Why all the vampires?

Lots of bands have already announced albums to be released in 2009. Oh my god, I’m having a musical stroke…

Dream Theater's latest album - a special edition of Systematic Chaos.

Sometime in the spring (I’ll see them live on Sweden Rock Festival in the beginning of June as their first gig for the upcoming tour), progressive metal pioneers Dream Theater will release their so far untitled tenth studio album described by the band as:

[...] a DT album with A Change Of Seasons, Octavarium, Learning To Live, Pull Me Under and The Glass Prison….all on one album.

Today it was revealed that one of my all time favorite bands, Finnish symphonic power metal giants Nightwish will release a live DVD/CD entitled “Made in Hong Kong (and Various Other Places)“, as a result of their Dark Passion Play Tour.

On the doom metal front, British My Dying Bride will release their tenth studio album “For Lies I Sire” on an untold date in 2009. Track listing is already revealed! After still rolling as heavily on their 2006 release “A Line of Deathless Kings“, I don’t think I’ll be disappointed.

Again some Nightwish news: They have reported they’ll soon draw back to record their seventh studio album, and they have also said both Tuomas and Marco have several finished songs. Probably to be released in either late 2009 or early 2010!

For later years: Dutch symphonic rock / metal band Within Temptation has announced their next album to be released in 2010, and American power metal Kamelot are planning their tenth album in 2011!

I recently discovered a new band. It’s a really good gothic-doom metal band called To/Die/For, from southeastern Finland. Check them out on their page at Last.fm or go download / buy their music somewhere. They are currently looking for a new label so they need all help they can get selling albums; i. e., buy their albums if you find them! I can’t… :/

Their vocalist is a bit weird (at least the voice…) but give him a try! This is the second doom metal band I’ve liked, the other one being My Dying Bride, and To/Die/For are much better :) Started listening the day before yesterday, still listening with barely any interruptions. ^^

I especially like songs like Little Deaths, Jaded and Fragmented.
You’ve got to at least try them. PLEASE!<3
