Calling All Metal Fans

[DoomRider]

Iron Maiden ~

Sooooooo good! I haven't seen them in years (last time they were in Charlotte they played all of Seventh Son). The songs off Book of Souls fit right in with their older material. Even though the members are in their 60's, they would put most modern bands to shame. I mean, Bruce runs around like a frickin' mad man.

Plus, the new Mayan theme (off Book of Souls) is awesome. The whole stage set up is pretty amazing and very involved.

Needless to say, if this band comes to your town. Go! It is not some nostalgia act playing a complete setlist of songs from 1975.

Here is the setlist they are playing on this tour if interested:

sadly, the closest they will come to me would likely be at least 400 km away...the problem with not living in southern finland any more....

xandria's Theater of dimensions is on my playlist a lot these days, it's just a great album and seems to really marry the band with the new vocalist.

[BikerMatt]

Dude, you GOT to hear this!

If I were asked about the makings of Crimfall I`d say add half of Nightwish, one Eluveitie, a generous pour of Epica, blend and garnish with Wintersun.

Symphonic, epic, storytelling, moodsetting... I don`t even remember when, if ever, I`ve been nailed to the seat to listen through an entire album only to rise up for a refill of beer.

 

[Kharnynb]

Crimfall is nice, it's actually a few guys I know, wish they had gone with wilska as male vocal instead though.

 

[BikerMatt]

Interesting, my neighbor gave me the album to listen, saying one of the guys is his friend (didn`t say who though)

 

[BikerMatt]

^ The neighbor's friend is told to be Sakke Viitala. Conveniently the neighbor happens to owe me twenty euros so I casually mentioned to him I'm keeping the CD

 

[Kharnynb]

Living in Finland, you soon get used to the "everyone knows everyone somehow" principle.

My wife, for example, went to school with tapio wilska.

And quite unsurprisingly some names like Timo Kotipelto and Tony Kakko are told to be friends etc. Oh and I'm supposed to be related to this Lauri Törni guy know Apulanta? Was funny watching the movie knowing most of the filming locations.

Daym this Amain album is good, listening to it while cleaning the garage for a packed up brew weekend.

Savonlinna is actually one of the cities in Finland I've never visited, hoping to fix that next summer by bike, would be nice to meet!

Enslaved - Lightening

Love me some EW. I have this new one on vinyl but haven't spun it yet. Waiting to get my turntable back from the restoration service in a few weeks.

[Radboud]

 

[triethylborane]

popped up on yt recommended, brutal riffs, rammstein clearly listened to this

 

[BikerMatt]

Went to a rather different kind of a Christmas concert last night with the wifey. I don't normally care much about Christmas carols but if they're being performed with double neck SG:s, massive guitar walls, huge pyrotechnics and sang by a group of frontline Finnish metal singers like Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica) Floor Jansen & Marco Hietala (Nightwish) and J.P. Leppäluoto (Charon, Northern Kings, Harmaja) then heck yea count me in! My ears rang the entire night when we got home as I didn't figure out woulda been a good idea to get some ear plugs with me. But anyhow had a really good time, we left during the last encore so we could sneak out before the massive traffic jam.

 

[Kharnynb]

Sweet, Floor was cute singing finnish ;D (saw them in savonlinna salli)

 

[BikerMatt]

Lahti halli here We were supposed to get the privilege of listening to the sweet sweet voice of Ari Koivunen but ooh the woe and calamity he happened to call in sick so we had to endure Tony instead

 

[myndflyte]

...sang by a group of frontline Finnish metal singers like Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica) Floor Jansen & Marco Hietala (Nightwish) and J.P. Leppäluoto (Charon, Northern Kings, Harmaja) then heck yea count me in.

That sounds amazing.

A bit of a hassle in the above mentioned Christmas concert series yesterday when a large ventilation tube fell in the middle of the crowd Fortunately, nobody was severely injured.

[Kharnynb]

I'm sort of dissapointed in "Khram", it's to much the same, the constant guitar drone is getting boring after 3-4 songs.

I wish it was closer to "goi, rode, goi" or "slovo"
