Thanks man .............I knew you had taste from your Top 50 , hence my shock entry
This is the first time I've been anything other than about last in a roulette - hence the "humble submission" line in my PM. Not humble any more though
You are right to associate it with the Serious Black track.............same vocalist and (I'm guessing) that track is likely a leftover from the Trail of Murder album. My rating? Let's say 99% and quite possibly my favourite metal album of the last decade. So it's no "one song wonder" you'll be glad to know.
Ballads............wow. I have dozens of ridiculously good ballads , so very hard to choose. Everything from 10 min epic (sappy) ballads to djenty, thrashy ballads with a classical interlude.
Seriously though - toughest round to pick here I reckon.
if Sava weren't on your list "When The Crowds Are Gone" would've been in contention.
Will get something to you tonight.
PS You stated that the Enbound guys don't joke around.
Here's a photo of them
