... I also have really liked the new Crystallion.

That's a good and consistent album. Very bombastic and heavy guitar sound. The keyboards add a big plus on this CD. Among the best of the year for me... although I haven't heard all that much from 08.

BTW, Stormwarrior's "Heading Northe" is just great!

Ahhhhh!!! Ok, I'll get on some of these. As much as I can. Thanks guys.

I did

I am really enjoying the newest releases from Thy Majestie, Almah and Harmony, plus the Firewind and Gamma Ray dvds, the end of this year is good for power metal.
