[Apopcalyptic]

I couldn't help myself

How could anyone resist the charms of Rob Halford?

One for all those Strapping Young Lad fans : I really prefer Devin's solo stuff

 

[bloodiedathame]

You heard The Devin Townsend Project stuff, Ki and Addicted! ?

Really good albums, very different but Devin genius none the less.

 

[Johno please?]

This guy is awesome, hes also done covers of just about every one of my favourite metal bands.

 

[Mr.Nick]

Im loving At The Gates atm

 

[Lysander]

Im loving At The Gates atm

[Johno please?]

Yea! cant beat a bit of At The Gates.

Just got into these guys, love this song.

From 2:25 :O Makes me want to punch babies in the face.

 

[Gothic Draconia]

I can't believe thats the same drummer who now has long black hair and plays in my favourite band lol

I like how only one band on that album could be classed as Heavy Metal

Sonata Arctica and Delain in Islington tonight were great. Sonata Artica tellingly got a better response when playing older stuff than material from Days of Grays/Unia (apart from a small segment of the crowd who only seemed to know these two albums).

Delain were also top notch considering how small they are here in the UK, got thier [new] album as it's not out over here for another month or two, but has been out in europe for months, and cost as much to buy as merch as it does to import the damned thing. I can see them doing reasonably well in the symphonic metal circles over the next few years if they don't quit or implode, having some links to Within Temptation will probably help them there.

Winterborn were decent but you could tell they were the smaller/less practiced of the 3 bands


More shocking for me was the damned train ticket from MK cost more than the ticket for the actual gig!

Ok, so that was more Pinky Floyd rock ..

 

[NickK]

Really like this song now:

Love the way it just drops down into the chorus and the calm of eye of the storm in the middle.

Paradise Lost?

 

[Johno please?]

 

[Gothic Draconia]

Paradise Lost?

Yes

 

[Johno please?]

Bow down people....

I saw this too, I'm incredibly depressed however as I have no friends who like metal - thus nobody to go with

Going to that festival would be the highlight of my year!

Haha no don't, it's not really my kind of thing. But I'm sure one or two people here will be going.
