Yes.

So I was listening to this album, and was enjoying it a lot more than I would expect of such blatant Stratovarius pastische in TYOOL 2019, but then the last two songs were an immensely saccharine ballad and an E-Type cover and now I want to die.

There was a time when I fed from golden chalices,
but now...

Now, I feed as
an old man pees.
After about 3 listens to the Frozen Land album, I just closed my eyes and dreamt of power glory like it was 1997. Fun album.

I think I'll just stick with my old Helloween and Gamma Ray favourites for all my late 90s europower needs, personally. Maybe give some old Edguy a spin, too.

This is good poo poo, thanks for posting these. I confess I am shamefully unfamiliar with USPM overall, eventhough it should be exactly my jam.

This movie looks pretty bad but I do like that Åkerlund seems to be emphasizing how young and middle class the second wave BM guys were when all that happened. It's a part of that whole story that tends to get buried by the mythology surrounding the Norwegian scene so I'll probably give it a shot if it comes to a theater nearby.

You need Devy for the heavy.

Strapping Young Lad began working on their next album, Alien, in March 2004. Feeling that the band's previous album did not live up to expectations, Townsend decided to take his music to a new extreme. To prepare for the new album, Townsend stopped taking the medication prescribed to treat his bipolar disorder.
