Kama - Dol Ammad - Star Tales

Ok, this is a very unusual metal band. It doesn't feature a single vocalist, it features a choir of many people! And the theme here is the space, not the medieval times as usual. The drums are fast, the guitars and bass are heavy and add a big choir and you have something really interesting! Plus the keyboard play a big role here, since its space/science fiction themed, the keyboard adds the special effects and electronic elements to the music.

This is a very bold and different kind of project and its totally worthy to check out! And as you saw in Leo's previous post, they make AWESOME limited editions! And the regular ones are like this digipak! I love when they release albums as digipak only :D

Andy Riyana - Avantasia - Scarecrow

I like how Nuclear Blast make "Mailorder edition" of some releases. This time Andy show us his special edition of The Scarecrow by Avantasia. Awesome album by the way.

Carlos Arturo - Hammerfall

Carlos don't focus only in one band! He also has this awesome Hammerfall collection! And I gotta say, even though many people find those stickers rather annoying, I just love them. Adds a lot of value to the album by describing it in an official way!

Hope to see more details of those digipaks! Sorry, I just love digipaks :D

Andy Riyana - His Collection

Andy Riyana sent us awesome pictures of his collection. I can't wait to see more of his piece of arts!! Just take a look for yourself!

He is an Australian/Indonesian collector and also very passionate one. You can see he focus on very limited editions and have a great taste for his bands! Fan of European Power Metal Bands, we can all agree that his choice couldn't be better.

He has been collecting for 15 years! Lets hope he will show us more of his amazing collections

Kama - Magic Kingdom - Metallic Tragedy

This is a great and amazing band. Dushan Petrossi, the main guitarrist and mastermind, is a great musician. You can tell he is heavily inspired by Malmsteen by hearing his neoclassical lines in either the guitar and the keyboards.

This is a very symphonic album and features two great vocalists, Max Leclercq (ex-Fairyland) and Oliver Hartmann (ex-At Vance, Avantasia, etc). The guitars are as expected, fast, heavy, melodic, virtuoso, etc. And the title track is like a metal opera with many different singers, although not something like Avantasia or Aina, each singer using a different vocal technic, from black to death metal, from soprano to falsetto. It's great!

Plus this is a Limb Records digipak, so you know what to expect: high quality glossy paper, amazing artwork and goodies like a poster, sticker, liner notes in the booklet (I just LOVE that!) and, of course, a bonus track and a video.

Gotta love Limb right?

Leonardo Gabriel - Xystus

Well, Xystus is a Dutch band, which features a symphonic metal of excellent quality, especially in the last album "Equilibrio", with the participation of the singer Simone Simons. I can say that a band is wronged. I say this lack of knowledge around the world. [Netherlands - 1999]

We will see a little of their work.
