RevelationZ Site News - RevelationZ Closing Down
Saturday, August 20, 2011
Hi LDB,
As I wrote above, if the hosting fee is met "the site will stay online in its current state and work as an archive. There will be no new articles, but at least our work will still be available."
All my reviewers would like to stay on, but I am closing the site. The only question is if it stays online in its current state or disappears completely.

Love that song.

Jon Oliva's Pain Release Statement On Guitarists Death
Friday, April 22, 2011
He was a fantastic guitarist. I saw him live several times and he always nailed Criss Oliva's solos. That's the biggest compliment I could ever give.

Monday, April 18, 2011
Very weird indeed. The name change never did make any sense though.

Matt Barlow Departs From Iced Earth
Sunday, March 6, 2011
You're right! Just checked the official site where it says:
"In his heartfelt statement, Barlow cites his commitment to his family and the need for Iced Earth to tour more as the reasons for his retirement; however, he has committed to perform with Iced Earth on all 2011 European festival dates, which will be his last with the band."
Matt Barlow Departs From Iced Earth
Friday, March 4, 2011
The decision is understandable but damn, I was looking forward to hearing Matt back in Iced Earth at this years Sweden Rock. It will be most interesting to see who will pick up the torch. Now I can't help but wonder what the situation would have been in an alternate universe where Matt had stayed with Pyramaze.
Redemption - News Update
Monday, February 14, 2011
Just my thoughts. To say my expectations are high must be the understatement of the year. If I ever do an update of my All time favorite songs article then Black and White World will be somewhere in the top three. Every listen leaves me with that "Wow..."-feeling.
Pyramaze Part Ways With Guitarist And Bassist
Friday, February 11, 2011
Damn, I will mourn this for a while. Michael and Pyramaze created something very special with their first trilogy of albums. It will be intersting to see how the rest will carry on. I wish for the best.

New Rhapsody Album in 2011
Monday, December 6, 2010
"it will be the last one based in the fantasy saga started in 1997 with the debut album "Legendary Tales". ".... Yes, finally! Seriously, I can't wait for this one.

Good beginning to SR2011! Seeing as I've never catched Ozzy live.
Manowar re-recording Battle Hymns
Friday, October 15, 2010
I have a feeling that the new Manowar album will be released to coincide with the Thor movie currently in production. May 2011... Mark my words...
New Helloween Video Released
Wednesday, October 13, 2010
Got it! At least it's metal...

Hhmmm, now it's gone...
Manowar re-recording Battle Hymns
Thursday, October 7, 2010

Mike Portnoy Leaves Dream Theater
Thursday, September 9, 2010
Damn! This is sad and unexpected and it can't have been an easy decision in any way. Best wishes to Mike for the future. He's done a hell of a job in Dream Theater.
Rhapsody Of Fire To Release 35-minutes symphony
Friday, July 30, 2010
I was excited until I read the part about English actors, narration and spoken parts. Now I'm a bit worried. Hopeful but worried.
Sabaton - In The Studio
Friday, July 23, 2010
I kind of hope it's not!

Tuesday, July 6, 2010
Ahh great news. This one is highly anticipated.
Crimson Glory Unhappy With Box Set Plans
Wednesday, June 30, 2010
I remember reading something similar about Metal Mind Records before. Another band, same story.
I bought the Transcendence remaster when Metal Mind released it a couple of years ago. I was disappointed that the sound was pretty much exactly the same as the original. It felt like a cheap cash-in.
Scott Columbus Confirms He Is No Longer In Manowar
Tuesday, June 1, 2010
Interesting!
Virgin Steele Signs With SPV/Steamhammer
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
By the Gods, this is great news! Can't wait to hear the new album!
Sanctuary To Reform
Thursday, May 13, 2010
Very interesting! I can't wait to hear the new Nevermore album, and now this! Excellent news.
Rhapsody Of FIre - Sea Of Fate Video Online
Wednesday, May 5, 2010
A respectable Rhapsody video for once, only on a couple of occasions was it slightly silly. I like this attitude. Let the music do the talking! They're back! Woo! (Sorry, can't control myself)
Stratovarius Reissue Polaris With Live CD
Saturday, May 1, 2010

Wednesday, April 21, 2010
Christ! All the bands I want to see are playing at the same time.
Nazareth / Treat
Sabaton / Pendragon
Danzig / Jorn / Quireboys Acoustic
Grave Digger / Bigelf
Guns n Roses / Stratovarius
Fates Warning / Skyclad
Grrrrrrrr.... Some hard choices to be made...
Treat - Sabaton - Quireboys - Grave Digger - Guns - Fates.... I guess.
Redemption - European Tour Cancellation
Friday, April 9, 2010
Damn! I was really looking forward to this.

Manowar - Hell On Earth V Trailer
Saturday, December 5, 2009
I can't wait to see this. I remember singing Battle Hymn to the camera before the show in Germany 2007 so hopefully some of that is in there somewhere... or maybe not... Anyway, I'll be buying it soon.
Rhapsody Are Back!
Thursday, November 19, 2009
Best news of the year. Finally they are back.
RevelationZ Magazine - Website problems
Friday, September 18, 2009
The one I fondly refer to as Arthur. It's just an ordinary garden shed. Not important really.
Manowar - Hell on Earth V DVD information
Thursday, September 3, 2009
Finally! I have been waiting for this since the Demons, Dragons and Warriors German tour of 2007.
Forbidden - New song online
Thursday, August 27, 2009
Yeah! Awesome song. Highly promising indeed.
Shadow Gallery working on new album
Monday, July 27, 2009
My guess is that someone in the band is doing the vocals. Carl Cadden-James maybe?
I do know that DC Cooper will be singing on one song on the new album.
Jorn Lande is back in Masterplan
Saturday, July 25, 2009
...And there was much rejoicing and drinking of free beer.
Redemption - New Album Teaser
Thursday, July 2, 2009

Wednesday, May 6, 2009
First impression is very good. Can't wait for this album to arrive.
Masterplan update from the band
Saturday, April 25, 2009
I feel it too. A strong thirst is coming...
Manowar - The Asgard Saga
Saturday, April 25, 2009
This whole thing sounds very ambitious and fraught with pitfalls but I believe Manowar can pull it off. Hopefully they will skip the narration this time around and let the music be the sole conveyor of mighty Nordic thunder god mythology. Here's to the hope that this continues where Sign of the Hammer left off.
To/Die/For Call It Quits
Friday, April 17, 2009
Yes, what a shame. They were a great band.

ANVIL! The Story Of Anvil - DVD Version To Be Released In The UK In June
Friday, March 6, 2009
Cool, that must have been awesome. I am really looking forward to seeing it.
Magic Circle Festival 2009 details
Wednesday, March 4, 2009
Yeah, it seems they are cutting down instead of expanding which is disappointing. Hopefully more details will be released soon and hopefully in as entertaining a way as this press release. But what's up with the reserved SEAT!! for the ultimate fan pack? Erm...
The whole idea of the "ultimate fan package" seems questionable.
New Avantasia album before the end of the year
Monday, February 16, 2009
I'm hoping for a huge U-turn musically as well as the return of David Defeis. Now that would peak my interest.
New Hammerfall video
Monday, January 19, 2009
First impression: Disappointed. Some good elements but way overproduced and lacking in power.
Mike Di Meo out of Masterplan
Thursday, January 15, 2009
I hope you're right but I'm willing to stake a beer of choice at this years Sweden Rock Festival if your prophecy comes true. Something like that would demand a celebration.
Mike Di Meo out of Masterplan
Wednesday, January 14, 2009
Are you willing to bet on that?
New feature on the site
Friday, January 9, 2009
LDB: Excellent, good to hear.
Craig: Yeah, I understand how that might be the best way of doing it. But you're welcome to post a review along with a link to the original as well if you want.
By the way, I'll be adding the option to post a review to empty ratings soon, so it will be possible to add the rating and then go back and attach a review/comment to it at a later time.
Various search options and statistics will also be coming when more ratings have been added.
New Metallica video
Thursday, December 11, 2008

First bands announced for Sweden Rock Festival 2009
Monday, November 24, 2008
I hope you will be able to make it! With 10 bands out of the first 22 I have to see it can only turn out great.
Grave Digger - 'Ballad Of A Hangman' Video Online
Saturday, November 22, 2008
I was one big smile through the song until it came to the weak chorus. Seems too easy to me. The song shows potential and I hope they regain their old strength on the album. Knights of the Cross and Tunes of War are my faves as well. Classics.
Shadow Gallery vocalist passes away
Saturday, November 1, 2008
This is so sad to hear. Mike Baker was one of my favorite singers. He will be missed.
Stratovarius returns in 2009 - New album and live shows
Saturday, October 25, 2008
One thing is for sure, it will be hard to come up with any more surprises from the Stratovarius camp... Weird to have a Stratovarius without Tolkki but I'll wait and see what they come up with.
Magic Circle Festival Vol. 2 Limited 2-Disc Steelbook Edition now for sale
Monday, October 13, 2008
What's up with the price on that "even more limited edition"? $110 extra for an autograph and a serial number!!? WTF!
Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy Release Date Confirmed
Thursday, October 9, 2008
No news about a European release date.....yet.
Cage - New Demo track online
Sunday, October 5, 2008
Can't wait for this one to be finished. It sounds like Cage are still at the top of their game. High potential in this demo.
Sieges Even split up
Thursday, October 2, 2008
Damn! I loved that band.
News from Ex-Crimson Glory singer Midnight
Tuesday, September 30, 2008
Ouch! Midnights voice has really deteriorated. Lost Reflection should never be re-recorded and definitely not like this. Painted skies with Jon Oliva on vocals is another matter, a nice surprise!
Cage Podcast online
Monday, September 22, 2008
Excellent idea with the podcast. This is one album I am awaiting most unpatiently. If you haven't heard Cage then go out and buy Hell Destroyer right away. Best album of 2007. Pure Metal.
Edguy - New album cover art revealed
Wednesday, September 17, 2008
After the latest Avantasia album I expect some hard evidence to support that last statement.
Magic Circle Festival 2008 Vol. II DVD
Sunday, September 7, 2008
I had been hoping to be able to relive at least one of the Manowar concerts in their full length on DVD but it doesn't look like that will happen. Ahh, but I can always close my eyes...
Album and DVD news from Redemption
Thursday, August 28, 2008
Ahh, can't wait...
I really can't say enough good things about this band.
New Falconer video
Thursday, August 14, 2008
Nope, haven't heard Man of the hour yet. I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of the promo.
New Falconer video
Thursday, August 14, 2008
Funny! I got home from work and the promo was in my mailbox. First listen is about to commence.

Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Ahh! This sounds very promising!
Message from Rhapsody
Thursday, June 12, 2008
They already have.... Legendary Tales! Heh, no... It might be titled "Joey - Agony and Ecstasy in eight parts", narrated by Tim The Enchanter.....
But seriously, what a shame. When I interviewed Luca back in 2007 he had several things planned and none of this has happened yet.
Message from Rhapsody
Thursday, June 12, 2008
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the band comes out unscathed and more powerful than ever. I crave many more Rhapsody albums.
Message from Rhapsody
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
I had a feeling that something was wrong but this sounds really sad. Hopefully it will be sorted out soon.
Former Stratovarius Members: Timo Tolkki's Main Motivation Was Greed
Thursday, May 8, 2008

Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Yeah it looks to be the event of the year. Don't worry, I will be there singing along to both bands so you don't fall asleep!
Stormwarrior replace Sir Lord Baltimore at Sweden Rock
Friday, April 4, 2008
Excellent replacement! Stormwarrior with Kai Hansen were great at Wacken last year.
Lost Horizon to record new material
Monday, January 7, 2008
Yes, very exciting news. I have high hopes that they can find a vocalist in the same league as Daniel (or that he reconsiders and returns to the fold) and they create another masterpiece. A Flame To The Ground Beneath is among my all time favorite albums. Listening to it right now in fact...
New Avantasia video online
Sunday, December 30, 2007
Good to hear there's some quality stuff on them. I ordered the two EP's yesterday, so it will be interesting to hear all the songs.
New Avantasia video online
Saturday, December 22, 2007
This song along with Lost in space has lowered my expectations for the fortcoming album quite alot. These two songs are generic and disappointing when thinking about the Avantasia legacy.
Matt Barlow is back with Iced Earth!
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
Very interesting news! Too bad for The Ripper, he did an awesome job. A concept album in two parts with two different singers will be somewhat weird but I am more than happy to have Matthew Barlow back in Iced Earth.
