Tesla released their 8th full studio release this week, entitled Forever More.  If you’ve never heard of Tesla, you honestly have been missing out on life!  Tesla is one of those bands that really gets it; they love the music that they play and from what I hear about people who know them, they are still down to earth guys.  (They are from Sacramento, CA which is 2 hours from where I live, so yeah, with that whole 6 degrees of separation thing, I know people that know ‘em!)

Forever More is a great album.  The songs are all solid and the album is very well produced.  Unfortunately, the entire album didn’t automatically grab me the way their earlier releases did.  After a few more listens, I’m sure I’ll love it as much as I love Tesla’s back catalog.

Below is Tesla’s latest video for the song I Wanna Live.

Just for fun, I thought I’d post some videos of Tesla’s days of glory.

It was a dark and stormy night….

Nah, not really but I’ve always wanted to start a blog like that.  Actually, it was a bright and sunny day as I read through my various music blogs.  I ran across this:

It was a review from Metal Reviews, a metal review site that I happen to agree with quite a bit.  So when I saw that it was given a 97 out of 100, I new I had to check it out. (click on the link above to read the great review)  Of course I love the music, even though I don’t understand what they are singing about.

I honestly didn’t read the review very carefully, so I had no idea they were a Hispanic metal band that sung in Spanish.  I have a friend that loves the kind of operatic symphonic metal that Dragonfly plays, so I sent him the information.  He in return sends me a video from a band called Adgar.  They are from Spain and can really tear it up!  Imagine Judas Priest singing in Spanish!  Below is the video:

I’m just bummed that I can’t find Adgar’s new album, Tiempos de Cambio, anywhere!

So, if you’re in the mood for some great heavy metal in a language you might not understand, check out Dragonfly and Adgar!
