While you asked Staybrite, I will chime in. The DOD album is great. Martin assembled a great team to do this record. Grimmark is always steller on guitar, and Rock still has the pipes!
It's really cool, feels much more like a Rob Rock solo album than just about any other projects Rob has done (at least IMO).

Oh man, I think the new Theocracy is great! I was just cranking it this morning.

I'm just not much of a fan of the Euro-style power metal (I like the US kind quite a bit more). I really dug that first Theocracy album (despite it's minor flaws), but I've liked the subsequent albums less and less. To the point where I hardly even listen to Ghost Ship anymore. So I figured I'd better give the new one a try before I plopped down any cash for it, and I just can't get into most of it. Very well done music, lyrics and vocals, but I'm not a huge fan of the newer guitar style and the songs blend together too much to keep me interested.

Right on! I've only had enough time to listen to the first few tracks from it as of yet, but so far I'm pleasantly surprised. After reading some mixed opinions about it, I admittedly set my expectations fairly low. But I'm looking forward to listening to the whole thing and expect to quite enjoy it.
EDIT: you're totally right about Rob Rock too. It's been quite a while since the last album he sang on was released - but he sounds as great as ever!

I got a big package yesterday from Finland - full of awesome Christian Finnish tunes! (Thank you Jusma from CMR!)
-All 4x The Rain -4x VIP -1x Norman -1x Oratorio -1x Hallowed -8x Mustarastas*
*Mustarastas is a very nice folk band - not metal, but something great for when I want to mix things up some. Check 'em out!

Thanks! I'm very grateful to Jusma for offering to gather up a bunch of Finnish music for me! Some of these he gave me from his personal collection.
I haven't listened to them all yet, but so far The Rain is the clear winner for me. If you don't mind lyrics in Finnish, I highly recommend them. They play very melodic metal/rock with a slight modern edge.

In all seriousness, thank you for the support!
