Still Going The Metal Way! - Best Of 1998
On this page I tried to give you a personal view of this years' musical
masterpieces. Yes, I know we still have two months to go, but I thought it was time to
show you my list (25 out of many, many others) - now it's time to show me yours!!
Above all stands the unbelievable debut of Texas-based band Power Of Omens, which is
really brilliant beyond belief! But Shadow Gallery's "Tyranny" is one of the best Progressive-Albums of
all time, too! I couldn't believe that this album ever will be topped, but Power Of Omens really made
it in two weeks!
1998 - what a year for fans of sophisticated and intelligent sounds! But
the True-Metal-League also had some great efforts to listen to...
So sit back and dive into my personal Metal-Poll !
And always remember:
"Stand And Fight,
With Sword In Hand: HEAVY METAL TILL THE END!!"
