The Birthday Massacre - Underexposed Canadian band with 3 albums. The best I can describe their style is 80s synth/industrial/goth. TBM is a blast live, and how long has it been since you've seen a Keytar on stage? "I was scared by your excitement" -Chibi, on the 40-ish person crowd on the floor at the Omaha concert. Check out "Blue" "Walking With Strangers" "Nevermind" and "Lovers End" for a good sampling of their music. Within Temptation - For as much as I once loved Evanescence, WT has knocked Amy Lee from the fem-goth pedestal with their deeper, more layered sound. "The Heart of Everything" IMHO is their best album to date. Try "What Have You Done" and "Forgiven" Nightwish - I have to admit, I'd only heard a few of their songs with Tarja Turunen (former lead vocaless) before picking up "Dark Passion Play", but it was those few songs that got me started listening to symphonic metal this year. I don't know about old Nightwish fans' reactions to Anette Olzon, but I thoroughly enjoyed "DPP". Marco Hietala sings more on this album, getting a few tracks where he leads. I really liked "7 Days to the Wolves" "Bye Bye Beautiful" and "Eva". Adahlfin ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
