How lucky I am!
Not only in one week I'm going to raise some hell in L.A. to a series of AWESOME gigs with buddy Johnny13 , but today I really found a jewel at the shop! Hunting for Johnny's present (which I found - something really rare and cool!), I happened to stumble on a 4 members signed copy of "Ressurrection" of the now split-up DUNGEON!!! A signed copy -----!! At an insanely low price (virtually for free)!! The shop guys must have taken the signs for some kind of dirt on the booklet.
And what a dirt!!
Here you are!
This month sampler is available ahead of time, since the Cpt. will be out for an historic reunion of Port Royal broderhood members on the Pacific coasts of North America. Can't really wait... counting the minutes!!
I was saying...? Ah, yeah... lots of good stuff entered the vaults this month... new treasures, but also fine"oldies". Absolutely to try are THROUGH YOUR SILENCE (2008), BATTLEROAR (2008), MARCO SFOGLI (2008), ATTACK (1989).
Hit the icon for direct DL (before it expires). Otherwise, on your right side, go to the PORT ROYAL WAVE page and get it from there!
Have fun!
Oh... earthquake shaking Port Royal... live report! Quite long...
Oh...and more than once!
Sorry guys! If everything is OK the server will be up and running tomorrow night again... I'm packing the HDs and what I need... never know!
By the way...
Obviously I brought on my trip a chest with a few recently acquired treasures and... it is only May, but I'm pretty sure that BATTLEROAR To Death and Beyond will be one of my 2008 best album. It is freeky AWESOME!!! This youg band from Greece has put tugether a f**king epic and f**king "metallic" piece of music this time! The tunes, heavy and rythmic, are a blow-away; the singing and the choruses are super; the songwriting too is fantastic. Give it a try... and buy it, because it deserve the money. "Oceans of pain" is amazing!
Another jewl - more difficult to get your dirty hands on, since it is included in a DVD package - is SUIDAKRA-13 Yers of Celtic Wartunes. I love these guys, a very skilled and original German band who do not happens to have in return the success and the attention it would deserve.
Get them before they expire!
Holyday time around here... It is called Golden Week. One of the few periods when the gates of our zoo are open and millions of animal are left free to swarm around... close to the zoo, or abroad.
Since I had no treasures to barth and some work to do (a couple of brigs to board... some slave trade... etc.), I couldn't go quite far. Yet I also had two day off and left the port. Here you can see a couple of shots of the historic city of Kamakura... the animals left free... Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Temple... and spmebody.
Beautifull weather, even if windy. Today souvenir was a cold...!
Sharing two precious jewels:
CROWN OF AUTUMN-The Treasure Arcane (1997)
[Not new but awesome Melodic Death M. from Italy. Very hard to find now]
DRED-A Path to Extinction (2006)
[Technical Death M. from Australia. It blew me away on first listen and happy of that sent a mail of compliment to the band. Most kindly they sent me a copy of their album in exchange!]
Check the sound in the sampler, if you want.
Get them before they expire! Have fun!
Yeah, you can bet your ass I went!
