Hello folks:

Suraj Mani now has a blog

Ladies and Gentleman, Suraj Mani - the vocalist and also the song-writer of Motherjane now has a blog - The Singing Sensei. His latest series of posts have been the lyrics of Insane Biography. And he asks for your opinion! How cool is that!

Thanks to Rahul Gandhi for the tip (via Orkut).

Millenium is Reuniting

Yup! You read right! You can also try pinching yourself on your arm and read this again if you like! MILLENIUM is REUNITING! Gigpad reports that Millenium will be reuniting for a short set at the M.O.S (The Pyramid), Delhi on Feb 1st, 2008. According to the reports, the lineup for the reunion consists of:

VEHRNON - Vocals
ALWYN - Lead Guitar
SHARMON - Rhythm Guitar
PRAFUL - Bass Guitar
ROBERTO - Drums

But that is not all! The month after that they will be playing at the Rock in India festival (that continues to impress rock fans with it's ever increasing list of bands signing up to play at the festival). There is also a facebook page for the reunion event (registration required).

For those readers who haven't heard about Millenium, read about them on the following RSJ forum thread. The thread contains an amazing amount of information about the history (including photos) of the band. The first post on that thread also contains a link to download four unreleased studio tracks of the band. Check them out!

Update: Millenium now has a page on MySpace. The page has three Millenium tracks that you can listen to. Make sure you listen to the Metal Army track on that page. You are going to hear plenty of chants of 'Metal Army' during the forthcoming Millenium concerts!

Happy New Year!! To the Hoyt street family...some new stuff for Y'all to check out..

A very Happy '08 my friends...
Cutting to the chase....we all know and have heard the great Russell Allen from Sym X...but I don't know how many of you out there have heard of this awesome vocalist Jorn Lande...a very Allenesque voice..soaring vocals ..great voice...check him out...I've gone out and bought albums of bands that he has sung for ..and I think he's pretty darn good...one tip ..be sure to check out the band before you go out and buy their albums with Jorn on it..some might not like the overall sound/music of the band..A few suggestions for bands are:
- Beyond Twilight
- Mundanus Imperium
- MasterPLan
- ARK
Besides these some new Prog Metal/Rock I've been listening to (not necessarily great..but something different...eh..we've been doing DT for a while so why not..)
- Redemption (saw them live,they opened 4 DT..pretty good)
- EverGrey
- ARK
- Riverside
- Amaran's Plight
- The Flower Kings
- U.K ( Finally got hold of this super band on itunes of all the places..one of Mike Romeo's favs...)
