The Infernal Sea have been announced for the New Blood Stage. SUPERB band! Check them out if you haven't already

Recent purchases for me include: Finntroll - "Blodsvept" Sabaton - "The Art of War" Ex Deo - "Caligvla" Panopticon - "Social Disservicies" Panopticon - "Collapse" Panopticon - "Panopticon" Panopticon - "On the Subject of Mortality" Panopticon - "Kentucky" Cryptik Howling - "Them" Cryptik Howling - "Vitium Intus" ... and I pre-ordered Cryptik Howling's "Synthetic Ascension Design". The Panopticon stuff is amazing! I wrote a review of "Kentucky". I'd be happy to share the link if anyone is interested.

According to my Last.fm, my top 5 bands for this week are: 1. Finntroll 2. Eastern Front 3. Theudho 4. Frostwork 5. De Profundis Obviously, this changes week by week.

Apologies for the double post... but... I'm seriously hooked on the new album. It's ridiculously good!

Ummm... maybe "Ordinance" by Secrets of the Moon.

I'm looking forward to getting the debut EP from Sidious. Just been listening to the stream on ZT Mag's site and it sounds great. Just my cuppa tea!

I'll give it a go!

Finntroll - "Skogsdotter"

I got the album yesterday - I love it already. Not a grower like "Nifelvind" (although I now also love that album). Roll on May when I can see them! Keep of Kalessin are supporting as well - it's going to be fantastic!

I do a bit.... I took part in Nanowrimo in 2011 - that was a lot of fun (although no-one will EVER read that novel!). I'd like to actually write a novel someday and get it published, but it's difficult to get started. Do you write? Can you give me any tips?

Hey Deb, welcome to the site! I'm a newbie too

Great to meet you!

I get what you're saying, but I'd still say it was theft to a degree. I think we need to rethink these terms when discussing digital media, as they no longer refer physical products. On a personal note, if I created an album and someone illegally downloaded it, I'd feel like it was theft. What about you? Alternatively, we could use the 'piracy' word. Although it does make me think of actual pirates...

I agree completely. Well, aside from the Watain comment - haha! If a band works hard and remains true to their sound, then I'm happy for them to achieve some sort of commercial success.
