I am surprised, too. :-)

If anyone is tired of compiler coding then the alternative this week is the Wacken festival starting tomorrow: http://concert.arte.tv/de/wacken#xtor=SEC-107

yeah, found 'em not a long time ago, almost accidentally. great band too.

still, i'm more technical death/power metal guy. that is, i think that Helloween opened and immediately closed power metal genre with their KotSK albums, but i'm still trying to find something there. or, maybe, just checking if KotSK is still "closing masterpiece", and yep, it is. ;-)

Ha! Korpiklaani. Maybe you will like Alestorm too (Scottish party metal). As for power metal you guys might check out Amorphis from Finland (if you don't know them already). A nice rock band is Pain of Salvation (e.g. the Road Salt One album, or the song 1979).

Xerosun are based in Dublin, they existed for a while but with the new singer they're really taking off.

The Keeper is ingenious. :-)
What about Grave Digger (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-x_uBB-KIE),
Rebellion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIqpGA1PDTw&list=PL1CB505201A6DCB79) or Majesty (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CPwz4E7d8I)

I'm also a fan of Apocalyptica (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-YzdvmD2aQ or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH4QIQPs1qs)

:-)

The next LDC release will be serious delayed because I have to hear a lot of new music ;-)

for the curious: it was "piece of cake", not what you expected from me.

Nice list. I'd add

Protest the Hero (favorite song from them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3T-wusBodE)
The Fall of Troy (favorite song from them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxumcOJwvmo)

Protest the Hero is great; I was really into them in high school. Kezia is my favourite album of theirs.

Another great band is Dance Gavin Dance. They're one of those bands that has never produced a bad album (although some dispute that due to a change in lead vocalists for their latest two albums).

There are a lot metal fans in here. :)

When I code, I listen most of time psychedelic 70's stuff:
- Pink Floyd
- Led Zeppelin
- Lynyrd Skynyrd
- Queen
- ACDC
- Black Sabbath
- Rammstein
- Robert Wyatt
- Renaud

Most of the time, I prefer early stuff... When band members don't die chocking in their own vomit or in an airplane crash, they tend to release uninspired music as they grow older.

So more early stuff (radio Moscow):
