Going to Hellfest + Graspop next year on my eurotrip
Line up looks awesome. Especially since 1/2 of these bands never tour Australia
Destroyerr 666, Urfaust, Solstafir, Tsjuder, Electric Wizard, Cynic, Nails, Enslaved, Carcass, fucking Emperor, Metal Church, WASP, and so many more. Such a good line up
Anyone else going?
Hopefully going to go to Hellfest again for sure, have to see if they still have tickets around the end of January. Hellfest this year was amazing, truly one of the best experiences of my life.

Anybody else have your favorite Metal songs based on Literature? It's cool to realize that so many Metal bands take inspiration from such.
I mean, To Tame a Land! Nightfall In Middle-Earth!

Beat me to it! Definitely one of the first that came to my mind, heh. I like the way Guardian in general uses the fantasy genre, especially Tolkien in general. Can't forget Iron Maiden in general!
Also, I do rather like Metallica's For Whom The Bells Toll, a lot.

the entire album is based around Edgar Allan Poe works, sung in spanish.
Really? Well, that's pretty cool. Edgar Allan Poe is an amazing poet, and his short stories, at least his best, are amazing as well. I'm going to have to check this one out right now.
As much as I like Dune, I still find it rather crappy that Frank Herbert almost sued Iron Maiden.

MegaDeth does this a bit too.
Well, they did. Now Dave sings about Jesus, Guns, and Freedom.

It seems like we have a pattern with Maiden and awesome literature reworkings! I'm listening to Flight of Icarus right now.
I wonder what my Victorian English Professor would have thought about it. He was not amused with Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights.
The first thing he would do would be to correct this, it's "would've" or "would have".

Whoops, my bad. I'm usually decent with contractions, but I'm fucking tired right now and that slipped my mind. No matter. I will remedy my grammar mistake.

Agalloch began recording their next LP today.
Damn, didn't know that. Big Agalloch fan. Can't wait!

I was basically saying DEP fans don't know music
But I'm actually a DEP fan. Well... at least Under The Running Board, Calculating Infinity, and Miss Machine. To be fair.. I haven't invested much time into any of their new cds. One and done spins. Losing Chris Pennie rubbed me the wrong way.

Sabbat - Dreamweaver, the entire album. Based on "The Way Of The Wyrd"
The fucking riffs, lyrics, and vocals man...

Huh, this sounds pretty damn cool. Just looked up the book, sounds like a hell of an album to look into.

It's a relentless masterpiece of a thrash album. Before Andy Sneap went on to do some retarded sound recording/engineering.

This will be first european festival. Probably the best lineup to pop my cherry on
Lets make a list of all of Maiden's cheesy pop culture (television, film, literature) songs...
I'll start with:

Man on Edge based on Falling Down starring Michael Douglas.

That's interesting but, not surprising. I'm guessing it's because Scar the Martyr is picking up some steam.
I haven't been a fan of their work since Iowa. I'm hoping the next album is more like the old stuff and less like the newer.

Another new Iced Earth: Among the Living Dead
Typical Iced Earth. Its not bad...but it doesn't seem as fun as Dystopia. I can't wait to hear the songs with the Volbeat and Blind Guardian singers as guests vocalists.

If you're not hitting your notes consistently (loud or soft strokes) and need triggers to compensate for that, I would say that it's affecting potential skill. A lot of triggered drums are also highly overused or mis-used which can lead to the lifeless typewriter syndrome, belch. Unless I'm wrong about drum triggers please correct me.
