O-er Blind Guardian are playing in Bilbao in April.
That's about a 4 hour drive from where I live.

Road trip time en Espagna.

edit: woops, posted in the wrong thread. Meant for that last one to go in the "What are you listening to right now?" thread. So I'm replacing it with something more appropriate. Although that Mega Man X OCRemix is fitting, it probably seemed kind of odd to just randomly post it here.

I've been Blind Guardian fan for a really long time, and I love the new release. It's nice to see that these guys are still alive and well.

When I was younger the only bands that actually scared the living heck out of me were Mayhem and Bathory.

There is something incredibly compelling about the noisy din of Bathory, Mayhem and Darkthrone. Today I woke up in the mood for the dark stuff.

@ Fencers: you will love this then, it's the most insane and dark black metal CD I know.

I love Dark Tribe! "Iron Grave" is one of my favorites.

Guys, I am serious about this Xibalba record. This record is so goshdarn heavy.

The sound is massive! My husband is a drummer and he loves it too. Playing it so loud my dishes are clinking in the kitchen downstairs. This thing is massive, furious and heavy.

Sure it is somewhat cheesy but I kinda like Hoth. Listening to Oathbreaker and I didn't give this a fair enough shake. It's a lot of fun in all honesty. Maybe a little tiresome over the length of the album. But I wouldn't mind this playing in the background on a snowy day while playing lounging about reading.

New Elder song. FINALLY

Rather good.

I can't wait for the entire album. It finally sounds like Solefald may be as exciting as they were with the Linear Scaffold or Neonism.

**hellhamster** · 2015-02-02, 02:39 PM

Fuck yeah new Solefald.

Also, has someone listened to the new Skepticism? Rumor has it there's a bootleg of the new CD circulating the web.

That Blind Guardian album is pure gold!

And I'm getting in to Deadlock recently

I'm having a real hard time enjoying these new Ensiferum tracks. I can't stand the new guitar tuning at all - it sounds like a Norther / Equilibrium ripoff. :/

Only thing I've found regarding the new Skepticism album. Probably my most anticipated album this year:

Still no kind of easily available preview content or anything that's been leaked yet, sadly. I am a huge Nightwish fan and would have to say this is my most anticipated 2015 release so far.

It will be interesting to see how Nightwish sounds with Floor Jansen (although I loved both Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum and had no problems with Anette) and the other lineup changes.
