Into The Light - Nuclear Blast Allstars

Sounds like they're taking Roadrunner's good idea and making it work:

Quote:

Happy Birthday, NUCLEAR BLAST! The label from Donzdorf, Germany, turns 20 in 2007 – and "Into The Light" is one of the company's first presents, given by no one else than RAGE composer and multi instrumentalist Victor Smolski. It was him who composed, arranged and recorded the album, with all in all ten songs based on a thrilling, solid Power Metal foundation. But the real highlights are the participants behind the microphones: Victor gathered a conglomeration of ten singers whose bands have been signed to NUCLEAR BLAST in the past 20 years or still are on the label's roster, among them Hansi Kürsch of BLIND GUARDIAN, NIGHTWISH's former singer Tarja Turunen, EDGUY's Tobi Sammet and HELLOWEEN'S Andi Deris.

All together, the NUCLEAR BLAST ALLSTARS created a haunting and remarkable album, reflecting different shades of musical emotions – hard & thrashy ('Bloodsuckers'), heavy & modern ('Eternally'), bombastic ('Death Is Alive') or catchy & powerful ('In The Picture'). Discover new shades and qualities of your favourite singers and enjoy this brilliant anniversary album together with your friends and NUCLEAR BLAST! As a special gift, "Into The Light" will be released as double-CD, featuring a bonus disc with classics, rare tracks and brand new songs.

Tracklist

01. Dirty Wings (feat. Tobias Sammet - EDGUY)
02. Terrified (feat. Peter “Peavy” Wagner - RAGE)
03. Ruling The World (feat. Tony Kakko - SONATA ARCTICA)
04. Death Is Alive (feat. Mats Leven - THERION / KRUX)
05. Bloodsucker (feat. Marcel “Schmier” Schirmer - DESTRUCTION)
06. Slaves To The Desert (feat. Hansi Kürsch - BLIND GUARDIAN)
07. A Perfect Day (feat. Andi Deris - HELLOWEEN)
08. Eternally (feat. Oddleif Stensland - COMMUNIC)
09. Inner Sanctuary (feat. Marco Hietala - NIGHTWISH / TAROT)
10. In The Picture (feat. Tarja Turunen - Ex-NIGHTWISH)

Also, watch out for Into The Light's dark twin Out Of The Dark, coming for you in the second half of 2007...

Fucking awesome! :dio:

Peavey and Schmier stick out like a sore thumb.

Yeah true, hopefully the music will be written to suit them. Schmier sounds like a fuicking idiot on that Elvenking song (oh noes don't hurt me NESS!)

I look forward to this.

Considering Victor Smolski wrote all the music I don't see how Peavey could stick out here.

Only because, like Schmier, he's not a Power Metal vocalist. duh. Nice to see that, as usual, everyone got it but you.

Yeah, because Rage have never played anything like power metal, huh? And Smolski isn't actually in Rage, huh? :lol:

Keep on thinking you've bested me again. Haha. Clown.

Considering the only point he was making is that Peavy and Schmier have very different vocals styles to all the others, I would say that he has.

I never intented to "best" you, but leave to a self-important twat such as yourself to think that the entire E-World revolves around you and your penchant for arguing with people on the net. I was just making a light-hearted joke but your an over serious dipshit who would spend a lot of time talking to himself if this site had an ignore function. I suspect that's why you keep coming back, because other boards wisely do for individuals such as yourself. Get a life.

It's not like Peavey sounds like the rest of the people on the list, which was the point I was making, weirdo.

Did he say that? Surely I don't recall reading that at all. He simply said they stood out like sore thumbs.

I never intented to "best" you, in fact I could really care less about a self important twat such as yourself. the internet isn't a competition to me. It's not like the dude sounds like the rest of the people on the list, which was the point I was making, weirdo.

But you didn't make that point. What you said was vague and could have many meanings. Maybe your inner faggot came out and you simply think Peavy is unnattractive.

I listen to Rage. And it was being light hearted anyways.

Well, I wasn't the one that started slinging insults, so I would say you're a bit off in that assessment. :rolleyes:

I did win, though.

Again.

O M G @_@

Anyway, isnt this a little like that Roadrunner thing from last year or the year before?

Yup. But hopefully a little less well... shit. I did like King Diamond's song on there though.
