Last Saturday
Luca Turilli - King of the Nordic Twilight
Arrived by mail.

And yesterday, I finally received
Luca Turilli - Prophet of the Last Eclipse (Limited Edition)

The last one only cost me €5, probably as compenstation for the waiting (I ordered and payed it on September 9!!!)

Dethklok - Dethalbum II

Whether or not your consider Dethklok to be a real band, you have to admit that they're fucking awesome

Unfortunately I don't get round to buying many CD's nowadays. I simply don't have the time (much like why I'm rarely here anymore). I think that, if it were not for Spotify, I would not listen to any new music... I think I may buy a CD or two next week, so if anyone could recommend some decent power metal I would be happy

Over the past week:

Blind Guardian - Live
Blind Guardian - Another Stranger Me MCD
Demons & Wizards - Demons & Wizards
Demons & Wizards - Touched by the Crimson King (ltd. 2 CD edition)
Steve Lukather - Ever Changing Times
Nuclear Blast Allstars - Into the Light
Rhapsody - Triumph or Agony (ltd. edition)
Rhapsody - Visions from the Enchanted Lands DVD
Savage Circus - Dreamland Manor
Luca Turilli - Ancient Forest of Elves MCD

Some of them I got as a present, others I bought myself.
And next week, more will come. After that, I will take it easy

Excalion - Primal Exhale
An awesome album that blew my mind.
My face is just melted by some awesome solos in Megalomania and My Legacy and Obsession to Prosper.
I have never heard anything like that.
Also Temptation Wasteland took me by suprise. It turned out to be a killer song.
It is impossible to pick a bad song but overall some of them suffer of some too complicated structures.
It is not as ready, steady or complete creation as Waterlines but certaintly an amazing album that should be better available.

Firewind - Between heaven and Hell (re-release with also the japan bonus track along with the demo bonuses)
My first impression was that it is good.
Some great guitar work and well even though I liked the vocals on few songs a lot they did not impress me on some others.
The album has some variety but overall the songs are in a way pretty similar guitar driven usually fast metal songs.
The album is very raw and a bit amature but still it has some skillful execution of good songs.
It was where it started evolving and leading what it is nowadays. Certaintly an album worth making and most importantly worth listening.


Stratovarius - Elements pt.1 (original copy from 2003)
A lot more Symphonic than I expected.
A lot of really high vocals a lot of speed and a big bunch of great melodies and feelings.
A really good release. though I like pt. 2 just as much even though it has some not so good songs in it it still is awesome.
pt. 1 on the other hand has no bad songs. Yet it was a massive well executed masterpiece and will take some time to take form in my mind.


all this for less than 25€.
Admit it it was a real find.

I will come to write reviews for those two once I have some more listens through the albums.
So awesome!

LAST ALBUM I BOUGHT? DYING FETUS DESCEND INTO DEPRAVITY. PRICE: 10 EUROS.
FOR ALL OF YOU THAT MIGHT NEVER HEARED DYING FETUS, IN SHORT LINES: AMERICAN DEATH METAL BAND, SINCE 1991, KNOWN FOR THEIR OUTSPOKEN POLITICAL VIEWS, AND BEING ONE OF THE FEW DEATH METAL BAMDS WHO FOLLOW A POLITICAL NATURE.

^It's a pity they have politics as a subject. And that they're a death metal band

Anyway here goes:

Blind Guardian - Fly MCD
Olympos Mons - Conquistador
Revolution Renaissance - New Era (€7 )
Rhapsody - Emerald Sword MCD (for free, but without booklet)
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Night Castle

Came back from Germany a few hours ago:

Alestorm - Leviathan
Alestorm - Black Sails at Midnight

Sometimes it seems like you own this topic!
Since Sonata Arctica's The days of Grays I haven't bought a new album.

My to buy list is growing and growing but I'm not buying anything.
Just a bit longer and I will start buying stuff again and then comes christmas and so on.

Tyr - How Far to Asgaard
Korpiklaani - Korven Kuningas
Korpiklaani - Karkelo

I get to see both bands in January
