great contrast to how overwrought or saccharine the other guys tend to be lyrically, especially Petrucci. That and I think somebody who was on DT’e first three albums is just gonna have more reverence by default.

It's a stage name. Pretty sure it's rock, like in rock. His last name is Allhage.

I personally think Kevin Moore’s approach to keyboards worked as a more subtle counterpoint to most of Dream Theater’s other musicians having a flashier attitude. He was also the group’s greatest lyricist whose more cynical, personal touch is another great contrast to how overwrought or saccharine the other guys tend to be lyrically, especially Petrucci. That and I think somebody who was on DT’e first three albums is just gonna have more reverence by default.

I don’t think Rudess is awful for the band and you can tell that they considered having him on to be a major win but with how he joins them in those flashier methods, it just threw the last bit of subtlety they had right out the window.

Moore and Myung are (or were) the best lyricists. Portnoy and Petrucci are too damn cheesy in that department.
A five songs suite about rehabilitation? A 20 minutes epic about a weird-looking tuscan? Please.

Songs about getting old?

The day I finally stopped trying to get into Dream Theater and just accepted that they weren't for me was the day they released a 16 minute song about a minor car crash that didn't kill anybody.

Is that a real song they released?

BY THE GRACE OF GOD ABOVE
EVERYONE SURVIVED
ROOOOAAARRRRR

Yeah, it's 'A Nightmare to Remember'. Petrucci did the lyrics for it.

Recently got into the black metal band Abigor, and while Verwustung's MA page here (their 1st studio album) has 9 tracks listed, the album on Spotify has 17 tracks (the extra tracks are a Disc 2). Is this another version of the album, like a special edition?

Does anyone know anything on Anathema status? What's up with those guys?

Disbanded/on hiatus due to personal issues between the members.

Can you tell me what you mean by hymn to get a more clear idea?

Anyone heard anything about Vintersorg lately? The latest album was released in 2017, it would be cool if he drops a new one in 2024...

“We are very inspired about this new step in the Vintersorg story, where we have started a new partnership with Hammerheart Records. We are looking forward to this and are preparing the fourth album of the Element cycle, the “Water-album” as our first mantel piece in the Hammerheart Record’s vast musical gallery, epic times ahead.”

“The Dimbild project took form 2022 when Vintersorg came to the conclusion to do something serious of fragments and ideas that he had gather for many years. Theese were of an semi-accoustic flavour and rooted in the Scandinavian folk music traditions, but also with an bombastic approach at times. In 2022 songs were compiled and also written. The Vintersorg trademark vocals are written all over this musical art.

It’s has been a nice journey to make the Dimbild songs come to life. I feel that I’ve found the best suitable home for this at Hammerheart Records. The songs are something that I feel is a new fresh breeze in the folk genre and also in my own way of writing music.”

Can any Falkenbach fan tell me their favourite album? I want to listen to it but I don't know which one to choose.

Metallica's MA page is completely unusable due to zillion live albums listed. I know all of those are official releases via Metallica Fan club or something, but jeeez, is it really necessary to list them all?!

It really does seem a bit excessive
