Re: Timo Tolkki to perform Strato/RR songs
Sounds all the same to me. Looks like after all those years I still haven't learned to appreciate metal enough to get what is good playing and what is bad. Good to see TT doing what he loves.
Timo, I have noticed you, by the way.

Re: CAIN'S OFFERING TOUR!!!
Damn, I seem to have picked the perfect time to move out of Japan...
And the worst thing is that we probably won't even get any fan recordings from there.

They actually put the album available for download on Japanese Amazon last night, I've listened to it today. Well, I liked it a lot.

Re: Nightwish - Endless Forms Most Beautiful
So, here are two cents more. There's been a lot of discussion about the album, even before it leaked in its entirety. People were mainly complaining about Floor's "weak" vocals on Elan. I honestly cannot understand such claims, perhaps because I've long become indifferent to all kinds of headbanging...

Well, in 2014 he pulled out a not so great Avalon II and also a pretty good Allen/Lande album, if you missed those two. He also did not seem to engage in any internet fights, so I suppose that dude is doing fine))

Just happened to notice that we've missed Jens's birthday this year. Shame on us, really!
So, Jens, just one year more - and I'll be half of your age. So, let's keep this fraction increasing, hopefully with some great music provided by your side

Re: Best post-Strato Tolkki album?
Happened to listen to the Allen/Lande album. It sounds really refreshing for me. After the Avalons I thought that I'm not interested in Tolkki's music anymore. Of course, on the Great Divide he is still very repetitive, but it feels like some of his melodies never get old)))

Re: tolkki samples
This album is Tolkki's worst metal album ever. Self Titled was an ill-advised style shift that Tolkki wasn't terribly interesting with, but this album is just embarassing. "Rise of the Fourth Reich" sounds every bit as bad as "Father" off of Hymn to Life, the epic is underwhelming. I'd say maybe 2-...

But my absolute favorite goth band is Lacrimosa:
