Can you even get Insurgents on dvd? I have not seen anything on this yet, and I love his solo album, as well as anything Porcupine Tree or heck I even love Blackfield too, but PT is top notch!

The Insurgentes DVD is already available for pre-order from Burning Shed. It's a documentary film directed by Lasse Holle, about the making of the solo album.

groovy....

thanks......

I've been seeing people already saying they're disappointed with it on various websites, but I can't stop listening to it! Definitely the best album since Twisted Into Form. (No offense to Distortion which I do enjoy)

The new Virgin Steele album is absolutely mindblowing. It might just be their best album yet. Epic metal at its absolute finest.

I'm not as heavy a buyer as some of you, I only get what I like (or know I will like).

I have bought:

Avantasia - Angel of Babylon
Avantasia - The Wicked Symphony
Blaze Bayley - Promise and Terror
Blind Guardian - At the Edge of Time
Circle II Circle - Consequence of Power
Gamma Ray - To the Metal!
Helloween - 7 Sinners
HIM - Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practise
Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier
Jon Oliva's Pain - Festival
Poisonblack - Of Rust and Bones
Rage - Strings to a Web
Sons of Liberty - Brush-Fires of the Mind
Star One - Victims of the Modern Age
Therion - Sitra Ahra

Real power metal heavy. I don't think it's been a real awesome year - I wouldn't say the number of exciting new releases has blown me away like it did for instance in 2006 and 2004. My favourites so far are the Blaze and Rage albums.

I am looking forward to a couple more releases and then I should be set to do my favs of 2010. This has been another good year for me.

I REALLY like the new Angra release, I think it is a great example of progressive power metal.

I am digging the Chris Laney release from this year. I wasnt sure at first but I found it for a good price and decided to take the plunge...

more weed-induced, b-movie schlock goodness from our British friends...Electric Wizard

Amazing indeed

I was thinking about it and a large number of releases this year have been from German bands/artists (many of which I didn't get and probably won't get this year):

Masterplan
Accept
Helloween
Kiske/Sommerville (Kiske and Mat Sinner)
Avantasia
Axel Rudi Pell
Blind Guardian
Gamma Ray
Scorpions
Rage
Crematory
Symphorce

Those are just the bands I know.

I know it's been a great year for new metal, since joining this forum it's been hard to keep up with the purchases because I keep having to go back and check out older bands that I missed out on due to the fact that I just didn't know about them at the time because I live in a country music dominated area. Yuck!

this forum does spend my money with reckless abandon... especially toho!!

So far, i got over 40 cds this year. Not to mention the next eight to ten records i'll be getting before the end of December.

I'm full...

Holy Crap! I just counted my 2010 releases alone and it equlas 65! And I've still got two comming to me (Helloween and Thunderstone) and at least one more I want to get when it comes out (Allen/Lande). That number doesn't even include the many other CDs I got this year. I know I needed to cut down my CD buying but I didn't know it was that bad.

There's a few releases I still want to get before the year is up. It has been a really good year for metal.

It has snuck up on me too. I think with the year starting slow is what did it.

I know! I was trying to cut down on my cds this year but it isnt happening...

Another release that I will probably get is the new Daath. Just found out about it and I really liked the last two from them.

Halford - Made of Metal
Sinbreed - When Worlds Collide
Rex Carroll Band - That Was Then This is Now
ReinXeed - Majestic

Rush - Caravan (single)
Darkwater - Where Stories End
Saint - Hell Blade (2010 actual release)


that comes to mind at the moment..

I still have a few albums I am waiting for before the end of this year but these:
Charred Walls of the Damned -S/T
