Words / Final Thoughts

0

— All and all a great metal year, but I'm looking forward to 2007, hopefully it will see the new Avantasia project from Tobi, can't wait ! The most anticipated release for 2007 for me is : The new Wintersun album, 6 months seems soooooo freaking long. This band could very much be my all-time favorite band if they manage to deliver a better album than their debut which was quite extraordinary if you ask me. Also awaited, the next Kamelot, Lost Horizon (did they find a singer yet ?), Nightwish (how will it sound without prima-dona Tarja ?),... etc. Well, lost of goods coming in 2007, but most of all, while non-metal related, I simply CAN'T freaking wait for the sixth season of 24 to start, damn this is the best show on TV of all-time, P-E-R-I-O-D ! Jack is back January 14th ! Have a great year 2007 everyone, May the force be with you, Chris In Metal We Trust !

Also awaited, the next Kamelot, Lost Horizon (did they find a singer yet ?), Nightwish (how will it sound without prima-dona Tarja ?),... etc. Well, lost of goods coming in 2007, but most of all, while non-metal related, I simply CAN'T freaking wait for the sixth season of 24 to start, damn this is the best show on TV of all-time, P-E-R-I-O-D ! Jack is back January 14th ! Have a great year 2007 everyone, May the force be with you, Chris In Metal We Trust !

— I wish all the best for my family, especially my brother Chris (be this year the year of resurrection). No time for reviews once again this year. We cannot have everything in life. I am now very happy and successful with my new job, leaving me very little time for www.metalreviews.com. The good thing is that our child (Chris and myself created this website) is supported by wonderful dedicated human being. So as I am saying each year, the real "heroes" of the site are these guys scarifying a part of their week-end and share with you (readers) their passion of Metal !!! Long Live Metal.

— I wish all the best for my family, especially my brother Chris (be this year the year of resurrection). No time for reviews once again this year. We cannot have everything in life. I am now very happy and successful with my new job, leaving me very little time for www.metalreviews.com. The good thing is that our child - Chris and myself created this website - is supported by wonderful dedicated human being. So as I am saying each year, the real "heroes" of this site are these guys scarifying a part of their week-end to share with you (readers) their music passion :-) Another great metal year is coming ahead: Metallica, Manowar, Dimmu Borgir, Kiss (?), AC/DC (?), System of a Down, Grave Digger, Sabatton, Edguy, Iced Earth, Kamelot, Heaven and Hell, Machine Head, Gamma Ray, etc, etc). Death, Thrash, Power, Heavy, Melodic, Black, Indus, Prog, Celtic, Folk, Viking, AOR, Doom, Dark, Melancholic ... ... Long Live Metal !!!

3403 — Old schoolers proove that it doesn't take a new twist on metal, orchestrations, female backing vocals, or complex arrangements to deliver a fantastic heavy metal album. The band dedicated this album to orginal vocalist David Wayne, who recently passed away. With that motivation, they've delivered a heavy metal classic that would surely make David very proud.

Still, I do enjoy the soaring power metal of the band's earlier albums, but Tobias shows that he can full a fine rock album out of his pocket.

3483 — Wow.... The subpar Thickskin coupled with Sebastian Bach's absence from the band had already left Skid Row on life support. Now, this mish-mash of hillbilly / punk / modern rock renders Skid Row irrelevant and a parody of their former selves. If any other 80's bands would like to tarnish their fine legacies and become a modern day joke, see Skid Row.

Materialistic Society — Our society has become so obsessed with material possesions. The Corporate world tries to brainwash us into believing that any major or minor holiday requires that you bestow gifts upon your loved ones in order to show that you care. Diamonds for Easter? Cars for Christmas gifts? Seriously?! Instead, How about we show our loved ones what they mean to us by our every day actions and give the corporations the finger? Instead of talking to your parents only on Mother's Father's Day and at major holidays, give them a call or visit out of the blue for no reason at all. That will mean more than the Home Depot gift certificate you give them for Christmas. Oh, and Mr. BMW / Mercedes driver, you aren't better than everyone else because of the car you drive. You can't take it with you. The only thing you take with you is your soul when you leave this Earth.

With politicians holding private parties for lobbyists and accepting millions in campaign funding from special interest groups, the common man is rendered insignificant in today's political world. Your vote doesn't count unless you have the money to back it up.

— For me, 2006 was a much stronger year for great music than 2005. I found myself trimming a lot more killer albums from my list at the end of this year than last year. While it's always hard to finalize a list such as this, it's satisfying to realize that there is a healthy amount of great music for the year to indulge in.

Top Albums

1.
3525 — I love Immortal's "Sons of Northern Darkness" and this album is probably the closest thing to it. Best described as Bathory meets Immortal, it was a release that came into the race late but finished on top for me!

3313 — This band does for me what The Darkness did a few years back. They offer something fresh and exciting to the rock world. They bring the best characteristics of late 60's and early 70's rock and bring it into the new millenium only to give you flashbacks of times long gone but not forgotten.

3490 — I felt that Jon Oliva's vocals started to go down hill with the Savatage release "Streets". You could start to hear him straining more and more and it was evident on the next release that a new vocalist (Zak Stevens) was much needed to help bring Savatage to the next level. I give Jon credit for taking a solo career. This album really reminds me of the older Savatage albums like "Gutter Balet" and "Hall of the Mountain King".

3271 — On paper the idea sounded good. The end result for me was not. Dio sounds tired, the music is in a flat key, etc. Overall I feel they should have released something from his prime, not something most current. I do have to give him credit for still making the effort at an age where most would me in a wheel chair or incapacitated in some way

Words / Final Thoughts

— Out of all the years I've had to compile my yearly awards list, this one seems to be the toughest for me. During the first six months of the year, there were very few albums that grabbed me. It's now been another six months and I can still come to the same conclusion. When I use the term "grabbed", I refer to it as any album that can get some kind of reaction out of me, whether it be positive or negative. Alot of albums I listened to this year did neither. There could be other factors as to why many releases of 2006 didn't click with me. Time is always a factor; trying to free some of it up in order to really dedicate a fair listen and try to absorb what is being played. There are probably numerous releases that went under my radar that could have well deserved a few spins. Only word of mouth, discussion boards or news of some kind would have helped these appear on my scope. In any case, I tried to compile my list the best I could. Aside from the top 5, everything else is really in no particular order..... I also want to thank all of my metal brothers and sisters at Metal Reviews for all of their support and the endless dedication and effort they put into Metal Reviews. I also want to thank the readers for reading the reviews and participating in the discussions. Here's to 2007! I hope it's better than 2006!   Jeff

Aside from the top 5, everything else is really in no particular order..... The following releases would be albums that didn't make the list but do deserve an honorable mention: Hallow's Eve "History of Terror" Box Set (for this box set to even see the light of day as remastered with a bunch of rare tracks was definately something that stoked me!) Pearl Jam "Pearl Jam" (another good comeback album, concentrating on getting back to a more rock oriented style.) Beyond Fear "DTO" (nice to see "Ripper" Owens doing something that showcases what he can do without being in already established acts.) Cheap Trick "Rockford" (another classic rock band that keeps on rocking; their sound never seems to age.) Motörhead "Kiss of Death" (just when you thought these guys have done it all, they still show that they had THE ACE OF SPADES up their sleeve!) Circle II Circle "Burden of Truth" (very good melodic heavy metal, probably their best yet) Attacker "The Unknown" (another underground heavy metal band from the 80's that has reformed to try and continue what they started. Excellent American made power metal!) Cronian "Terra" (this avant garde/progressed out album probably deserved to be in my top 15 just based on the 90 / 100 score, but like I said earlier, these listings are really in no particular order after the first top few.) Hammers of Misfortune "The Locust Years" (it's because of Alex's review for Metal Reviews that I learned about this band. I really like Slough Feg and like progressive metal, especially with some NWOBHM thrown in the mix. Thanks dude!) Cradle of Filth "Thornography" (I really like the direction the Filth have taken last few albums: less bombastic blast beat stuff and screaming til you up-chuck your vocal chords, and more melody and more memorable song passages. The shit is still erie and as gothic as ever!) I also want to thank all of my metal brothers and sisters at Metal Reviews for all of their support and the endless dedication and effort they put into Metal Reviews. I also want to thank the readers for reading the reviews and participating in the discussions. Here's to 2007! I hope it's better than 2006!   Jeff

— Out of all the years I've had to compile my yearly awards list, this one seems to be the toughest for me. During the first six months of the year, there were very few albums that grabbed me. It's now been another six months and I can still come to the same conclusion. When I use the term "grabbed", I refer to it as any album that can get some kind of reaction out of me, whether it be positive or negative. Alot of albums I listened to this year did neither. There could be other factors as to why many releases of 2006 didn't click with me. Time is always a factor; trying to free some of it up in order to really dedicate a fair listen and try to absorb what is being played. There are probably numerous releases that went under my radar that could have well deserved a few spins. Only word of mouth, discussion boards or news of some kind would have helped these appear on my scope. In any case, I tried to compile my list the best I could. Aside from the top 5, everything else is really in no particular order..... The following releases would be albums that didn't make the list but do deserve an honorable mention: Hallow's Eve "History of Terror" Box Set (for this box set to even see the light of day as remastered with a bunch of rare tracks was definately something that stoked me!) Pearl Jam "Pearl Jam" (another good comeback album, concentrating on getting back to a more rock oriented style.) Beyond Fear "DTO" (nice to see "Ripper" Owens doing something that showcases what he can do without being in already established acts.) Cheap Trick "Rockford" (another classic rock band that keeps on rocking; their sound never seems to age.) Motörhead "Kiss of Death" (just when you thought these guys have done it all, they still show that they had THE ACE OF SPADES up their sleeve!) Circle II Circle "Burden of Truth" (very good melodic heavy metal, probably their best yet) Attacker "The Unknown" (another underground heavy metal band from the 80's that has reformed to try and continue what they started. Excellent American made power metal!) Cronian "Terra" (this avant garde/progressed out album probably deserved to be in my top 15 just based on the 90 / 100 score, but like I said earlier, these listings are really in no particular order after the first top few.) Hammers of Misfortune "The Locust Years" (it's because of Alex's review for Metal Reviews that I learned about this band. I really like Slough Feg and like progressive metal, especially with some NWOBHM thrown in the mix. Thanks dude!) Cradle of Filth "Thornography" (I really like the direction the Filth have taken last few albums: less bombastic blast beat stuff and screaming til you up-chuck your vocal chords, and more melody and more memorable song passages. The shit is still erie and as gothic as ever!) Paul Stanley "Live To Win" (not what I was expecting from him, but it's something I came to like and respected the effort made to do something other than was expected.) I also want to thank all of my metal brothers and sisters at Metal Reviews for all of their support and the endless dedication and effort they put into Metal Reviews.

Axl Rose — He continues to tarnish the G'N'R legacy. Chinese Democracy will be huge upon it's release then fizzle out. They will then join the ranks of the many other "classic rock acts" that do continuous greatest hits tours (if at all)...sad....

— Well, we've come to the close of another great year for metal and 2007 will mark my 5 year anniversary here at MetalReviews. I seem to have less time to listen to music anymore with everything else going on in my life but I try to keep up with new releases. There's a few newer ones that didn't make my list but I just got around to listening to them. Firewind's Allegiance is a very solid album and as far as the new Virgin Steele, after a couple of listens, I'm disappointed. I hope someone will review it soon and I might take a crack at it. Other great albums worth mentioning that didn't quite make my list are Mystic Prophecy's Savage Souls (massive riffs and a killer power metal album), Hammerfall - Threshold (better than the last but still pales in comparison to the first 2), Warmachine - The Beginning Of The End (A local metal act that combines great old school Megadeth/Metallica style metal), SAHG (solid 70's influenced doom) and Shatterpoint (another local rip-your-face-off thrashy metal band). I'm trying to branch out and sample other metal genres like doom and gothic metal. I'm also taking quite a liking to band's like Cruachan and others that are offering something just a little bit different than the mainstream. My heart is still in the power/prog/traditional heavy metal genres but I guess there's some hope for me yet!! Once again, I thank the labels and the artists themselves who are invaluable in their efforts in getting us material to review. To the other memebers of the MR team, we are brethern and part of something that is very special to me...I thank all of you for you contributions. Last but not least, I thank you the readers...I'm not much of a forums person but I do read them and respond once in a while. Without your constant input and enthusiasm, there would be no more MR.com.....here's to another 5 years and a great 2007!! Cheers, Marty

Other great albums worth mentioning that didn't quite make my list are Mystic Prophecy - Savage Souls (massive riffs and a killer power metal album), Hammerfall - Threshold (better than the last two but still pales in comparison to the first 2), Warmachine - The Beginning Of The End (A local metal act that combines great old school Megadeth/Metallica style metal), SAHG (solid 70's influenced doom) and Shatterpoint (another local rip-your-face-off thrashy metal band). I'm trying to branch out and sample other metal genres like doom and gothic metal (I haven't quite softened up to death and black metal yet!). I'm also taking quite a liking to band's like Cruachan, Wuthering Heights and others that are offering something just a little bit different than the mainstream. My heart is still in the power/prog/traditional heavy metal genres but I guess there's some hope for me yet!! Once again, I thank the labels and the artists themselves who are invaluable in their efforts in getting us material to review. To the other memebers of the MR team, we are brethern and part of something that is very special to me...I thank all of you for you contributions. Last but not least, I thank you the readers...I'm not much of a forums person but I do read them and respond once in a while. Without your constant input and enthusiasm, there would be no more MR.com.....here's to another 5 years and a great 2007!! Cheers, Marty

3519 — By no means a bad CD but I expected so much more with Nils K. Rue on vocals. Though the vocals wasn't the problem, the too slow song writing was. Eidolon is best when they're fast not progressive.

Words / Final Thoughts

— 2006 was a very exciting year for me. I moved in my girlfriend, who is now my fiancee and I'll be getting married in September. I received a very nice promotion at work which resulted in start of a potentially profitable career. All this meant having to completely change the way I managed my time. The result was very little reviews and CD listening. As things settle done this year I hope to return to 1 review a week plus a lot more CD listening. So for all two of you who read my reviews, I'm back. :) And btw, when the hell is Hollenthon going to release something new?? Stay Metal, Crims

— Rather than giving you my usual philosophical musings, I'd save the space for very deserving album which missed the Top 15 by the narrowest of margins. In the end it was all about the number of spins any given album received. However, please do yourself a favor and not miss these (in random order): I - Between Two Worlds (thanks Jeff for reminding me to listen to this), Leviathan/Sapthuran Split (the new and the old of the USBM scene), Yyrkoon - Unhealthy Opera (the melodies of the previous release would have made the difference), Gorgoroth - Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam (Norsecore, but not as bad as the purists say it is), Enslaved - Ruun (always quality here), Amorphis - Eclipse (another comeback of the year), Place of Skulls - The Black Is Never Far (I am ashamed there was no single comment on the review thread), Summoning - Oath Bound (beautiful and within themselves), Torture - Storm Alert (their work of a lifetime finally sees the light of day), Wolverine - Still (resurrection from the ashes), Kampfar - Kvass (you have been missed), Sahg - I (it is so old school it is fresh), Tyr - Ragnarok (guys, I told you so), Enforsaken - Sinner's Intuition (it is a shame these guys are no more and Shadows Fall and Into Eternity are the toast of the town), God Dethroned - The Toxic Touch (old reliable), Dismember - The God That Never Was (very old and very reliable), Madder Mortem - Desiderata (dark and powerful), My Dying Bride - A Line of Deathless Kings (these guys are still untouchable when squeezing the grief button), Pharaoh - The Longest Night (upholding the tradition of the 80s, Maiden has to be checking their rearview mirror), Lair of Minotaur - The Ultimate Destroyer (when you are in need to bash some skulls), Heresi - Psalm II - Infusco Ignis (short and very kvlt BM), Skyforger - Kauja Pie Saules (yes they are from Latvia and no they are not NSBM), Sodom - Sodom (how do these guys manage to stay relevant is amazing). My thanks

— Others worthy of your attention, which fell short of making the Top 15 cut: Leviathan/Sapthuran Split, Yyrkoon - Unhealthy Opera (the melodies have been missed), Gorgoroth - Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam (Norsecore, but not as bad as everyone says it is), Enslaved - Ruun (always solid), Amorphis - Eclipse (comeback under different colors), Place of Skulls - The Black Is Never Far (it is a shame no one posted in the review thread), Summoning - Oath Bound (unique and mesmerizing), Torture - Storm Alert (the work of a lifetime gets noticed), Wolverine - Still (I have given up on them too soon), Kampfar - Kvass (you have been missed), Sahg - I (so old school), Tyr - Ragnarok (two years ago I told you to look out for these guys), Enforsaken - Sinner's Intuition (it is a shame they are disbanded), God Dethroned - The Toxic Touch (old reliable), Dismember - The God That Never Was (older and just as reliable), Madder Mortem - Desiderata (there are some very powerful songs on this album), My Dying Bride - A Line of Deathless Kings (still got it), Pharaoh - The Longest Night (proudly carrying the Maiden banner), Lair of Minotaur - The Ultimate Destroyer (if you need to bash some skulls, this is the soundtrack), Sadus - Out for Blood (technical thrash), Sodom - Sodom (amazing that they are so relevant), Nachtmystium - Instinct:Decay (some of the best USBM). My thanks go out to my teammates who put up with me, my family who is forgiving of my passion for metal, the people who supply me with countless material to review (Dave of Earsplit, you are the best), the bands (keep it going on), and of course those who think my blabber is worth your reading time.

— To me this year was filled with insane amounts of weird, melodic, death-growling, high-wailing, fret-tapping, epic metal n' rock that made the compiling of this list extremely difficult. But here it is, in all of it's subjective glory. Here's to a 2007 that is poised to be filled with quality metal the world around. Three words of anticipation: Up The Iced! -Aleksi-

— 2006 was a great year for Metal, and if you ask me, especially good for Powermetal. Rather than comment on the year's releases, i'd like to take this opportunity to send my blessings to everyone who is reading this, especially the Metalreviews team, for being true to what they love. In a world where little comes free, and where trends and music are curbed by profit-hoarding industry, it is truly a beautiful thing to see people driven by a passion for music come together and support that which they love albeit the norm. My hat goes off to all of you, and may 2007 be the greatest year yet for Metal. Cheers! Jason.

3425 — A bad ass Blind Guardian album? Well, this hasn't occured in while! And not only that, there is a lot of progressive tendencies this time around too! Yes, Blind Guardian are still the power metal warlords that they have always been, but there is obvious progression on this album, and it pays off very well for this band. Congratulations to Hansi and company for having the balls to challenge themselves and their fans to something a tad different. I am not the biggest BG fan, but this album is quite enjoyable and definitely one of the best of the year.

For the uninitiated, let me just take a brief moment to say this one thing: this osn the most beautiful and emotional band in metal right now. Borknagar comes close to reaching the perfection of Agalloch, but I don't believe they quite reach the level of these American atmospheric masters. These guys are magical and will continue to garner the following that they deserve.

3448 — The best major label debut of a metal band in the last decade? Possibly, as most bands tend to bow to pressure from the execs, but Mastodon has not only retained their traditional sound on a major label, but they have also pushed their boundaries giving them heaping load of respect from the metal community. Mastodon, while not technicall rookies, probably deserve the rookie of the year award in the eyes of many who are just getting around to hearing this behemoth of a band. Any recognition these guys deserve is good, because they deserve every morsel.

Borknagar has challenged the reigning masters of moody acoustic, Opeth, in a big way. This is a surprise, yet incredibly enjoyable.

Firewind - Allegiance

Firewind - Allegiance — Everytime Firewind puts out a release, every other power metal band on Earth breaks out in a cold sweat because they know this band poses a real threat to knocking them off the top lists of the year. Firewind is just that good, and their new vocalist is definitely a worthy replacement to his predecessor. These Greeks have shown they cannot fail without trying. Oh yeah, Gus G for guitarist of the year!

3490 — Moody, evil, doomy yet undeniably traditional heavy fucking metal! Jon Oliva is one of the best songwriters in metal today with both Savatage and Trans Siberian Orchestra as successful ventures under his belt. As a side project, Jon Oliva's Pain acts more as a top notch main act, rather than just a space for someone's creative niche.

3154 — In Flames have transitioned into a new period in their careers. The sooner opponents and proponents alike recognize this, the sooner we can get on with each our giddy lives. I have accepted this band's transition, and while their last outing was just plain bad, I think Come Clarity is a respectable release with some odes to their past glory, but undeniably modern in sound. I am glad In Flames is able to enjoy success, while also proving that they are not the turn coats that everyone makes them out to be. Good on you boys.

3505 — I have never been a Triv ium fan, but at least they had their own sound...until of course The Crusade came along. Members of the band are touting this off as the band's thrash opus, when in reality all it is is a rehashed Metallica album. Quit trying to prove you are true guys, the only thing you proved with this album is that the word "poser" applies within the metal ranks.

3088 — These guys are phenoms, simple as that. TGHey are crazy musicians, and know how to write a catchy tune, so why are they here then you ask? Inhuman Rampage is on this list because it sounds exactly like everything else they have done!!!! And this is coming from a guy that is of the vein "if it sounds good, originality doesn't matter", but Dragonforce are becoming a novelty act, and the band seems like they are pushing their sound to the distance to see how much they can extract from the speed vault. With more variation besides the relentless wall of speed and melody, these guys could get back into my top 15 easily.

Joke of the Year

— This was an eventful year for me to say the least. I finally graduated from college and I moved into the "real world." I have a job now (which isn't the greatest in the world, not by a long shot), and am making a little money. Lucky for me, I have good friends, and a good city to live in, or else I'd definitely be going nuts right now. As for the music! This year wasn't a year of excessive exploration in the the realms of up and coming music. This year was a year of reflection, in which I took most of my time and money to listen and build up a back catalog of old school necessities. So while I didn't necessarily excel at building my 2006 reportoire of knowledge, I think I have bettered my tastes by examining the music that makes this genre great. I am looking forward to 2007 both in my personal life and for more of a musical exploration. Now that I have returned to MetalReviews, I know with all the bands and albums that roll through here on a weekly basis, that finding new music will be no challenge. As for my personal life? Well, I guess that is a whole other can of worms. Have a good year everyone!

3350 — I love controversy. So I thought I'd put this in at number 12. In all seriousness however I'm not and probably never will be into black metal, which is possibly why I enjoyed this so much.

Disappointments

3453 — I'm a big maiden fan, and like everything they've ever done aside from The X Factor and Virtual XI. This however, while I didn't hate it, just did nothing for me. I don't really know why, I can't exactly put my finger on it, but this disappointed me nonetheless.

— It's been a pretty amazing year for our beloved genre, as I look back it has been a year remarkably free of excessive mainstream tinkering and trends. While the 'emo' movement seems to have carried on in earnest, most of actual metal has thankfully been left to its own devices and while I have a feeling 2007 will see the emo's being replaced by an explosion of power metal kiddies I feel the integrity of the scene will hold out. With the exception of a few bad apples (Bullet for My Valentine, I'm looking in your direction) much of the mainstream metal acts seem to be guiding that section of the genre in a far better direction than has been seen in previous years and I only hope it continues. Talk of trends and scenes aside, the music has spoken for itself with some very good releases from established acts and some utterly incredible ones from relative unknowns. If the future of this genre rests with many of these bands the future is certainly bright. While a few of the old guard have disappointed me this year I feel that there is ddefinately a lot to look ahead to. Some of what I have heard this year has pushed the boundaries of what I would class as music and it's an exhillirating and exciting feeling. The more progressive side of this genre I feel is at times genuinely treading new ground in this medium and it is that sense of discovery and venture into the artistic unknown that keeps me coming back time and time again and consistently reminding me why the extreme fringes of any artform are so very vital. Looking ahead, one thing stands out for me in 2007 and it is comprised of two words. New Metallica. Will this be the final nail in the coffin of a band past their best and a chance for the critics and fans to put the knives they've been sharpening since St Anger to good use? Or will this be a startling return to form from one of the legends of the genre silencing the naysayers and putting them back on the top of the metal heirarchy? Whichever way it goes I seriously doubt you'll hear the word 'average' being batted about, it will be one extreme or the other I feel, I'm already excited. On a personal note, as I come to the end of 2006 and reflect, I'm happy to say that it has been a year I can look back on and say I did things with my life. I finished the college course I was on successfully, got myself a place on one of the most coveted English Literature courses in the country, travelled to Amsterdam for the first time and solidly made up my mind (for now) about what I want to do with my life. Of course I also drank too much, smoked too much, put on too much weight, saved no money and was a general dick, but that's just my charming 'personality'. I'll grow up some day. I'd like to thank those that really matter (you know who you are) and I look forward to entertaining / pissing you off for another year. In simple terms, you lot fuckin' rule. I'd also like to thank this site and the MR team for providing me an outlet for my oft nonsensical ramblings and suspect opinions. Many of you guys on the team are consitently pleasant to work with and we've got a pretty damn good music site here, It can only get better. -Al

While the 'emo' movement seems to have carried on in earnest, most of actual metal has thankfully been left to its own devices and while I have a feeling 2007 will see the emo's being replaced by an explosion of power metal kiddies I feel the integrity of the scene will hold out. With the exception of a few bad apples (Bullet for My Valentine, I'm looking in your direction) much of the mainstream metal acts seem to be guiding that section of the genre in a far better direction than has been seen in previous years and I only hope it continues. Talk of trends and scenes aside, the music has spoken for itself with some very good releases from established acts and some utterly incredible ones from relative unknowns. If the future of this genre rests with many of these bands the future is certainly bright. While a few of the old guard have disappointed me this year I feel that there is definately a lot to look ahead to. Some of what I have heard this year has pushed the boundaries of what I would class as music and it's an exhillirating and exciting feeling. The more progressive side of this genre I feel is at times genuinely treading new ground in this medium and it is that sense of discovery and venture into the artistic unknown that keeps me coming back time and time again and consistently reminding me why the extreme fringes of any artform are so very vital. Looking ahead, one thing stands out for me in 2007 and it is comprised of two words. New Metallica. Will this be the final nail in the coffin of a band past their best and a chance for the critics and fans to put the knives they've been sharpening since St Anger to good use? Or will this be a startling return to form from one of the legends of the genre silencing the naysayers and putting them back on the top of the metal heirarchy? Whichever way it goes I seriously doubt you'll hear the word 'average' being batted about, it will be one extreme or the other I feel, I'm already excited. On a personal note, as I come to the end of 2006 and reflect, I'm happy to say that it has been a year I can look back on and say I did things with my life. I finished the college course I was on successfully, got myself a place on one of the most coveted English Literature courses in the country, travelled to Amsterdam for the first time and solidly made up my mind (for now) about what I want to do with my life. Of course I also drank too much, smoked too much, put on too much weight, saved no money and was a general dick, but that's just my charming 'personality'. I'll grow up some day. I'd like to thank those that really matter (you know who you are) and I look forward to entertaining / pissing you off for another year. In simple terms, you lot fuckin' rule. I'd also like to thank this site and the MR team for providing me an outlet for my oft nonsensical ramblings and suspect opinions. Many of you guys on the team are consistently pleasant to work with and we've got a pretty damn good music site here, It can only get better. And finally of course a massive thank you to the readers, community and bands for being the main reason this site exists. -Al

3615 — Progressive metal and rock is a genre I've been immersing my head into for the past few years. It all began with <a href="http://www.seempieces.com" target="new">Travis Smith</a> and his amazing artwork. Shuffling through the used bins at my favorite used shop, Nuggets, in Boston, I came across Redemption's self-titled debut and Zero Hour's self-titled re-release, Metamorphosis. I remembered the artwork from Travis' website, and knowing that Travis usually works with bands that fit my tastes I immediately bought both of them. The rest is history. Prog metal and rock has become a new genre for me to indulge in and I'm loving it. Zero Hour's latest, Specs Of Pictures Burnt Beyond, comes a little over a year since A Fragile Mind, my personal favorite from the band. This new album, however, is no slouch—far from it! Once again Zero Hour delivers with pinpoint perfection; and like I said in my review: Raise your glasses and your horns in honor of the best metal album of 2006!

3615 — Progressive metal and rock is a genre I've been immersing my head into for the past few years, even moreso this past year. It all began with <a href="http://www.seempieces.com" target="new">Travis Smith</a> and his amazing artwork. Shuffling through the used bins a few years back at my favorite used shop, Nuggets, in Boston, I came across Redemption's self-titled debut and Zero Hour's Metamorphosis, a re-release of their self-titled debut (excluding their previous demo). I remembered the artwork from Travis' website, and knowing that Travis usually works with bands that fit my tastes I immediately bought both of them. The rest is history. Prog metal and rock has become a new genre for me to indulge in and I'm loving it. Zero Hour's latest, Specs Of Pictures Burnt Beyond, comes a little over a year since A Fragile Mind, my personal favorite from the band, and also on my Best of 2005 list. This new album, however, is no slouch—far from it! Once again Zero Hour delivers with pinpoint perfection; and like I said in my review: Raise your glasses and your horns in honor of the best metal album of 2006!

It all began with <a href="http://www.seempieces.com" target="new">Travis Smith</a> and his amazing artwork. Shuffling through the used bins a few years back at my favorite used shop, Nuggets, in Boston, I came across Redemption's self-titled debut and Zero Hour's Metamorphosis, a re-release of their self-titled debut (excluding their previous demo). I remembered the artwork from Travis' website, and knowing that Travis usually works with bands that fit my tastes I immediately bought both of them. The rest is history. Prog metal and rock has become a new genre for me to indulge in and I'm loving it. Zero Hour's latest, Specs Of Pictures Burnt Beyond, comes a little over a year since A Fragile Mind, my personal favorite from the band, and also on my Best of 2005 list. This new album, however, is no slouch—far from it! Once again Zero Hour delivers with pinpoint perfection; and like I said in my review: Raise your glasses and your horns in honor of the best metal album of 2006! <center><a href="http://www.lasersedgegroup.com/soundfiles/zerohourunseen.mp3" target="new">Evindence Of The Unseen</a></center>

3269 — Memorial may very well be Moonspell's best release yet. After a few years dabbling in the more somber gothic side of the spectrum, Memorial saw the band take all their various style shifts over the years, pool them together, and unleash one monstrous amalgamation of gothic black metal. The gothic dark metal is still featured aplenty, but also this time out they brought back the black metal from their early days—the Anno Satanae demo days! Hermeticum by Daemonarch, the black metal side-project by four current and former Moonspell members, is also a good reference point. If not the best Moonspell release to date, Memorial stands toe-to-toe with any of their previous releases.

<a href="" target="new">Solitude Aeturnus - Alone</a> — For many, Candlemass is the greatest doom metal band of all time; others may say Pentagram or even Black Sabbath. For me, however, it is Solitude Aeturnus. I remember the first time I heard them, around 1996, and being simply blown away by their sheer power, the crushing guitar work of John Perez and the soaring, majestic and foreboding vocals of Robert Lowe, one of the most underrated vocalist of all time; he belongs up there with Dickinson, Tate, Dio, and Halford. Unfortunately, over the course of their career, which began in the late 80s, the band had hit their fair share of roadblocks, from bad record deals to an idiot mixing Downfall to band members leaving; thus it’s been eight years since the release of the very underappreciated Adagio. A long time in the making, Alone was supposed to make its debut at the end of 2005, but instead came a year later. And sticking with tradition, the limited edition digipack was messed up at the pressing plant with some tracklisting errors and the bonus track, “Lucid Destitution,” being mislabeled “Embrace” on the back of the digipack and in the lyrics, but labeled correctly in the liner notes. Typical. Petty misfortune aside, Alone is one amazing piece of work. Not only does the album come off much more doomy than the past few albums, but it also has much more of a heavy metal vibe not heard since Downfall. The production is crisp and crystal-clear, but maintains a dark, sinister quality. The album is flawless; and had this not come out at the very end of the year it would likely be my number one pick for the best album of 2006. If you’re going to pick this album up, buy the limited release because, while not being a part of the main album, and having a different sound to it, “Lucid Destitution” is one amazing 10-minute long journey! Solitude Aeturnus have never come up short on an album, and they that hasn’t changed this time out. I just hope I don’t have to wait eight years for the next one.

And sticking with tradition, the limited edition digipack was messed up at the pressing plant with some tracklisting errors and the bonus track, “Lucid Destitution,” being mislabeled “Embrace” on the back of the digipack and in the lyrics, but labeled correctly in the liner notes. Typical. Petty misfortune aside, Alone is one amazing piece of work. Not only does the album come off much more doomy than the past few albums, but it also has much more of a heavy metal vibe not heard since Downfall. The production is crisp and crystal-clear, but maintains a dark, sinister quality. The album is flawless; and had this not come out at the very end of the year it would likely be my number one pick for the best album of 2006. If you’re going to pick this album up, buy the limited release because, while not being a part of the main album, and having a different sound to it, “Lucid Destitution” is one amazing 10-minute long journey! Solitude Aeturnus have never come up short on an album, and they that hasn’t changed this time out. I just hope I don’t have to wait eight years for the next one.

<a href="" target="new">Solitude Aeturnus - Alone</a> — For many, Candlemass is the greatest doom metal band of all time; others may say Pentagram or even Black Sabbath. For me, however, it is Solitude Aeturnus. I remember the first time I heard them, around 1996, and being simply blown away by their sheer power, the crushing guitar work of John Perez and the soaring, majestic and foreboding vocals of Robert Lowe, one of the most underrated vocalist of all time; he belongs up there with Dickinson, Tate, Dio, and Halford.

I just hope I don’t have to wait eight years for the next one. <center> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IVKTGlQmr-o"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IVKTGlQmr-o" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Seeds Of The Desolate” (Live Clip from Beyond The Crimson Horizon)</center>

<a href="" target="new">Solitude Aeturnus - Alone</a> — For many, Candlemass is the greatest doom metal band of all time; others may say Pentagram or even Black Sabbath. For me, however, it is Solitude Aeturnus. I remember the first time I heard them, around 1996, and being simply blown away by their sheer power, the crushing guitar work of John Perez and the soaring, majestic and foreboding vocals of Robert Lowe, one of the most underrated vocalist of all time; he belongs up there with Dickinson, Tate, Dio, and Halford. Unfortunately, over the course of their career, which began in the late 80s, the band had hit their fair share of roadblocks, from bad record deals to an idiot mixing Downfall to band members leaving; thus it’s been eight years since the release of the very underappreciated Adagio. A long time in the making, Alone was supposed to make its debut at the end of 2005, but instead came a year later. And sticking with tradition, the limited edition digipack was messed up at the pressing plant with some tracklisting errors and the bonus track, “Lucid Destitution,” being mislabeled “Embrace” on the back of the digipack and in the lyrics, but labeled correctly in the liner notes. Typical. Petty misfortune aside, Alone is one amazing piece of work. Not only does the album come off much more doomy than the past few albums, but it also has much more of a heavy metal vibe not heard since Downfall. The production is crisp and crystal-clear, but maintains a dark, sinister quality. The album is flawless; and had this not come out at the very end of the year it would likely be my number one pick for the best album of 2006.

<a href="http://www.eternalsolitude.com" target="new">Solitude Aeturnus - Alone</a> — Progressive metal and rock is a genre I've been immersing my head into for the past few years, even moreso this past year. It all began with <a href="http://www.seempieces.com" target="new">Travis Smith</a> and his amazing artwork. Shuffling through the used bins a few years back at my favorite used shop, Nuggets, in Boston, I came across Redemption's self-titled debut and Zero Hour's Metamorphosis, a re-release of their self-titled debut (excluding their previous demo). I remembered the artwork from Travis' website, and knowing that Travis usually works with bands that fit my tastes I immediately bought both of them. The rest is history. Prog metal and rock has become a new genre for me to indulge in and I'm loving it. Zero Hour's latest, Specs Of Pictures Burnt Beyond, comes a little over a year since A Fragile Mind, my personal favorite from the band, and also on my Best of 2005 list. This new album, however, is no slouch—far from it! Once again Zero Hour delivers with pinpoint perfection; and like I said in my review: Raise your glasses and your horns in honor of the best metal album of 2006! <center><a href="http://www.lasersedgegroup.com/soundfiles/zerohourunseen.mp3" target="new">Evindence Of The Unseen</a></center>

<a href="http://www.eternalsolitude.com" target="new">Solitude Aeturnus - Alone</a> — For many, Candlemass is the greatest doom metal band of all time; others may say Pentagram or even Black Sabbath. For me, however, it is Solitude Aeturnus. I remember the first time I heard them, around 1996, and being simply blown away by their sheer power, the crushing guitar work of John Perez and the soaring, majestic and foreboding vocals of Robert Lowe, one of the most underrated vocalist of all time; he belongs up there with Dickinson, Tate, Dio, and Halford. Unfortunately, over the course of their career, which began in the late 80s, the band had hit their fair share of roadblocks, from bad record deals to an idiot mixing Downfall to band members leaving; thus it’s been eight years since the release of the very underappreciated Adagio. A long time in the making, Alone was supposed to make its debut at the end of 2005, but instead came a year later. And sticking with tradition, the limited edition digipack was messed up at the pressing plant with some tracklisting errors and the bonus track, “Lucid Destitution,” being mislabeled “Embrace” on the back of the digipack and in the lyrics, but labeled correctly in the liner notes. Typical. Petty misfortune aside, Alone is one amazing piece of work. Not only does the album come off much more doomy than the past few albums, but it also has much more of a heavy metal vibe not heard since Downfall. The production is crisp and crystal-clear, but maintains a dark, sinister quality. The album is flawless; and had this not come out at the very end of the year it would likely be my number one pick for the best album of 2006. If you’re going to pick this album up, buy the limited release because, while not being a part of the main album, and having a different sound to it, “Lucid Destitution” is one amazing 10-minute long journey! Solitude Aeturnus have never come up short on an album, and they that hasn’t changed this time out. I just hope I don’t have to wait eight years for the next one. <center> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IVKTGlQmr-o"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IVKTGlQmr-o" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Seeds Of The Desolate” (Live Clip from Beyond The Crimson Horizon)</center>

3161 — If there is any musician in the world to bet on, for me it would Devin Townsend. His musical brilliance continues to astound me. Synchestra is much more a cerebral experience than his previous, more immediately pleasing releases. I liked Synchestra from the get-go, but it took a good number of listens before I truly began to appreciate its stark beauty. The album plays better as one long song, with most of them more pleasing stacked up next to the other songs on the album. Vampira, the album's lead-off single, is the only song that really stands on its own. And it's an amazing song; the video is easily one of the most ridiculous videos of all time! While not his most popular among fans, Synchestra still shows that Devin Townsend is one of the best in the game.

3515 — I’m a huge Savatage fan, have been since I first heard “Gutter Ballet”—get this!—on the radio back in the day. I got all their albums up to that point, and though I became a big fan, I couldn’t always handle Jon Oliva’s vocals. Sometimes his acidic wail just didn’t do it for me, while other times it was awesome. Nothing has changed to this day; though he has become a hundred times the vocalist he was back then. When Jon stepped down and Zak Stevens took up the frontman role I was skeptical, but he won me over with his amazing voice. Savatage was still great in my book, sometimes I think even better. Fast forward many years and albums, and we have Zak stepping down and Jon stepping back up (and some Damian guy who few have seen and may or may not exist in real life). Enter Zak’s new musical output, Circle II Circle. Zak’s new band doesn’t impress me with their sound; it’s too similar to Savatage for me to be impressed. They do, however, impress me with their music—it’s outstanding! With two full-lengths and two EPs under their belt comes Burden Of Truth, an album I wasn’t keen on after hearing it would be a concept album based on the Illuminati and all the Da Vinci Code mumbo-jumbo. But then I was impressed that Zak didn’t shy away from the recent hype on the subject and admitted that the concept was not something he’s always wanted to do, but devised with the intent on telling the story of what would potentially happen to the characters after the end of The DaVinci Code. So it’s not a lifted concept, but a hypothetical continuation of an existing story. I can respect that. And at the end of the day, even if I didn’t like the concept, I could never deny the music. It’s killer. Once again Zak proves that he’s one of the best metal vocalists out there, and Circle II Circle once again deliver the goods with a great heavy metal album. Savatage may be on its last leg, but with Circle II Circle, Jon Oliva’s Pain, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and Chris Caffery’s solo material, there’s still plenty of Savatage to be had. It’s not the name that matters, but the killer music, and these guys give us plenty.

But then I was impressed that Zak didn’t shy away from the recent hype on the subject and admitted that the concept was not something he’s always wanted to do, but devised with the intent on telling the story of what would potentially happen to the characters after the end of The DaVinci Code. So it’s not a lifted concept, but a hypothetical continuation of an existing story. I can respect that. And at the end of the day, even if I didn’t like the concept, I could never deny the music. It’s killer. Once again Zak proves that he’s one of the best metal vocalists out there, and Circle II Circle once again deliver the goods with a great heavy metal album. Savatage may be on its last leg, but with Circle II Circle, Jon Oliva’s Pain, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and Chris Caffery’s solo material, there’s still plenty of Savatage to be had. It’s not the name that matters, but the killer music, and these guys give us plenty. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RrsXsEOUQiQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RrsXsEOUQiQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Watching In Silence” (Offical Video from Watching In Silence)</center>

3515 — I’m a huge Savatage fan, have been since I first heard “Gutter Ballet”—get this!—on the radio back in the day. I got all their albums up to that point, and though I became a big fan, I couldn’t always handle Jon Oliva’s vocals. Sometimes his acidic wail just didn’t do it for me, while other times it was awesome. Nothing has changed to this day; though he has become a hundred times the vocalist he was back then. When Jon stepped down and Zak Stevens took up the frontman role I was skeptical, but he won me over with his amazing voice. Savatage was still great in my book, sometimes I think even better. Fast forward many years and albums, and we have Zak stepping down and Jon stepping back up (and some Damian guy who few have seen and may or may not exist in real life). Enter Zak’s new musical output, Circle II Circle. Zak’s new band doesn’t impress me with their sound; it’s too similar to Savatage for me to be impressed. They do, however, impress me with their music—it’s outstanding!

So it’s not a lifted concept, but a hypothetical continuation of an existing story. I can respect that. And at the end of the day, even if I didn’t like the concept, I could never deny the music. It’s killer. Once again Zak proves that he’s one of the best metal vocalists out there, and Circle II Circle once again deliver the goods with a great heavy metal album. Savatage may be on its last leg, but with Circle II Circle, Jon Oliva’s Pain, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and Chris Caffery’s solo material, there’s still plenty of Savatage to be had. It’s not the name that matters, but the killer music, and these guys give us plenty. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RrsXsEOUQiQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RrsXsEOUQiQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Watching In Silence” (Offical Video from Watching In Silence)</center>

3515 — I’m a huge Savatage fan, have been since I first heard “Gutter Ballet”—get this!—on the radio back in the day. I got all their albums up to that point, and though I became a big fan, I couldn’t always handle Jon Oliva’s vocals. Sometimes his acidic wail just didn’t do it for me, while other times it was awesome. Nothing has changed to this day; though he has become a hundred times the vocalist he was back then. When Jon stepped down and Zak Stevens took up the frontman role I was skeptical, but he won me over with his amazing voice. Savatage was still great in my book, sometimes I think even better. Fast forward many years and albums, and we have Zak stepping down and Jon stepping back up (and some Damian guy who few have seen and may or may not exist in real life). Enter Zak’s new musical output, Circle II Circle. Zak’s new band doesn’t impress me with their sound; it’s too similar to Savatage for me to be impressed. They do, however, impress me with their music—it’s outstanding!

So it’s not a lifted concept, but a hypothetical continuation of an existing story. I can respect that. And at the end of the day, even if I didn’t like the concept, I could never deny the music. It’s killer. Once again Zak proves that he’s one of the best metal vocalists out there, and Circle II Circle once again deliver the goods with a great heavy metal album. Savatage may be on its last leg, but with Circle II Circle, Jon Oliva’s Pain, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and Chris Caffery’s solo material, there’s still plenty of Savatage to be had. It’s not the name that matters, but the killer music, and these guys give us plenty. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RrsXsEOUQiQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RrsXsEOUQiQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Watching In Silence” (Offical Video from Watching In Silence)</center>

3515 — I’m a huge Savatage fan, have been since I first heard “Gutter Ballet”—get this!—on the radio back in the day. I got all their albums up to that point, and though I became a big fan, I couldn’t always handle Jon Oliva’s vocals. Sometimes his acidic wail just didn’t do it for me, while other times it was awesome. Nothing has changed to this day; though he has become a hundred times the vocalist he was back then. When Jon stepped down and Zak Stevens took up the frontman role I was skeptical, but he won me over with his amazing voice. Savatage was still great in my book, sometimes I think even better. Fast forward many years and albums, and we have Zak stepping down and Jon stepping back up (and some Damian guy who few have seen and may or may not exist in real life). Enter Zak’s new musical output, Circle II Circle. Zak’s new band doesn’t impress me with their sound; it’s too similar to Savatage for me to be impressed. They do, however, impress me with their music—it’s outstanding!

3361 — Again, like Synchestra, The New Black is an album that took fans by surprise, and seemed to disappoint more than please long-time fans. Anyone who was paying attention could see this album coming from a mile away. Devin has slowly but surely incorporating more and more of his "solo" personality into every Strapping Young Lad release ever since the debut. There is no previous Strapping Young Lad album without melody, catchy hooks, and clean singing; but with The New Black there's simply more of it, a fairly even split between melody and the band's signature brutality. Maybe the album being written in close proximity to Synchestra caused them to creatively bleed into one another—who knows! The bottom line is that The New Black is a tremendous album, one that would have been hailed a masterpiece if it were released under a different name, such as Physicist, I think. Unfortunately it seems that a name has more meaning than the music to many fans. While the album did well, many fans called it a failure; some even going so far as to call it a sell-out album to get the band mainstream exposure with the Ozzfest crowd; many even calling the song "Fucker," a crystal-clear, tongue-in-cheek, intentional anti-hit, the band's attempt to appeal to a younger, more mainstream crowd. The joke was clearly lost on these so-called fans. City is Strapping Young Lad's magnum opus to date, but The New Black is one step behind it. It belongs on this list.

3161 — For me, if there is any musician in the world to bet the house on, it would be Devin Townsend. His musical brilliance continues to astound me with every release. Synchestra is much more a cerebral experience than his previous, more immediately pleasing releases. I liked Synchestra from the get-go, but it took a good number of listens before I truly began to appreciate its stark beauty. The album plays better as one long song, with most of them more pleasing stacked up next to the other songs on the album. Vampira, the album's lead-off single, is the only song that really stands on its own. And it's an amazing song; the video is easily one of the most ridiculous videos of all time! While not his most popular among fans, Synchestra still shows that Devin Townsend is one of the best in the game.

While not his most popular among fans, Synchestra still shows that Devin Townsend is one of the best in the game. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/L6fdS2ny1J8"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/L6fdS2ny1J8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Vampira” (Official Video)</center>

3161 — For me, if there is any musician in the world to bet the house on, it would be Devin Townsend. His musical brilliance continues to astound me with every release. Synchestra is much more a cerebral experience than his previous, more immediately pleasing releases. I liked Synchestra from the get-go, but it took a good number of listens before I truly began to appreciate its stark beauty. The album plays better as one long song, with most of them more pleasing stacked up next to the other songs on the album. Vampira, the album's lead-off single, is the only song that really stands on its own. And it's an amazing song; the video is easily one of the most ridiculous videos of all time!

Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery —

Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery — You've been diagnosed with terminal cancer. You have a very short time to live. What do you do with your remaining days? Why, of course, you indulge in every dark desire you could possibly imagine: drinking and drug binges, laying down with some prositutes and then killing them, and all manner of dark, twisted fantasy. This is Adultery, a concept album following a man through his final days as he wreaks havoc on what remains of his life and all those around him. Dog Fashion Disco is virtually impossible to slap a genre label on, mainly due to their melding of styles ranging from jazz to death metal to nu-metal to R&B. Vocalist Todd Smith is a dead ringer for Mike Patton, and thus have always been called a Mr. Bungle copycat; but Mike Patton and Mr. Bungle could never stay focused long enough to come close to the brilliance that is Dog Fashion Disco and Adultery. Mr. Bungle has brilliant moments. Dog Fashion Disco is brilliant. Sadly, though, Adultery is the band's swan song. They announced their disbandment in on December 5, 2006. Adultery is the real deal, however; one of the coolest concept albums ever written.

3361 — Again, like Synchestra, The New Black is an album that took fans by surprise, and seemed to disappoint more than please long-time fans. Anyone who was paying attention could see this album coming from a mile away. Devin has slowly but surely incorporated more and more of his “solo” personality into every Strapping Young Lad release ever since the debut. There is no previous Strapping Young Lad album without melody, catchy hooks, and clean singing; but with The New Black there's simply more of it, a fairly even split between melody and the band's signature brutality. Maybe the album being written in close proximity to Synchestra caused them to creatively bleed into one another—who knows! The bottom line is that The New Black is a tremendous album, one that would have been hailed a masterpiece if it were released under a different name, such as Physicist, I think. Unfortunately it seems that a name has more meaning than the music to many fans. While the album did well, many fans called it a failure; some even going so far as to call it a sell-out album to get the band mainstream exposure with the Ozzfest crowd; many even calling the song “Fucker,” a crystal-clear, tongue-in-cheek, intentional anti-hit, the band's attempt to appeal to a younger, more mainstream crowd. The joke was clearly lost on these so-called fans. City is Strapping Young Lad's magnum opus to date, but The New Black is one step behind. It belongs on this list.

Unfortunately it seems that a name has more meaning than the music to many fans. While the album did well, many fans called it a failure; some even going so far as to call it a sell-out album to get the band mainstream exposure with the Ozzfest crowd; many even calling the song “Fucker,” a crystal-clear, tongue-in-cheek, intentional anti-hit, the band's attempt to appeal to a younger, more mainstream crowd. The joke was clearly lost on these so-called fans. City is Strapping Young Lad's magnum opus to date, but The New Black is one step behind. It belongs on this list. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T6AtBoTlQd4"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T6AtBoTlQd4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Wrong Side” (Official Video)</center>

Anyone who was paying attention could see this album coming from a mile away. Devin has slowly but surely incorporated more and more of his “solo” personality into every Strapping Young Lad release ever since the debut. There is no previous Strapping Young Lad album without melody, catchy hooks, and clean singing; but with The New Black there's simply more of it, a fairly even split between melody and the band's signature brutality.

It belongs on this list. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T6AtBoTlQd4"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T6AtBoTlQd4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Wrong Side” (Official Video)</center>

3361 — Again, like Synchestra, The New Black is an album that took fans by surprise, and seemed to disappoint more than please long-time fans. Anyone who was paying attention could see this album coming from a mile away. Devin has slowly but surely incorporated more and more of his “solo” personality into every Strapping Young Lad release ever since the debut. There is no previous Strapping Young Lad album without melody, catchy hooks, and clean singing; but with The New Black there's simply more of it, a fairly even split between melody and the band's signature brutality. Maybe the album being written in close proximity to Synchestra caused them to creatively bleed into one another—who knows! The bottom line is that The New Black is a tremendous album, one that would have been hailed a masterpiece if it were released under a different name, such as Physicist, I think. Unfortunately it seems that a name has more meaning than the music to many fans.

Cataract - Kingdom — Many would label Cataract as a metalcore band. They would be wrong. Cataract is more of a modern melodic death metal band. They steer clear of any sort of clean singing; and thus do not fit the metalcore mold. There are breakdowns, but they're more like old school thrash breakdowns rather than typical "get da fuck up" metalcore breakdowns. Kingdom is the band's fourth full-length release and it kills from beginning to end. It's an outstanding and brutal piece of work, one well worth listening to, if you're not a strict "true-blue" metalhead.

3269 — Memorial may very well be Moonspell's best release yet. After a few years dabbling in the more somber gothic side of the spectrum, Memorial saw the band take all their various style shifts over the years, pool them together, and unleash one monstrous amalgamation of gothic black metal. The gothic dark metal is still featured aplenty, but also this time out they brought back the black metal from their early days—the Anno Satanae demo days! Hermeticum by Daemonarch, the black metal side-project by four current and former Moonspell members, is also a good reference point. If not the best Moonspell release to date, Memorial stands toe-to-toe with any of their previous releases.

3113 — ...and the turd was flungeth. Edguy's Rocket Ride did not hit the spot for a lot of fans. The abundance of rock tendencies and catchy hooks had many fans scratching their heads and flinging e-poo at anyone who liked this album. I loved this album; thus ate a lot of poo. I grew up living on 80s rock/metal, so this album was awesome for me. I wasn't blown away by every song, but I absolutely loved most of them. "Trinidad," however, remains one of the worst songs I've ever heard. It's not funny, it's not good, it's not catchy, it's terrible. Otherwise it's a great album.

<a href="" target="new">Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery</a> — You’re a normal, respected, and honest man. You’ve lived an honest, upstanding life. But you've been diagnosed with terminal cancer. You have a very short time to live. What do you do with your remaining days? Why, of course, you indulge in every dark desire you could possibly imagine: drinking and drug binges, sharing bed space with some prostitutes, making romance explosions inside them, and then killing them, and all other manner of dark, twisted fantasy. This is Adultery, a concept album following a man through his final days as he wreaks havoc on what remains of his life and all those around him, indulging in the dark side of life before he inevitably dies. Dog Fashion Disco is virtually impossible to slap a genre label on, mainly due to their melding of styles ranging from jazz to death metal to nu-metal to R&B, often in a single song. Vocalist Todd Smith is a dead ringer for Mike Patton, and thus have always been called a Mr. Bungle copycat; but Mike Patton and Mr. Bungle could never stay focused long enough to come close to the brilliance that is Adultery. Mr. Bungle has brilliant moments. Dog Fashion Disco is brilliant. All day, every day. Sadly, though the band’s best work to date, Adultery is their swan song. They announced their disbandment in on December 5, 2006. Adultery is the real deal, however; one of the coolest concept albums ever written.

Why, of course, you indulge in every dark desire you could possibly imagine: drinking and drug binges, sharing bed space with some prostitutes, making romance explosions inside them, and then killing them, and all other manner of dark, twisted fantasy. This is Adultery, a concept album following a man through his final days as he wreaks havoc on what remains of his life and all those around him, indulging in the dark side of life before he inevitably dies. Dog Fashion Disco is virtually impossible to slap a genre label on, mainly due to their melding of styles ranging from jazz to death metal to nu-metal to R&B, often in a single song. Vocalist Todd Smith is a dead ringer for Mike Patton, and thus have always been called a Mr. Bungle copycat; but Mike Patton and Mr. Bungle could never stay focused long enough to come close to the brilliance that is Adultery. Mr. Bungle has brilliant moments. Dog Fashion Disco is brilliant. All day, every day. Sadly, though the band’s best work to date, Adultery is their swan song. They announced their disbandment in on December 5, 2006. Adultery is the real deal, however; one of the coolest concept albums ever written.

Why, of course, you indulge in every dark desire you could possibly imagine: drinking and drug binges, sharing bed space with some prostitutes, making romance explosions inside them, and then killing them, and all other manner of dark, twisted fantasy. This is Adultery, a concept album following a man through his final days as he wreaks havoc on what remains of his life and all those around him, indulging in the dark side of life before he inevitably dies. Dog Fashion Disco is virtually impossible to slap a genre label on, mainly due to their melding of styles ranging from jazz to death metal to nu-metal to R&B, often in a single song. Vocalist Todd Smith is a dead ringer for Mike Patton, and thus have always been called a Mr. Bungle copycat; but Mike Patton and Mr. Bungle could never stay focused long enough to come close to the brilliance that is Adultery. Mr. Bungle has brilliant moments. Dog Fashion Disco is brilliant. All day, every day. Sadly, though the band’s best work to date, Adultery is their swan song. They announced their disbandment in on December 5, 2006. Adultery is the real deal, however; one of the coolest concept albums ever written. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/s_svrzn7A6U"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s_svrzn7A6U" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Silent Film” (Official Video)</center>

<a href="http://www.myspace.com/dogfashiondisco" target="new">Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery</a> — You’re a normal, respected, and honest man. You’ve lived an honest, upstanding life. But you've been diagnosed with terminal cancer. You have a very short time to live. What do you do with your remaining days? Why, of course, you indulge in every dark desire you could possibly imagine: drinking and drug binges, sharing bed space with some prostitutes, making romance explosions inside them, and then killing them, and all other manner of dark, twisted fantasy. This is Adultery, a concept album following a man through his final days as he wreaks havoc on what remains of his life and all those around him, indulging in the dark side of life before he inevitably dies. Dog Fashion Disco is virtually impossible to slap a genre label on, mainly due to their melding of styles ranging from jazz to death metal to nu-metal to R&B, often in a single song. Vocalist Todd Smith is a dead ringer for Mike Patton, and thus have always been called a Mr. Bungle copycat; but Mike Patton and Mr. Bungle could never stay focused long enough to come close to the brilliance that is Adultery. Mr. Bungle has brilliant moments. Dog Fashion Disco is brilliant. All day, every day. Sadly, though the band’s best work to date, Adultery is their swan song.

3432 — This album took me a long time to find. I initially heard an MP3 of the song “Chaos Prophet” on a French metal site. The song was very much like something from Therion’s Lemuira/Sirius B albums: symphonic death/power metal. I contacted the band about the album and it wasn’t finished yet. I waited. When it was released it was impossible for me to buy. The French site selling it did not ship to the United States; every eBay seller was just another bootleg seller, those that plague the once-great eBay and turned it into a terrible, untrustworthy on-line store. Eventually I took my chances with their Russian distributor, Irond Ltd. Bootleggers these days put out a fairly high-quality product, and many come from Russia. I had no interest in a bootleg, no matter how good it was. But since Irond Ltd. was a legit distributor I gave them a shot, and luckily they delivered. Birth Of The Prophet arrived shortly thereafter and has been played consistently since. A very ambitious and fantastical debut concept album from this French band, part one of three.

The French site selling it did not ship to the United States; every eBay seller was just another bootleg seller, those that plague the once-great eBay and turned it into a terrible, untrustworthy on-line store. Eventually I took my chances with their Russian distributor, Irond Ltd. Bootleggers these days put out a fairly high-quality product, and many come from Russia. I had no interest in a bootleg, no matter how good it was. But since Irond Ltd. was a legit distributor I gave them a shot, and luckily they delivered. Birth Of The Prophet arrived shortly thereafter and has been played consistently since. A very ambitious and fantastical debut concept album from this French band, part one of three. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/O2WQifwzQnQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/O2WQifwzQnQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Chaos Prophet” (Live Excerpt)</center>

Birth Of The Prophet arrived shortly thereafter and has been played consistently since. A very ambitious and fantastical debut concept album, part one of three, from this French band. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/O2WQifwzQnQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/O2WQifwzQnQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Chaos Prophet” (Live Excerpt)</center>

3432 — This album took me a long time to find. I initially heard an MP3 of the song “Chaos Prophet” on a French metal site. The song was very much like something from Therion’s Lemuira/Sirius B albums: symphonic death/power metal. I contacted the band about the album and it wasn’t finished yet. I waited. When it was released it was impossible for me to buy. The French site selling it did not ship to the United States; every eBay seller was just another bootleg seller, those that plague the once-great eBay and turned it into a terrible, untrustworthy on-line store.

3552 — Tarot is a band that is completely new to me. Though I’ve owned Suffer Our Pleasures since its release, for some reason I thought it was their debut—and what a great debut I thought it was. However, I had no idea this band goes back all the way to 1986! I was shocked when I found out earlier this year; but stoked all the same, for I had some new Tarot material to seek out. And it was a good time to make this discovery, too, as their first five studio albums and one live album were remastered and re-released this year with a ton of bonus material: demos, unreleased tracks, and live songs. So that brings us to Crows Fly Black, the band’s seventh studio album. Led by the Hietala brothers, Marco (Nightwish, ex-Sinergy) and Zachary, Crows Fly Black brings back more of the 80s metal style found on their earlier albums, something that was overshadowed by a more modern metal style on Suffer Our Pleasures. This album also features a new dynamic in the vocal department with Zachary lending his throat to some songs, giving them a slight Ozzy Osbourne feel. Crows Fly Black is an album needed to be heard. There’s nary a bad song in sight—which can also be said about each of their albums.

And it was a good time to make this discovery, too, as their first five studio albums and one live album were remastered and re-released this year with a ton of bonus material: demos, unreleased tracks, and live songs. So that brings us to Crows Fly Black, the band’s seventh studio album. Led by the Hietala brothers, Marco (Nightwish, ex-Sinergy) and Zachary, Crows Fly Black brings back more of the 80s metal style found on their earlier albums, something that was overshadowed by a more modern metal style on Suffer Our Pleasures. This album also features a new dynamic in the vocal department with Zachary lending his throat to some songs, giving them a slight Ozzy Osbourne feel. Crows Fly Black is an album needed to be heard. There’s nary a bad song in sight—which can also be said about each of their albums. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/s27uPumkDkg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s27uPumkDkg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Ashes To The Stars” (Official Video)</center>

However, I had no idea this band goes back all the way to 1986! I was shocked when I found out earlier this year; but stoked all the same, for I had some new Tarot material to seek out. And it was a good time to make this discovery, too, as their first five studio albums and one live album were remastered and re-released this year with a ton of bonus material: demos, unreleased tracks, and live songs. So that brings us to Crows Fly Black, the band’s seventh studio album. Led by the Hietala brothers, Marco (Nightwish, ex-Sinergy) and Zachary, Crows Fly Black brings back more of the 80s metal style found on their earlier albums, something that was overshadowed by a more modern metal style on Suffer Our Pleasures. This album also features a new dynamic in the vocal department with Zachary lending his throat to some songs, giving them a slight Ozzy Osbourne feel. Crows Fly Black is an album needed to be heard. There’s nary a bad song in sight—which can also be said about each of their albums. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/s27uPumkDkg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s27uPumkDkg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Ashes To The Stars” (Official Video)</center>

<a href="" target="new">Cataract - Kingdom</a> — The music fan who doesn’t listen would label Cataract as a metalcore band. They would be wrong—sort of. Cataract is more of a modern death metal groove band, but I won’t argue with the metalcore tag. They do have some similarities, but they steer clear of any sort of clean singing, there’s no hardcore posturing, no by-the-numbers solos, or anything typical of the metalcore genre; and thus, in my eyes, they do not fit the metalcore mold. There are breakdowns, but they're more like old school thrash breakdowns rather than typical “get da fuck up” metalcore breakdowns. But it matters little what genre label they fall under. Kingdom is the band's fourth full-length release and it kills from beginning to end. Either way you look at it, Kingdom is an outstanding and brutal piece of modern metal, one well worth listening to.

Cataract is more of a modern death metal groove band, but I won’t argue with the metalcore tag. They do have some similarities, but they steer clear of any sort of clean singing, there’s no hardcore posturing, no by-the-numbers solos, or anything typical of the metalcore genre; and thus, in my eyes, they do not fit the metalcore mold. There are breakdowns, but they're more like old school thrash breakdowns rather than typical “get da fuck up” metalcore breakdowns. But it matters little what genre label they fall under. Kingdom is the band's fourth full-length release and it kills from beginning to end. Either way you look at it, Kingdom is an outstanding and brutal piece of modern metal, one well worth listening to. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/08J-1hhmLyk"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/08J-1hhmLyk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Denial Of Life” (Official Video)</center>

3113 — ...And the turd was flungeth. Edguy's Rocket Ride did not hit the spot for a lot of fans. The abundance of rock tendencies and catchy hooks had many fans scratching their heads and flinging poo at anyone who liked this album. I loved this album; thus ate a lot of poo. I grew up living on 80s rock/metal, so this album was awesome for me. I wasn't blown away by every song, but I absolutely loved most of them. “Sacrifice,” “Rocket Ride,” “Wasted Time,” “Fucking With Fire (Hair Force One),” “The Asylum,” and “Superheroes” are all outstanding tracks; and the rest are very good. All but one, anyway…. “Trinidad.” I hate you, Trinidad! You’re damn near the worst song I've ever heard. You’re not funny, you’re not good, you’re not catchy; you’re terrible and highly annoying. Edguy occasionally indulge in their oddball sense of humor too much and misfire. “Trinidad” is another misfire, as is the official video for “Superheroes” (below). Otherwise, Rocket Ride is a great album. The 80s rock fan in me declares it my favorite Edguy album.

All but one, anyway…. “Trinidad.” I hate you, Trinidad! You’re damn near the worst song I've ever heard. You’re not funny, you’re not good, you’re not catchy; you’re terrible and highly annoying. Edguy occasionally indulge in their oddball sense of humor too much and misfire. “Trinidad” is another misfire, as is the official video for “Superheroes” (below). Otherwise, Rocket Ride is a great album. The 80s rock fan in me declares it my favorite Edguy album.

I grew up living on 80s rock/metal, so this album was awesome for me. I wasn't blown away by every song, but I absolutely loved most of them. “Sacrifice,” “Rocket Ride,” “Wasted Time,” “Fucking With Fire (Hair Force One),” “The Asylum,” and “Superheroes” are all outstanding tracks; and the rest are very good. All but one, anyway…. “Trinidad.” I hate you, Trinidad! You’re damn near the worst song I've ever heard. You’re not funny, you’re not good, you’re not catchy; you’re terrible and highly annoying. Edguy occasionally indulge in their oddball sense of humor too much and misfire. “Trinidad” is another misfire, as is the official video for “Superheroes” (below). Otherwise, Rocket Ride is a great album. The 80s rock fan in me declares it my favorite Edguy album. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a-hG4l2gs-A"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a-hG4l2gs-A" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Superheroes” (Official Video)</center>

3625 — The first song I heard from Communic was “Under A Luminous Sky, and the song still gives me goose bumps when I hear Oddleif Strensland’s wail during the chorus. The first time I heard the song I knew I would love this band. You’ll hear a lot of people compare them to Nevermore, and this is mainly due to Strensland’s very similar vocal style to Warrel Dane; but take that away and the band isn’t all that similar in musical style. Nevermore have always had some progressive elements, but they’ve never been a progressive band. Communic is. Waves Of Visual Decay may remind people of Nevermore, but it stands strong on its own two legs. Songs like the brutal “Under A Luminous Sky,” the melodic, foreboding “Frozen Asleep In The Park,” “Fooled By The Serpent,” and “At Dewy Prime” are simply too good to overlook, too brilliant to simply blow off as “just another Nevermore wannabe”—which I recently heard someone say. Waves Of Visual Decay goes down in 2006 as one hell of a progressive metal album, easily one of the best.

Nevermore have always had some progressive elements, but they’ve never been a progressive band. Communic is. Waves Of Visual Decay may remind people of Nevermore, but it stands strong on its own two legs. Songs like the brutal “Under A Luminous Sky,” the melodic, foreboding “Frozen Asleep In The Park,” “Fooled By The Serpent,” and “At Dewy Prime” are simply too good to overlook, too brilliant to simply blow off as “just another Nevermore wannabe”—which I recently heard someone say. Waves Of Visual Decay goes down in 2006 as one hell of a progressive metal album, easily one of the best. <center><a href="http://www.communic.org/media/luminous.mp3" target="new">Under A Luminous Sky</a></center>

3387 — Wastefall is yet another progressive band I discovered in 2006. Hailing from Greece, after two successful albums, Wastefall was scooped up by Ken Golden and signed to the Sensory Records division of The Laser’s Edge, Golden’s multi-genre label. Wastefall share shelf space with similar killers like Zero Hour, fellow Greek prog-band Fragile Vastness, and Pain Of Salvation (only for the similarity in vocals). Self-Exile is heavy, modern progressive metal, but not self-indulgent where you get lost trying to follow the song. The songs are definitely progressive with that seemingly discordant instrumentation that somehow contradicts itself and mixes seamlessly, but it's also extremely catchy. The album features no instrumentals either, except for the short Dead Can Dance-like intro that contains some chanting. I was very impressed upon my first listen, and I remain so today. Wastefall has two other albums, Falling Stars And Rising Scars and Soulrain 21, the former, the debut, being very solid but flawed, and the latter being equally as good as Self-Exile, if not a bit less realized. A band most definitely worth your time.

The album features no instrumentals either, except for the short Dead Can Dance-like intro that contains some chanting. I was very impressed upon my first listen, and I remain so today. Wastefall has two other albums, Falling Stars And Rising Scars and Soulrain 21, the former, the debut, being very solid but flawed, and the latter being equally as good as Self-Exile, if not a bit less realized. A band most definitely worth your time. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ISpX4rgIHQI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ISpX4rgIHQI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Self Extinction Project” (Official Video from Soulrain 21)</center>

Hailing from Greece, after two successful albums, Wastefall was scooped up by Ken Golden and signed to the Sensory Records division of The Laser’s Edge, Golden’s multi-genre label. Wastefall share shelf space with similar killers like Zero Hour, fellow Greek prog-band Fragile Vastness, and Pain Of Salvation (only for the similarity in vocals).

Hailing from Greece, after two successful albums, Wastefall was scooped up by Ken Golden and signed to the Sensory Records division of The Laser’s Edge, Golden’s multi-genre label. Wastefall share shelf space with similar killers like Zero Hour, fellow Greek prog-band Fragile Vastness, and Pain Of Salvation (only for the similarity in vocals). Self-Exile is heavy, modern progressive metal, but not self-indulgent where you get lost trying to follow the song. The songs are definitely progressive with that seemingly discordant instrumentation that somehow contradicts itself and mixes seamlessly, but it's also extremely catchy. The album features no instrumentals either, except for the short Dead Can Dance-like intro that contains some chanting. I was very impressed upon my first listen, and I remain so today. Wastefall has two other albums, Falling Stars And Rising Scars and Soulrain 21, the former, the debut, being very solid but flawed, and the latter being equally as good as Self-Exile, if not a bit less realized. A band most definitely worth your time. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ISpX4rgIHQI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ISpX4rgIHQI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Self Extinction Project” (Official Video from Soulrain 21)</center>

3441 — Clearly 2006 was the Year of Prog for me. Degree Absolute was another newfound band discovered solely on the trust I have with Sensory Records. I saw it in the record store, the cover looked cool, I flip it over...Bam!...Sensory Records—sold! And yet again I was not let down. Degree Absolute is the product of one Aaron Bell. A long time in the making, this self-titled debut, but well worth the wait, I assume, for those who were waiting. It's a killer album, very heavy and dynamic, and well written. The album includes three instrumentals in a row—which I found odd. Most prog-metal albums have at least one instrumental, but I know of none to include three in a row, unless, of course, they're an instrumental band. Fans of Sensory Records label mates would do well to give this album a listen.

3441 — Clearly 2006 was the Year of Prog for me. Degree Absolute was another newfound band discovered solely on the trust I have with Sensory Records. I saw it in the record store, the cover looked cool, I flip it over...Bam!...Sensory Records—sold! And yet again I was not let down. Degree Absolute is the product of one Aaron Bell. A long time in the making, this self-titled debut, but well worth the wait, I assume, for those who were waiting. It's a killer album, very heavy and dynamic, and well written. The album includes three instrumentals in a row—which I found odd. Most prog-metal albums have at least one instrumental, but I know of none to include three in a row, unless, of course, they're an instrumental band.

3491 — Cellador is a band many of us here at MetalReviews.com have had the pleasure of listening to since their debut demo, mainly due to a crazed, obsessed, and slightly stalker-like fan spamming our forum with praise for the band. Good thing, too, because Cellador is easily one of the best power metal bands to come out of the United States in a long time. Their sound gives a heavy nod to the early days of Helloween while never coming close to being a clone. It’s your standard brand of power metal so you’re not going to find much in the originality department; but if you’re looking for a hefty chunk of extremely fast power metal with great hooks, then Cellador is a no-brainer. On the strength of their debut demo EP, Leaving All Behind, the band secured a deal with Metal Blade. A new album was quickly ordered up. The result was Enter Deception, an album consisting of the four tracks from the demo EP, slightly altered, but essentially the same, and five new tracks. The new songs were not flawless, but considering how fast they had to come up with this new material to meet Metal Blade’s ridiculously short deadline, the band did a stellar job. The quality of musicianship and songwriting is extremely high for such a young band, and even though vocalist Michael Gremio (aka Michael Smith Jr.) looks like the product of a Papa Roach/Avenged Sevenfold orgy, he can wail with the best of them, and put many more to shame. Cellador stands tall with Enter Deception within the tight confines of the genre, and they sit secure atop the heap when it comes to power metal bands from the US.

The new songs were not flawless, but considering how fast they had to come up with this new material to meet Metal Blade’s ridiculously short deadline, the band did a stellar job. The quality of musicianship and songwriting is extremely high for such a young band, and even though vocalist Michael Gremio (aka Michael Smith Jr.) looks like the product of a Papa Roach/Avenged Sevenfold orgy, he can wail with the best of them, and put many more to shame. Cellador stands tall with Enter Deception within the tight confines of the genre, and they sit secure atop the heap when it comes to power metal bands from the US. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7X7hr-Ky8tg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7X7hr-Ky8tg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Leaving All Behind” (Official Video)</center>

Their sound gives a heavy nod to the early days of Helloween while never coming close to being a clone.

The new songs were not flawless, but considering how fast they had to come up with this new material to meet Metal Blade’s ridiculously short deadline, the band did a stellar job. The quality of musicianship and songwriting is extremely high for such a young band, and even though vocalist Michael Gremio (aka Michael Smith Jr.) looks like the product of a Papa Roach/Avenged Sevenfold orgy, he can wail with the best of them, and put many more to shame. Cellador stands tall with Enter Deception within the tight confines of the genre, and they sit secure atop the heap when it comes to power metal bands from the US. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7X7hr-Ky8tg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7X7hr-Ky8tg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Leaving All Behind” (Official Video)</center>

The result was Enter Deception, an album consisting of the four tracks from the demo EP, slightly altered, but essentially the same, and four new tracks (fifth was written but never finished). The new songs were not flawless, but considering how fast they had to come up with this new material to meet Metal Blade’s ridiculously short deadline, the band did a stellar job. The quality of musicianship and songwriting is extremely high for such a young band, and even though vocalist Michael Gremio (aka Michael Smith Jr.) looks like the product of a Papa Roach/Avenged Sevenfold orgy, he can wail with the best of them, and put many more to shame. With Enter Deception, Cellador stands tall within the tight confines of the genre, and they sit secure atop the heap when it comes to power metal bands from the US. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7X7hr-Ky8tg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7X7hr-Ky8tg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Leaving All Behind” (Official Video)</center>

3491 — Cellador is a band many of us here at MetalReviews.com have had the pleasure of listening to since their debut demo, mainly due to a crazed, obsessed, and slightly stalker-like fan (aka groupie) spamming our forum with praise for the band. Good thing, too, because Cellador is easily one of the best power metal bands to come out of the United States in a long time. Their sound gives a heavy nod to the early days of Helloween while never coming close to being a clone.

3390 — Canvas Solaris changed my outlook on the whole instrumental genre. I have always been uninterested in instrumental music; but for whatever reason I was very impressed with Canvas Solaris’ Penumbra Diffuse. Since then I’ve picked up albums from a few more instrumental progressive bands, namely Canvas Solaris’ previous two releases, Liquid Tension Experiment, OSI, and A Triggering Myth. I am pleased with them all. I have also learned that my aversion to instrumental music stems from my general dislike of musicians like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani and their albums. I can appreciate their skill but their music doesn’t grab me, there’s not enough depth beyond the look-at-me-go factor. It strikes me as a little different with progressive bands doing instrumental work; while it is inherently self-indulgent it never comes off as anything but one cohesive package, nothing standing out more than another, everything is there for the sake of the song and not for the musician. Whether this notion is true or not is beyond me, but that’s where I stand on the subject. Penumbra Diffuse is not only a great album but it was a gateway album for me; thus becomes my biggest surprise of 2006.

I can appreciate their skill but their music doesn’t grab me, there’s not enough depth beyond the look-at-me-go factor. It strikes me as a little different with progressive bands doing instrumental work; while it is inherently self-indulgent it never comes off as anything but one cohesive package, nothing standing out more than another, everything is there for the sake of the song and not for the musician. Whether this notion is true or not is beyond me, but that’s where I stand on the subject. Penumbra Diffuse is not only a great album but it was a gateway album for me; thus becomes my biggest surprise of 2006. <center><a href="http://www.lasersedgegroup.com/soundfiles/panoramic.mp3" target="new">Panoramic Long-Range Vertigo</a></center>

Evanescence - The Open Door — I am not afraid to admit to liking mainstream music. I never turn my back on a band if they become popular while continuing to write good music. I don’t find it amusing to bash bands that I dislike. I simply dislike them, and then focus my time and energy on things I do like. Being a fan of Evanescence I’ve had to battle my way through armies of turds who do the exact opposite of what I do. They dislike mainstream music for no other reason than it being mainstream, they hate on bands for becoming successful, and they spend far more time bashing bands they dislike than praising bands they do like. Going against the grain, I thought Fallen was a great album. I’d been lucky enough to follow the band from their earliest demo and I always thought they were great, and never imagined them to achieve the level of success they did. Evanescence was once Amy Lee and Ben Moody; but a few years back Moody left the band. That left Amy Lee, and left me with little faith. Fast forward a few years and we have The Open Door. I envisioned a very pop-oriented, fluffy, girl-power reincarnation of the band this time out. Some have labeled The Open Door as radio-friendly pap because of the catchy and relatively trite lead-off single “Call Me When You’re Sober,” but what Amy Lee churned out for the rest of the album is darker, heavier, and more grandiose with more depth and layers than anything the band did previously. It shocked the hell out of me. So while the haters will hate and the so-called fans of Fallen fail to hear that everything that was on Fallen is here, just in greater numbers, I’ll sit back happy, laughing while they waste their time talking their trash, and enjoy a great album.

So while the haters will hate and the so-called fans of Fallen fail to hear that everything that was on Fallen is here, just in greater numbers, I’ll sit back happy, laughing while they waste their time talking their trash, and enjoy a great album.

<a href="http://www.evanescence.com" target="new">Evanescence - The Open Door</a> — I am not afraid to admit to liking mainstream music. I never turn my back on a band if they become popular while continuing to write good music. I don’t find it amusing to bash bands that I dislike. I simply dislike them, and then focus my time and energy on things I do like. Being a fan of Evanescence I’ve had to battle my way through armies of turds that do the exact opposite of what I do. They dislike mainstream music for no other reason than it being mainstream; they hate on bands for becoming successful, and they spend far more time bashing bands they dislike than praising bands they do like. It makes little sense to me. So going against the grain, I thought Fallen was a great album. I’d been lucky enough to follow the band from their earliest demo and I always thought they were very good, and never imagined them to achieve the level of success they did. Evanescence was once Amy Lee and Ben Moody; but a few years back Moody left the band. That left Amy Lee, and left me with little faith. Fast forward a few years and we have The Open Door. I envisioned a very pop-oriented, fluffy, girl-power reincarnation of the band this time out. Some have labeled The Open Door as radio-friendly pap because of the catchy and relatively trite lead-off single “Call Me When You’re Sober,” but what Amy Lee churned out for the rest of the album is darker, heavier, and more grandiose with more depth and layers than anything the band did previously.

Some have labeled The Open Door as radio-friendly pap because of the catchy and relatively trite lead-off single “Call Me When You’re Sober,” but what Amy Lee churned out for the rest of the album is darker, heavier, and more grandiose with more depth and layers than anything the band did previously. It shocked the hell out of me. So while the haters will hate and the so-called fans of Fallen fail to hear that everything that was on Fallen is here, just in greater numbers, I’ll sit back happy, laughing while they waste their time talking their trash, and enjoy a great album. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_v8q7-ZOtAE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_v8q7-ZOtAE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Lithium” (Official Video)</center>

<a href="http://www.evanescence.com" target="new">Evanescence - The Open Door</a> — I am not afraid to admit to liking mainstream music. I never turn my back on a band if they become popular while continuing to write good music. I don’t find it amusing to bash bands that I dislike.

They dislike mainstream music for no other reason than it being mainstream; they hate on bands for becoming successful, and they spend far more time bashing bands they dislike than praising bands they do like.

I never turn my back on a band if they become popular while continuing to write good music. I don’t find it amusing to bash bands that I dislike. I simply dislike them, and then focus my time and energy on things I do like. Being a fan of Evanescence I’ve had to battle my way through armies of turds that do the exact opposite of what I do, and with much more passion. They dislike mainstream music for no other reason than it being mainstream music; they hate on bands for becoming successful, and they spend far more time bashing bands they dislike than praising bands they do like. It makes little sense to me. So going against the grain, I thought Fallen was a great album. I’d been lucky enough to follow the band from their earliest demo and I always thought they were very good, and never imagined them to achieve the level of success they did. Evanescence was once Amy Lee and Ben Moody; but a few years back Moody left the band. That left Amy Lee, and left me with little faith. Fast forward a few years and we have The Open Door. I envisioned a very pop-oriented, fluffy, girl-power reincarnation of the band this time out. Some have labeled The Open Door as radio-friendly pap because of the catchy and relatively trite lead-off single “Call Me When You’re Sober,” but what Amy Lee churned out for the rest of the album is darker, heavier, and more grandiose with more depth and layers than anything the band did previously. It shocked the hell out of me. So while the haters will hate and many of the so-called fans of Fallen fail to hear that everything that was on Fallen is here, just in greater numbers, I’ll sit back happy, laughing while they waste their time talking their trash, and enjoy a great album. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_v8q7-ZOtAE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_v8q7-ZOtAE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Lithium” (Official Video)</center>

3236 — When I first heard a clip of “Foxy Foxy,” Educated Horses’ lead-off single, I was baffled. The signature Rob Zombie sound—a sound that goes back to the 80s—was gone. “Foxy Foxy” just sounded weird. But then I began to think about some of the more recent tracks Zombie had released; songs like “Pussy Liquor” and “Two-Lane Blacktop” and “Girl On Fire.” These songs were also very different from the typical Zombie, but I liked them. At this point “Foxy Foxy” was only a streaming clip online, so I waited until the complete song was released before passing judgement. When it was finally released in complete form I was again taken aback. “Foxy Foxy” is very different, very stripped down, with an almost late 70s rock vibe. After a few spins, though, I was hooked. Educated Horses is a mix of the heavier White Zombie-like tracks (“Let It All Bleed Out,” “American Witch,” “The Lords Of Salem”) that Zombie carried over to his solo albums and more experimental, laid back rock tracks (“Foxy Foxy,” “Death Of It All,” “The Scorpion Sleeps”). Though not as hard-hitting as previous Zombie albums, Educated Horses turned out to be a great addition to my collection. If you haven’t given it a chance, I suggest you do; just leave your expectations at the door.

If you haven’t given it a chance, I suggest you do; just leave your expectations at the door. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WztgFf0rSxI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WztgFf0rSxI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “American Witch” (Official Video)</center>

3236 — When I first heard a clip of “Foxy Foxy,” Educated Horses’ lead-off single, I was baffled. The signature Rob Zombie sound—a sound that goes back to the 80s—was gone. “Foxy Foxy” just sounded weird. But then I began to think about some of the more recent tracks Zombie had released; songs like “Pussy Liquor” and “Two-Lane Blacktop” and “Girl On Fire.” These songs were also very different from the typical Zombie, but I liked them. At this point “Foxy Foxy” was only a streaming clip online, so I waited until the complete song was released before passing judgement. When it was finally released in complete form I was again taken aback. “Foxy Foxy” is very different, very stripped down, with an almost late 70s rock vibe. After a few spins, though, I was hooked.

3237 — Speaking of expectations, Operation: Mindcrime II was an album I tried hard to not expect anything from. The live bootleg tracks the band posted on their site were mildly promising at best, but the quality wasn’t good enough to make a call. Then a radio version of “The Hands” was released, and my curiosity was peaked. “The Hands” is a great song. Could I expect more? I thought. It was tough to put that sort of faith into this album. Hear In The Now Frontier was the album where Queensrÿche really shifted styles. Empire is a world away from their more recent output; so how could we expect anything remotely comparable to the original Operation: Mindcrime album, a classic, possibly the greatest metal concept album of all time? Luckily, Operation: Mindcrime II turned out to be a pleasant surprise when it was finally released. Stylistically it bears little resemblance to the original album; but that’s no surprise considering the album was basically written by Geoff Tate, album producer Jason Slater, and former Klover—a great, short-lived punk band—frontman/guitarist and current Chris DeGarmo replacement Mike Stone. (And for those who continue to insist that Chris DeGarmo would bring Queensrÿche back to their glory days, knows this: Chris wrote 90% of Hear In The Frontier, it was essentially a DeGarmo solo album; he later left Queensrÿche and formed the modern alt-rock band Spys4Darwin with the vocalist from Sponge and two Alice In Chains members; he then went on to contribute to songs that sounded nothing remotely like early Queensrÿche to Queensrÿche’s album Tribe; and finally his most recent output had him working with the very non-metal band Dredg. Chris DeGarmo is further away from the old Queensrÿche than any other member of the band. He won’t help. Please stop suggesting otherwise.) With that said, songs like “The Hands,” “Re-Arrange You,” “Signs Say Go,” and “Murderer?” are excellent, while many others are very good. Only a few tracks on Operation: Mindcrime II failed to hit their mark. The storyline was well done, but the mystery of the original isn’t found on this album. It’s a dramatic tale of Nikki’s final days, his struggle with life after prison, the lies, and the betrayal. A worthy conclusion, and a big surprise and a very good album; easily the best since the underrated Promised Land.

Stylistically it bears little resemblance to the original album; but that’s no surprise considering the album was basically written by Geoff Tate, album producer Jason Slater, and former Klover—a great, short-lived punk band—frontman/guitarist and current Chris DeGarmo replacement Mike Stone. (And for those who continue to insist that Chris DeGarmo would bring Queensrÿche back to their glory days, knows this: Chris wrote 90% of Hear In The Frontier, it was essentially a DeGarmo solo album; he later left Queensrÿche and formed the modern alt-rock band Spys4Darwin with the vocalist from Sponge and two Alice In Chains members; he then went on to contribute to songs that sounded nothing remotely like early Queensrÿche to Queensrÿche’s album Tribe; and finally his most recent output had him working with the very non-metal band Dredg. Chris DeGarmo is further away from the old Queensrÿche than any other member of the band. He won’t help. Please stop suggesting otherwise.) With that said, songs like “The Hands,” “Re-Arrange You,” “Signs Say Go,” and “Murderer?” are excellent, while many others are very good. Only a few tracks on Operation: Mindcrime II failed to hit their mark. The storyline was well done, but the mystery of the original isn’t found on this album. It’s a dramatic tale of Nikki’s final days, his struggle with life after prison, the lies, and the betrayal. A worthy conclusion, and a big surprise and a very good album; easily the best since the underrated Promised Land. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wsJrqlEZTDg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wsJrqlEZTDg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “The Hands” (Official Video)</center>

3237 — Speaking of expectations, Operation: Mindcrime II was an album I tried hard to not expect anything from. The live bootleg tracks the band posted on their site were mildly promising at best, but the quality wasn’t good enough to make a call. Then a radio version of “The Hands” was released, and my curiosity was peaked. “The Hands” is a great song. Could I expect more? I thought. It was tough to put that sort of faith into this album.

Stylistically it bears little resemblance to the original album; but that’s no surprise considering the album was basically written by Geoff Tate, album producer Jason Slater, and former Klover—a great, short-lived punk band—frontman/guitarist and current Chris DeGarmo replacement Mike Stone. (And for those who continue to insist that Chris DeGarmo would bring Queensrÿche back to their glory days, knows this: Chris wrote 90% of Hear In The Frontier, it was essentially a DeGarmo solo album; he later left Queensrÿche and formed the modern alt-rock band Spys4Darwin with the vocalist from Sponge and two Alice In Chains members; he then went on to contribute to songs that sounded nothing remotely like early Queensrÿche to Queensrÿche’s album Tribe; and finally his most recent output had him working with the very non-metal band Dredg. Chris DeGarmo is further away from the old Queensrÿche than any other member of the band. He won’t help. Please stop suggesting otherwise.) With that said, songs like “The Hands,” “Re-Arrange You,” “Signs Say Go,” and “Murderer?” are excellent, while many others are very good. Only a few tracks on Operation: Mindcrime II failed to hit their mark. The storyline was well done, but the mystery of the original isn’t found on this album. It’s a dramatic tale of Nikki’s final days, his struggle with life after prison, the lies, and the betrayal. A worthy conclusion, and a big surprise and a very good album; easily the best since the underrated Promised Land. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wsJrqlEZTDg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wsJrqlEZTDg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “The Hands” (Official Video)</center>

The live bootleg tracks the band posted on their site were mildly promising at best, but the quality wasn’t good enough to make a call. Then a radio version of “The Hands” was released, and my curiosity was peaked. “The Hands” is a great song. Could I expect more? I thought. It was tough to put that sort of faith into this album.

Stylistically it bears little resemblance to the original album; but that’s no surprise considering the album was basically written by Geoff Tate, album producer Jason Slater, and former Klover—a great, short-lived punk band—frontman/guitarist and current Chris DeGarmo replacement Mike Stone. (And for those who continue to insist that Chris DeGarmo would bring Queensrÿche back to their glory days, knows this: Chris wrote 90% of Hear In The Frontier, it was essentially a DeGarmo solo album; he later left Queensrÿche and formed the modern alt-rock band Spys4Darwin with the vocalist from Sponge and two Alice In Chains members; he then went on to contribute to songs that sounded nothing remotely like early Queensrÿche to Queensrÿche’s album Tribe; and finally his most recent output had him working with the very non-metal band Dredg. Chris DeGarmo is further away from the old Queensrÿche than any other member of the band. He won’t help. Please stop suggesting otherwise.) With that said, songs like “The Hands,” “Re-Arrange You,” “Signs Say Go,” and “Murderer?” are excellent, while many others are very good. Only a few tracks on Operation: Mindcrime II failed to hit their mark. The storyline was well done, but the mystery of the original isn’t found on this album. It’s a dramatic tale of Nikki’s final days, his struggle with life after prison, the lies, and the betrayal. A worthy conclusion, and a big surprise and a very good album; easily the best since the underrated Promised Land. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wsJrqlEZTDg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wsJrqlEZTDg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “The Hands” (Official Video)</center>

The live bootleg tracks the band posted on their site were mildly promising at best, but the quality wasn’t good enough to make a call. Then a radio version of “The Hands” was released, and my curiosity was peaked. “The Hands” is a great song. Could I expect more? I thought. It was tough to put that sort of faith into this album.

3505 — I tried hard to like Trivium’s first two albums, but it wasn’t happening. Musically the band is damn good. But Matt Heafy’s screams are terrible. He sounds like he’s dying of the flu, been smoking cigars for 40 years, and hasn’t had a drink of anything in weeks. Terrible. Then they recorded a cover of “Master Of Puppets” for a Metallica tribute album put out by Kerrang! magazine. This time out Heafy didn’t scream, but sang aggressively; and all of a sudden Trivium weren’t so bad to me. In fact, their cover of “Master Of Puppets” is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Then songs from their upcoming album, The Crusade, began to be posted online, and these songs were also sung in the same non-screamo retard manner; and again, Trivium weren’t so bad to me. The Crusade turned out to be a great modern day metal album. Musically little changed, but with the exclusion of the screams the band sounded quite different. Sadly it seemed to just present another angle from which people could fling their annoying hate. It wasn’t old school enough for the old school fans, and it wasn’t metalcore enough for the emo turds. But it was just right for me! It’s not 100% original, but the songs are great and Heafy isn’t screaming. A slight stylistic shift and now I’m impressed. “Ignition,” “Detonation,” “Entrance Of The Conflagration,” “To The Rats,” and “Tread The Floods” are great old school metal songs with a new school approach, while “Anthem (We Are The Fire)” and “The Rising” are catchy 80’s metal jams. The bottom line is that The Crusade is a solid album for those openminded enough to give it a chance.

He sounds like he’s dying of the flu, been smoking cigars for 40 years, and hasn’t had a drink of anything in weeks. Terrible. Then they recorded a cover of “Master Of Puppets” for a Metallica tribute album put out by Kerrang! magazine. This time out Heafy didn’t scream, but sang aggressively; and all of a sudden Trivium weren’t so bad to me. In fact, their cover of “Master Of Puppets” is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Then songs from their upcoming album, The Crusade, began to be posted online, and these songs were also sung in the same non-screamo retard manner; and again, Trivium weren’t so bad to me. The Crusade turned out to be a great modern day metal album. Musically little changed, but with the exclusion of the screams the band sounded quite different. Sadly it seemed to just present another angle from which people could fling their annoying hate. It wasn’t old school enough for the old school fans, and it wasn’t metalcore enough for the emo turds. But it was just right for me! It’s not 100% original, but the songs are great and Heafy isn’t screaming. A slight stylistic shift and now I’m impressed. “Ignition,” “Detonation,” “Entrance Of The Conflagration,” “To The Rats,” and “Tread The Floods” are great old school metal songs with a new school approach, while “Anthem (We Are The Fire)” and “The Rising” are catchy 80’s metal jams. The bottom line is that The Crusade is a solid album for those openminded enough to give it a chance. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iNW392MuGTg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iNW392MuGTg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Entrance Of The Conflagration” (Official Video)</center>

The bottom line is that The Crusade is a solid album for those openminded enough to give it a chance. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iNW392MuGTg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iNW392MuGTg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Entrance Of The Conflagration” (Official Video)</center>

3505 — I tried hard to like Trivium’s first two albums, but it wasn’t happening. Musically the band is damn good. But Matt Heafy’s screams are terrible. He sounds like he’s dying of the flu, been smoking cigars for 40 years, and hasn’t had a drink of anything in weeks. Terrible. Then they recorded a cover of “Master Of Puppets” for a Metallica tribute album put out by Kerrang! magazine. This time out Heafy didn’t scream, but sang aggressively; and all of a sudden Trivium weren’t so bad to me. In fact, their cover of “Master Of Puppets” is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Then songs from their upcoming album, The Crusade, began to be posted online, and these songs were also sung in the same non-screamo retard manner; and again, Trivium weren’t so bad to me. The Crusade turned out to be a great modern day metal album. Musically little changed, but with the exclusion of the screams the band sounded quite different. Sadly it seemed to just present another angle from which people could fling their annoying hate. It wasn’t old school enough for the old school fans, and it wasn’t metalcore enough for the emo turds. But it was just right for me! It’s not 100% original, but the songs are great and Heafy isn’t screaming. A slight stylistic shift and now I’m impressed. “Ignition,” “Detonation,” “Entrance Of The Conflagration,” “To The Rats,” and “Tread The Floods” are great old school metal songs with a new school approach, while “Anthem (We Are The Fire)” and “The Rising” are catchy 80’s metal jams.

This time out Heafy didn’t scream, but sang aggressively; and all of a sudden Trivium weren’t so bad to me. In fact, their cover of “Master Of Puppets” is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Then songs from their upcoming album, The Crusade, began to be posted online, and these songs were also sung in the same non-screamo retard manner; and again, Trivium weren’t so bad to me. The Crusade turned out to be a great modern day metal album. Musically little changed, but with the exclusion of the screams the band sounded quite different. Sadly it seemed to just present another angle from which people could fling their annoying hate. It wasn’t old school enough for the old school fans, and it wasn’t metalcore enough for the emo turds. But it was just right for me! It’s not 100% original, but the songs are great and Heafy isn’t screaming. A slight stylistic shift and now I’m impressed. “Ignition,” “Detonation,” “Entrance Of The Conflagration,” “To The Rats,” and “Tread The Floods” are great old school metal songs with a new school approach, while “Anthem (We Are The Fire)” and “The Rising” are catchy 80’s metal jams. The bottom line is that The Crusade is a solid album for those openminded enough to give it a chance. <center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iNW392MuGTg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iNW392MuGTg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> “Entrance Of The Conflagration” (Official Video)</center>

3277 — Tool lost me on this one. A few great songs, but overall a very boring experience for me. Maybe I didn’t get it. I don’t know. All I know is that every time I put this album on I just feel like the band kind of lost themselves being a little too self-indulgent for nothing more than the sake of being self-indulgent. 10,000 Days is not a terrible by any means; but it’s only a hair above mediocre. The packaging is excellent, however. Too bad it couldn’t match the music.

<a href="http://www.roadrun.com" target="new">Roadrunner Records</a> — Roadrunner Records annoys the hell out of me. Black Label Society is one of my favorite bands, and their new album, Shot To Hell, is a great album from what I’ve heard. Sadly I haven’t bought it yet because Zakk and the boys decided to sign to Roadrunner; and long ago I vowed to never buy Roadrunner’s initial pressings because they continue to release those goddamned reissues. I’m all for a reissue with extra content, but if they insist on reissuing an album six months to a year after its initial release they need to start making it worth the extra money. Like the reissue of Jerry Cantrell’s Degradation Trip, for instance, which was a double album with eleven unreleased tracks. Now that was a worthy reissue. A reissue with worthless live songs, a video or two, and a tracks or two from a soundtrack or a single being released six months after it’s first pressing is nothing but another way to rip off fans. And these labels will sit around and wonder why people continue to download their releases for free!

3599 — Killswitch Engage embraced mainstream metalcore a little too much for this album. Alive Of Just Breathing, I think, will forever stand as the band’s best release. Howard Jones is a good singer, make no mistake, but original vocalist Jesse Leach (Seemless) is by far the better of the two. Leach’s days with Killswitch showcased him as a singer that sounded natural in tone, whereas Jones sounds very processed. The End Of Heartache, the first album with Jones, was also a very good album, but it would seem that the downward spiral began there. The music on As Daylight Dies is still very good, but the structures are mainstream cookie-cutter metalcore to the nth degree. The order of the day is screamo verses and cleanly-sung choruses. While the album is a good album, it pales in comparison to Alive Or Just Breathing and the self-titled debut. They can do much better than this.

The End Of Heartache, the first album with Jones, was also a very good album, but it would seem that the downward spiral began there. The music on As Daylight Dies is still very good, but the structures are mainstream cookie-cutter metalcore to the nth degree. The order of the day is screamo verses and cleanly-sung choruses. While the album is a good album, it pales in comparison to Alive Or Just Breathing and the self-titled debut. They can do much better than this.

<a href="http://www.roadrun.com" target="new">Roadrunner Records</a> — Roadrunner Records annoys the hell out of me. Black Label Society is one of my favorite bands, and their new album, Shot To Hell, is a great album from what I’ve heard. Sadly I haven’t bought it yet because Zakk and the boys decided to sign to Roadrunner; and long ago I vowed to never buy Roadrunner’s initial pressings because they continue to release those goddamned reissues. I’m all for a reissue with extra content, but if they insist on reissuing an album six months to a year after its initial release they need to start making it worth the extra money. Like the reissue of Jerry Cantrell’s Degradation Trip, for instance, which was a double album with eleven unreleased tracks. Now that was a worthy reissue. A reissue with worthless live songs, a video or two, and a tracks or two from a soundtrack or a single being released six months after it’s first pressing is nothing but another way to rip off fans. And these labels will sit around and wonder why people continue to download their releases for free! So I’m disappointed in Roadrunner Records and all the bands that I like that released albums through them this past year. Bastards!

And these labels will sit around and wonder why people continue to download their releases for free! So I’m disappointed in Roadrunner Records and all the bands that I like that released albums through them this past year (unless I got the promo for free—haha!). Bastards!

<a href="http://www.roadrun.com" target="new">Roadrunner Records</a> — Roadrunner Records annoys the hell out of me. Black Label Society is one of my favorite bands, and their new album, Shot To Hell, is a great album from what I’ve heard. Sadly, I haven’t bought it yet because Zakk and the boys decided to sign to Roadrunner; and long ago I vowed to never buy Roadrunner’s initial pressings because they continue to release those goddamned reissues. I’m all for a reissue with extra content, but if they insist on reissuing an album six months to a year after its initial release they need to start making it worth the extra money.

Beth Schuldiner & Guido Heijnens — Nothing like shitting on the legacy of Chuck Schuldiner. We don’t need to see this played out online anymore. While I don’t think the unfinished demos and ideas was a good way for Guido Heijnens to represent the late, great Schuldiner, the bottom line is that he was within his rights to do so. But enough is enough with the battle over Chuck’s “legacy”—which is about money, in case anyone couldn’t figure this out. Chuck’s sister, Beth Schuldiner, needs to do the following: 1. Pay Guido Heijnens the money that he paid Chuck, the money that Chuck’s family likely inherited, spent, and do not want to pay back. 2. Either release the second Control Denied album, finished or not, or let it rest. We all know you have the masters; quit dangling it just out of the fans’ reach. 3. You sound like a fool.

But enough is enough with the battle over Chuck’s “legacy”—which is about money, in case anyone couldn’t figure this out. Chuck’s sister, Beth Schuldiner, needs to do the following: 1. Pay Guido Heijnens the money that he paid Chuck, the money that Chuck’s family likely inherited, spent, and do not want to pay back. 2. Either release the second Control Denied album, finished or not, or let it rest. We all know you have the masters; quit dangling it just out of the fans’ reach. 3. You’re out of line. Grow up. Move on. Find a justified crusade. Chuck’s passing was a tragedy, indeed. But let his legacy be his music, not a stupid, childish, international online battle between his family and a (defunct) label owner. Or at least keep it one-on-one, because WE DON’T CARE!

— <center>— BEST SONG OF 2006 — <img src=""></img></center> This past year was a ridiculously great year for music in general—tons and tons of great releases in all genres I like—not just metal. Coming up with a list of fifteen was virtually impossible, and many of those I chose could likely be swapped with other albums many other reviewers here listed. I tried to think back on the albums I think I listened to most. I gave Zero Hour the distinction of Best Metal Album of 2006, and they surely deserve. I listened to that album a thousand times, at least! Had Solitude Aeturnus' new album, Alone, come out sooner they would like have taken the top spot. But even though I know I will love this album a few months from now, I can't know for sure; thus it's only fair to give it to Zero Hour and Specs Of Pictures Burnt Beyond, as I have given that album some rigorous listening. With the seemingly countless amazing releases we saw this past year, 2006 should go down as one of the best years for music in a long, long time. And as we look back on 2006 we can do so with excitement, because right there on the not-too-distant horizon we’ve got plenty more to look forward to. 2007 will bring new releases from Iced Earth, Nightingale, Orphaned Land, Judas Priest, Masterplan, Threshold, Megadeth, Battlelore, Sirenia, Rebellion, Suspyre, Avantasia, Swallow The Sun, Slumber, Trouble, Tristania, Nightrage, Dark Tranquillity, Manowar, After Forever, Dark Moor, Deadsoul Tribe, Machine Head, Primal Fear, Symphorce, Brainstorm, and that’s only scratching the surface. If you thought 2006 was a great year for metal, get ready for 2007! So as my first full year with MetalReviews.com comes to pass I’d like to thank the team for making it a great one; but highest praise goes to the readers of this site, and to the bands that continue to make such great music—and even those who do not! And a special thanks goes out to the forumites who make my 10-hour shifts at work much more enjoyable—and even those who do not! Thanks for a great year! Note: The above lists are in no special order.

And as we look back on 2006 we can do so with excitement, because right there on the not-too-distant horizon we’ve got plenty more to look forward to. 2007 will bring new releases from Iced Earth, Nightingale, Orphaned Land, Judas Priest, Masterplan, Threshold, Megadeth, Battlelore, Sirenia, Rebellion, Suspyre, Avantasia, Swallow The Sun, Slumber, Trouble, Tristania, Nightrage, Dark Tranquillity, Manowar, After Forever, Dark Moor, Deadsoul Tribe, Machine Head, Primal Fear, Symphorce, Brainstorm, and that’s only scratching the surface. If you thought 2006 was a great year for metal, get ready for 2007! So as my first full year with MetalReviews.com comes to pass I’d like to thank the team for making it a great one; but highest praise goes to the readers of this site, and to the bands that continue to make such great music—and even those who do not! And a special thanks goes out to the forumites who make my 10-hour shifts at work much more enjoyable—and even those who do not! Thanks for a great year!

— <center>— BEST SONG OF 2006 — Strapping Young Lad - You Suck <img src="http://www.metalreviews.com/reviews/img/1009%20-%20the%20new%20black.jpg"></img></center> This past year was a ridiculously great year for music in general—tons and tons of great releases in all genres I like—not just metal. Coming up with a list of fifteen was virtually impossible, and many of those I chose could likely be swapped with other albums many other reviewers here listed. I tried to think back on the albums I think I listened to most. I gave Zero Hour the distinction of Best Metal Album of 2006, and they surely deserve it. I listened to that album a thousand times—at least! Had Solitude Aeturnus' new album, Alone, come out sooner they would like have taken the top spot. But even though I know I will love this album a few months from now, I can't know for sure; thus it's only fair to give it to Zero Hour and Specs Of Pictures Burnt Beyond, as I have given that album some rigorous listening. With the seemingly countless amazing releases we saw this past year, 2006 should go down as one of the best years for music in a long, long time. And as we look back on 2006 we can do so without lament, because right there on the immediate horizon we’ve got plenty more to look forward to. 2007 will bring new releases from Iced Earth, Nightingale, Orphaned Land, Judas Priest, Masterplan, Threshold, Megadeth, Battlelore, Sirenia, Rebellion, Suspyre, Avantasia, Swallow The Sun, Slumber, Trouble, Tristania, Nightrage, Dark Tranquillity, Manowar, After Forever, Dark Moor, Deadsoul Tribe, Machine Head, Primal Fear, Symphorce, Brainstorm, and that’s only scratching the surface. If you thought 2006 was a great year for metal, get ready for 2007! So as my first—and, sadly, final—year with MetalReviews.com comes to pass, I’d like to thank the team for making it a great one; but highest praise goes to the readers of this site, and to the bands that continue to make such great music—and even to those who do not! And a special thanks goes out to the forumites who made my 10-hour shifts at work much more enjoyable—and even to those who do not! Thanks for a great year! Note: The above lists are in no special order.

Kayla

Top Albums

1.
3370 — Tales Along This Road saw these forest-dwelling Finns branching out farther into the realm of folk orchestration, with ample use of what a friend of mine described as a "really bitchin' accordion."
2.
3173 — Melodic, heavy and some of the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful music I've heard all year.
3.
3481 — While I enjoyed Fate Of Norns immensely, I was very glad to see Amon Amarth return to their more aggressive roots, with an album as focused, driven as bloodthirsty as a horde of Viking berserkers.
4.
Dragonforce - Inhuman Rampage — My favorite part of this band is probably thier sense of humor - they know power metal is supposed to be cheesy and silly, and revel in it. That doesn't stop them from being incredible musicians, though.
5.
3308 — Evil, intense and every bit as good as World Ov Worms and Aeon.
6.
3182 — Melodic but brutal, Kataklysm have put forth another solid, soul-burning album.
7.
3535 — You'd think a band using as many elements, melodies and styles in a single song as Into Eternity would fall apart, but not only is The Scattering Of Ashes cohesive, it's quite possibly their best.
8.
3263 — Aggressive but not without melody and catchy in the way only death metal can lay claim to, this might be the best thing they've done after Eaten Back To Life.
9.
3209 — Some of the best music to be lonely to I've ever heard.
10.
3161 — Melodic, multilayered and masterfully composed as always, plus the video for Vampira is hilarious.
11.
3307 — Folk with teeth, and a solid addition to their growing catalogue.
12.
3361 — Although The New Black is quite different than the rest of their catalogue, it's still a brilliant showing (and, if it turns out to be, a fitting farewell).
13.
3467 — It's a concept album about a journey through Hell. With Jitler. Enough said.
14.
3488 — Apparently the metal gods decided that 2006 would be the year that flagging bands came roaring back with a vengeance, and Unleashed certainly blew their last couple of albums out of the water with this one.
15.
3302 — With Soilwork and In Flames seemingly stuck in mediocrity, it's nice to know that at least one melodic death metal band is still going strong.

Surprises of the Year

1.
3362 — With their recent signing to Disconcert Music, Canopy is set to make a real name for themselves with their sincere, earnest slab of Swedish-style death metal.
2.
Deicide - The Stench Of Redemption — I admit, I expected a complete and utter pile from these guys, and was shocked to hear an absolutely excellent album, the best they've done since Once Upon The Cross.
3.
3491 — Right now, these guys are at the point I expect Canopy to be soon; grabbing attention left and right, and for good reason.
4.
3277 — Another band whose day had seemingly come and gone, especially with the direction A Perfect Circle had been heading. However, 10,000 Days is quiet, intense and introspective in the same way Lateralus is, but still showing musical evolution.
5.
3525 — With the news of Immortal's reformation, it would be easy to overlook Abbath's side project I, but you'd miss out on quite a lot.

Disappointments

1.
3229 — Shining exceptions notwithstanding, melodeath does seem to be flagging as a genre, and Norther are an unfortuate example as to why.
2.
3148 — For some reason, Thyrfing lost a lot of the energy and intensity they've shown on previous albums.
3.
Metalcore still exists.
4.
5.

Joke of the Year

1.
Glen Benton's forehead.
2.
Roadrunner reissuing Trivium's Ascendancy and Opeth's Ghost Reveries.
3.
4.
5.

Words / Final Thoughts

0
— 2006 was quite exciting, both for the metal world in general and me personally. There were some tremendous releases this year, and narrowing down a list of the top few was extremely difficult. It was my first year reviewing for this site, which I've enjoyed immensely and from which I've learned quite a bit as well. Here's hoping for another great year of metal in 2007!

Top Albums

3425 — I feel a bit surprised myself that such a grandiose power metal band managed to make it to the top of my list, beating out some of my favorite extreme metal releases, but this record deserves its place. Hansi Kursch proves that he is still one of, if not, the best singer in all of metal, not to mention the solos that become air guitar worthy after one listen. Each song is superb in its composition, atmosphere, quality, and its order on the album. A more straightforward metal record than NIghtfall In MIddle Earth, yet much more focused than A Night At The Opera, I feel completely confident in calling this not only Blind Guardian's best album, but the best album of 2006 as well.

Sure, some of the lyrics/keyboard solos/ decade-long guitar solos, and insane tempos may seem a bit forced, but the fact that something THIS fast, THIS over the top, THIS melodic, THIS energetic, THIS fun, and THIS METAL can get on the same label as mainstream acts such as Slipknot and Nickleback, is a good sign anyway you look at it.

Decapitated - Organic Hallucinosis — A bit of a departure from the extremely technial albums they have had in the past. This one is more mechanical, more focused, and puts a greater emphasis on songwriting, making it one of the best death metal releases from this year. New singer Covan may not have pleased all, but he has proven himself a worthy frontman on this disc.

3456 — Out of all the death metal wonders that have been released this year, I feel this one is the most underrated. Brutality is spewing through every blastbeat, every growl and screech, and every thick riff the songs are made up of. Well timed breakdowns and vocal patterns makes all the fury stick in your head after the massacre is over. Excellent cover of Wicked World as well.

Deicide - The Stench of Redemption

Deicide - The Stench of Redemption — Scars of the Crucifix was Deicide's snap out of the rut they had been in since the first note of Once Upon The Cross, but this album has taken them straight to the ninth circle. Everything about the band is better (though the lyrics still seem very forced), making one wonder how much Jack Owen and Ralph Santolla had to do with the band's new fire.

Joke of the Year

Words / Final Thoughts

— How ironic that this amazing 12 month period for metal comes two decades after what many consider to be its best defining year, 1986. All I can say is that 2006 has given 1986 quite a run for its money. Everyone and their headless corpse knows what an outstanding year the world of death metal had. From Deicide's old-school lightnening speed and newfound melodicism, to Suffocation'smethodical experiment in how to fit a killer breakdown amidst a flury of punishing speeds and riffs, all the active heavyweights of the genre put out some of the best material of their respective careers, while showing that theirs is a genre that has much more life than its name implies. The fact that Decapitated, Necrophagist, Suffocation, and Skinless have all been able to draw crowds in my hometown, which is THE mecca for country music, is saying something about how the genre's fans are growing. Melodic metal also had a very strong showing this year.DragonForce's popularity with mainstream audiences is getting closer and closer to a breaking point, while their hyper-sonic power metal sound is holding its ground firmly. Gus G. has put his six string skills behind two very good efforts this year, in Dream Evil's United and an honorable mention of mine, Firewind's Allegiance. As for Blind Guardian... well lets just say that their next album will have quite an act to follow after this year's A Twist In The Myth. Melodic death metal bands Amon Amarth

Melodic death metal bands Amon Amarth and Into Eternity also put out some of the best material of their respective careers. Metal just seems to be gettting bigger, catchier louder, faster, more varied, and better as each year goes on. There are dozens of sub-genre's to pick from, so many giants and young guns releasing great material, which has led me to believe taht the golden age of metal is now. The 80's may have been it's defining decade, but there was not as much depth behind the music back then as their is now. Real metal in all it's forms is making a strong comeback indeed form the mid-late nineties. Being as young as I am, I can't really describe how lucky I feel to have the opportunity to be involved with a site like metalreviews. Not much more to say about this year other than it ruled!

Real metal in all it's forms is making a strong comeback fromm the mid-late nineties indeed. Being as young as I am, I can't really describe how lucky I feel to have the opportunity to be involved with a site like metalreviews. I hope to improve on a lot of things next year to become a better listener and reviewer. The two releases next year I am looking forward to the most are Equilibrium's Sagas and Down's Down III, those two are going to slay for sure. Not much more to say about this year other than it ruled!

— How ironic that this amazing 12 month period for metal comes two decades after what many consider to be its best defining year, 1986. All I can say is that 2006 has given 1986 quite a run for its money. Everyone and their headless corpse knows what an outstanding year the world of death metal had. From Deicide's old-school lightnening speed and newfound melodicism, to Suffocation'smethodical experiment in how to fit a killer breakdown amidst a flury of punishing speeds and riffs, all the active heavyweights of the genre put out some of the best material of their respective careers, while showing that theirs is a genre that has much more life than its name implies. The fact that Decapitated, Necrophagist, Suffocation, and Skinless have all been able to draw crowds in my hometown, which is THE mecca for country music, is saying something about how the genre's fans are growing. Melodic metal also had a very strong showing this year.DragonForce's popularity with mainstream audiences is getting closer and closer to a breaking point, while their hyper-sonic power metal sound is holding its ground firmly. Gus G. has put his six string skills behind a very good honorable mention this year taht almost made my list, Firewind's Allegiance. As for Blind Guardian... well lets just say that their next album will have quite an act to follow after this year's A Twist In The Myth. Melodic death metal bands Amon Amarth and Into Eternity also put out some of the best material of their respective careers. Metal just seems to be gettting bigger, catchier louder, faster, more varied, and better as each year goes on.
