Kreutz's Music Forecast:

Shitty with a chance of metalcore, highs in the 1990's with lows in the 2000's.

[Battle_Pope]

ouch. Unfortunately unlike good weathermen, this info is pretty much true.

[Wind]

don't forget

OSI 2

(office of strategic influence for those who dont know, the side project of Mike Portnoy(Dream Theater) on drums, , Kevin Moore(Chroma Key, ex-Dream Theater) on lead vocals and keyboards, and Jim Mathoes(Fates Warning) on Guitars. The first cd also featured Sean Malone (Gordian Knot) on bass, and Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree) on vocals for one song.

The working title is Time ... But I guess you can't officially say that it'll be the actual title

[Crube]

Black Sabbath with dio? o_O

Three new songs to be added to the Dio Sabbath compilation. Better than nothing, right?

Huh?

nick rattled off like ten 2006 releases to me the other day and all i could think of just now were those two and blind guardian. but NOW i remember that the gathering and antimatter have stuff coming out soon. i think psycroptic does too, not sure

[darkon]

This year has some good albums, but every year does. I'm expecting yet another crappy year as a whole.

Come on now... NEW RUSH ALBUM!

was 2005 bad? i recall some pretty fucking killer stuff coming out

[darkon]

There's been an equal amount of good stuff every year. It's just that there doesn't seem to be one year where a ton of new albums come out that are all killer. There is always some pretty killer stuff coming out each year, but no year that is exceptional.

[Elitist Indie Hipster]

Alright, how about a Non-metal forecast?

[Tanni Foemangler]

looks like a new scar symmetry is due in march (if this random website is accurate)

so much melo-death to look forward to

[Tanni Foemangler]

i'm kinda stoked to see what yakuza come up wtih. that song they had on the CM site was pretty rad

[Battle_Pope]

yakuza ain't nothin but a Candiria knock-off.

[Tanni Foemangler]

yeah i know. but opeth is just an edge of sanity knock-off

[Battle_Pope]

well knowing is half the battle.

yakuza deliberately ripped them off though.
