This was an interesting project I stumbled upon one afternoon... Aina: Days Of Rising Doom: The Metal Opera. Yes, I said Metal Opera. Now you may be puzzled as to how that works. Well basically the entire cd (there's actually two but it's easiest described as one) is metal-y, but at the same time a little opera-y. It's hard to explain without sounding denser than I already do here...
Anyway, it was a really interesting project that I'd like to share with all of you and I will add links and stuff in a bit then delete this sentence and such so as to make the thread look better. xD
