Does anyone else think this song should have been the theme for the Bond movie instead of Adele?

Great tune!

Are you a Helloween fan, HoSo?

not a huge Power Metal guy but i do like me some helloween (and a few other bands like blind guardian, stratovarius, etc). specifically i've heard (and liked) Keeper of the Seven Keys, Helloween (2021), and Gambling With The Devil. don't think i've heard any of their other albums

Nice. Those are three great albums for sure!

Well, if you liked Keeper Pt. 1, then Keeper Pt. 2 would be the obvious place to go next with Kiske on vocals..

As far as the Deris albums go, Gambling is excellent. They did a Keeper Pt. 3 with Deris as their singer, and I know how cringy that sounds, but the album is incredible.

Yeah, the label was like...who?! LOL. Oh well, as long as we get a record.

That tour was a concert highlight for the ages.

Knew I heard that label before. They are releasing Kerry King's album. Looks like it was formed by the longtime GM of Nuclear Blast America. They appear to be building another Metal label. Already a decent starting stable of artists on their website.

Certainly a bit rougher, and more influenced by speed metal, but I'd recommend their debut Walls of Jericho (+ the EP, as they are always bound together as one now). Kai Hansen on vocals, it's good stuff.

I'd second the Keeper II rec, of course. As for the Deris era, I find The Time of the Oath particularly tasty.

You think that a movie that was released in 2012 should have used a song that didn't exist until nearly a decade later?

Without even counting the fact that a sci-fi song about an alien crashing on Earth is as removed from James Bond as it can possibly be.

they can retroactively update the script to be more MIB than 007

Saw this article online tonight that Malcolm Dome wrote for Metal Hammer.

I mean, it doesn't really say anything.

Dani Loble posted some studio footage along with Kai and Dennis Ward.

Can't hear any new music, but it's good to have validation that something is going on.
