Sonata Arctica - Paid In Full
2007-10-02 10:04:00 I like Sonat a Arctica 's "fast-forward" music, but look at that keyboard. I don't know but that hand-held keyboard looks a bit funny to me. Reminds me some 80's "fashion-bands" such as Duran Duran.. Hey, don't get me wrong. I enjoy Sonata Arctica and I rank them high. They are good. That red keyboard is just a bit funny to me.Paid In Full !

Stratovarius - I Walk To My Own Song
2007-10-01 09:05:00 Let's start this week with some good power metal. Strato varius lived their best times somewhere in late 1990's and early 2000. "I Walk To My Own Song " is from their album "Elements, Part II" (2003). It's good song, even though I prefer those early albums of Strato. I just wonder how they are doing today. I haven't heard much after their latest album "Stratovarius" (2005).

Anthrax - In My World
2007-09-27 09:46:00 Man, I've got a boring job..I should start writing one god damn spec but I've got no motivation. Aaarrggh!!Well, I gotta do that job, but first I need to find some motivation. From where? From Anthrax , yeah! Remember those days when metal dudes played Flying V on stage wearing tight black jeans, white socks and running shoes? Then they ran around the stage like grazy (Ian Scott) and performed some weird tricks (David Lee Roth)?Well, here's a pretty good video in which Anthrax plays In My World in Al Bundy's house. Heh.. "they are going to eat the mystery pack. Even dad would not eat the mystery pack. These guys are cool".. HAH HAH!As a teenager I used to listen to Anthrax every single day, but that's a long time ago. Look at those guys in Bundy's house, they look so young! Man, it makes me thinking that I'm an old fart already..The video stops too early so watch the full version here (I did not find the code for embedding the video here).
Apocalyptica - I'm Not Jesus
2007-09-27 09:30:00 Apocalyptica has released some new stuff. The new single "I'm Not Jesus " featuring Corey Taylor sounds good. Apocalyptica is now clearly stepping into bigger arenas. It is easier to reach bigger audience with vocals in their music.The beginning of the song reminds me Tom Waits (God's Away On Business), right? More About: Apocalyptica
Serj Tankian - Empty Walls
2007-09-26 17:01:00 Serj Tankian, the singer of System Of A Down, has released his solo album. It sounds very much like System Of A Down but no problem at all. I find it very good. Serj has such a fantastic voice and he knows how to use it. He actually reminds me of Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica). Don't know why..The video is just great. I enjoy!Heh.. Does he look like Borat?

2007-09-26 12:32:00 Have you heard about Il Divo (Carlos Marín, Urs Bühler, David Miller, Sébastien Izambard)? The famous pop-opera quartet, created by Simon Cowell. Now there is a new star rising, called Northern Kings . First they were supposed to be called Killdivo or Helldivo, but finally Northern Kings was selected as their name. The line-up is Marco Hietala (Nightwish, Tarot), Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica), J-P Leppäluoto (Charon) and Jarkko Ahola (Teräsbetoni). They play 80's classics, such as Tina Turner's We Don't Need Another Hero and Cuttin Crew's I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight. The first album is going to be released on October 24th. Tina Turner's cover has been played in Finnish radio and Northern Kings sounds very sinfonic, very good. Northern Kings is a fantastic idea and will definately be successful at least in Finland. I just wanna get that album in hands.. More About: Released , Album , Hern

Poisonblack - Rush
2007-09-25 22:43:00 Sentenced, one of the greatest metal bands, was buried some time ago. I never saw them live and therefore I felt a bit dissapointed. Soon after the funeral Poison black was born. It is a new project of Sentenced's singer Ville Laihiala. I'm a big fan of Sentenced and Poisonblack is not worse. It's actually very good. This is the first piece I heard from Poisonblack. It rocks!

Tarot - Wings Of Darkness
2007-09-24 10:30:00 See, Tarot is not a newborn band. They played rock&roll before many of the visitors of this blog weren't even born yet. Those were the days in 1980's.. Tarot was a big name on those days in Finland but they never made it through abroad. It's hard to be an early bird in metal music in northern countries. Today it is much different as the music industry and metal scene have developed very much. More About: Wings , Darkness
Tarot - Pyre Of Gods
2007-09-24 10:28:00 A couple of days ago I posted the new videos of Nightwish. In "While You're Lips Are Still Red" song the singer is Marco Hietala. Because Marco is a fantastic singer, I think it is good to promote his own band, Tarot . Next a couple of good pieces from Tarot. More About: Gods

Stratovarius - Kis Of Judas
More articles from this author:2007-09-23 19:53:00 I was skiing in France in 1999. We used to listen to Nightwish, Moonspell and Strato varius every single day when we got back form mountains. I had bought Strato's Destiny album few days before entering Chamonix and I was amazed with those fast sounds. This piece reminds me those fantastic days of powder skiing.. 1, 2, 3, 4 |
