    GO GO GADGET TL;DR-IZER

    (Sorry about the multiple adds to groups, blame the site for setting journals to be re-added to groups when edited :( )

    Continued from Part One: Leaves Eyes and Kamelot (and the Delain signing)

One festival attendee listed his top 3 most wanted StormWarrior tracks for the show as "1. Heading Northe, 2. Heading Northe, 3. Heading Northe."

    To preface, I'm not really a fan of power metal or progressive music; I haven't bothered to listen to much of either but my current impression of power metal is "sometimes fun but often boring" and my impression of progressive music is "sometimes amazing, often boring, sometimes annoying," and definitely requires a time commitment to appreciate that I'm usually unwilling to give. (Check out my Dream Theater plays... how are they even in my library? I must have fallen asleep with last. …
