Anything with Steve Asheim on it gets my vote. Any new material coming out of the Florida death metal scene, fine. As corny as it all is, still have a soft spot for it.
That man is a genius classical music fan who plays a killer piano, works and tours endlessly and has really been the backbone and prop of Deicide, taking little credit when it was all about Glen Benton's satanic nonsense. But then Steve being the atheist, was always the sensible one.
I'm also interested to know what Joey Jordison's next musical move will be.
It sounds similar to the Sound City stuff Dave Grohl did. The song (From Can to Can't) he did with Corey Taylor, Rick Nielson & Scott Reader is amazing. Looking forward to hearing the album anyway
I've never really seriously listened to Nightwish but I must check them out more thoroughly.
Nightwish were the first Symphonic Metal band I got in to, I saw them on what turned out to be Tarja's last tour in 2005.
I never really took to Annette Olsen. She has a great voice but it was never the same. Floor Jansen, however, is perfect. Check out the Live at Wacken 2013 DVD, it is superb and Floor really nails all the songs.
There's been huge anticipation from fans over the new album and all the indications seem to be it will really deliver.

I have heard some of Floor's stuff with After Forever and she is an amazing singer (although I prefer when she sings soprano style).
I think Anette suffered from the same problem suffered by all singers who replace a much loved singer. She could never live up to the inevitable Tarja comparisons.

Been listening to the upcoming album from Furyon this morning, not my usual thing as such but this one sounds great!
I saw Furyon @ High Voltage in 2011 (?), a very underrated band - their first album is excellent.
There is a 4-track EP with the current Classic Rock, I'm assuming it is a taster for the new album, and based on that I'm really looking forward to it!
The Norweigan band Audrey Horne might well appeal to you if you like Furyon.

Glen Benton is a bit of an idiot. Homage To Satan is an absolutely savage song, though.
I'm still unsure as to why Joey was kicked out of Slipknot. I heard rumours of pain killer dependancy, but I can't find anything. He was a bit of a hero of mine growing up and was the reason that I bought a double bass pedal. He's pretty much the reason I started playing in metal bands.

Saw this earlier on myself, very excited to hear the album.

I'm thinking of going to Bloodstock for the day to see them.
The new Nightwish album, Endless Forms Most Beautiful, is out @ 30 March in the UK.

I think you are right.

What sort of stuff do you listen to?
Which one are you.:p:p
The drummer from Furyon used to be in the band that gave me my user name
Never heard them before. Good band, british too!:D:cool:
The drummer, Lee Farmery, is now the drummer in Furyon.

A 14-year old retarded boy with bum-fluff, perhaps? ;-)
Listen to what, precisely?
If you are attempting to slate metal fans, you are way off target.
Why metal fans are brainier
Me either.
Metal is awesome. Once it got it's hooks into me, that was it.
It's not all that I am about, of course, but most most the music in my collection falls under the broad banner of 'Metal' in some way.
