Yes they are and the last 2 were quite good, the last is from Cellador Chris something can't remember last name.

Cellador is down to just the guitarist. I don't even know how that happened.

Amen-We Have Come for your Parents
Slave to the System-S/t

Thats all they need

Coupla flea market finds this morning for $2 each...

Sepultura - Chaos AD
Sepultura - Roots
Overkill - The Years of Decay

This page made me think to check out some Cellador stuff to see if it would be any good this time around.

Thoughts.

The singer left for White Wizzard? Uhh, ok. Why? Totally different style. You know what, I don't care if something is original, unique, short, long, whatever it is, if it kicks me in the face. 'Leaving All Behind' accomplishes this, and I don't understand reviews comparing this band to DragonForce... is it the tempos? Does anyone listen to music anymore? Ever heard Iron Savior - Starborn.. Labyrinth - Save Me.....etc.....there have been songs that fast for a while now, just not an entire album of the same thing. Doesn't mean those bands sound like D-F too. This song also sounds much more tr00 than DF. Unfortunately, I also found a lot of pther songs from this band are still pretty unmemorable to me, but I also would rather listen to this than DragonForce, it just sounds like amped up old Helloween or amped up old Edguy to me. Meat and potatoes.

Band had potential... oh well.

Chris Peterson is the name of the new White Wizzard singer!

Are they recording a new album with him? So far they've changed the singer after every release. Don't see how that's going to work in the long run.

Cellador put out a killer demo, and then Metal Blade signed them. They didn't have enough songs. It's the Dane Cook Syndrome.

I saw Dane Cook a year or so before he got ridiculously popular, and he was HILARIOUS! Just doing a local show in Boston. Funny as hell, though. Then he started that MySpace marketing thing where he wanted to get to a million friends. Next thing you know, he's the new "it" comedian because he went viral, basically.

So he gets an HBO deal to do a show, he's in movies, and so on. HBO put out the Dane Cook special...and he's not funny. Somewhat funny, but pretty boring overall. Why? I can't say exactly, but my opinion is that he didn't have enough jokes yet. He went from a great up-and-coming comic to a superstar out of his league. Overnight.

The same happened to Cellador. They had a handful of great songs which created a serious buzz, they got signed, Metal Blade wanted to push an album out there immediately, and they whipped up some new songs that simply weren't ready yet. The other songs came direct from the demo, and those are by and large the best tracks on the album.

I'd agree with Eyesore on both accounts.

Dane got too big too fast and Cellador had talent but not enough songs. Their album sounded like one long song. No variation. Everything full speed ahead. I never knew when one song ended and another began.

Yeah, I just picked up Enter Deception a couple of weeks ago. I was very impressed with the vocals and it was probably what I liked best about the album. What a shame.

Ultra - Ultra

Very nice Chewie! That was fast! Whaddaya think?

I really like Celladors debut.It was a regular spinner for quite a while.Too bad they dont have any new material coming out.

Just one from the weekend:

EARLY MAN-Death Potion

Quote :

EARLY MAN-Death Potion

That's out now? I gotta get it. Love those guys.

EDIT: Official release is tomorrow (July 20th). Guess I'll be stopping by FYE or Best Buy.

Yeah tomorrow is the official release date.I ordered mine from TheEnd records and it came in over the weekend.

By the way its a killer album.I've already listened to it a couple of times.Its gonna be a top one for me this year.

I'm a big fan of their previous works, so this purchase is a no-brainer for me. I don't need to hear a note, although I'm glad you like it. We seem to have pretty similiar tastes.

I don't think he quit, I think he was fired (just like the first one). I think it's the bass player that's the "leader" and founder of the band. If you ask me, it seems like he's the problem. I think this is the third complete overhaul of the band in the 4 or 5 years they've been around. He's the lone survivor from the initial line-up and I think there's only 2 members in the group now that actually played on Over the Top and the founder is the only one left that played on the High Speed GTO EP.

On top of that, I read that the first time around he actually disbanded White Wizzard and started up a new band. I forget the name of it though. He then decided to use the White Wizzard name again and formed a brand new line-up, which is the group that went on to play on High Speed GTO.

So yeah, I don't think White Wizzard is gonna be around for the long haul.

Ares Kingdom - Incendiary
Ion Britton - Eat Metal
Early Man - Death Potion
