Excellent news, hope it's even better than the first one!

Does our little UK still count as one of the big 5? Now seems wrong on so many levels.....

Where do I start with this? How about the fact that I was almost certainly the only person in The O2 wearing a Nightwish T-shirt.... Well they just blew me away! Without doubt one of the best gigs I've ever been to. For the performance, the energy, the stage show, the screen, the massive pacman/globe thing, the choir, the band, thesongs. And the crowd! It was just such a fantastic feelgood party. Just frickin awesome

So Empath now pushes Epicloud out, but where does The Spell fit it?........

Oh dear, another thread tempting me to try another "new" band....

This

I'd say the guitar part is heavily influenced by Black Sabbath, and the flute part makes me think of early King Crimson...

Bruce Dickinson's autobiography, it's very good as you would expect. Next up is probably the final book in the Girl With The Dragon Tatoo series, the first two were terrific!

Just done it, and it seems to be in the lead!! Is this for real?...............

On the new Take That album? Interesting....

With any luck, she's replacing Rick Astley as support at the forthcoming British Take That shows! (Don't tell my wife I said that though)

I really can't fault the album. I'm guessing the clean female vocals are not to everyone's liking, but her voice is gorgeous, and I really love songs like Ambiramus, which really wouldn't be totally out of place in the ESC! And I have to say it: the "spoken" female vocal parts (I'm not sure which member of the band it is) are as sexy as hell... Love the extra acoustic versions too

Really loving the new Eluveitie, but it's not as good as The Spell, which is just amazing!

Really enjoying the new album, probably one of their best. The sound is great. They don't seem to be missing the CD guys, which is also good news. If they all still get on well, how about a co-headlining tour?

So far this year, new music from: Cellar Darling Devin Townsend Avantasia Eluveitie Mostly Autumn Within Temptation Dream Theater The top 2 are both absolutely amazing; the middle 3 are also extremely good; the bottom 2 are.......not hitting the spot yet/can't compete/might just be a bit bland?........
