 Topic: Hails fae Scotland!Posted: March 02 2012 at 03:06 |

Hi I am Olivier, I sing for Scottish Prog Metal band Abandoned Stars.
I enjoy discovering new bands but also older bands. I started appreciating prog through prog and power Metal really (Kamelot,Stratovarius,Rhapsody,DT,Pagan's Mind, Time Requiem, SymphonyX) but then I discovered that the guys I was listening to were influenced by the mighty Rush/Yes/Genesis/Deep Purple etc.......so I started getting into that. I am enjoying what some people call 'neo prog' as well with bands like Frost* , Karnivool, Pain of Salvation etc.... I have recently discovered the 'Djent' movement and went to see Periphery and Tesseract....some good stuff in there too!! On a personal note what can I say..........I am French and I have been living in Scotland for 8 years...I am losing my tan a little more each day :-) But the Scots are just amazing.....they are like the mediterranean of the North, always up for a laugh! Looking forward to meeting new people here and discover new sound from everywhere!  |

Hey Olivier, would you please introduce your project in more detail?
Website MySpace Cheers! Anyway, I love Talisker old bottle ... smokey, spicy, ground-smelled ... very great one. Oh, Glenfarclas is good too. EDIT: Oh very sorry you've been added in our library already. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7154 Edited by DamoXt7942 - March 02 2012 at 03:57 |

I will return when a fish supper costs less than $15 (Australian) and /or Alex Salmond joins a political party worthy of his talents

You could get the new Easter delicacy for that price: Deep Fried Creme Egg !!!! (it deserves Capital Letters)
Tempted? For Salmond, I see what you mean....He has the charisma and eloquence to do great things but as a French guy I find it hard to comment on this issue....it is really divided but it looks like we are definitely getting a referendum for an Independent Scotland! |

Welcome to the site!
And...........Alex Salmond is just about the most consummate politician in the UK. If only my lot, Plaid Cymru, had a Welsh version.
