LifestreamIt is time to catch up on the metal music scene. I feel I neglected it somewhat last year. Better late than never, eh? Anyway, I was browsing the net for a credible list and the best I came up with was Metal-Rules. I had to go with the assumption that the list I was looking for had to mention Blind Guardian - A NIGHT AT THE OPERA, Nightwish - CENTURY CHILD and Dio - Killing The Dragon. I mean, you have to start with something that you actually know and like.
I noticed that many metal reviewers were leaning too heavily on black metal while forgetting the more traditional metal styles. Oh well. The list according to Metal-Rules is as follows:
- Blind Guardian - A NIGHT AT THE OPERA [CHECK!]
- Dream Evil - DRAGONSLAYER [CHECK!]
- Immortal - SONS OF NORTHERN DARKNESS [CHECK!]
- W.A.S.P. - DYING FOR THE WORLD [CHECK!]
- Tobias Sammet’s Avantasia - THE METAL OPERA PART II [CHECK!]
- Soilwork - NATURAL BORN CHAOS
- Dark Tranquillity - DAMAGE DONE [CHECK!]
- Nightwish - CENTURY CHILD [CHECK!]
- Luca Turilli - PROPHET OF THE LAST ECLIPSE [CHECK!]
- Dio - KILLING THE DRAGON [CHECK!]
