^That song's pretty good. It's clear they're not really metal anymore, but at least that's a well written song, where some of the stuff on the last album was just a total mess, imo, and the title track for the new album kinda felt the same. At least this is one of their better softer songs.
That Testament song did nothing for me. It has some good riffs, but on the whole it feels bland and forgettable. It's weird, because I liked their last album a lot, but I tried the one before that and didn't care much for it, and now this one doesn't look great either.

Awesome song, can't wait for the album!  I didn't care for that Opeth song, I loved the title track, but the new song just sounded so generic.

Being a big Jethro Tull fan that new Opeth song hit the spot for me as it had a strong Tull vibe. I've got high hopes for Sorceress as I really enjoyed the title track too. It's rumoured there's going to be some heavier moments too though whether they're metal or not remains to be seen.
Testament also sounding great but they'll have to go some to beat the last 2 albums.

Interesting, wasn't expecting a song like that from KATL. Reminds me of Devin Townsend actually. There are some cool riffs there, but I easily preferred the previous song released.

I got one too though I haven't played it yet. Not a band I really know anything about. Love the cover art though.

Their last album, As The World Bleeds (2011) is a killer power/prog-metal album. Mostly power metal but you can hear a slight progginess to it. It's probably my favorite album from 2011

As the World Bleeds is great, but I actually prefer their second album, Mirror of Souls. That 22 minute title track is something very special. The new album doesn't have anything like that, but I think it may be their most consistent album yet.

I'm stoked for this one too:
I loved their debut album, 'Heart Of Oak' Very much reminded me of what would happen if you mixed cookie monster-era Opeth with Mastodon |

Nightmare (France) have released their first song with Magali Luyten:
I'm a bit torn, because Jo Amore was my favorite thing about their music, but this song's pretty cool, and obviously Magali's a great singer as well. The cover art for the album looks nice:  |

Okay so I did listen to the song now. I'm not blown away by the track itself, but then I didn't go too much on the last Nightmare album either.
Getting over my shock to have missed that Nightmare seem to have had some sort of bust up with the Amore brothers, I do have to say that Magali fits in well - closest a female voice can likely come to the same style of singing that Jo Amore used. I'm tentatively looking forward to hearing the new album in full.

Looks like Nightmare aren't the only band to part ways with a member I'd have deemed key to their sound: Eluveitie have split with Anna Murphy (along with Ivo Henzi and Merlin Sutter), who have formed their own group called Cellar Darling (after Murphy's solo album). They released their first two track single a few days ago:
I've never been a massive follower of Eluveitie so normally a few members leaving wouldn't bother me so much, but the songs Anna Murphy did sing for them were usually my favourites so I dont see me having much interest in what that band does next. These two songs from Cellar Darling are okay, but I'm not blown away either.

^They're actually doing Evocation II next, which will be weird without Anna Murphy, since she sang most of the songs on the first album.
Another new Metallica song has been released: I'm about to watch it now, but the general fan reaction seems very positive, surprisingly. Well, I'm in shock! That's two great songs in a row for them!
