I'll have to check that out. I really like that vid they
did about "you do it toyourself" where the guy jjust lies
down ona sidewalk and everybody freaks out about it. I
thought that was ok.
ObProg: I recently purchased Golgotha _Symphony in
Extremis_. The GEPR describes this as excellent heavy
keyboard-laden symphonic progmetal, and I'd have to
agree. It's what The Enid would sound like if The Enid
took some testosterone shots and got real aggressive. The
vocals remind me of the better parts of Uriah Heep or
Arthur Brown, but the instrumental parts are very symph,
highly dynamic. It's all done by one guy, Karl Foster,
yet it manages to avoid midi-itis, quite remarkably so,
really, considering I'm highly sensitivein that regard..
The lyrics are unimpressive, but neither are they
offensive weak. There's another Golgotha album out called
_Unmaker of Worlds_ and I'll probably pick it up if it
crosses my path.
Cheers,
Kenneth
