Hi there from Windhoek, Namibia, In 1985 I stumbled across a cassette in a record store here in Windhoek, M�tley Cr�e �Theater of Pain,I bough it from my pocket money, and instantly became a metal fan. For the following years I was an exclusive metal head. In the nineties I started to explore other genres and some how got mainly fixated on progressive rock, thanks to Dream Theatre�s �When Dream and day unite�, for me still the best metal album of all times, the best Dream Theater album, and at least one of the best progressive rock albums of all time � I know not many will share this view! Nowadays I still listen regularly to metal, mainly progressive, but I also enjoy some of the not so progressive bands, like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, M�tley Cr�e, Edguy, Helloween, Annihilator, Flotsam & Jetsam, Death Angel Sabbat, Savatage, �. |

Welcome, your royal highness!  There are several DT fans here, and they'll welcome you here no matter which of their albums is your favorite. I believe there is another frequent poster who shares your opinion on "When Dream and Day Unite". Maybe they'll step forward. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

Hey good to see a Namibian on the forum! I lived in Namibia for almost two years in the late nineties. Mostly near Ondangwa, but I spent a lot of time in Windhoek and Swakop also. I didn't meet many metal or progheads there, Qasa Qasa was all the rage, but had some great times. I would like to go back OShile Nawa Man!

| Ongaipi, Dr Clovenhof! There is actually a small metal corwd persent in Namibia. We even have some bands. The two most well known ones are Arcana XXII ( http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/arcana-xxii.aspx?ac=Arcana" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/arcana-xxii.aspx?ac=Arcana ) and Submission. Both are however not active anymore. When I was still i school I used to play bass and keyboard with their guitarist Sven in probably Namibias first metal band. |
