Welcome to the Dance of Death

Advantages: Lots of hits, great sound quality, one of the best bands ever
Disadvantages: Short playing time, not as good as "Rock In Rio"

I don't see myself as an insider of the rock- and metalszene in Europe, but nevertheless I recognize, of which topics metalfans are annoyed. This might be the 12th DVD single release by Manowar or black salsify-eating Black Metal bands throwing heads of dead sheeps into their audiences (me, I will going to bombard Mayhem with the skull of an elephant next time I see them on stage. Just for fun.). Or even a new live album by Iron Maiden. For a better ...
...The Road" is not really the very first live release from this favourite band of mine. Back catalogue already containing various live albums, for instance the legendary "Live After Death" from 1986, which is still considered to be the best Iron Maiden live album ever by lots of Maiden maniacs. Furthermore, there is the double album "A Real Live/Dead One" (I think it's from 1993), which was ony some comfort for the listeners due to leadsinger Bruce ...

Brave New World

Advantages: Bruce is Back!
Disadvantages: How can there be any. Bruce Dickinson has returned!

...2000. Iron Maiden returned with Brave New World and a new line. Gone was former Maiden frontman Blaze Bayley and Returning was the Heavy Metal legend that is Bruce Dickinson. After a number of solo projects bruce has returned to Iron Maiden and was also joined by former guitarist Adrian Smith turning the band into a six piece and bringing back the classic line up of the late 80's that brought us albums of the highest quality. Seventh Son of a Seventh ...
...the best on the album, Brave new world. This is classic Maiden. Othern highlights on this album are The Thin line between love and hate and the second single Out of the silent planet. This album is classic Maiden but doesn't feel dated and fits in amongst todays artists. If you own Seventh son and don't own brave new world. Then you should its maiden back to thier best. ...

In flames, might be best thing for it.

Advantages: Some accomplished bits.
Disadvantages: Screaming and samey drum beats.

In Flames - Come Clarity Yet another of my 14 year old (next months) son's offerings which he insists 'You must listen to this dad'. This is by no means my longest review as I am not going to 'fill' when I have not much to say. Wikipedia tell me that these are a Swedish melodic death metal band.....not a good start, however, being am open minded dad I thought I should give them a a go. Though I do fail to see how Death Metal can be melodic, ho, ...
...5. Scream 6. Come Clarity 7. Vacuum 8. Pacing Death's Trail 9. Crawl Through Knives 10. Versus Terminus 11. Our Infinite Struggle 12. Vanishing Light 13. Your Bedtime Story Is Scaring Everyone I am not going to review every track as I have to say they are all quite similar. They are fast, drum based songs with some pretty fast and accomplished guitar work, both lead and bass. The vocals go from screaming to well, screaming. The intro drum work on ...

Reroute to Remain, Fantastic...

Advantages: Mind-blowing, awesome album, no fillers
Disadvantages: Can't think of any...

...heavy-er rock, you will find Reroute to Remain a most worthwhile purchase. 1.: Reroute To Remain The title of the album is also the title of the first song. This song starts with an eerie electronic introduction, rapidly interrupted by the beat of the classic death metal rhythm guitar. More high-pitched melodic death metal style guitar plays over this intrductory shock until the croaky, gritty screaming breaks in, highlighted by the thundering beat ...
...unexpected high-pitched "chipmunk" sound voice which plays as a background for high-pitched screamy chorus. Following this is another screamy set of verses and chorus. Then a blisteringly fast, but shortlived solo with the high-pitched guitar. Not the best song on the album, but certainly not bad! 2.: System A huge SHOCK as this song starts, with rapid unbroken screaming, fast paced and unrelentless. Only to break to a rapid beat on the guitar, ...

...Powerslave 14. Hallowed Be Thy Name 15. Iron Maiden (Live) What I Like About This Album The Most And The Tracks I Think Are The Best: The detail i like most about this album is mainly the fact that it is a 15 track bundle of the best songs from each of Iron Maiden's previous albums which gives the listener the very best value. Also i love the fact that Eddie (Iron Maiden's comic book style mascot) is on every page of this albums inside booklet ...
