My stereo specifically requires "female-unleaded metal bands only".

The jam for the answers. Ayreon Symphony X Pain of Salvation After Forever Nightwish Blind Guardian Therion Primal Fear Enchant Iced Earth Ozric Tentacles Porcupine Tree Rhapsody Poverty's No Crime Persephone's Dream Stratovarius I'm sure there are more but these are the ones I'm thinking of right now. So where in the world do they come from?

I've never been to one of their shows, but I have seen the Philly region's own Sabbra Cadabra a few times. Dead on, even the between-song banter.

Damn, that's too bad. It really -is- a funny show...and I've only been able to see parts of it. > however, this singer sounds like someone we all (or most of us) > may know. it would be........???? Actually, it isn't someone you're likely to know...or know of. It's Jason Miller of the band Godhead; they're all good friends of mine, almost like family. He was in the very first episode and at least one other, from what Sharon O. told us. Ozzy is himself a bit of a Godhead fan. I tend to like a lot of different styles of music, and Godhead is certainly not yer basic joe-average prog-metal band (they're goth/techno/industrial), so y'all are excused if you don't know 'em. :) For the curious, I'll recommend the cd POWER TOOL STIGMATA as a starting point. (It -did- earn a slot on Dave "Pixel Planet" Thomas' list of best CDs of the 90s, and he's One of Us. :)) -- +--- Paul W.

When I read this review, I had just gotten the cd, and it was sitting in my "to listen to" pile. So, based on this review and the fact that I really like thier 1994 disc "Beyond the Veil"(instrumental), I moved it to the top of the pile. Needless to say I had huge expectations. Let's just say I was disappointed after I listened to it. It's not bad, I just don't think it compares to Nightwish/Edenbridge/Sinphonia at all. Your mileage may vary.....
