i never listen to radio at all but i get your point. it takes balls to do that now with the surge of conservatism practice

Yeah I also never listen to radio coz most of the bands that I like are never on the radio ever. Anyway I got enough collection and the new stuff keep coming, so never had the need to listen to radio at all.

Ah yes, symphony X... dream theatre too  smile.gif

Yeap of course DT as well, they're legends of prog metal. But now there are so many great prog metal bands out there: Circus Maximus, Vanden Plas, Evergrey, Kamelot, Myrath, Seventh Wonder, etc2...I could go on and on and on with the list. laugh.gif

Kemelot has moved to prog metal?  ohmy.gif

They were more of symphony metal band previously  unsure.gif

Well not full blown prog like DT of course but they do have some prog elements. They actually combine symphonic, prog, and power metal style in their music. Kodn of like what Symphony X is doing as well (but SX is just without female vocals). The singer now also is in Seventh Wonder which is a more prog metal band.

1. Vanden Plas, Chronicles of The immortals - Netherworld pt.2
2. Kamelot, Haven

Hmm not just power metal, got mix of prog & symphonic elements too. I'm actually more into those 2 elements than just pure power metal, but all must be very melodic.

Well economy not so good and SGD has become more expensive. Some more this is on Monday. If they come to Indonesia, I'm quite sure they can sell more tickets coz there are more metal fans there and there are already so many bands successfully performing there like Maiden, Helloween, Dream Theater, Metallica, Stryper, Yngwie just to name a few, all able to sell in arenas >5k capacity.

Anyway I wonder what time we need to queue already ya? The door will open at 7pm.

currently, im listening heavily to devin townsend project....
i just realised that there is another METAL thread in KOPITIAM , no wonder our metal thread so quiet...hahahah....

For me, as you may have noticed I'm a big fan of Nightwish so I just have to go and spend (I predict will spend a few k in total as I'm bringing my family jalan2 there for a few days). I will be watching the concert with my older son, and it's going to be his first time going to any concert so it would be awesome. biggrin.gif

Oh got another metal tread? Hahaha...let me check it out.

I will be there around 5+... maybe can avoid abit of entrace crowd  smile.gif

Ya, I think I'm going to arrive around that time too.
I'm also a big fan of the band so I immediately booked once I knew about it! Unfortunately already late to get the VIP ticket or else I'd bought that instead.
This is going to be my 4th metal/hard rock concert (I've watched Maiden, Queensryche, and Van Halen all in the early 90s).

All those I watched when in college in the US.
Maiden was during the "Fear of The Dark" album tour
Queensryche during the Operation Mindcrime and Empire tour
Van Halen during the "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" tour.

Great times that was! laugh.gif

Should have watched more than that but missed due to either wrong timing or sold out tickets. The one I really regretted coz ticket sold out was Ozzy "No More Tears" tour.

Bought newest Dream Theater album - The Astonishing. This is very "difficult" album to comprehend. It's very challenging, demanding and a departure of the old Dream Theater that we so used to.

Not going to say it is a bad album,  This saviour, who's fall in love with a dictator's princess cliche' set in a sci-fi world is not really my cup of tea.

I do love concept album though, but I just thought with all the budget and orchestration behind the album it could've been a lot better with much more serious and realistic theme or backstory behind it.

Mike Portnoy might be a control freak, but years after his departure I I realize that both him and Petrucci just neutralize each other. From straying too far.

As for The Astonishing, I think Petrucci had too much control regarding the output and songwriting process. This album is more like John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess side-project featuring a vocalist, bassist and drummer.
*
The new DT album is also very long, about 2 hrs to complete listening. It is a complicated album.
Portnoy's departure seems to make DT albums just a tad less heavy but more complex.

Hello everyone
What's your top 10 metal album for 2016 ?
*
This year has not been as fantastic as last year for me but still there were quite a number of excellent & solid releases. My top 10:
1) Evergrey - The Storm Within,
2) DGM - The Passage,
3) Myrath - Legacy,
4) Sunburst - Fragments of Creation,
5) Serenity - Codex Atlanticus.
6) Lords of Black - II,
7) Theocracy - Ghost Ship,
8) Primal Fear - Rule Breaker,
9) Withem - The Unforgiving Road
10) Circus Maximus - Havoc.

Best findings for me would be Psycrence, Waken Eyes, Teramaze, Sunburst & Black Faith, Lords of Black, Withem.

Best live show video would be Nightwish - Vehicle Of Spirit followed by Judas Priest - Battle Cry Live in Wacken

Highlight of the year would be taking my older son to his first metal concert to watch Nightwish live in Singapore! rclxm9.gif
