Opeth - Heritage
Quote: Caught them last night in Houston. I think you summed the concert up nicely. I liked MA's professionalism along with the rest of the band. As much as some of the crowd wanted to start a pit, it just was not going to happen. ;) -

Heading to Las Vegas tomorrow - any advice?

buying metal lps
Aquarius Records: generally a nice selection, must read bi-weekly updates, going to pay full retail. However, shipping is prompt with attentive packaging. [ Aquarius Records ] Can't say I care for "the end." -
Are people afraid to get involved, or just don't care??

Coffee Anyone?

Nice, the Amesoeurs disk arrived. If you liked their first album, then I think you will enjoy this one. They do the "post-rock, blackened metal thing" nicely. -
