C3 - Triosphere / Heart of the Matter

Damn, that's a tight zoom on that one.

Several of the remaining ones are bugging the living shit out of me!

BTW, I made what I suspect is going to be a maddening grid once this one is done.  Not sure how difficult it'll be, but likely very frustrating (if that makes any sense).

C3 is bugging the shit out of me.  How is it not Nightwish or Savatage?!!?

A3 - Flaming Row / Elinoire.  :lolpalm

I knew what it was as soon as I saw that hint - didn't even have to re-look at the image.  I feel shame.

That A4 hint is killing me.  Accept, Blind Guardian, Helloween, Gamma Ray??  Can't seem to find an album from any of them that have this.

Yeah, that's got to be it.  Great album - I have it saved on Spotify, but they have one fucked up album cover associated to it!  Some french pop singer Dalida  :huh:  https://open.spotify.com/album/1WT9Yy3SnDWmAZGyMVEbS9?si=2kNrbYKmQHCqvMQKH8EPyQ

The bass player hint isn't helping... it's not Sinner, Winger, or LePond as best I can tell.  Trying to think of some other big-named bass players....

Witherfall
Frameshift
Graan

Da fuq?

Knowing it's an R/bass player/90s still doesn't help me.   :facepalm:

BTW, I'm going to be out most of the day, but have another one ready to go if no one else does.

I wasn't even thinking from a 'classic' band.

Ok, have a go at this one.  No such luck that these are all the same 100x100 snip - they're all various sizes.  Curious to see how fast this goes.
