Conference napalm::heavy_metal

I'm back again after repeated listening of "Oliver Magnum" and I can say that
those guys are surely one of the very best new bands of 89.
The lead singer is very fine and all the rest of the band follows with a
heavier approach than Queensryche. Sometimes they use the bass and guitar (only
one) the same way as Black Sabbath. The production could have been a little
better (drums recording) but this is only their start and they seem to have
much energy.
For me, who finds the time long until the next Queensryche this is a good
medicine. I don't compare in any way QR and OM but I just say they are playing
the same "category" of heavy metal (Fates Warning also).
They surely deserve a listening.

    Glad you put this note in, Sorin. This band KICKS! Now to go back
    and listen to it another 600 times, just to get used to it! Pray
    tell, sir, what other groups would you recommend?

    I'm glad that someone else likes it. Spaceknight, don't worry you'll
    like it more and more as it will grow on you. I'm listening it
    practically every day at home or in the car. It's addictive.
    As you wanted a recommendation, personally I found Fates Warning's
    "Perfect Symmetry" and Annihilator's "Allison Hell" (take care this one
    is VERY INTENSE but also precise, good if you enjoy Metallica). Fates
    Warning is also the same style with Oliver Magnum and Queensryche.

    It's surprising that such a good band has been heard only by 2 people
    in this conference. Aren't they distributed in US (they are from US) ?
    I'll just say that Oliver Magnum plays pure metal in the best
    tradition and that stands clearly as one of my favourite bands
    (Queensryche, Metal Church, Fates Warning, Accept, Helloween,
    Annihilator, Metallica ..). I even prefer them now to Helloween and
    Fates Warning. They have a strong composing talent. Make pleasure to
    yourself (if you like the same bands) and try them.

    I've never seen an Oliver Magnum release here in Massachusetts.
    I looked for it after seeing this note, but it's nowhere to be
    found.

    Aparently the album is badly distributed, because I found it in a shop
    which is not my usual HM shop. In my usual shop (HM oriented) it is not yet
    distributed and a vendor asked me to bring it to have a listening. He
    readed also good critics about but has never seen it. I'll add tomorow
    the identification of the CD in this note.

    I saw a copy in a store recently, but at the time I was...um...just
    looking.

    Here is the reference of the CD: SPV 85-9810.
    
    Good Luck !

      I'll have to keep my eyes open!!  I wish I could hear a sample before
    I decide to go out and buy this.  Maybe I just have to go for it!! 
    (Kim whose just geeking out this afternoon) Don't mind me. -8^)

    Sure it's better to listen before. For a check, the very best tracks to
    listen are the first (Syster Cybele) and the last (Prelude to death) on
    the CD. It's sad there is the Atlantic between our offices, if not you
    could listen a sample of it (I know swimming but the ocean is just too
    big). Don't take in consideration the CD leaflet which is not the best
    ideea.

    Anybody needing info on Oliver Magnum you came to the right place.
    Got the connections on anyone needeing info Just ask.
    

    
    Ok, I'll bite....
    
    What discs are available?  I will have to order anything (if they even
    show up in the catalog)....I hear there is a place in Nashua that has
    or can get hard-to-find discs...forget the name of the place though.
    
    I have a Newbury Comics just across the border in Salem NH (I live not
    even 5 minutes away...depending on the traffic lights) and I haven't
    ordered anything in a while. Time to go and check their catalog! I have
    been trying to catch Last Crack/Magnum/Crimson Glory in there but none
    so far, I just got ahold of Paradise Lost "Draconian Times" which I
    think is excellent there a week or so ago...Sometimes I wander in there
    and I find something I was looking for, ie Magellan - Impending
    Ascension, most other times I don't....I want QR - The Warning, but I
    will probably have to order it as I haven't seen it in the store in a
    while....
