Lindemann - Skills In Pills (SOtD MDXLVI)

Skills In Pills is the debut album of the new Industrial Metal band, Lindemann, coming from Germany.
As you might have guessed, when we mix Industrial and Lindemann in the same sentence, we are talking about Rammstein singer, Till Lindemann. In this band he got together with Peter Tägtgren (Hipocrist, Pain).
Till's lyrics are obnoxious and childish, but Tägtgren music is, as usual, top notch.
I am somewhat unsure about how to classify this. What do you think?

Lindemann - Praise Abort

Luca Turilli's Rhapsody - Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus (SOtD MDXL)

Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus is the second release from Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, since the break from the original Rhapsody Of Fire band.
Although is an interesting album, from the Italian Symphonic Power Metal band, it continues to show that this is oe of those cases where the whole was biger than the sum of the parts.
The two new Rhapsody-something bands summed, are not as good as the original Rhapsody Of Fire was.
