CMX - Discopolis
CMX - Talvikuningas

Really good stuff.

Last month I acquired

- Cain's Offering - Gather The Faithful
- Thunderstone - Dirt Metal
- Anthrax - Among the Living
- Audioslave - Audioslave
- Freedom Call - Dimensions
- Twisted Sister - Come Out and Play
- Virgin Steele - Age of Consent
- Judas Priest - British Steel
- Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
- Tarot - The Spell of Iron and
- Whitesnake - Good to Be Bad.

I'm glad that, apart from two first of the list that are new albums, I spent only under 40 euros to the nine others.

Sonata Arctica - The Days of Grays

brilliant!

This year:
* Stratovarius - Polaris
* Primal Fear - 16.6 (Before The Devil Knows You're Dead)
* Dream Theater - Black Clouds & Silver Linings
* Sonata Arctica - The Days Of Grays
* AC/DC - Black Ice (at the very begnning of the year)
* Rata Blanca - El Reino Olvidado (Arg. Power Metal, also at the beginning)

Pretty nice year, so far

Just got the new Primal Fear. Sounds great, awesome riffs!

I haven't written for some time so...

Testament - Souls of black

Pretty good stuff, I bought this because of the title song which has the coolest intro ever.

Dir en grey - The marrow of a bone

I recently became a fan of this japanese band, great stuff I have to say though the album is pretty dark, twisted, and almost retarded, expect that the lyrics have meanings.
Clever Sleazoid is awesome stuff. <3

Megadeth - Youthanasia, original 1994 CD.
Sounds a lot better than the remixed & remastered version.

Slayer - World Painted Blood.

Holy crap, this album rocks harder than King Kong in a cage

Mandragora Scream - Volturna

Listening now Well, it's very different album comparing to previous ones...

Not so much better, but totally different for sure. I was surprised to hear major differences in my friend's Rust in Peace remastered version and the original. Some places are selling the originals for more now because they are out of print.

Bought the new Slayer. You'll most likely like it if you're a fan. Awesome drumming and heavy driving riffs as usual.

- Cain's Offering - Gather The Faithful (old news btw, but I haven't "reported it" here few months ago )
- Trans Siberian Orchestra - Night Castle (2 CD pack with 68 pages story book )

Just got Kamelot - The Fourth Legacy... Gonna listen to it right now!!

My last purchase wasn't actually an album, but a cassette version of Stratovarius - Episode.

I've been a fan of DT since late 2007 but since I went to see them in August I wanted to buy a few more of their CDs so I knew what I was going to hear beforehand

Hail DT and Dt's fans! I've been hearing them since "Falling Into Fantasy" era (2000, so for almost 9 years )

The last Dream Theater album I liked was Metropolis. But Awake/Images&Words are classics.

And speaking of classics, I have two questions:



1) Who do you think will win this fight?
2) Is the one in black wearing a bra?

Recently ordered:

Nocturnal Rites - Afterlife
Nocturnal Rites - New World Messiah
Dream Evil - Dragonslayer
Bruce Dickinson - Tattooed Millionare remaster
Bruce Dickinson - Tyranny Of Souls

Still in the process of re-building my CD collection.

How do you like it? Sucks that I can only find expensive imports of TSO albums in Finland.

Cool, prog nation was one of the best shows of the year from me. Zappa plays Zappa was amazing, and Steve Vai was a guest a the show; Zappa, Steve Vai and John Petrucci came out and did like a mini G3 for 15 minutes or so in LA

Haha, hail for sure! Maybe you've got too much Strato on the brain though; it's falling into infinity brother

I got an awful mix-up . Thanks for correcting. Just to make it equal:
Stratovarius and Dream Theater, the best bands EVER!!!!

I was thinking the black one might, but I noticed that the white one can easily get the black one off his/her feet in that position.

My order came in the mail today

Nocturnal Rites - Afterlife
Nocturnal Rites - New World Messiah
Dream Evil - Dragonslayer
Bruce Dickinson - Tattooed Millionare remaster
Bruce Dickinson - Tyranny Of Souls

And I forgot I had also ordered Nocturnal Rites - Shadowland

Kamelot - Karma
Kamelot - The Fourth Legacy
Mystic Prophecy - Satanic Curses

Kamelot - Black Halo (nice solos Jens!)
Sepultura - Live in Sao Paulo
Blind Guardian - Live

Cradle of Filth - Midian

Actually this was over a month ago, but I had so much to do that I forgot to listen to it more.
It infact is propably the best of theirs, or atleast one of the best among Cruelty and the beast and Damnation and a day.
(well hell yeah I love the other albums too)

Alestorm - Black sails at midnight

This is another kick ass album, not the best I've ever heard, not even close to Korpiklaani (except with a few songs), but this really is awesome album.
This is some stuff that should make one feel alive, (like powermetal but it's not like them atleast not completely.)

- Maailman Kauneimmat Joululaulut (Various Artists, feat. Tarja Turunen)
- To the Metal (Gamma Ray, special edition CD-DVD)

Hope the first one arrives this week, the second, have to wait until release

Celesty - Mortal Mind Creation
Great stuff

Leverage - Cicus Colossus
Even better. The best album of the year candidate and on of my favourite records of all time.
Fantastic.
