That is an excellent album.
Am I the only one here who likes Helloween but doesn't care for Michael Kiske? I'm only into Helloween's albums with Andi Deris and when Kai Hansen was the lead singer (their self titled EP and Walls of Jericho).

I'm seeing Dragonforce on December 8th... and maybe 9th too.
Also A Twist In The Myth is already out. It came out on Monday in the UK. And on Tuesday in the US I believe.

Any Flash- capable members here?
Im very flash capable. But a opeth video is a crazy idea. WAAAAY to long man. Even if you finished it, it would be to large to upload to NG ;). Unless maybe you completely avoided anything that will boost the file size such as gradients, good quality audio, lots of symbols, etc. But it would be nearly impossible to make a flash movie avoiding all 3 of those. :)

Oh and i forgot to mention that even if you did manage to avoid anything that would boost the filesize to were you cant upload...You would hit flashes little wall called the 'frame limit'.
Thats assuming you ran the flash at a decent speed of 24-30 fps. Judging by how long the average opeth song is, id say that you would hit the limit about half way through the flash.

Theres always the possibility of cutting down on the song though. Cutting sections out, etc.
If you ever get round to it you should do 'To Bid You Farewell'.... though like WPFF says, it'll be well to long.
But like I said... croppy, croppy, croppy.
On September 16th I am going to a concert. 3 Inches of Blood will be playing there, and a few other bands.

I can't rember, but it's probably a bunch of other bands from Canada. I'll see if I can find out.
Do anybody listen to Scar Symmetry?
if so how would you classify their style of metal?

Melodic death, very good melodic death.
Sorta reminds me of early Fear Factory...

I'm aware of those problems, but if the flash is too big in filesize to fit through the portal, you can always send it by e-mail and ask if they will upload it manually. This is the case with several collaborations as well, since they tend to boost up on the filesize.
The frame limit has no problem with Ghost of Perdition as on 24fps it only takes up the pitiful 15,000-something frames. :)
In that case I will probably take on the task myself but that will mean loads of work and probably lower quality since my knowledge and technique could always be better. I don't have a drawing tablet, which I'd love to get, so I'll probably use some kind of weird style to get through the long, silent parts... stick figures, anyone?!
:D Nah, seriously, these things tend to take a long time so don't bother coming after it anytime soon. :P I have so much to learn about organizing myself in Flash to make the working process slide smoothly... Still, any advise will be good. Try sending me a private message ( I hope that system works, never tried) if you get any ideas or want to help.
Thanks anyways, you already made some difference.

If a chick had a voice like that, that would be pretty creepy. Hansen didn't have a deep voice, but it wasn't too girly. Kind of.....what's a good word? ...raspy?
Plus Heavy Metal (is the Law) rocks....IMO. You just had to go and judge one of my favorite songs on the Walls of Jericho album. :(
Although I think they were better when Deris joined. Too bad about Ingo, though. :(

Hey man, I never said anything about it being a bad song. I quite like Helloween. Even their latest effort wasn't too bad.

Hey, Kiske was good in the Keeper albums. Not sure about the two other Helloween albums he was in since I don't own those albums yet (Pink Bubbles Go Ape and Chameleon).

I've listened to their song Guardians. I thought it sounded like a kid was singing the song. :S

Yeah, I thought he was a good drummer. It sucks that he's gone now. :(

Hansens voice is the reason I'm checking out Helloween. I heard him on Blind Guardians 'Valhalla' and loved it. Its so manly :).

I've never really thought of Hansen's voice as "manly", but if you like it make sure you check out Gamma Ray.

The manly part was sarcasm :P. But I suppose its so unmanly, that its manly....
And aye, I've already got some Gamma Ray waiting to be listened to. Just gotta finish downloading some Avantasia.

I need to try and get a Gamma Ray album. I either forget to see if there's any Gamma Ray CDs in the shops or I just don't see them in the shops. Not much of a problem since I'll go and order them off Amazon, but for now, I have Blind Guardian, Helloween and Megadeth to mainly concentrate on at the moment.

Why Amazon? Look in stores for CD's. Thats what i do. I look everywhere. I finally got the best BG album, Nightfall In Middle Earth. Im gonna get A Twist In The Myth when i find it.

In England if its not Pop, RnB, Pop-Metal or Radio Rock then you'll never find it in a music store.

Thats not really true. I've seen tons of good metal in stores. Including Helloween, Gamma Ray, Sonata Arctica, Obitury, Running Wild, Edguy, Morbid Angel, Burzum, Opeth, Napalm Death Anthrax and tons more...
And that's only the big chain stores... You should find lots more in smaller independant shops.

Kay it was an exaggeration. But I'm still mad about them not having Blind Guardian in stock.

In Blackpool we fear small independant shops. There's one in Poulton but they charge like £17 for a second hand copy of Risk.

Ha! My local shop has a 3 for £20 deal on about a third of their entire stock. The rest isn't bad either... Normally £13 (exactly) for most albums. ...And thats brand new CDs!
Plus, the guy who runs it is really friendly & nice, so I want to keep him in business.
I actually liked Risk too...
Oh shit. I've been working on a Mercyful Fate video for like months now. Is the song Evil too long?
?

I've been making a music video with flash, and I didnt think about the song being too long or not.
My last post was sort of in response to the guy talking about how illogical an Opeth video would be.
