TheSwampman
Seen Sabaton, Eluveitie and Korpiklaani live, guess I liked Sabaton best. At home, I love Eluveitie's Helvetios - real emotional stuff.
ashuradx
should include Havoc or King for Eluveitie, your current selection of songs doesn't display the variety in their music too well :)
WRYYYYYYY
Yeah, i'm not too familiar with their music. It is really great though :)
ashuradx
you picked 2 of the fairly Calm songs, Havoc is one of the harsher ones while King has calm and Harsh parts

I've had a theory: in every group photo, there's always one guy in the group that just isn't buying into the hype.
bryanew710
The guy on the far left of #4 fits that.
johnnylobes
Yeah he is the one waiting for everyone to pay him back for the ren-faire tickets he had to put on his card.
