Finally got some time to check out your site. Good work. I still need to watch the Smedley interview, but I can't do that while proctoring an exam.

Great stuff Nem!!!

obscure · « **Reply #72 on:** May 01, 2012, 09:38:58 AM »

thank you guys.... I treasure your support.... seriously!!!!

and Mason.. finally hun.... was waiting for your participation... on the zine too hopefully ....

Hey guys...

As most of you know, I started this webzine just a little while ago... there has been amazing reaction both from the fans and from the bands... A lot of bands, agents, managers and publishers are contacting me now... every single day!!!

There is great traffic on the zine and and increase in the number of my followers on Twitter...

So zine is growing at an unbelievable speed... So much so I am in the process of moving the site to another hosting with better conditions.

And I'm sure you've noticed that yorost came on board to work with me... Speaking of which, I would like to thank him. I couldn't dream of finding someone who's that intelligent, talented and most importantly, nice to team up with. He is not only reviewing bands but also producing great ideas to improve the zine... he's also putting them in action... great fellow team player... I'm grateful!

This post is also about my need for other collaborators. Having gained a really solid credibility because of the work I've done so far... the demand from the bands doesn't seem to slow down anytime soon...

OK, let's cut to the chase... I was wondering whether you'd like to write for my zine... You can either review the albums you choose and dig already... or give me a hand in reviewing the bands that approach me...

If you have taken a look at my site, there is a section called 'Song of the Day' (SOTD ) where I and yorost have been sharing a chosen song daily with a few lines about the band and the song... So you can also send me a SOTD, which would save me some time for the reviews and the interviews scheduled ...

Work in progress:
At the moment I am in touch with Arjen Lucassen, Jonny from Eumeria and Jerry Wayne... reviewing their albums and putting together some interview questions... yorost is working on Unexpect, again in communication with the band...

Others that approached me:

Single Bullet Theory, Voice box - At the Speed of Ten Machines; ANTA - The Tree That Bears the Equine Fruit; Villebrad - Ampersand; Surgeon; Dischordia; and Northern Oak (there is another band from the UK whose name I can't recall at the moment). Yoso is one my list too....

If you're keen to write about any of these bands, I will send you the download codes and the info links with which I was provided by the bands...

I wouldn’t ask anyone to come on board; as I’ve gained this reputation for keeping to high standards - namely, good grammar, structure and content. … and I know for a fact that there are great writers on this board…

Yeah... that's about it...

Let me know guys...

This is promising to be a lively act... Any kind of contribution (to be credited of course) will be more than welcome...

I'll give you a SOTD and writeup anytime you want. Have one in mind right now. Will send on the weekend when I'm back home.

Ill see if I can muster up something for you,and I promise it wont be a long winded three page fanboyish wankfest like my IQ review for your roulette was.

obscure · « **Reply #78 on:** May 03, 2012, 11:54:18 AM »

it took me ages to read that one

and it was definitely fanboyish.. which makes it so perfect

Just have a disclaimer saying that its the thought process of a fucked up mind when listening to IQ.

Nekov · « **Reply #82 on:** May 03, 2012, 01:32:18 PM »

I'll be doing a top 50 soon and have one or 2 Ayreon albums in it. If I get particularly inspired when writing a review for any of those albums I'll send it your way. You already have a good precedent with my Haken one

obscure · « **Reply #83 on:** May 03, 2012, 02:16:15 PM »

would love that!!!!! your Haken one was legendary!

I KID!!! There is nothing better then pouring your heart out explaining why an album or song means so much to an individual.

Hey Obscure finally had a look through your site, and it's mighty impressive. Still have to check your interviews, but I've added your site as one of my favourites.

Oh, and that pic of you and Vinnie Moore is incredible.

obscure · « **Reply #91 on:** May 04, 2012, 05:16:10 AM »

No worries, it's great you are making quite a name for yourself and sharing it with us. I'll definitely be keeping up with what you get up to.

That weird moment when obscure's avatar pops up on your facebooks new feed, because Eumeria got your review.
Pretty awesome and yeah, the album is really good, but 10/10? that's flattering

obscure · « **Reply #95 on:** May 07, 2012, 08:16:16 AM »

Holy shit that's awesome....

and yes so weird

today Jonny sent me an e-mail.... thanking me and saying amazing things about the review...

(I'll put it one the feedback menu when he approves)
also Bobby sent me a message on FB... aww... great guys

I think it's an impeccable album... I do... hence 10/10

jingle.boy · « **Reply #96 on:** May 15, 2012, 05:39:39 PM »

Nice review of Lost in the New Real. I can't believe I haven't picked it up yet! Got to get me the album. Although, there are so many good albums coming up in the next month or so, I think I'll just wait and get one bulk purchase.

obscure · « **Reply #97 on:** May 15, 2012, 10:24:26 PM »

Thanks Chad..... he's a genius.... it's so coming through.. do you think my respect and love for the man can stop increasing one day? can't see that happening

Silver Tears · « **Reply #98 on:** May 16, 2012, 06:40:36 AM »

Ooh very nice review! I love that man so much

I've only listened to about half of the new album once though, cos I saw myself getting majorly distracted, so I'm trying to wait til after exams to listen properly.

obscure · « **Reply #99 on:** May 16, 2012, 06:50:06 AM »

oh I hear ya hun! that's me last year... couldn't check out any new album for months.. .. gigs only...

hey wishing you the best with the exams...

and thank you my lovely creepy princess

{{{does not like the new layout/format.

Can't view most of the page from behind my firewalls at work.
The dark writing on the dark back ground makes it almost impossible to see.
