New Arch Enemy sounds pretty good

Hope the new album will be more heavy tho, not sure I like the soft whispery part around 3:35

New Arch Enemy - The music almost sounds like Dragonforce for most of the song. In fact I only like the small 3:00 to 3:50 section as an "Anthem of Rebellion" listener. Vocally there;s very little difference in the sound between Angela and the new girl (so bad at names) but how well they can still sound like that Live is always the deal breaker and Angela was great Live.

Accidentally clicked on a link in my Facebook and found this. Liked it.

First time listening to this. Not sure it's my cup of tea but this brought me here.

I like bits of this but it's a bit too thrashy for me.

This is more my cup of tea.

Enjoying ths one tho.

Heidevolk

Ah, Heidevolk - that brings back memories. Blurry memories, that is. My friends and I spent many a drunken night singing along with this:

I've only listened to about half of the new Iced Earth album and like it quite a bit this far. And I don't tend to listen to them a lot at all usually. I've also listened quite a bit to Powerwolf's live album from last year

They were a very good surprise when I saw them supporting Epica last year. Good band with some pretty good songs

ahh shame you dont like Entombed, that album is part of the birth of Death Metal, and their best work with 'Clandestine' a close second
i quite like king diamond and Judas Priest is completely missing from my collection in physical format. i really need to grab a few of their albums to add[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]

Been watching a few of the streams from Wacken the last days before going to work. Status Quo was a quite catchy set, now I'm checking out Heaven Shall Burn, a band I know by name but not musically but they are doing a pretty alright impression this far.

Not strictly metal/etc but good:

I got myself a full ticket to Wacken Open Air next year last night

Now I'm just waiting for Hellfest to release their tickets.
