Hmmm that was one heck of a let down. The last album was a big disappointment already, but hearing them butcher so many classic songs is just painful. Riot is one of my absolute favorite heavy metal / power metal bands, and while I had mixed feelings about them even continuing after Mark Reale’s pa...

Guillaume

This is awesome news for sure. Hopefully he can do another tour w both bands together like he did 15-20 years ago .. that was so awesome seeing both in one night. In his 60s, I doubt King is able to pull it vocally doing 2 gigd per night, save for doing reduced sets for both bands (45 min. each)...

Not sure if there are any MF fans here, but here is some cool news for you ........

This is killer news! Hopefully they'll tour North America.

Really sad about Timi Hansen cancer though...

I think the band is sadly most likely gone for good given that Marco is working full-time with Nightwish and drummer Pecu Cinnari died in 2016... Hope to be wrong.

They just released an excellent album, The God Machine, one of my faves of the year so far. They have a new singer, RD Liapakis (Mystic Prophecy, Devil's Train, Valley's Eve).

Every Dio album has a couple of not so great songs on them (filler). Even the great Holy Diver and Last in Line have a couple of clunkers Hmmmm... What would be the clunkers on these 2 albums?

I'm currently revisiting Dio... Maybe no classic Dio songs on "Strange Highways" like on the previous albums. But when listening a Dio album from start to finish, I think this is the best album! No!! I really like Strange Highways, but nothing touches Holy Diver and Last In Line from start to finis...

Guillaume

The impression I get is that he doesn't want to have to make a second album with Tate. I'm 100% sure you're correct about that part. My thought here is that Mularoni was hoping to be the next Magnus Karlsson on Frontiers roster, but seeing that Geoff got all the credit he probably realized that Swe...

Guillaume

You believe everything you read on the internet? Once no... twice no... after multiple times like spitting on his former band mates, not respecting his fans? Yes. There are so many things in that story from this guitar player (a complete nobody) that doesn’t make sense though; - hip hop? - recorded...

Guillaume

I'm also playing the crap out of Sunburst and Black Fate trying to recapture the Khan and Conception magic. Count me amongst the few that didn't care for the Conception EP. Vasilis isn't quite Roy, but for me he's close enough. The two Black Fate albums are more of the Kamelot style but damn they'r...

Playing the Asperity disc for the 1st time in years. Was released in 2004. Still as good as ever. Killer melodic heavy/power with hooks aplenty. This band should have made a bigger impact on the scene.

Guillaume

I've listened to Sweet Oblivion three times now, and there's two things I can say about it; 1) It's the most QR sounding thing Tate has done in decades, including the last few QR albums, and 2) Hearing him singing some good music for a change makes it clear his voice isn't there anymore. Tobi hid h...

Guillaume

Asperity/The Final Demand - This came out in 2005 I think and is so overlooked. These guys can write a chorus! The production could have been a bit better as the sound is on the thin side guitar-wise, but I think this is a terrific album that probably only myself has purchased. Thanks for reminding...

Guillaume

I've gotten to the point where I hate interludes so bad I'm going to have a hard time listening to this much even if the rest is good. I just don't understand why bands don't understand how lame these things are. Sure they might seem clever the first few times, but then they are so annoying every o...

Guillaume

The new record is good, but I don't think it's as good as "Legacy" was. It feels like a slightly tamer version of that one. The good parts are all still there, but it isn't quite as sharp. No one asked for your opinion. Don't shit in my post. I see what you did there .... too funny!!! Those that do...

Perhaps the fact that he's a tremendously shitty human has dimmed your enthusiasm for his output? He's guaranteed that I'll not pay anything toward him again. I would have agreed with you a few years back, but I hear Tate has changed quite a bit. Everyone that's worked with him, including Tobias on...

Guillaume

this is pretty fantastic. I know some here were underwhelmed with Her Halo, and I understand. This has an urgency that maybe that ladt album lacked. For me, this will be album of year contender I don't understand at all cause Her Halo is their best one by far for me. New track sounds really good too.

Mob Rules jumps to mind first, I guess.... Maybe closer to latter era Maiden, but still...... Personally, I'd take Mob Rules over Machine Men or Voice any day of the week.

I personnally really enjoy all 3 bands! Voice is the less Maiden-ish of the 3 IMO.

Yannis is great but can't get the real Dio tone as he does for the others IMO. He sings the song really well, just doesn't sound a lot like Dio to me...

Guillaume

Larry, you've found a thing I love (almost as much as rum!) I watched this last week a few times and Tate is at his pinnacle! Everyone should love that performance. I watch a lot of reaction vids; King KTF is my current fav and it's from a pure fan, new to metal perspective. Dio - Holy Diver- https...

I checked out their stuff. Some really cool songs, some not so much. But an interesting band for sure.
I prefer The Night Flight Orchestra in that retro style...

Guillaume

SILVER BULLET - Mooncult Never heard of this band until today, but I'm really liking what I've heard so far - the entire album is full of great power metal anthems with lots of "ooomph", some nice epic orchestration, and a lyrical horror story concept kind of in the King Diamond or Iced Earth "Horr...

A bit too modern rock for me, but good for what it is indeed. These kids have potential. Especially the singer.

Well, I played the 2 songs and I'm not impressed. Thought it was quite boring. Not for me at all....

Yannis Papadopoulos covered many tracks. This dude can sing anything as it seems. From sounding like a girl to shriek and scream like a madman!

Speed is not really a factor on this album.

Guillaume

Nothing happy like Freedom Call in Avalanch IMO! Never ever thought about that band while playing them. Serenity, yes, maybe. Avalanch used to be "basic" power metal. On this album, music is more complex and they added some prog tendencies. LOL..... And better than the Frozen Crown tracks! :) Gotta...

Quite surprised by the lack of interest. This is quality stuff I play regularly since hearing it.

I've gone through all three songs and thought all of them were solid. Definitely a Dark Moor / Serenity vibe..... Little more balls and chunk than either one. Any idea if there is a physical release planned? Not finding a lot of info anywhere. Spanish version seems available on CD, don't know about...

There is absolutely no talk about this new album by the veteran metallers from Spain. They have powerhouse Mike Terrana on drums since a few years and also now release their albums both in Spanish and in English. Jorge Salan (also with the SOTO band) is on guitars, Dirk Schlater (Gamma Ray) is now t...
