Freddy has a good idea. Check the entire Retroactive roster, most of it is pretty darn good.

I have Terium. Its a decent disc, I'm not a giant fan of the vocalist.

I really liked the first album, they had a definite Junkyard vibe to them, the new stuff sounds more AC/DCish. I'm looking forward to this one.

Lots of Faster Pussycat influence. I like it.

That was actually pretty impressive!

I haven't purchased any of them yet and was looking to snag the best one. I'm thinking High Noon.

Eonian looks like they are doing some pretty good releases/rereleases, which of the 4 they first released is the best?

There is a sample of new stuff that John is working on, sounds pretty good to me so far.

I think I heard that John Elphante was working on a solo disc, haven't heard any rumors about a new Mastedon disc.

Can't wait for this one!

Didn't this band have the former Rage of Angels' lead singer?

The remastering is even more apparent on S/T. WOOW didn't need it near as much as S/T.

Another kudos for Divine Metal Distro, I ordered Theocracy's new one and Menchen's Red Rock on Sunday and they got here today, CA to NC in 4 days, not bad.

So there has been a bunch more samples posted, what does everyone think?

Divine metal distro is relatively new but is already garnering a good rep, I've heard good things about them.

Samples sound great, I think old school Stryper fans will be pleased.

Theocracy is one incredible band. I would buy a Christmas album off of these guys in a heartbeat.

DECEMBER 19, 2008 - Stryper is pleased to announce that on December 21, 2008 at 11PM (EST), song samples from the upcoming album “Murder by Pride” along with a major contest will be launched!

The contest is a historic first for Stryper and will give one lucky fan the opportunity of a lifetime to become a part of Stryper history!

Visit MICHAELSWEET. COM or STRYPER. COM on December 21, 2008 at 11PM (EST) to access the contest details and song samples.

Mike Lee and BC have parted ways. Spiritual differences.

Apparently they are going to try and find a new vocalist.

This is now out, at least directly from the band. I haven't had much of a chance to listen to it yet, but early reviews that I've seen online aren't the best.

I ordered them both off of The End, they are currently listed as preorder, but I suspect they will come in stock pretty soon.

I think Jarred started a thread on this somewhere a few weeks ago but I didn't realise it was a Christian Metal album.

From the samples I heard it sounded great but don't remember the lyrics.

The lyrics aren't suer bold, but the spiritual slant is still there.

This is a really good disc. Probably up there with my favorite RR material of all time.

Official release date November 11.

Also Faith Factor's Against A Darkened Sky comes out that date.

how many cd's does Menchen put out under different names?!

Its rather ridiculous. I found the newest Titanic to be pretty good, and the Menchen- Red Rock disc sounds really good. His other stuff is pretty generic.

Classic heavy metal from the 80's. This disc was originally recorded in the 80's at the Elephante's Pachyderm studios. The tapes sat in a garage until they were recently unearthed and remastered.

Just got this disc today. Lyrically very bold, classic metal with excellent vocals.

Vocalist Ken Redding is appearing on the November release of Menchen- Red Rocks, an all star lineup consisting of Bill Menchen, Tony Franklin (The Firm, Whitesnake), and Robert Sweet.

Cool! I don't have either of those tracks.
