That's very kind of you to say - thanks a lot!

Hello everyone, As you know, I really like Riverside but I'd certainly not class myself as a fanboy, so I hope my review is an honest and relatively impartial affair. So, for those of you who might be interested, here's the link: https://manofmuchmetal.com/2018/09/12/riverside-wasteland-album-review...

Man Of Much Metal

Thanks for sharing my review - it's a great album!

Man Of Much Metal

It's a decent album, better than decent actually.

For those interested, here are my thoughts on it:

Hi All, Forgive me for the shameless new thread & self-promotion, but I genuinely believe that this album and this band deserves the attention. So, if the mood takes you, here's my feature-length song-by-song review of 'The Persistence' by Kingcrow... https://manofmuchmetal.com/2018/08/29/kingcr...

This genuinely has 'number 1 album of 2018' stamped all over it...and this isn't even the best track. Trust me on this, this album is a monster!

Man Of Much Metal

I'm going to buck the trend of grumpiness, by saying that I quite like the sound of this. I'd have preferred new SX material, but I'll take this!

Man Of Much Metal

These are both strong contenders come the year's end - stunning stuff!

Man Of Much Metal

I really am curious sometime as to how you differentiate a 9.75 rating from a 9.8...... :) Glad to see you dug both this and Subsignal; looking forward to hearing both. Haha, it's called 'having my own website & being able to be as arbitrary as I like with my scoring having spent many years bei...

Man Of Much Metal

Hi All, I had a quick look & couldn't find another thread about this record, so I thought I'd oblige! I know that some of you don't enjoy growlies, but that aside, this record is melodic/folk/prog rock/metal gold. I urge you to take a listen...or at least take a peek at my succinct (hahaha) revi...

Man Of Much Metal

Heck, with a capital 'oooohhh'! This is rather excellent, isn't it?! I was aware of this record on the horizon, but I wasn't blown away by the last record, so I wasn't that excited....that has now changed & I am very interested to hear more of this band. I really like this song. Right up my stre...

Man Of Much Metal

This is in no way a dig at Kamelot, because I've said all I've said on that score...but this is the Tommy that I want to hear - full of passion, individuality and lending his killer pipes to some excellent, intelligent and melodic prog. No-one sounds quite like SW and that's the biggest accolade I c...

Man Of Much Metal

I'm glad I'm not alone with the review issues - I did think long and hard before even writing this review and finally decided to air my issues. On the album itself, I simply can't decide if I like it or not - I've just not had enough access to it to decide. But from what I did hear, I didn't hate it...

Man Of Much Metal

In case anyone is interested, I have penned my review of this new Kamelot album...but my review is a little different to my normal fare & I *may* have gone off on a little rant. But perhaps not for the reasons you may think! In short, I'm still on the fence with this release thanks to the decisi...

Man Of Much Metal

Yes, yes, yes...once again this board comes up trumps. This is fantastic, so much so that I have tracked the band down & sent them a message asking if I can get hold of a promo to review it. This needs a wider audience. It may not be the most original music out there, but I love the vibe of thi...

Hey guys,

I love this record, with a capital 'L'. I agree with the production, but otherwise, this is marvellous.

Man Of Much Metal

Another album I'm looking forward to hearing. This year is shaping up nicely!

Man Of Much Metal

Interested in this - looking forward to hearing more for sure.

Man Of Much Metal

I'm looking forward to hearing the entire album before making a final decision, but I have to say that I might be 'done' with Kamelot. Not for any other reason than their newer material just leaves me a bit 'meh'. I'm not going to join the 'bring back the 'Karma' era, but that was their best period ...

Hi All, In light of the Progpower USA news a short time ago, some of you might be interested in taking a look at my review of the new record from Oceans of Slumber, 'The Banished Heart'. I hope you like it: https://manofmuchmetal.com/2018/02/27/oceans-of-slumber-the-banished-heart-album-review/ Chee...

Man Of Much Metal

I forgot to mention that this part in your review had me cracking up: "Kælling is a name that should definitely be taken seriously." - Considering that the name means BITCH in Danish, that sentence there was hilarious to me :) I wish I could say that it was deliberate, but it wasn't! Glad...

Man Of Much Metal

Matt Thank you so much for this recommendation. This disc is great!!! Yes, there’s some leprous in it for sure and I agree with a bit of katatonia (not just because of the cover). Your review is spot on. Keep those reviews coming - I keep finding new stuff there. I'm so pleased you like it - they d...

Man Of Much Metal

Gah, how did I miss this one? I am a big fan of their last record but I just assumed they'd gone to the wall. I'm off to get hold of this right now - thanks for the heads-up!

Man Of Much Metal

Hi All, I recently came across a new name - Kælling - they are a Portuguese duo and in December they released their debut album, 'Lacuna'. I've been very impressed by them, enough to give the album the full review treatment. They are worth checking out if you like Leprous, Caligula's Horse etc - whi...

Man Of Much Metal

It's a good album for sure, with plenty to like...I just wish they'd kept with the vocals of the last two. Nevertheless, if you're interested, here's my fuller review:

Thanks very much - high praise indeed & I'm pleased that my review isn't way off the mark!

ToddS wrote:This is a killer record! As you said in your review, maybe their best. Wow!

It is one of those great albums that just gets progressively better (if you'll excuse the pun!!) - what starts out as a decent record, soon grows into something quite phenomenal.
