Thanks for the news; really looking forward to the new album.

I was looking at the page (www.virgin-2000.de) , and received a warning that it may host malware, so be careful about it… Does anyone know what these are? There is a listing for a CD called "Absolutely Live 1981", and reissues of the first 4 Stormwitch albums with different bonus tracks (1...

This is a great 2DVD set. Manilla Road doing "Masque of the Red Death by the Hammer of the Witches Brew" is not only a great running order for song titles but also an amazing performance. Titan Force, Battle Ram, Attacker, Omen, Demon Eyes, etc. - high quality as always. Does anyone have a...

The Angel and the Gambler always gets my vote for crap song of the day. I can't believe my favorite band of all time could create one of the worst metal songs of all time. Are you sure?

It's my world...

I'm another one who thinks that "From the 13th Sun" is my favourite Candlemass album. I think I'd rank them: From the 13th Sun Epicus Doomicus Metallicus Nightfall Tales of Creation Dactylis Glomerata Ancient Dreams Chapter VI s/t I might change those around a little on a whim - I really d...
