According to IronMaiden.com the band’s recent release Flight 666 has been a huge success all over the world. This is taken directly from the band’s press release. -In the USA it was not only No.1 debut but also the highest selling first week sales of any music DVD so far in 2009! This release closely […]
Shining VI/Klagopsalmer delayed… again
According to a very helpful commenter on this blog I was actually given more information on Shining’s long-awaited record VI/Klagopsalmer. Here’s the press release from Osmose Productions: SHINING : due to technical printing problems with the booklet the CD version might be available for the 23rd. Same problem with the vinyl version excepted [sic] we […]
Angry Metal Guy’s First Breakthrough
I was looking at my stats today and was surprised to see a site that I hadn’t been anticipating: an incoming link from Wikipedia. I was pretty stoked to see this, apparently I’ve been referenced on Wikipedia in reference to my Amorphis review! I had been in contact with their webmaster, and I’ve had tremendous success with that review (as in, people find it randomly on search engines more than any other post I’ve produced thus far). I actually revealed on this website, before any other site, that they had problems with the digi-pack CDs, but not only that they referenced the citations about the theme of the album.

Updating Twitter and Listening to Fleshgod Apocalypse
So what the hell? I’ve installed a new thing that sends stuff to Twitter, but it seems to be hyperactive. And it doesn’t seem to work with pre-published posts very well. If anyone has any tips as to a better way to auto-update Twitter, let me know! Also, listening to Fleshgod Apocalypse. Pretty good, actually.
Non-Metal Stuff That’s Pretty Metal: #2
Here’s a totally awesome video from BioWare (again) that is too metal for it’s fucking pants.
Pain of Salvation – The Second Death of Pain of Salvation

Non-Metal Stuff That’s Pretty Metal: #1
I think this trailer for The Old Republic wins at this game. Holy crap.
Crimfall – As the Path Unfolds…
“For fans of Turisas, Finntroll and Nightwish,” the advertisement read. How could I possibly pass that up? I’m definitely a fan of Turisas and Finntroll, though, Nightwish I’ve pretty much been able to do without—sans diva or not. But reading that tagline, I wondered how any band could actually manage to blend these three bands into one cohesive whole. “No,” I thought to myself, “it’s really not possible to do in a convincing manner.” Apparently, and to my great dissatisfaction, I was wrong.
Stratovarius – Polaris
Stratovarius are serious veterans of good ol’ fashioned Euro Power Metal and despite the never-ending rush of silliness that surrounded this band for roughly the last three years–they have still managed to put out an album of middling quality in time. A record of middling quality, you say? Why yes, says I. All Stratovarius records are of middling quality, some are just more middling than others. Some say that this band is the pinnacle of all Finnish power metal bands–but if one listens to Polaris they’d never know that.
