Yea I just read about Cynthesis today. I have to check it out. The newer vocalist is good but I think I like their second vocalist better.

Erik Rosvold or Fred Marshall? Eric seems to be the fan favorite, and he's the dude singing on the Cynthesis album. Fred only sings on A Fragile Mind. And then Chris Salinas, the Power of Omens vocalist, sang on the last two albums.

I guess there was another singer on their first demo, but no one has ever heard it. The band says it was a lame demo anyway. Haha.

I'm still confused about what's going on with them. Zero Hour is apparently either no more or on hiatus due to Troy and Jasun not being able to write together. This all due to Troy's nerve damage. Yet he's on the Cynthesis album and the Abnormal Thought Patterns EP...and it sure as hell doesn't sound like he's slowed down at all.

Kind of confusing, actually. Maybe I should ask the band.

Erik. Yea I'm not sure whats with them either. I read about Troy getting Surgery and then they were going to work on new Zero Hour. I think they are still an active band. The last album was only put out in 2008 so its not that long ago.

Heaven & Hell - Neon Knights (DVD)
Judas Priest - Stained Class (remaster)
Ozzy - No Rest For The Wicked (1996 remaster)
Ozzy - No More Tears (1996 remaster)
Kiss - Kiss (remaster)

Nightwish- Imaginarium (Deluxe 2 cd with t shirt and autographed poster)

Jasun has made comments before which makes me think Zero Hour was more of a collaborative effort, where they'd get into a room and just tear it up for hours, and that's how they made an album. I don't think Troy can do that anymore, so they decided to create new music individually, you know.

It's some weird "respect for the band" type of thing. Of course, Cynthesis sounds a hell of a lot like Zero Hour!

I have you to thank for that. That song in those comps you sent me hooked me like a marlin in a deep sea fishing expedition.

This is video form of my purchases. And actually if anyone watches this the Holy Grails 7" are not for sale sorry one is red & one is green vinyl made a mistake on the video!

Those wondering who the band is in the background it is Night Mistress - The Back Of Beyond.



Wargod

In Flames - Lunar Strain
In Flames - Subterranean

Both are the 2005 Regain re-issues and come with bonus tracks. Subterranean is officially considered an EP, but I have always considered it as an album or as an addition to Lunar Strain (at one time both were packaged together).

What do you think of the Dogbane cd?

I am pleasantly surprised by this disc. Has a very strong late 70's vibe to it. The songs are very good and the playing is top notch. I would say that the emphasis is more on the heavy than the metal, but there is tons of both.

I asked because the drummer is a good friend of mine. They're gearing up for some live shows soon.

I need to get this. The only trouble is that it is on Frontiers records and the best time to get their releases is on release date. Leave it and the prices started to rise

Aw...Ken. You made my name so pretty!
