Yeah, it's really heavy. Testament-lite.

Wow.  I know nothing from Dee or Twisted Sister but might have to check this out.

Bugger. I should have sent something from the Widowmaker album in your roulette. Blood and Bullets is th3 best album with Dee on it. I’m not much of a TS fan.

Jesus, I see it features Pitrelli also, yeah good chance that would have gone down well.  I'll add it to the list mate, thanks.  Name sounds familiar, maybe Brent's played it before.

Current wolfking roulette listening;  Arida Vortex - The Illustrated Man.  Only halfway through but this is really quite good.  Don't know what the fuck it's about though.

Hade a listen to Andy James - Exodus too.  He's a great shredder, but really pretty one dimensional in his style.  Some really nice tunes on this, but most are quite samey and feel almost improvised.  Nice sound and great shred though, top player.

Yup - was in one of the "Hard Rock/Metal Rarities" podcasts .   Not sure I covered every letter in the alphabet but W was done at some point.

To follow up on the memorabilia post I made, my stuff is all up and done. But my wife's portion of our den (where all of this stuff is) is yet to be done. And since she has the same love of hard rock and metal we all do, she's accumulated some killer stuff over the years. So I am re-doing all of her stuff as well, and will post some pics of it all once it is completed. She's got some signed Megadeth stuff, a killer signed Pushead Empire patch and LP single from Queensryche, and some other really cool goodies. For those that dig Firewind, she took this killer shot of Gus during Firewind's last tour with their classic era singer, Apollo.

Anyway, I'm re-doing the entire den, so once done, I'll post a couple of pics.

Some more roulette listening in the form of Leather Heart - Comeback.  This is a really enjoyable album.  Liking it a lot.

Was very annoyed when someone used that. Hurt to cross it off my list.

[wolfking]

Isn't as heavy as I thought it would be after first impressions with The Crow but that's not a negative at all.  Excellent from start to finish and the Danger Zone cover is awesome.

[Big Hath]

  Great album!

[wolfking]

Had a listen to Firepower again this week in the car and I initially thought Rising and Surrender were the best tracks but I now agree with Tim.  Listening again, Traitors Gate is by far the best song on the album.

That song rocks, man.  I actually listened to Firepower a couple of weeks ago, and holy shit, this album stands up. I still feel the same way about that chorus.


Out Of The Dark
Into The Light

That whole part is 

It's easily a Top 5 album of the year for me, maybe Top 3. This is an impressive album. So heavy.

[jjrock88]

It's album of the year for me at this point.  I'll see how the new Primal Fear and Fifth Angel sound, but it will be pretty tough to take the top ranking away from it.

I think its easily the best Priest album since Painkiller and definitely top tier overall.  If thats the final album for the band, you can't get much better than that.

Yeah, I was surprised how fucking epic it is and confused why I didn't have that opinion on it initially.

It's holding up surprisngly well.  The 1-2 punch of Firepower and Lightning Strikes is one of the coolest starts to an album they have done.

[jingle.boy]

Guess I need another listen of it then.  I spun it a few times when it was released, and liked it plenty, but haven't gone back to it.  Time to drop the needle... click the Spotify, actually.

Today is it hotter in Winnipeg or Australia? In Winnipeg it's 39 Celsius or 102.2 Fahrenheit

[jjrock88]

Hopefully we can beat somewhere in Australia at least once a year lol

Currenltly winter over here bro, so you got us covered today.  39 degrees sucks though doesn't matter where you are.  The world is getting hotter every year and it's getting pretty concerning truthfully.

[jjrock88]

That's very true and it is concerning. Unfortunately when you have to deal with minus 40 Celsius in the winter, you are hard pressed to complain about heat lol

Has anyone heard the new Primal Fear in its entirety?

I've ordered it, but it won't get here for a few more days. The reviews sound very good

With a public holiday today, I'm going on a hunt this afternoon to see if I can find a copy instore.  The songs so far have been okay but I'm hoping there is more quality within the album.  Surely Brent has checked it out?

[jjrock88]

Brent has already checked out the next Primal Fear album after Apocalypse

[Lowdz]

 

Not heard it yet but I’m on leave and have decorating to do so it will get an airing today.

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read.

I couldn't find a copy this afternoon.

Spun it this morning.  On par with the last two albums - excellent stuff top-to-bottom, but nothing entirely 'new' from PF.  I'll still buy it though.

Yeah, agree with this. Enjoyed it.

[Grappler]

The last Primal Fear album I bought was 16.6 and haven't kept up with them since.  So this new one seems pretty kickass to me.

Dude... if you're loving Apocalypse, you need to get Delivering the Black, and Rulebreaker right now.  They are both all kids of awesome.

Delivering the Black is just a perfect album. I love it so much.

[jjrock88]

I'm one listen in and its definitely on par with Rulebreaker.  It's kick ass and like the Chadster said, its excellent from top to bottom but nothing new from PF.  "Hail to the Fear" stood out to me upon first listen but I need to listen a few more times.

I was awaiting the third in the epic 'trilogy'... One Night In December --> We Walk Without Fear --> ??  Eye of the storm was close, but not close enough.
