Like PAGAN's MIND, they sound *alot* like Dream Theater, but with hints of Vanden Plas - seeing as they are from Germany too.

Wow, I hate Pagans mind, and I hate Dream Theater, and I REALLY hate Vanden Plas. I think I'll NOT check these guys out.

You hate most things that aren't Nightwish.

That's almost true... but he likes Blind Guardian, Elvenking, Freternia, and other power metal bands.

As for me, I'm really interested in hearing the new Strato.

Yeah, I was pulling his leg.

[MetalWolf]

I'm waiting for the new Judas Priest and AC/DC stuff.

[Kai Stromler]

I'm stuck waiting for Exodus and Borknagar. The one track off Tolkki's solo record that I heard made me want to kill myself (and not in the good Sentenced way), so I think I'll be sitting out the new Strato.

Keen to hear how the new In Flames turns out, as Reroute... was kind of junky, but "Watch Them Feed" (off the Trigger EP) was kinda cool.

Rumors of new Suffocation = \m/.
Periodic updates on even more Cannibal Corpse = boring, even though Pat O'Brien continues to destroy. It's like with Deicide: nobody noticed how wasted Glen Benton was with his own material until he made a record with some people who know how to write music.

[Otohiko]

The new TU CD, and possibly KlusterTU whatever they come up with.

And, not least of all, the Adrian Belew/Les Claypool/Danny Carey disc.

[nailz]

I'm waiting for the new Judas Priest and AC/DC stuff.

DELICIOUS.
