I still do, I have not much room left but don't care I love the Ear/Artbook.
Don't buy much on AFM Label, their prices are sky high and I refuse to purchase from them.

SILVER LAKE By Esa Holopainen - Storm
https://youtu.be/wTQBfqxi4cc

Side project from Amorphis guitarist, not what I was expecting, stunning video and beautiful melodic song.
Album is out late May, already pre-ordered.

gazinwales

Great album, much heavier than QR, showcasing Todd's amazing vocals.

gazinwales

Sounds no different to most metal albums that are mastered too loud with no dynamics and way too much compression.
Worst offender in recent memory is Threshold 'Legends Of the Shire' has great songs but sounds terrible, play it on shuffle with 'For The Journey' and hear what I am on about.

gazinwales

some 5 months later still waiting for the 'exciting news'...

gazinwales

The Madding Crowd remaster sounds amazing, great songs and of course NPJ in fine voice.

gazinwales

You only really need the first two, they are the best.
Saw them a few years ago in Helsinki Tuska Festival, pretty obvious that Blackie was lip synching and we had our suspicions about the rest of the band.

gazinwales

Thanks for posting Kev, been a tough year for many of us, I lost my mum nearly 1 year to the day and it's music that gets me through the bad times and always lifts my spirits when I am down.

gazinwales

Awesome post mate, epic and must have taken you ages.
I don't even have time to listen to that many albums enough to put together such a list.

You guys know you can just place him up on ignore and quit bitching about him, right? Under the user control panel, the feature is listed as “Foes”.

I never knew this, thank you.
Unfortunately his posts are still visible when someone else quote's him

gazinwales

He's an immature attention seeker, nothing more.
He's virtually destroyed the other board with his negatively and bullshit diatribes.

gazinwales

I'm done with DT and live, no thanks with JLB live vocals 'not being what they once were' :D I pre-ordered the BG box set for Imaginations, I love that album and I am a sucker for box sets. Hammerfall, NO comment, suffice to say I can't stand them at all. Riverside, already have this but have pre-or...

gazinwales

Bump, the first re-issue can be pre-ordered direct from the band, but they are not cheap...

gazinwales

Still waiting for the 'exciting news coming soon' for Zero Hour

gazinwales

Finally going to be issued on (double) vinyl?

gazinwales

I was looking forward to this until I heard that voice, can't stand Leprous and this song is not going to change my mind.
I do really like Ihshan and A-Ha, but the vocals kill it for me.

gazinwales

Yeah after going to the bands FB page I can see what you mean, last update was December last year: 'We are currently putting the final touches on the Wuthering Heights remasters. A few final details and we're ready to go. The old albums have never sounded better, thanks to audio wizard Jacob Hansen....

gazinwales

No I am the same, lost interest in them, starting to sound very samey and generic to my ears,

gazinwales

Yes I know I am very late in discovering WH, I knew about them for a good few years and even reviewed the Madding Crowd album a few years back. It was only last week when I was flicking through my box of promo discs that I saw this CD and decided to pop it in and rip to iTunes. Fast forward to the w...

gazinwales

Katatonia are actually more progressive than many so called prog bands, in a very subtle way.
BTW Claus check this out, I reckon you might like it:

Riverside are not my fave band, they are as I posted my fave active prog band :D Actually Wasteland and SONGS are my least listened too overall, with LFATTM being my fave Riverside release. At first I hated it as I found it a little too mellow, but it really grew on me and after hearing the live ver...

gazinwales

By active I mean still making new music and touring when current restriction allow. I've definitely moved away from prog in the past few years, but one band keeps me very interested and that is Riverside . Not everything that have done is Stella, the last album Wasteland was their least impressive a...

gazinwales

Yes Time I is great, but really has only 3 proper songs on it, Time II will only be released once Jari has his own studio, so don't hold your breathe...

gazinwales

Ah Wintersun, basically have wasted many years pissing around. They actually only have one full proper album, the debut, Time I is only half an album that Jari begrudgingly agreed to be released, even though he does not like the mix. TFS is really a glorified Jari demo, with no other Wintersun membe...

gazinwales

I wouldn't mind seeing Damien Wilson come in, I think his voice would suit Arena.

gazinwales

While I have no idea about his other commitments, whether he has a normal job, but 3 albums and just 90 or so gigs in 10 years isn't exactly burning out. I wonder who vocalist number 5 will be?

gazinwales

Arena Statement: It is with sadness that we will be parting ways with singer Paul Manzi. He has been with us for ten years, three studio albums and a lot of touring, but these commitments, particularly the touring, were becoming a strain on his time and availability, so it was mutually agreed that i...

gazinwales

This is better than anything on H2N, Floor sounding amazing...
https://youtu.be/N_XPQM-U3qU

gazinwales

Yeah I won't be making the same mistake again with Conception.

gazinwales

Finally the vinyl arrived and guess what?
I open it, the record is scuffed and so warped that it is unplayable.
Bitterly disappointed to say the least.

gazinwales

Absolute blasphemy IMO, Tarja does a great job and was and always will be the voice of Nightwish to my ears. I do like Floor in After Forever and ReVamp, but theres something that does not click with me and her in NW. In fact the last two albums with Floor are my least fave Nightwish albums in their...

gazinwales

Great interview, awesome to hear the band is active again and Erik back on vocals.
Plus did I heard Jasun mention there is a third Cynthesis album already done?

Anyone else preorder the vinyl? If so, has anyone gotten it yet? I'm still waiting for my copy.

No I haven't, I don't think that it's even shipped yet.

gazinwales

PL is killer a real return to form and some genuinely surprising aspects that have left me very happy.

gazinwales

Finally received the CD and single from the band this week.
Even though I knew it wouldn't be signed, the discs came unsealed, bounced around in the padded bag, with the corners bent.
I will be thinking twice before doing this again.
