Townsend is great. One of my favorite musicians of all time.
Just saw him live last Saturday. GREAT show. Got to meet him too. Such a nice guy.
More Devy and cos Dirk's an absolute monster.
Also, more Dirk fun in:
I did not expect this, but the new Between the Buried and Me dazzled me. It's exactly like Colors, but on a whole new more evolved level. So good.

New Voivod.
One of the best black metal vocalists, evah.
Was going to post full At The Heart of Winter, but it's not winter yet, damnit. But this should do - it's been a long time since I posted something from this album.
So Nightwish decides to get rid of their singer once again, what do you guys think about this? I never liked her, so I think this is only good news. I wouldnt mind if Marco became the lead singer, though. They dont really need female vocalist but im pretty sure they'll get new one. Hopefully shes better than the former was.
I don't know Floor Jansen at all but I am overall not a huge fan of female fronted smyphonic metal, save a few exceptions (WT). Inever had any problems with Anette but I probably would not mind just Marco doing the vocals.
Unrelated: Probably would belong more in the post-hardcore topic but this one has ample metalcore and post-metal elements in it.
I have to say I listened to a LOT of this band lately and I just can't get enough of it. I'd rate both "No Wings To Speak Of" and "The Satellite Years" with a straight 10/10 which is extremely rare from me but frankly not only these albums are extremely good they are so overflowing with emotions it is nearly unbearable and they are just perfect in any way in relations to what I look for in music.
I love both old and new Nightwish. I've been a Nightwish fan since Century Child, picked up their older stuff as well, and I also think Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum are great albums. Anette got a lot of hate that she didn't deserve. I admit her live voice needs a lot of work, but she's an excellent singer. She just didn't sound exactly like Tarja, and a lot of people gave her hate for that.
I remember at one point when Tarja was leaving NW, there were rumors that Vibeke Stene was going to be her replacement. Not going to happen obviously, but I always thought that would sound awesome.
Personally, I think they'd sound awesome with Marco alone on vocals. The man is a fucking boss. Although...I can't quote it directly, but I believe he said at some point he didn't want to do main vocals in any band other than Tarot. But I guess some songs like Phantom of the Opera would sound kinda awkward if he tried to do them solo...

Even if it's a ridiculous thought, I would like to have Tarja back in Nightwish.
