I've never heard of At The Gates and Evergrey? I'm doing some searching soon... if you put a great list of bands together like that then I'm fully assuming that they would both be fantastic.

At The Gates were one of the early bands in the Swedish Death Metal scene and certainly one of the best, their last album came out in 1995 "Slaughter of the Soul" and its an album I love. They split up after this, but have heard they have now got back togeather again. Evergrey are a power metal outfit that I discovered no too long ago and unlike extreme power metal Finnish band Children of Bodom, they play a far more mellower and melodic type of metal, you`d probably like them. Start with their debut "Dark Discovery" this is a great album.

By the way, two other great bands as well are In Flames and Dark Tranquility.

I saw Pain of Salvation two nights ago in Sydney supporting Dream Theater, I was dissapointed by the reaction of the crowd as 1 out of every 8 people was getting into it even though they put on a very good show. Could've played a few more of my favourites though I guess I have to go to a headlining show to see that, one of my favourite bands.

Cool thanks for the info... I will check them out for sure.

I've only heard a little of In Flames and I like what I heard. As for Dark Tranquility, I know them, I have the albums Fiction and Haven... I really like Fiction and I like the mix of symphonic metal and death metal but I haven't given either album enough time for me to have a solid opinion.

I was there as well Hammock and had the same exact reaction that you did, at least I enjoyed seeing them for the first (well for me it was the first time)... Everyone was still waiting outside and I heard negative things being said, I thought it was bull**** to be hearing it as they were great. I have their whole Ashes performance on video and loved hearing The Perfect Element at the end of their set. I was like this is so epic right now people are gonna be pumped for DT soon... but alas I had douchebags around me looking bored, what idiots!

Yeah I've been listening to Pain of Salvation for a few years now and I bought the ticket before they were announced because I'm a big DT fan but then I became heaps more pumped for the show after PoS were announced. I just don't see why the Dream Theater fans hardly took to the show at all, the microphone may have been a little off where you couldn't really understand what he was saying alot of the time but apart from that it was awesome.

Hm, I really love this band - the voice of Daniel, diversity of their music...
Every album is different and it's exactly what fits to me

What's your favourite album? And what do you think about album BE?
