Radical Dreamer

Agnosys - Towards a Crimson Gorged Progeny Another good Death Metal Band. I guess i should listen to more Death Metal again...

I hope that will not affect their new Single "鳥籠御殿 〜L’Oiseau bleu〜", scheduled for the End of July.

Yay! Nice to see that they are active again. I almost began to believe they disbanded. I hope the new Release will be promising, after their "long" Hiatus.

Sodom - Stalinorgel

It´s the first Time i ever listened to TBDM and the new Album "Ritual" is quite intriguing. But i would not call it Metalcore. It sounds more like technical and melodic old school Göteborg-Death Metal Style to me. But maybe that depends on how one does define Metalcore. I love the Aggressiveness and the well worked out Melodies, that never sound cheesy or cheap. Its probably the best Death Metal Release this Year, besides Obscura's "Omnivium" Album of course.

Finally got through "Resonance of Fate" and now playing "Tales of Vesperia".

Winterhorde - Farewell What a beautiful Song.

I just read the Artists Guestlist for the upcoming DTP Album and it´s quite intriguing. Carach Angren - And The Consequence Macabre

The Concert in Cologne was awesome! They started the Gig with "Ouka Saki Some Ni Keri" and "Schwarzschild". I didn't expect such a strong Opening. They played their strongest and heaviest Songs, only one "Ballad", which i can`t remember right now and a nice Drum Solo. The Signing Session was fun too, shaking Hands with the Group, saying hello... Ruiza had a lot of Fun, while hide-zou seemed to be a little bit exhausted. I bought the little Flags for 10 Euros *lol* and they signed them afterwards. If i had known that they sell the Flags, i would have tried to learn this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85JpU92X ... re=related lol

Unexpect - Orange Vigilantes The new Song sounds incredibly good. Can't wait to hear the new Album. http://unexpect.viinyl.com/

"Between The Burried And Me" are truly awesome. How good they really are can be heard if you listen to Songs like "Sun Of Nothing" or "Mirrors", which show the Diversity of the Vocals as well as the Guitarplay. I would not call them "epic", but they sure have an Understanding of how to pull off a good Balance of progressive, brutal and melodic Elements. They even remind me of Chuck Schuldiner to some extent.The only Thing that sucks about them sometimes is when they get lost in Mathcore/Breakdown kind of shit for too long. I haven't heard their new EP yet, but looking forward to do so.

Deathwatch Beetle Repairman - The Carny Of Mr. Dark

Resonance of Fate Most hilarious Scene

OMG, Dragon Quest 10 for Wii/360/PS3 would be awesome! I hope they will think about doing so in the Future and make an End to this mobile Madness. I can´t stand these handheld Releases anymore...

Yep, one of my favorite western Bands. They often tend to get excessive, but its not really that bad, writing Songs that do not repeat their Refrains over and over. I like the 70`s progressive Rock Elements and Åkerfeldts Vocals a lot. And they are awesome when playing live. New Album will be out at the End of the Year. They actually got a new Keyboarder, so i am curious how he will be involved during their recording Session.

After the long Time of waiting and hoping, "Xenoblade", the most anticipated Wii-RPG besides "The last Story" will finally be localized for Europe. A North America Release is still uncertain, though. The european Version will be known as "Xenoblade Chronicles". Nintendo already launched a Teaser-Site: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/gam ... 32583.html There's no Release Date yet, but it should be coming within 2011.

Asmodée - Wolf And Hatred (Ulver Cover)

Mistur - Svartsyn

The only really long Songs in the japanese Department i can think of at the Moment are: Merry - Gekisei (15:12) Sound Horizon - Meiou (8:08) Asaki - Shinkyoku (9:26) Sendai Kamotsu - Otokotachi No Banka (8:31) Other nice Songs are: Opeth - The Moor (11:26) Opeth - In The Mist She Was Standing (14:09) Opeth - The Lotus Eater (8:48) Opeth - The Drapery Falls (10:54) Mirrorthrone - No One By My Side (10:26) Leprous - Disclosure (11:04) Pensées Nocturnes - Hel (9:59) Orakle - Limminence Du Terrible (8:09) Artefact - Gargoyles Unleashing (7:25) Todtgelichter - Moloch (8:11) Abigor - Time Is The Sulphur In The Veins Of The Saint - Part I (19:42) / Part II (18:30) to mention some of my favorite longer Tracks...

Obscura - Vortex Omnivium Nice Balance between melodic, brutal and technical Elements. Very good Death Metal.

Winterhorde - Farewell Beautiful, melodic, progressive Black Metal ...haven't heard anything this good for a long Time.

Windir - 1184

Vulture Industries - The Hangman's Hatch

I loved Enslaved from the very start. Even in the Beginning of the Black Metal Scene in Norway, they were always something special and outstanding. Even today i like these old Tunes from the "Vikingligr Veldi" and "Frost" Albums, which really gave a good impression of the harsh Nature, combined with this Viking Metal Thing. And i loved to see how they developed and grew up into something more mature. The progressive Elements got stronger from Album to Album and the unusual Chord Progressions in each Song transforms every new Release to something very interesting to hear. It never gets boring, because of the unpredictable songwriting. The "Axioma Ethica Odini" Album is their best Effort so far. But all the other Albums are great too. You have to sacrifice some Time to get into each Album, though. Wonderful Band!
