2006 was a great year for Metal, and if you ask me, especially good for Powermetal.

Rather than comment on the year's releases, i'd like to take this opportunity to send my blessings to everyone who is reading this, especially the Metalreviews team, for being true to what they love. In a world where little comes free, and where trends and music are curbed by profit-hoarding industry, it is truly a beautiful thing to see people driven by a passion for music come together and support that which they love albeit the norm. My hat goes off to all of you, and may 2007 be the greatest year yet for Metal. Cheers!
