Metal Reviews

Looks like the now playing thread was more of a hit than a miss; let's see how this one does. Enjoy.

Today I got:

Hate Forest - Purity (At last!!!)

Anorexia Nervosa - Redemption Process (Limited Digipack Edition with bonus track)

This guys' previous release, which is the only one I've heard surprised me quite a bit, kind of a French version of nowadays Dimmu Borgir, so I was expecting this release. A review will come in the near future.

Mercenary - 11 Dreams
Eternal Tears of Sorrow - A Virgin and A Whore

some time ago, a month or so. I'm not exactly swimming in money right about now.

11 Dreams kicks ass! But i must say that EToS (which I bought solely out from the review on metalreviews.som) really disappointed me. Really. Prophetian was a cool song, and then the rest quickly became uninteresting, and soulless. This site gave it 95 or something! I would have given it 45 or something right about that. If not lower.

Last three purchases:

Angra- Rebirth (got this used)
Iron Savior - Iron Savior (took a while for me to find someone who had it in stock)
Therion - Beyond Sanctorum (re-issue: heard the original on tape many years ago, thought it was time to get it on CD)

This one slays ALL the way. Symphony of the Dead, hell yeah!!!

Nightwish - Once
Council of the Fallen - Deciphering the Soul

Neal Morse - One; Symphonic Prog Rock with great magical moments of musicianship, but some overlty sweet melodies.

Time Reqiuem - Inner Circle of Reality.

Enchant - Live at Last.

Porcupine Tree - The Sky Move Sideways; Psychedelic Prog Rock. Ear-openers are helpful for maximum pleasure.

Karmacanic - Wheel of Live; Great review here at metalreviews.com

Rhapsody - SoEL II.

Wintersun; Not as good as the review suggested - at least in my ears.


Ey, it looks like I'm swimming in money ^^

Hrm.

Turisas - Battle Metal
Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction remix/remaster
Threshold - Subsurface
Sonata Arctica - Reckoning Night

Hm, must be forgetting something.

Emperial Live Ceremony by Emperor
Hlidskjalf/i] by Burzum

I'm also going to get [i]Prosatanica Shooting Angels or Crushing Some Beligan Scum by Nargaroth sometime soon, after I figure out how to use No Colours screwy buying system.

Anyone who speaks german want to help me with this?

I previewed three CDs at the listening station: Sentenced/Frozen, Theatre of Tragedy/Aegis and Mastodon/Leviathan. It turned out to be a toss up between Sentenced and Theatre.. in the end I thought Sentenced (despite the lyrical content) was a little more 'upbeat'. I will probably pick up Aegis next week as 'exquisite' came to mind as I was listening to it. Mastodon sounded interesting; but a little too harsh for my mood today.

Ordered Skyclad/A Semblance of Normality so I have something to look forward to.

That one is on my short list of CDs to buy... soon hopefully.

Last 4 purchases:

1. Threshold - Subsurface (Best prog album I've heard in a while)

2. Dio - Master of the Moon (Not that great of a CD, but I'm a huge Dio fan)

3. Lost Horizon - A Flame to the Ground Beneath (Wanted to see what the big deal was. Good album)

4. Ashes to Ashes - Cardinal VII (I've wanted to buy this for a while now)

I do speak german but I don't get the system either.
I could even make a fake purchase without typing any adress; well...

Nevertheless, I could make the purchase by phone for you and then send it over. Please send cash first and then ... trust me! :twisted: :twisted:

Black Metal ist nicht Krieg sondern Hirnverbrannt ;-)

If I have to go though with transfering like that I'd rather download the albums first and wait and just get the new Darkthrone or one of the Xasthur albums that came out this year first.

Man, I'm really struggling to get Prosatanica, fuck, I really wan't to get my hands on it.

Anyway, all the albums you mentioned Zeffron are superb, good luck getting those.

Also expect reviews for the new Xasthur and Darkthrone soon, as for Nargaroth's, as soon as I can get it.

Yeah, I just heard the Prosatanica, awesome album. Not quite up to snuff with Nargaroth's other albums, but then again Kanwulf's other three albums would be hard to match.

Full Devil Jacket
Tiamat - Wildhoney

FDJ is something. i was suprised. allthough, i fail to define their style... bits of everything, yet, sometimes hardly could be called metal. anyway, good work.

wildhoney... well, my favourite of tiamat. finally, got a copy of my own

Barathrum - Legions Of Perkele

Had this album in MP3 for some time and decided it was worth buying it as well !!! Great great album !!!

"DARK SORCERESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!"

:twisted:

Graveland - The Celtic Winter

One of my favorite Graveland albums, at last I could find a copy; I hate having great albums stored as MP3s in my computer.

"Pink Bubbles Goes Ape" by Helloween.

What was I thinking? I love every Helloween album my ears have had the pleasure of listening to, but I guess that's why I didn't listen to this or Chamelion.

Oh well, I won't be buying any albums for awhile after this, Metroid Prime 2 comes out this week. Losing $50 means no CDs for awhile.
