DANGER DAYS: THE TRUE LIVES OF THE FABULOUS KILLJOYS- MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE





Finally after four years of silence from MCR they release this record that just screams rebellion, anarchy and end of days in a slightly mature rebel without a cause sort of way. What a way to come back with an apocalyptic, in your face, I don’t give a f*** attitude album. It was also said that this album was a troubled one to make. But we should all be glad that they decided to continue on and create this awesome album. Danger Days. . . Is one of the best albums that came out towards the end of 2010 into 2011. it’s a great record to start the year of with.
I give this a: 9

7TH SYMPHONY- APOCALYPTICA





If you are a fan of Symphonic rock, then you’ll like Apocalyptica’s 7th Symphony. The musicians from Apocalyptica are one of a kind. They a classically trained Finnish band. Having started as a Metallica Tribute band then evolving into a band of their own right and working with such artist as Lauri Halonan from The Rasums and Ville Valo from HIM to create the song “Bittersweet”. In this album “7th Symphony” They feature guest appearances from Lacey of “Flyleaf” to Brent Smith of “Shinedown”
I give this an: 8 1/2

A THOUSAND SUNS - LINKIN PARK




I guess you can say the are now former nu-metal genre band. Since they have accomplished what they wanted to do in terms of a new sound for the band. The main band’s songwriter Mike Shinoda totally did a 360 with this new record because it doesn’t sound like their previous albums (Minutes to Midnight, Meteora and Hybrid Theory).
I am glad that this album came out sounding different from the last couple of albums they’ve put out. It shows that they are ready to try something new and not be defined and confined to a particular sound.
I give it :10 (Based on a scale from 1-10, 1 being the lowest 10 being the highest)

Daniel Lioneye to open for Cradle Of Filth Concert on Feb 8th 2011 at CLUB NOKIA

As you may have or may not of known, that CRADLE OF FILTH is on tour and soon they will be heading to Los Angeles on the 8th of February at Club Nokia. I have made it my mission to attend this event for a couple of reasons but one of them being that Finnish Musician Daniel Lioneye will open for the Main acted.

For those that don't know who DANIEL LIONEYE is well let me tell you. He is AKA LINDE from HIM (a Finnish, Love Metal band) HIM is a very successful band. They have a large fan base in Europe and Scandinavia but for some reason a huge fan base in the US. Which I think is a shame. They are really good. But I think is due illegal downloads of their music which may be why they are not as successful here in the States. Any way DANIEL LIONEYE aka LINDE is a side project that started back in 2000-2001 when HIM had some down time.

The First Album to come from that project was "King of Rock N Roll" With LINDE aka (DANIEL LIONEYE) as the vocals and guitar, Mikko Heinrik Julius ‘MigĂ© Amour' Paananen on bass, Ville Hermanni ‘Rakohammas' Valo on drums, Kai ‘Hiili' Hiilesmaa on keyboards.




After a nine years of inactivity LINDE aka DANIEL LIONEYE returned to the Studio this time with H.I.M. keyboardist Janne "Burton" Puurtinen and Enochian Crescent drummer Black Vomit Bolton for what came to be an industrialized black metal experiment album.
