Metal Reviews

Some good stuff there MetalNess 8)

I figured it was a good time to complete my BG collection.
I still need to complete my Helloweeen collection, even after those purchases.

Recently bought:

Stratovarius - Elements 1 & 2 (DCD BOX)
Evergrey - The Inner Circle

Iron Maiden - Death on the Road
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Iron Maiden - Dance of Death
Iron Maiden - Piece of mind



Finally got myself some of their albums, found them all in a second hand cd store for cheap and had some cash on me and couldn't resist.

death on the road and dance of death( death everywhere :roll: ) deserve to be cheap but it's good to see you purchased some asskickin maiden 8)

Purchased: Admiral Freebe Songs, Zornik- One-armed-Bandit, Absynthe Minded- s/t, Savatage- Power of the Night, Iron Maiden- Rock in Rio(DVD)

I rather like dance of death, there were a few good songs on there - my favourite being Rainmaker. Death on the road was not that great, there were plenty of songs on there that I liked but I don't think it was bruce doing vocals (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm a bit of a newbie to Iron Maiden) and the recording wasn't as good as I expected from a band as huge as Maiden. That was really the only one of the albums I was dissapointed with.

Nevermore - Dead Heart In A Dead World

My fav Nev album.

Good purchase there!!!!!!!

Edguy - Mandrake

I just "updated" my copy of Rabbit Don't Come Easy by Helloween. My original excluded the song Do You Feel Good? I ripped the CD onto my computer, downloaded that song, and made a new copy with that song in place.

Indeed it is. And today I bought King Diamond's "The Puppet Master". I have not listened to it yet and I dunno what to expect, I just bought it blindly since I loved "House of God" so much. It also came with a DVD of some sort, niiice.

Machine Men - Elegies (Future order)
HammerFall - Legacy Of Kings
Iron Maiden - Killers
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Raven - All For One
Scorpions - 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection
Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys-Legacy (Future order)
Gamma Ray - Majestic


Just got paid.

Manowar - Louder Than Hell (yeah!)
Conan The Barbarian Soundtrack (double yeah!)
:twisted:

Nice list. Looks like you are getting some back catologue (collecting) i see. I also ordered Machine Men (Elegies) from theend to see what all the hype is about. I liked the last album.
I am huge Scorps fan but the last release was Ugh (Terrible). They need to stick to ballads and stop trying to rock-out anymore :(
I think that Hammerfall is their best one!

Savage Circus- Dreamland Manor
Primal Fear- Seven Sealsl
Icarus Witch- Capture the Magic
Noctural Rites- Grand Illusion
Highland Glory- Forever Endeavour
Wolfcry- Warfair
Helloween- Mrs God (Ep)
Manegarm- Vredens Tid
Odroerir- GotterLieder
Xandria- India

Very happy with the Epic old school power metal of Battleroar with some modern power touches. This album must be reviewed here!. This is a power metal album that all metal genre fans i think will like. The "happy", "hard" and "old school" fans alike. They must have been Ciruth Ungol and Warlord fans from back in the day.

Battleroar aye? I'll have to check these bitches out.

You weren't missing much.

I haven't bought an album in well over a week. I feel unclean.

Let us know how these ones are. I got Wolfcry's first album cheap on eBay, but I'm not that big a fan of it. Vocals were kind of weak back then, so I never did get their last one.

As for Icarus Witch, I've been waiting for this one for a while. Would you say to go for it?

Thanks.

Train of Thought - Dream Theater (great one!!!!)

YOu answered your own question.
The wolfcry only has a few good tracks (not worth the $12)
For some reason the singer is muffled behind the production (on a 3rd album?)
Of course, The Icarus Witch is a ver solid album throughout for old school true/heavy. It is easily worth the money
