About me
Scottish metal fan since, oh, erm 2001? It all started when I got a loan of Iron Maiden's Brave New World really and went from there.
Appreciative of nearly all the subgenres to one degree or another (overly poppy gothic metal and bubblegum Gothenburg melodeath being the only ones that really grind my gears) but with melodic power and heavy metal being the favourites.
Found out about the brilliant Revelationz website after meeting several of the team at Sweden Rock 2005 (a year after a couple of my fellow festival-goers did).
I do reviews! Only melodic metal though: http://www.metalcdratings.com (as Craig B). Most of the ratings listed below will have a full review on the site. [/shameless plug]

My review:

I think Overkill's Ironbound will be the only thing keeping this from being my album of the year. Amazing stuff.

I'm not even going to point out the similarities in our reviews this time - it's just so bleedin' obvious what's wrong with this band, God love 'em.

 Savatage has in many ways pushed the boundaries of how Heavy Metal can sound like.
