As always, Opeth delivers a beautiful, progressive masterpiece. With the recent departure of two members of the band, I was curious as to how this album would turn out. And as always Mikael never ceases to write anything short of amazing. Quite different in parts compared to previous albums. Could be that Im a big fan, but, I give this album
Well, How to start. Disturbeds newest assault Indestructible is a take back to the electronic elements of The Sickness and continues the hard-hitting riffs of Ten Thousand Fists & Believe and also bring in much darker tones and feels on tracks such as Haunted & The Curse. David brings in melodic voice lines with less Wa ka ka kas and ah ah ah ahs and continues to write (imo better) darkly poetic lyrics. The First single off the album Inside The Fire has two music videos. A Performance video and one with a storyboard following the lyrics (with some of the same performance footage). Overall a solid album. I'd give it
Also picked up several soundtracks today.
Pan's Labyrinth --- Score by Javier Navarrete The Happening --- Score by James Newton Howard Mirrormask --- Score by Iain Ballamy
All smashing soundtracks. My personal favorite out of the bunch is The Happening. And with that, I shall stop writing aimlessly. Have a good one!

Nothing worth saying, just wanted to get rid of that entree about the mudkips.. heh I'll hopefully have some new photos coming, hopefully..
Things have kind of been up in the air for the longest while. On a good note, I invested in a new PRS Se custom recently. Plays beautifully. Other than that... nothing more than pondering everything that's been going on in the past weeks. [months?] Just a lot.
Anyway, I'll try to get something new up soon and, hopefully it won't be a piece of crap. Hope you're all doing well..

Random funny qoute from the news' comments:
1:"I thought some freak had hacked my account" 2:"That was my first thought too. I feel sorry for the guys that run the help section. They are going to have no rest today."

First off, hope you all had a good Easter. Secondly, Im not sure what to write out here. Its just that my last journal entree is far too old. lol
Quite a few good shows coming up in the next few months Ill be at and attempting to photograph (Apocalyptica, Dream Theater, Opeth, Birthday Massacre, Demon Hunter, Tom Petty, et cetera) and, on that note, Have been working on a completely crazy amount of photography jobs, just finished the third one, three more to go. Fun, fun and more fun yay. On a completely different note, Go watch Avenged Sevenfolds new video for Afterlife: [link]

G'day.
Just a quick update here. Haven't uploaded anything in awhile and decided to put something up today. Experimenting with some new textures I made. Would love to get some opinions.
In other brief non-interesting news. Saw Cirque Du Soleil "Saltimbanco" recently. (I believe a week ago?) And of course, it was amazing. If any of you have the chance to see it, by all means, Do so. Beautiful as always.
