Finally, just ordered the vinyl! Blind purchase due to the current trend (announcing releases with minuscule vinyl tirage eons before the actual date of release)! Hopefully a strong candidate on par with Dream Theater for my 2nd favorite release of the year.

Any link of this?

Hope it will be my 2nd fave release of the year.

Roxus, the only way! I cannot stop missing the man, the myth, the vox!

So long, mighty Pumpkings, it was great while it lasted! 

Cannot stop missing the mighty throater! Glad I was able to witness his greatness before the pandemic!  (Only drawback was the shortage of quality booze during the 4th or 5th track of the setlist)

Outside Spotify's HQ cranking the new one while making love to my speakers

#priapism

The legends are back! Although kinda away from the classic heavy metal of the legendary debut. And with a crappy cover artwork! But  I'm liking what I'm hearing! And I love the vocals!

Japanese version will come with 2 bonus tracks!

What a monster is that bonus track! Relic of an era when Japanese bonuses used to rule the airwaves! 

Just ordered Keel's Streets... on mighty vinyl! This when?

Still I regret not bringing with me that vinyl in order to get it signed from the man, while he was fronting Bonfire. 

Finally another dream came true!

And another!

silly comments about side 2 really.

been though this about 10 times now and the get better with each spin (even Babylon), and Coming Home and One Final Kiss are superb 

Babylon should be cancelled from songs' title since Yngwie's cover + track on Fire & Ice 

Thinking to ask frontiers If I could pay half price for the vinyl, because I will only spin side A.

Solo, Yngwie and vaccine in the colon... and bonus the cowboyo's wailing... foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

Instead of his opponents accepting this, they have done nothing but hinder, criticize, and undermine him from day one. Hell, even before his inauguration he was getting hammered. 

 

 

 

 

Snowflake post alert!

Punishment: Spin it 3 times every 2 hours 

Can't stand the vocals, but man, what a band they used to be in their demo days and first 3 releases...

Well, I clicked on the news, and to be honest was expecting a lot more.
I guess it was pretty significant, because they took over whatever building it is.
But the BLM rioting seemed far far worse.

I find it fascinating that there are completely different takes on the aggression of the two events, for a few minutes, then I go back to my life.

When I was watching the news, some reporter in the US was being interviewed and she said in passing during that, that "America has the greatest democracy in the world"
Got me wondering as to why the US is considered by so many thins way.
is it just Americans who think this?
What are the reasons that a thought like that is based on?
Genuine question, not trying to start shit...

 Without getting too technical , you mean that you are not moved by  Lincoln's Gettysburg Address (... that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth...)  

or Declaration of Independence ( We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...)?

This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. 70 MILLION people voted for this guy!

We're gonna see this shit all over the country. A lot of misinformation from both sides. Nobody's gonna what to believe. Bigger Empires than the US have come and gone.

Are we witnessing the fall of Rome?

 

 

 

 

Do you like Iced Earth?

C'mon Kouros, you must know that this story is from Bush/Gore 2000 and highly dubious at that.

 What part of "can't stop Laughing Out Loud", didn't understand, brotha?   Obvious it's trolling ( and, btw, this was exactly the same wwording US used when they deployed their army in ex Yugoslavia 

Man, shit is getting serious (can't stop lol)...

BELGRADE–Serbian president Vojislav Kostunica deployed more than 30,000 peacekeeping troops to the U.S. Monday, pledging full support to the troubled North American nation as it struggles to establish democracy.

"We must do all we can to support free elections in America and allow democracy to gain a foothold there," Kostunica said. "The U.S. is a major player in the Western Hemisphere and its continued stability is vital to Serbian interests in that region."

Time for my favorite Manowar lp!

Didn't want to throw this out there but I'm in my third week in the hospital battling covid.

I am starting to feel better but it hasn't been easy.

Hang on, buddy and get well soon!

I didn't listen to a lot of new releases (not that I care that much to be honest, lol). And many of them didn't make me to want to spin them for a 2nd time (some of them mentioned in previous replies ). Armored Saint is missing from the photo because it's still in transit!

I can't remember a recent year (since the early days of Lion Music, lol) when I had 2 instrumentals in my top list. 

Those were the  last cds I ever bought,  I won't get cds in  the future, Solitary Sabred (how cool is when your family doctor/buddy/mate/dude/younger brother  is the lead singer in one of your favorite releases), Christian Muenzner (Your  Wing Commander from  a business trip to Valhalla is back with its shreddy, fusionist, melodic, rifftastic -with a plethora of mighty  progressions and arrangements neoclassical flawless metal.  Special note on  the  worshipping of  mighty axemen like Moore/McAlpine/Tafolla from the legendary Shrapnel Recs era) and the mighty Lovebites (I'm already spamming their UK label to release that cd on vinyl, thus far they only released a vinyl EP from the new record). 

Of course, official  vinyl releases of previously only cd releases (or crappy picture discs!) or olde demo tapes were numerous this year. Some of them were like a dream comes true. BÖC's monster Heaven Forbid is still in transit. I won't be surprised if next year's budget is allocated to those kind of  releases.
