Firienholt - By the Waters of Awakening

I just checked and Amazon has three more Arzén albums digitally that weren't on there before so I promptly bought 'em.  Fun upbeat rock/folk from Slovakia.

Manowar - Fighting the World / Kings of Metal / The Triumph of Steel

My first Manowar albums! Also got some non-metal albums. All bought in a store near the courthouse where I had my first hearing today. Had to celebrate that milestone of course.

Flood Ripped into Exile came

Not really a purchase since it's technically still my mom's, but yesterday my dad brought me Golden Earring - Seven Tears on vinyl. Last month my aunt (my mom's sister) died and during the memorial 'service' they played some older music by this band, that's why my mom remembered having this on vinyl and since she knows that my wife and I have taken a liking for old vinyl she gave it to us.

Nemedian Chronicles - The Savage Sword
Wintersun - Time II

I need to check that Wintersun, finally. What do you think?

It's pretty much what you expect, a continuation of Time I. They could have trimmed some of the atmospheric sound effects like thunder and rain, but it really does feel like one pompous and cinematic whole.

Death - Symbolic

To me this is the best DM album ever.

Volume - Joy Of Navigation

https://volume-rocks.bandcamp.com/album/joy-of-navigation-a-trip-through-the-eternal-unknown

Psychedelic doom-rock.  I went to church with the singer who's a neat guy.  Not a Christian band, but you won't find anything offensive.

Darkwater's three albums.

Far Beyond - The End of My Road

Nice!  I forget, do you have any other releases of theirs?  I really enjoy everything FB has put out.

I have A Frozen Flame of Ice, and I might pick up his debut at some point as well. I love his music.

Cool!  The debut is not as polished but has some really great songs on it, namely the title track.  The follow-up EP Songs Of Hope And Sorrow actually has some of my favorite FB material on it but I just looked and I didn't see it available anywhere.  I definitely recommend tracking it down if possible!

Striker-Road Warrior EP
