Chris's words about 2007
  1. Having spent a lot of time on the upcoming V2 of metalreviews I couldn't review all the albums on my list. I will do some of these reviews in the coming weeks hopefully. 2007 also marked the return of X-Japan with their new single IV, and I can't wait for more from them in 2008, hopefully, even though not announced, a new album would be great. 2007 was another great metal year, but I sense 2008 might actually be even better, from the few awesome promos I've listened to already that is. Happy New Year 2008 and In Metal We Trust !
