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!  |

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! |
