I know I've mentioned the Chaos Frame album a couple of weeks ago - I find myself going back to it quite often. Just was a real nice discovery from late last year. Very good prog/power metal. Memory Garden's 1349 is brilliant, imo. Epic, melodic doom metal, slightly proggy. Great songs and, as a bonus, it sounds fantastic (mixed by none other than Dan Swano).
The Missing Link...well, it's my favorite Rage album. Heavy, crunchy and melodic, it's Rage at its "trio" best. Manni Schmidt on guitar is absolutely on fire here. What a record.
