I am really looking forward to the new Arcturus. I'm very happy to hear that it's awesome. I haven't listened to Blind Guardian in about 10 years. I will have to check it out. And I have a really hard time getting into Nightwish. Tried in high school but that was about the same time I stopped listening to BG lol. Will have to check them out again I think
Same thing with me with Nightwish, they have this new vocalist that at least in my opinion fits better in the band, I don't like much Nightwish but this a good album to check out. And you can never go wrong with Arcturus, now that ICS Vortex is the vocalist they sound great, maybe in my taste Urd from Borknagar is a little bit better but it's a different theme this new album of Arcturus.
