Welcome..

But try to use more dots when you write. And commas. They're actually useful in understanding the meaning of sentences

Captial letters can be useful too.
Welcome, and it's always great to see more Strato fans from the U.S. I hail from the mean streets of Jersey. Anyone else going to ProgPower? I can't wait to see Strato live again!! Had the chance to see them in Helsinki and never thought they'd make it here. :bounce1:

Welcome rtype, It's fun to make more friends here

Well, though they are not symphonic I suppose, Sonata Arctica is a great band. Their band website is http://www.sonataarctica.info. Meanwhile, if you are interested in listening to Progressive Metal, I would recommend Dream Theater or Symphony X. There's also Shadow Gallery, but I don't like em so much.
