Whoa, this album really hit me! Unique mix of melodic hardcore, punk and metal.

One of the best finnish albums this year so far. Twisted metal filled with energy. It took some time to get into this one but the album really rocks.

Before the Dawn is the first solo project of a talented musician Tuomas Saikkonen. The latest album called 'The Ghost' is the third album from Before the Dawn and it is the best album what Tuomas has released so far. Metal album worth buying.

Another killer album from Swedish band Raised Fist! If you haven't heard this band already, hurry up and go buy this album. I can't decide is this album better than the previous album 'Dedication' but it is one of the best albums released 2006!



Watch the Video Sound of the Republic or listen at MySpace.

I bought this album yesterday and I've listened it through a couple of times.



10'000 Days seems to be heavier, more organic and a bit melodic than the previous album Lateralus. And the cover art is awesome, the best album cover what I've seen. Album comes with 3D goggles what you can use to examine the cover art in 3D!

It took a while to get into Lateralus and I think that Lateralus is one of the best albums ever made. We'll see how good album 10,000 Days appears to be.

I've been thinking to get some older music albums and I've noticed that all good oldies are available only as remastered CD versions. I don't really like remasters because they don't sound nearly as good as the original master tapes.

So I came to this solution; I'll buy a turntable and try to find those old albums in vinyl.

Few months of thinking and searching the web for second hand turntables I found this beauty.

The original Rega Planar 2 with glass platter.


I also needed a RIAA -machine so I could connect the turntable to my amplifier. So I bought this used Project Phono Box Mk1.


I've been listening this combo for a couple of days and oh boy, I love this analog sound.

Amorals second album called 'Decrowning' was released half year ago by Spikefarm Records (www.spinefarm.fi).



Band plays aggressive and technical death metal with sense of style. Songs are excellent and you can listen the album without feeling that band members just want to show off their fast fingers.
