Powermetal

Lang naar uitgekeken en uiteindelijk stonden we, jammergenoeg door omstandigheden maar met z'n 2'en, in het metalwalhalla van Nederland. Van de openers 'Astral Doors' hebben we alleen de laatste 2/3 nummers kunnen meepikken, naar mijn mening te weinig om ook maar iets boeiends over te kunnen schrijven. Wat ze speelde was opzicht niet verkeerd, maar het klonk voor mijn smaak allemaal net wat te rocky. Verder leken ze erg veel ideeën weg te halen bij bands als Dio en Deep Purple.

Na een veels te lange…

I know, it's been a long time since the last update. Going to update my collection again after the summervacation. First some festivals (Wacken!!!, Lowlands!!!). But first, let's see if I can get the counter to 20.000 tracks played today.

Just a quicky this time as I'm to busy playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion''…

Primal Fear - Devil's Ground

Yes, finally another update. After one week of partying, and one week of being ill from all the partying, I'm back again.

Holy Moses - Queen Of Siam (1986)
Forgotten Tales - All The Sinners (2004)
Gamma Ray - Sigh No More (1991)
Gamma Ray - Somewhere Out In Space (1997)

Orphaned Land - El Norra Alila (1996)
Primal Fear - Jaws Of Death (1999)

I mentioned it yesterday already. The mailorder was a bit late, and so it took them one day longer. But finally I got it, and I couldn't be happier:

The Gathering - Mandylion Rerelease (2005)

Ow, and a band shirt from Dropkick Murphy :)

As promised, well more to myself then anyone else, an update this week. I had hoped for one album more, but the postorder delivery was somewhat slow… :( Anyway the update for this week:

* Bloodthorn - In The Shadow Of Your Black Wings (1997)
* Bloodthorn - Onwards Into Battle (1999)
* Bloodthorn - Under The Reign Of Terror (2001)
* Celtic Frost - Into The Pandemonium (1987)
* Die Apokalyptischen Reiter - Samurai (2004)
* Stream Of Passion - Embrace The Storm (2005)

Well, sorry again. This week again no update. I've been a bit to busy with the preperations for the carnaval festivity here in town, and haven't had time to expand my collection. I promise (mostly myself) that there will be a update next week…
