Your recent Metal purchases

Raff wrote: Now, in order to keep the Metal purchases thread dedicated to our favourite genre, I think it would be a good idea to have a separate thread for everything non-metal that we have recently bought. Personally, I have no problems with seeing classical, jazz, world-music or 'other' rock CDs listed in the Metal Purchases thread, but some members might - so, this solution should make everyone happy. I have therefore opened such a thread in the General Music Discussions section, and moved Lucas' post there. Please, feel free to make use of that new thread whenever you want to display your most recent non-metal finds!

  I wanna keep it Metal Raff and when the Jazz one comes on that will be the same. Believe it or not I will stick to the genre on each site Prog Archives well Progressive music though is a melting pot with all the influences thrown in. ( Thats my excuse) but Metal Rules better say that or

How is that Morbid Angel album? I don't have that one...

So my Century Media order came today and my grab bag contained the following albums:

Helloween - "Unarmed", which horribly, horribly sucks, so much so that I returned it to the store

It's my favourite of theirs. I first listened to it around 17 years ago (on a tape), and I am still enjoying it very much. It's brutal and technical.

Man, "Slaughter of the Soul" basically changed Swedish Death Metal and the surrounding Nordic
Countries. A VERY influencial Album, but hey, its pretty heavy stuff.
"Rust in Piece"  reinvigorated the Thrash movement into more Technical Compositions, thanks to
Marty Friedman (who I was a Fan of YEARS before that Megadeth Album came out).
Excellent choices me thinks .
Its Funny how Tool splits up the Metal and Prog Community, I think theyre both .
I like'em.

My Recent Purchases (for the past few months, I dont get to spend as much as I used to
and I dont buy on-line), Anything highlighted in Blue are for donations to Progulus.com:
Prog Metal:
1. Orphaned Land- The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR
2. Stonehenge- Angelo Salutante (Used)
3. Leprous- Tall Poppy Syndrome (Used) Death Prog Metal ala' Opeth.
4. Cains Offering- Gather the Faithful (Used) Power/Prog Metal.
5. Entwined- Dancing Under Glass (Used) A rare find! A bit Dark Wave-ish
but a Male "Rough Thrash-like" voice.

Post-Prog Metal/
1. Primus- Miscellaneous Debris (Used) Been wanting to get this for awhile,
5 remakes of unusual songs (except "Have a Cigar").

Death/Math Metal:
1. Augury- Fragmentary Evidence
2. Meshuggah- I (Used)
3. Soilwork- Figure Number Five (Used)
4. Soilwork- The Chainheart Machine (Promo)
5. Ihshan- angL (Used)

Thats it for now

Other purchases around same time (if anyone cares to see it)-
Prog Rock:
1. Karmakanic- Who's the Boss in the Factory (Used) These guys get a
bit heavy, much like Enchant.
2. Negus- Dare to Dream (Used) "Steve Negus", original Drummer of
Saga. Cool Find!
3. Saga- Generation 13 (Used)
4. Victor (Used) Alex Lifeson of Rush, 1st and only Solo Album. I dont
see it around much anymore, so I bought it to replace my "Promo" version.
5. Native Window- Debut (Used) I hate to say this, very disapointing
I'm a HUGE Kansas Fan, basically its Kansas without Steve Walsh with
Bassist Billy Greer on Vocals.  This Album sounds like modern Pop
Country, with "tinges" of Prog.  I can see that Walsh is probably the moving
force behind Kansas, if Kerry Livgren isn't in the line-up.
Rock:
1. Jefferson Starship- Modern Times
Its about fricken time! I've waited for 25 Years for this to be released on
CD (I only have it on LP, and I havent had a Turn-Table for 15 Years). 
Some songs get a bit Proggie, and "ALIEN" is worth the whole album.
