Bump because of THIS
Man I am SOOO happy, this is the new Mago de Oz release - and they are one of my favorite bands ever. However, despite the popularity this heavy/folk metal band has in their home country Spain, they aren't very famous outside of there. I've literally been sitting day out and day in lately in an attempt to find this online, to buy or to download, and then I find it at Piratebay (irony at it's best). AWESOME!!!
Downloading it now, I already heard the intro and it was enough to make me cry. I love this band so much!
Holy shit Terra..... I love it, amazing. Listening to it right now. God damn, absolutely incredible. This is the first time EVER that I didn't just skip from song to song to get an idea of what it sounded like first. I have listened to every song so far, in their entirety.
Very glad to hear that Sensei Jon! Myself, I've listened to the album nonstop since I got it... and that is a lot [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
But not enough!
Best album of the year, no question.

No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you when he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."

Hmm, i might give it a listen, i didn't like Mezmerize very much. They had some good passages here and there but blew it with insane tempo changes all the time.
Some recommendations?
Right now Get Mago De Oz new album(Terra has been advertizing this for a while now). You should also try Loudness and X Japan, both heavy metal bands from Japan. Try out Airged L'amh, it's Heavy Metal with folk metal influenses. There is also Rammstiens newest, which i enjoyed very much. Older fans didn't like it that much but i loved some songs on there. Since i'm recommending i feel that it is my duty to recommend Iron Maiden even though you probably already know them. Get Brave New World and Dance Of Death.
Downloading Hypnotize now. I've listened to nothing but Gaia 2 for 5 days. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] I have this feeling that I won't listen much to Hypnotize before switching back, either ^^
Listening tooooo Carcass - Edge of Darkness and Alice in Chains - Head Creeps
Btw... Krisiun are on tour.. God I hope they come here.

Hypnotize wasn't very good. I guess I'll never understand why people like SoaD...
Krisiun isn't among my favorite bands, but they are pretty decent.
Song of the moment: Hammerfall - Glory to the Brave
"Nothing on earth stays forever
but none of your deeds were in vain."
Fucking beautiful.
Also, I've located a torrent for the new Mago de Oz live album. Some of you seem to share my love for the band so this might be interesting. It's rather big, 150 megs, but great quality and 2 CDs. A great live band they are. Hilariously, they also have a live cover of the aforementioned Hammerfall song on there. Destiny or what? It's called El Peso del Alma there though, as they even went and translated the lyrics to spanish.
Mago de Oz - Madrid Las Ventas
Terra to the rescue once again. I'm in metal wonderland! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

You should try finding their old albums too, Gaia and Finisterra in particular. I don't have any torrents for those though...
I was wondering. has anyone listened to Roadrunner United, the all star sessions?
it's a cooperation from 42 bands under the label Roadrunner. A few names are Opeth, Fear Factory, Trivium, Sepultura, Misfits, Killswitch Engage, Cradle of Filth and Ill Nino.
There are a few good songs on the album IMO.
Erotic is using a feather. Kinky is using the whole chicken.
I heard about the United Sessions, I almost got it but I dunno. But I do like posting over at their forums, Blabbermouth.net, great fun.
I'm downloading the new In Flames, Come Clarity now, we'll see how it goes.
The song for you kiddies for the day is Entombed - Chief Rebel Angel and I for an Eye
Terra, and anyone else.. did you ever check out Babylon Whores?
Oh and the new Exodus, Shovel Headed Kill Machine, is a sick ass album.

Thanks for reminding me Azazel, I was meaning to check out Babylon Whores but I forgot. Downloading some stuff now.
New In Flames out already eh? I don't know if I dare to download it :S
But then again, it can't get worse than STYE so what the hell.
Edit: Just noticed that Babylon Whores has Taneli Jarva (ex-Sentenced) on backing vocals [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] awesome! Can't wait for the downloads to finish...
Edit2: New In Flames = hilariously bad album. Perhaps even worse than Soundtrack. Avoid this shit.
Babylon Whores = sounds pretty nice so far. Gonna let them sink in. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
yea only a few good songs on there.Originally posted by: Shinda

Awesome band time: Katatonia
They have played for a long time, a swedish band which started out as a death metal band but later evolved into some kind of depressive heavy metal. A good comparison would be Sentenced. Very nice band, great lyrics too, but don't listen to them unless you like gloomy stuff. Their albums really makes me depressed (in a good way). The best ones would be "Last Fair Deal Gone Down", "Discouraged Ones" & "Viva Emptiness".
Teargas is an awesome song, but the vocals tend to wear me down a bit, they get monotonous after a while.
I didn't care much for Viva EMptiness, moreso Soul's Highway and Last Fair Deal Gone Down
They played some damn fine death metal back in the day too.

Teargas is beautiful. And yes, their death metal stuff ain't bad. For some reason I was reminded of old In Flames when I heard "Dance of December Souls" and decided to take "Lunar Strain" for a spin.
Awesome album it is.
Anyway, Katatonia didn't make Soul's Highway - Beseech did [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Lost Highway? RIght?
"They call it 'The American Dream' because you have to be asleep to believe it" - George Carlin
As far as I know, Katatonia has no song or album with the word "Highway" in it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Tonight's Decision!!! That's what I meant.
