Is your hair naturally curly? You look like a totally different person after the hair cut awhile ago, still digging the beard.

edit: Oh, nice sneak in with the Kpop.

yup the new killswitch blows. I didn't really like the album before this one either so they hit my 2 bad album rule = don't buy any more of their stuff.

Sad august burns red only got honorable mention.. they are fucking incredible and I thought this CD was as good/better than the previous 2

Yay a boes blog <3
I hate that I have a very limited knowledge of music, therefore not recognizing most of the names you put but I enjoyed reading your reviews regardless. I'll definitely be on a lookout for the artists you listed from now on.

5/5~

can I ask why you thought Crack the Skye was a disappointment, obviously you said you were disappointed not that you thought it was bad but are you a fan of Mastodon? Do you not like the more prog direction they are taking? Did you think the story/lyrics were weak?

I don't really expose myself to metal at all but I make an exception for Mastodon so I'm curious about someone who is a little more versed's opinion

only 2009 albums I heard are
Stratovarius - Polaris
Sonata Arctica - The Days of Grays
Epica - Design Your Universe
Fairyland - Score to a New Beginning

All are pretty good, I'd have to say that Polaris is my favorite, though

Well, I gotta say, I'm somewhat surprised with your list. It has tons of "trend metal"bands, mixed in with psyopus, who beyond being technically amazing, can't write a song to save their life.

I do enjoy the fact you put BTBAM up there, the only real good core band, and motW will always be amazing.

The hell? Megadeth and Converge are only honorable mentions?

I think "Axe to fall" was SICK and Endgame is quite the strong album too. And THANK YOU for saying that "Crack the skye" sucks ass, because it does. Holy shit what a lame album tbh.
I guess August burns red's new album was alright, but not as good as previous efforts imo. I love their sound though; there's something about faith and heavy music which makes it very intense.

Hmm, otherwise I guess your list is good. Not that I know 90% of the bands mentioned but w/e :D

Christian hardcore/metal-core is almost like a genre of if it's own. No Innocent Victim from San Diego comes to mind, I interviewed those guys in Sweden a long ass time ago.

Yeah Polaris is my favourite out of those albums too. It's actually a pretty good album, something I wasn't sure I expected after the Tolkki/Stratovarius- soap opera.

I was hugely disappointed with Sonata Arctica's new album. What kind of album title is that btw? They sometimes have awkwardly named songs, and the singer sings with even more finnish accent than Kotipelto :D Anyways, I used to like SA, but the last 2 albums have sucked for me.

no innocent victim are super awesome guys as well, i've had the pleasure of talking with them.


You did? Haha, that's cool man. I interviewed them after a gig in Sweden when they opened up for Biohazard I think it was. This was like 10 years ago :D They were very friendly and great guys.

Have they put out anything new in recent years? I remember the song "C.E.B" creating a kick ass moshpit.

the last thing they put out was To Burn Again when they signed with facedown records. the album rips super hardcore, as does pretty much anything on facedown haha.


Cool, thanks. I'll check it out!
