I reckon 'Never Ending' would make a good James Bond theme.
And 'Tears of Lust' would make a good Bond movie title.
In fact there are a few symphonic metal tunes that would work for 007.
I'm going to see Delain tomorrow night, anyone else got tickets for the tour? I was surprised when they announced this short tour, though, as I spoke to both Martijn and Charlotte after they supported Within Temptation at Wembley Arena and they said they didn't think they would have enough time to play the UK again this year.
It shows what a good support can do, though, as they are playing bigger venues and every night is sold out.
Oh, and Pythia have confirmed they have received the new CDs so they should be shipped soon!
None of these bands ever come to Northern Ireland so if I wanted to see them, it involves great expense which I can't afford
PS I really wish people would give over about Within Temptation headlining Bloodstock next year. They are as deserving as any other band of the honour :mad:
PPS My brother is getting me the Within Temptation DVD for Christmas

They'll be playing main support to Sabaton at the London Forum in January too.

It is a shame it is a Monday or I might have gone!!
Delain were very, very, good last night. They played the Academy 2 in Birmingham, which was sold out, and it wouldn't surprise me if they don't do a headlining tour next year and play the main Academy venues.

If you're just talking Birmingham, it's a big jump from Academy 1 & 2. Academy 2 is 600 capacity & the main room is 3,000. I don't see them at that stage yet. Especially if they're still playing support to bands like Sabaton, who aren't at that level

They are supporting Sabaton on their European tour, which I would have thought would be at bigger venues than The Forum. Their support slot for Within Temptation's UK tour gained them a lot of new fans, which was eveident last week as there were a lot of people wearing WT Hydra tour t-shirts and the three date tour they have just done sold out pretty quickly so with the right promotion they could move up to the bigger venue.
After all, if you told WT in 2007 they would be playing Wembley Arena in seven years they would have laughed because when they played Brixton Academy on that tour it was barely half full.

My perks from the enkElination Indiegogo campaign arrived today and I am watching the live show video now.
I have to say after seeing them cover Queen's The Show Must Go On, Elina Siirala has really gone up in my estimation of her vocal talent. She nailed it.
I think I am coming around (sort of) to the harsher vocal style, at least in so far as their use on songs like Silver Moonlight and Tell Me Why by Robert Westerholt. I even listened to an Epica album yesterday and was not put off by the harsher vocals.
I will always prefer the predominant vocal style to be clean vocals but it's good that I can listen to more music in the symphonic genre.

Was there supposed to be a link in there somewhere?

I will check them out later.
Two more British bands, Pythia and Winter In Eden have albums coming out soon as well!!

Another two bands I recently discovered

The new Winter In Eden album, Court of Conscience, is well worth checking out. Their best album yet I think!
I'm sure it's as awful now as it was then.

Also, not long now to the new album from Pythia. Looking forward to that.
I'll check it out.
I'm looking forward to the new Pythia album too, I saw them earlier this year and Emily said they were very pleased with it.
The new Winter In Eden album is getting very good reviews as well, I think it is by far their best.
I'm going to see Lacuna Coil tonight, so really looking forward to that!

Yes, I saw that. Both bands are supporting Nightwish on their American tour early next year as well.

Savatage - Christmas Eve

On a related note, this must have hurt!!
Delain bassist Otto Schimmelpenninck injured during Birmingham show
Fair play to Otto, though, there was nothing to suggest he was injured at all during the gig!! I only read about it the following day.
It's got them a lot of free publicity though. So I guess it might be worth the pain in the long run.
