 3. Tomorrow is the last day.
|
| Jethro42 Reminder to voting for Prog epic rd 1. Tomorrow is the last day.
|
| Jethro42 Hi Sab. We're in a prog preliminaries. Check out my last list, if you will.
|
 | bloc Just google it and daaaaaaaaamn I have no regrets
|
| bloc Not gay, but I am in love with Dave Gahan and company so I can understand the confusion. Remind me again when this was? What's the picture?
|
 | kalkwiese Lol, I love when weird s*** like that happens in a dream instead of some stressful stuff. I mean, my dream still makes me chuckle a bit
|
 | parksungjoon this gon piss people off but a lot of that stuff actually reminded me of vektor :x
|
| parksungjoon they have some decent moments im not a fan of the modern production at all and the vocals also let them down in the modern era. hyaena was my fav of those albums fwiw
|
| parksungjoon yeahhhhhhh a lot of edm stuff since the 90s has focused on singles and remixes. just another reason to appreciate underworld, orbital, fluke, BT etc for releasing strong full lengths too
|
| parksungjoon 3plus prob but im a fan in general i guess. great act!
|
 | SharkTooth Reminder to vote on M3 of the prog tourney
|
| Jethro42 Hey Sab, what's up. I announce you there is another prog tourney coming up in early spring. If you wanna join in, say hello right here; https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=197193
|
 | discovolante Novela is a band I?ve been meaning to look into, particularly because of how their image ended up being highly influential to visual kei. One day!
|
 | Pikazilla didn't you 2.5 their entire discog? I haven't actually listened to them, just saw a couple of your reviews lmao
|
| Pikazilla why do you have beef with axel rudi pell
|
 | Trifolium Grindstone is super cool, took some time to get used to it but there's so much cool stuff happening in that one! B.S. is next.
|
| Trifolium Hahaha, that sounds awesome, I think I'll check those two songs and see where we go from there. Thanks for the heads up!
|
 | Koris Yeah, I always thought that Gore was underrated. Rubicon in particular is one of my all-time favorite Deftones songs
|
 | undertakerpt Did you remove the review? I can?t seem to see it ?
|
| undertakerpt It?s crazy how good your memory is to remember that comment I made though...I could do with some more toto in my life tbh, I only ever had that livefields record and a live dvd somewhere, I haven?t really checked them beyond that, I shall give live in poland a go ?
|
| undertakerpt Haha yep that?s me, about 18 years ago when I was a teenager I had a guitar tutor who introduced me to a lot of new music, he loaned me the toto livefields record, I reluctantly put it on only having known them from their hit Africa, and it blew my nutsack off, Steve Lukather?s guitar tone was the voice of god, especially on that live take of Jake to the Bone, and another world. It?s sooo good I may have to put it on again right now ?
|
 | sonictheplumber i live in north georgia about 90 minutes north of atlanta so ive been to around 100 or so shows over the years but if a band like camel or vdgg comes to the US its usually somewhere in new york or los angeles. and yeah i met ed, his wife, his son, and the drummer
|
| sonictheplumber awesome dude where do you live? i have tickets to steve hackett but thats not gonna happen anytime soon, had chances to see renaissance, tull, ian anderson, etc but missed em unfortunately. did see ozric tentacles once though
|
| sonictheplumber thats nuts! i havent really seen any of the classic proggers except rush, yes, king crimson
|
 | Voivod Hope the same for you too, things are as fine as they can be for the time being.
|
| Voivod You really need to listen to these compatriots of yours, fantastic deathrashcore (as I'm writing this, I have the last track of the album on repeat) - https://downfall1.bandcamp.com/album/passive-regression
|
| Pikazilla I actually downloaded the rutracker version and it's eh. I keep checking soulseek but no luck so far on that end too. Worst thing is, I actually have the damn cd, it's just in another town at the moment.
|
| Pikazilla Hi. Would you happen to have a hi-quality rip of Tragic Illusion (comp by Paradise Lost)? Can't find the damn thing anywhere.
|
 | e210013 Yeah, it's true. I'm going to lose certainly a concert of Yes in Lisbon in 24 of April, too. And what is worse is that I've already the ticket for me and to my youngest son, and I never saw them in my life. But, things are what they are. And the cases multiplies in my country in a mind-blowing rhythm day by day. I hope that everything will be ok with us and our families.
|
 | Glad to hear that life goes on. Here in Quebec, Canada, we now count 63 known touched by the virus, and 460 cases in the rest of Canada. We are asked to stay isolated at home as much as possible for 2 or 3 weeks, to avoid propagation. So no more gathering of any kind, no more sports, no more concerts, and a big number of commerces are closed for these few weeks, although drugstores, groceries and such are opened. The loved ones are safe up to now, even if the world goes nuts like e21 says.
|
| e210013 I saw the comment of Jethro and I'm very glad too that it's everything ok with you my friend. I'm very worried what is happening in Europe and in the world in general. Me and a group of friends had a project of a trip to Slovenia in the begining of May where we were going to land at the Venice airport, with a connection to Ljubljana by bus. It seams that it's an impossible thing to do. So, the world is a bit crazy in these days. I hope that everything keeps well with you and your family.
|
| Jethro42 Sab, mate, are you doing fine since that huuuuuge contagion in Italy? I'm hoping that all your loved ones and yourself are safe and well! That virus is a monster, but we'll get through that...
|
 | notagenius I will see him in Germany. but I am worried if the shows will be canceled. : (
|
| notagenius Hey, take my note. thanks Sabrutin. I will do good prepareation. thxxxxx
|
| notagenius Hi Sabrutin. I saw your sound off of Pat Metheny. his lastest release left me just speechless, amazing scope. I am preparing for visiting his concert in May. is that possible for to recommend me some albums of his or Pat Metheny Group or any cooperations records? for there are too many, my knowledge is unfornately not systematic. thx, but if it is not convenient, it is fine as well.
|
 | Friday13th Hey man, got your vote ready for Pulsar v. Unreal City?
|
 | manosg Hey, Sab! Whereas some guys see bands like Gygax as copycats, I respect them for keeping the spirit of legendary bands alive.
|
 | Kaiwaz Guy Man wants you to come to this discord, you're always welcome here dude, lemme know
|
 | metalhead2425 I didn't know about Kikonia being released. I'll have to check it out once it comes out. Also, thanks for letting me know about the notifications. I didn't know it worked like that.
|
| Jethro42 I'm ok thanks, and you're welcome for the reminder, mate. A tournament without you would have not be the same :)
|
| Jethro42 Hey Sab, my friend! Everything is okay? Are you aware that another prog tournament is in process? So I invite you to join in before we get all the candidates. Cheers man!
|
 | Flugmorph ye theyre good but i love the claymores even more
|
| Flugmorph yeah i love my special claymore boxset hehe
|
| Flugmorph you know you dont have to rate them to put them on your list, right?
|
| Flugmorph oh those are some interesting choices, cant say ive seen index or the nako koro ni series so far but higurashi has been on the top of my ptw list for a while now, too bad that list includes 650 anime without sequels lol. do you have a mal account?oh yeah my fav shows would be eva, k-on!, space dandy, toradora and girls last tour.
|
| Flugmorph saw you mentioning seppuku just now but i think it was you editing an obscure japanese band thats only known because they contributed to an anime opening or smth lol. what are the series you are passionate about?
|
| Jethro42 Hi Sab, i'm ok thanks, yourself? Yes I was aware for the latest Mad Fellaz since its trailer. Band pushes the right buttons for me. A blend of Big Big Train (more busy though) and The Tangent. They often approach a jazzy style without touching it. Mad Fellaz II was my favorite, but now I've listend to their latest twice, and I really like most of it, especially the opener and the last two. Thanks for the reminder, buddy.
|
 | ksoflas Never mind. Todd is a drummer too? WTF.
|
| ksoflas Hey Sub, who is the drummer in the upcoming Ryche album?
|
 | cold The Paradigm Shift is one of the better albums Korn released post-Issues, but I'm still not fond of it. After Issues, my interest in that music was declining as well as Korn's musical output. Basically, it just didn't do a whole lot for me. Now, The Serenity Of Suffering was a very nice return to form, in my opinion.
|
 | Caronte Thanks for your kind words man, they deserve more recognition. A presto!
|
 | Doctuses haha, sono un studente americano, studio latino e greco antico in universita, posso leggerlo, per me italiano e molto facile che latino lol, ma devo pratticarlo.
|
| Friday13th Prog tourney this Monday, Memorial day!
|
| bloc Lol, it's like living 2 lives at once
|
| bloc Ah, maybe I'm the odd one out. I only remember super brief moments or still images from my dreams.
|
| bloc Hahahaha, dude how do you remember your dreams so accurately?
|
| bloc Wow, your description is not that far off lol. I also love the topic of our discussion, you remembered every detail lmao
|
| bloc LOL thanks for sharing. What did I look like?
|
| manosg Happy new year, Sab! Glad you enjoyed Necromandus - yes the first song was written in the '70s but I think it's a new recording. It's nice to see when someone finally makes it.
|
 | BlackMalachite Honestly, the problems really haven't been showing up to me bar some annoying control s*** every once and a while. It's a pretty solid 8/10 game for me right now and I absolutely love the customization rewards I get with every level and the daily missions and such.
|
| BlackMalachite So yeah I bought Sonic Forces and it's one of the best game purchases I've made all year.
|
| BlackMalachite Oh hell yeah I love cosmetics, I think I'll really dig the game
|
| BlackMalachite That's what I heard too, what exactly does 100% it entail?
|
| manosg Hey Sab, what's up buddy? All is well with me, busy as a bee with work to the point where I would like to relax a bit but can't complain, especially considering the economic situation in Greece. Really happy you enjoy the new Necromandus so much. And yes, it's the prog leanings that make it such a nice and varied listen. I'm also really glad that Necromandus finally managed to release a proper debut considering their story.
|
 | TheGreatQ I was in Rome for 4 days, spent one visiting Pompeii, 4 in Florence, one in Siena, 2 in Verona, and then 2 in Venice
|
| TheGreatQ Thank you so much for recommending Klimt 1918! I'm really digging them.
|
 | Dedes Lol sorry if that sounded weird just saw that you really digged November's Doom and I'm happy someones giving it some love. Borderline is ****ing incredible.
|
| Dedes So you're a Doom metal fan are ya? :p
|
| Voivod I knew you would dig it! Apart from the rest of the band, their singer is very good!!!
|
| Voivod Heavy/doom rock/metal from your homeland, that slays - http://scrmetal.bandcamp.com/album/post-mortem-blues
|
| Voivod Thanks man and I wish the same for you!
|
 | Titan Merry Christmas Sabs, to you and your family! And yes, I look forward to dumping on that Queensryche cover band!
|
| manosg Merry Christmas Sab! Wish you a wonderful holidays and lots of good music.
|
| Jethro42 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, dude! Best wishes!
|
| Voivod That's great news! You can post it on the news section and have a cool thread at it :-D
|
 | MrSirLordGentleman People may say a lot about Toto, but damn composed of excellent session musicians
|
| manosg haha, no worries Sab. I especially enjoyed Witchwood's debut and have high hopes for these guys. Their only drawback for me is that some of their songs are a bit on the long side but overall they're pretty good.
|
 | DrJohn wtf is going on with the shoutbox... it's cutting off me posts
|
| DrJohn stop TOTOING me you ****in Tate. lol np mate i might give it a go when in a rly good mood. after all i never said i hate them just meh is all
|
| MrSirLordGentleman I checked Hydra and The Seventh One long time ago. Wasn't that impressed by TSO, but Hydra had some pretty cool moments. Maybe I should revisit it
|
 | ChoccyPhilly Hey man, not too bad and tbh I was on a good old Sonata nostalgia binge recently so I'l definitely check it out this weekend!
|
| manosg Oh man, really sad to read that. I also read that around 40,000 people have lost their homes which is awful. And the L'Aquila disaster is still so fresh. My thoughts and prayers go to all of you guys.
|
| manosg Hey Sab, is everything okay with the earthquakes there?
|
| Voivod http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OswrZDnPu6c
|
 | Insignia777 Hey. It's Insignia. God, I was such a dick back a couple of years ago. My reviews for so terrible. I was just browsing a couple of hours ago reading a bunch of Rush reviews, and I saw my old review and I'm like "wtf is this even still doing on here?". So, for s***s and giggles, I checked it out and I'm like, god, this is so bad. Like, I deserved all that hate in the comments cause I was an a** hole.
|
| Voivod Will check the album you mentioned asap!
|
| Voivod I love that Katatonia album, despite its intended one-dimensionality songwriting-wise.
|
| Voivod Sabrutin, I have come across this new Italian thrash outfit called Totem and Taboo and their debut album, very promising, but underdevelopped stuff (as in a 3.3), if you have time, check them out as a casual listen, and let me know what you think.
|
 | LibGyps Yo, check out Between the Buried and Me's album, Colors. Right up your alley
|
| manosg Nice song, a bit of prog going on! The Riot journey was a long one for sure haha. Interested in seeing if the next album you review is as good as its average suggests.
|
| manosg Hey Sab, how's it going? Saw your comment on Journey's debut and through to send you this link. One of my favorite AOR songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfJQ6yveYH0
|
| manosg Life in Greece isn't the best ever, I must admit. Unemployment, high taxation, control over how we spend our money (cash will be frowned uppon!), etc. But as you've said, we gotta hold on, gotta persevere. Regarding the new Rage, I agree with your assessment; good but not spectacular, is how I feel about it. For some reason, most reviews on the web are praising the album.
|
| manosg Hey Sab, what's up? Have you checked the new Rage yet?
|
| Jethro42 Looking forward to your Toto reviews, man, and let see if I'm getting interested by them through your reviews and their music. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Yeah, we surely can detect some prog in the song you linked to me. The orchestration and the frequent arrangement changes are some signs. But it's still mostly a pop rock song disguised into a prog one. Vocals reminds me of Gowan at times. Definitely a cool song. And I'm gonna check for that recent Le Orme. And you're right, the cover art is more representative of the concept. I know that it's about two opposite planets with one containing happy people and the other one containing sad people...
|
| Jethro42 Ok, yes, I see what you mean. Out of what I heard, they definitely are ''prog related''. They don't feature on progarchives though. I don't know the band in depth, but what I know of them is a classic rock band. I'm gonna check your link later, thanks. Cool for Le Orme, thanks for the info. I have to check it out. Cheers, man!
|
| Jethro42 Wow, awesome medley thanks. I didn't know they were that diversified. This sounded prog for the majority of the lenght. I will check out these full tracks one by one. Also I see that Le Orme just released Felona E Sorona in English? Is that it?
|
 | TheBrutalMaster Hey man, if you have time, you could write a review for my band's latest album! http://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=210894
|
| manosg Hey Sab, just saw your soundoff for Steelwing. I definitely recommend it, very fun album.
|
| manosg Happy new year Sab! All the best to you and your loved ones!
|
| Voivod Don't mention it man :-). It's impossible to write soundoffs for every album that's heard, I wrote my soundoffs during the whole year, and I merely copied them to the list. For the other lists, I just decided not to leave these albums buried in my bookmark manager, and yeah, their making was tiring.
|
| Voivod Ok, I was merely asking, as I have something in mind for a Nirnaeth review.
|
| Voivod Saw your rating about Nirnaeth. Great album, full of unexpected eccentricities. Do you have plans for a review?
|
 | Dizchu Haha awesome. Too bad I'm pretty irregular around here, I mostly just lurk around.
|
| ksoflas You need to check this http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/62563/Savatage-The-Dungeons-Are-Calling/ if you liked Sirens man.
|
 | magicuba lo so anche io ci metto mesi a raccogliere i suggerimenti ;) Ma questi secondo me meritano davvero :)
|
| magicuba Sabrutin devi assolutamente ascoltare i Fall of Efrafa se non l' hai ancora fatto
|
| Voivod ... with some really unexpected melodic parts. Really interesting!
|
| Voivod I'm jamming the album right now from Spotify, nice, dirty speed metal.
|
| Voivod Hey man, you really got to check this out, '90s US power/progressive metal that is being released some 20 years after... http://tribunalrecords.bandcamp.com/album/nails
|
| manosg haha right on! It took me a bit of time to really like them, but when it clicked it was magical. Are you checking their discog chronologically?
|
| manosg That 4.5 for Somewhere Far Beyond warms my heart. Really glad you're digging Blind Guardian, man.
|
 | Angelboros Yeah, I have sort of taken a fancy to them. Nothing about them stands out too much, although I've enjoyed a lot of what I stumbled upon. I might review one of their albums.
|
 | Willie Eventually. Life got in the way....
|
| magicuba lo stai aggiungendo te max pezzali?
|
 | CalculatingInfinity I enjoyed it, but too much of a braty juvenile tone to her voice compared to what I ususally look in female singer/songwriters. Speaking of them, one of them is releasing my most hyped release of the year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vMhe90s29k
|
| CalculatingInfinity You heard the latest song out Cast Your Shell? Much more chill and happy then usual FALILV. I hope it ain't 'Singles Syndrome' kinda like Phase 2 and alot of Jap releases. I'm waiting for Haruka to Miyaki's EP too. Haven't listened to Mami before, any good?
|
 | Mythodea Oh god, it's awful. The way the words ''wobble'' or ''dance'' during the verses it's just... And don't get me started on the letters. You sir, just found my weak spot at Lyric Videos.
|
| magicuba In effetti potrei, sarà stupido ma non mi era neanche venuto in mente di provarci.... se trovo il tempo lo farò
|
| magicuba Studio a Maastricht, dove il metal e il punk purtroppo scarseggiano :( comunque finora ho usato il sito più che altro per trovare cose nuove, non tanto per comunicare. 3 giorni fa ho fatto la prima lista, per capirci. Il sito era più usato qualche anno fa vero? Almeno cos' sembra dal numero di voti che sembrano decresciuti con gli anni
|
| magicuba yes I am, living in a foreign country but born and raised in Genoa. Sputnik is responsible for the change of my musical taste ( luckily)
|
 | TheSonomaDude I have a few, or had a few. Flyhead, Sowders, Koster, Goatmoon, they are all people I know in real life. Flyhead talked Sowders into making his, and I talked Koster and Goatmoon into theirs. FiveNightsAtFreddies is a Sowders alt so I guess he counts too.
|
 | FrozenVain If you hadn't added it I probably wouldn't be aware of it so thanks for that. Gotta love Demetori.
|
| FrozenVain Haha! Yeh, as soon as I saw it I was like: Holy crap!
|
 | Hawks No prob my man. :] m/
|
| Hawks I've heard a few tracks from it bro and didn't really dig. I'll check the full album though when I'm in the mood. On a bit of an indie kick right now haha.
|
| manosg No worries. I'll check their stuff chronologically and see how that goes. I'll let you know how I like the debut once I listen to it!
|
| manosg Sweet. Where do you suggest I should start?
|
| manosg Yeah that's pretty reasonable as they're doing the exact same thing on every album of theirs I've listened. Don't know if I'll check their whole discog because I'm sure that they'll bore me at some point. That said, their first three albums I've checked are solid.
|
| manosg Hey Sab, what's up? I see you've rated Stormwitch! Great little obscure band. Their first albums are pretty solid, definitely a fun listen.
|
 | Toondude10 this is ****ing beautiful http://m.imgur.com/gallery/eIfTc
|
| manosg Hey Sab! Yeah, Bible of the Beast has all the common qualities found in an average power metal album. I was surprised by the average rating, honestly. But I was reading today that Lupus Dei is their most solid effort so I'll probably give it a shot.
|
| Toondude10 yeah the production is what kills it for me. I've heard some of it but I don't think I'll listen to the whole thing. That reminds me though, I need to get back on my Rhapsody of Fire discog review.
|
| Toondude10 I checked that out a while ago actually. I honestly hate the sound that both albums had. It's so restrained for me.
|
| Jethro42 Hi Sabrutin. I see you rated an Asia record. Have you tried 'Phoenix'? Cos according to a Prog Archives' reviewer who has pretty much the same taste as me in music, it would be a record to explore (apparently his fav). Nothing new under the sun though, they always adopt the same AOR formula, but it's nicely done. It's the only record I listened to, save the famous s/t. As for XXX, I've only listened to the songs the reviewer rated high enough. I'll correct it. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 K, I think Il Castello is at some point inspired by Quella Vecchia Locanda, mainly cos of the violin I think. I particularly enjoy when Il Castello goes folkish. I think my fav song by now is La Foresta. After one listen, I realized that they can't touch bands like PFM, Banco or Le Orme. Not enough personality for that. Songs are well done for the most part though. I'm gonna give another spin to make sure my rating is legit. Thanks for showing me these guys, Sabrutin.
|
| Jethro42 Thanks Sabrutin. I'm gonna listen to their first album tomorrow. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Spettri sounds interesting. As for Il Castello di Atlante, do you have a link because there are little to find from youtube.
|
| Jethro42 Yeah while Italian prog rock has its own distinctive soundscape, it has a lot in common with the British prog scene, hence my interest for it. I never heard of Il Castello di Atlate. Thanks! I just took a look to the Menawati top 30 of RPI, but you already commented into it ;)
|
| manosg Hey Sab, thanks for the rec. Folk metal is really hit or miss for me as I'm not so much into bands like Korpiklaani or Finntroll but I love Skyclad. The track you linked me is pretty good though.
|
| manosg Oh I'm definitely up! There's so much quality in those obscure heavy metal acts of the '80s. Gonna check for sure.
|
| manosg Oh yeah, I like FW. I'm listening to Crimson Glory - Transcendence at the moments and it's beautiful. It's kinda similar to FW and Queensryche as well.
|
| manosg Oh, I'll make amends asap. I'll jam The Warning in the following days.
|
| manosg Of course dude! I must admit that besides Operation: Mindcrime, I've jammed Queensryche sporadically.
|
| manosg Recorded in 1987 and released in 2014! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho0cph787xs
|
| manosg If you enjoyed Battalions of Fear, prepare to be awed by Tales from the Twilight World!
|
 | evilford thank you I really appreciate that
|
| manosg Hey Sab, I see you've rated Visigoth and Grand Magus. If you're up for some epic doom, Sorcerer - In the Shadow of the Inverted Cross is an excellent choice, if you haven't already heard it ofc.
|
| Voivod I'm a sucker for 80s metal, thanks! I'm listening to the album right, love its grindcore/crossover thrash design!!
|
| Voivod hey, I think you would dig this - http://sumerlands.bandcamp.com/releases
|
| CalculatingInfinity Exactly. The shear energy, chemestry of the licks and personality has in alot of their songs to make them stand out and awesome vocals make them definately worthwhile (especally on All That We Have Now). Everything is just so overbearing and hold nothing back while having a unique sound and keep breakdowns to a minimum, and I like that.
|
| CalculatingInfinity I have a bad meter of these things :P. Pretty much, their music is pretty much like musicial crack when they get it right.
|
| CalculatingInfinity I'm not ashamed at all, it's just the closest I have to a 'guilty pleasure' since so many people vox are lolbad and all Eletronica-core or whatever you like to call it has very negative image (and to be honest, for good reason).
|
| manosg Hey Sab, thanks for the rec! The track is great indeed. Very characteristic of the era but really good at the same time.
|
| Hawks Yeah dude one of my favorite albums ever. I've heard a few tracks from the first album and didn't dig so that's why I never checked it haha.
|
| manosg hahaha, my 15 minutes of fame! Now my next objective is to go viral, hahaha!
|
| manosg Hey dude, just saw your comment on my UFO review. Sorry for not replying earlier and thanks for checking ;)
|
 | eddie95 Capisco, anche un paio di miei amici sono iscritti ma non votano alcun album da tempo, figurarsi a scrivere una recensione!
|
| eddie95 Ma allora degli user italiani che sono anche effettivamente attivi esistono! Interessante...
|
 | Deviant. No bother at all! And they're gone
|
| Titan I like it from Signs Say Go onward. The first half of the record is forgettable.
|
| Titan Whats up bro! I see a pretty low rating for mindcrime 2. How about the second half of that record though?
|
| Voivod US heavy/power that's worth our attention - http://visigoth.bandcamp.com/album/final-spell
|
| Voivod It's a shame they're not streaming the whole album of this good band, some old school metal labels don't really like streaming services me thinks.
|
| Voivod Thanks man, will check it right away
|
| Voivod Hi man, this is surprisingly solid and well played classic heavy metal from Colombia - http://revenge666.bandcamp.com/album/harder-than-steel
|
| Voivod An I love pizza. We have a Greek company called Roma Pizza, the best pizza money can buy in Greece.
|
| Voivod No I haven't got to see Septic Flesh unfortunately. Italy is fantastic too, the people are really hospitable. I've been to Milan, Genoa, Rome, Firenze, all great places.
|
| Voivod I haven't listened to Kamelot all that much, so I can't compare the two outfits. On another note, I couldn't help reading the previous shoutbox posts... Are you Italian? I'm from Greece! Una Faccia Una Razza haha!
|
| Voivod Canadian "US" heavy/power metal - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho0cph787xs. Read the relevant article in Blabbermouth: http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/deaf-dealers-journey-into-fear-album-to-see-light-of-day-after-27-years/
|
| mandan Sweet, I've never been to Milan. I'd love to go sometime. Ofc, Italy has a ton of stuff to be seen.
|
| mandan What region of Italy are you from man? Veneto, Sicily, Tuscany, Calabria, Puglia, Piedmont?
|
| mandan Songs like "Liquid Sky", "The Right Side of My Mind", "Rhythm of Hope", "Hundred Mile Stare", etc., are examples of that.
|
| mandan I think that DeGarmo was a key part of Queensryche's sound. When he left, the band just wasn't the same anymore. Even if I'm not as harsh on the band's post-PL material as many are, I can understand why many wouldn't sympathize with it. But having said that, there are still cool jams from that period imo.

| Voivod Thanks for the rec, the Falconer album was one of the very few power metal albums of 2014 I really enjoyed. Two other releases I really liked were the Sumerlands demo (http://sumerlands.bandcamp.com/releases) and the first album from Johnny Touch (http://shadowkingdomrecords.bandcamp.com/album/inner-city-wolves)

| Voivod I just came across this obscure '80s power/thrash metal gem and I think you will like this as well: http://shadowkingdomrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-awakening
|
| Voivod Well, I'm not sure if I have the free time to write a review for it right now, although I intend to make the time. Tell you what; on your own pace, write reviews for the Restless Breed first and then for the Riot V album. If you complete the latter review and I haven't, let me know, so you can air it immediately and I will ask for a feature, given that you will post the review until November the 28th (that is a month from the official release date of the Riot V album).
|
| Voivod Just saw your rating for the Riot V album, I bought it yesterday, it's a 3.5 for sure, if not more. Are you planning on writing something about it?
|
| ChoccyPhilly Ecliptica Revisited is horribly disappointing :( but Blank File is sounding so good on the other hand
|
| ChoccyPhilly Yeah man, I've been playing for like 5 years now and I represented my borough in the London Youth Games a while back. It's a very physically demanding sport at intermediate and even higher levels and I don't think many people believe that

 | emester your profile pc may be the best thing ever
|
 | Jasdevi087 Will certainly have to check in that case.
|
| Jasdevi087 No dude I believe you, I can imagine. I'll have to get around to those.
|
 | SirDrumsalot I agree with you dude. I think his voice is pretty turrible now, and way too nasally from all the coke.He just said he could still hit the high notes in a recent interview.
|
| SirDrumsalot Oh you didn't hear? He can still hit the high notes. He just chooses not to becuase he doesn't sing to show off. He only sings the notes that the music needs.
|
| SirDrumsalot Hey man, just gotta say it, I love your avatar. Geoff is a derp.
|
| Jasdevi087 Cool. What's the shipping cost like from there cause I usually pay quite a bit for shipping when I import Japanese stuff. That is, when I even find a reasonably priced item.
