Sharing this info from David Gallegos sent to the Power of Omens mailing
list, for people who are interested..sorry to bother those of you who don't
give a damn LOL :)
As many of you already know by now, a few weeks ago, we all (including
myself) found out that our new CD, "Rooms of Anguish" was going to be
delayed until October...After getting in touch with the label, I come to
find out that the news was true, and unfortunately there was nothing we
could do. This is due to the fact that the recording industry in Europe
shuts down for the months of July and August (certain countries vary as to
which month they are closed).
Anyway...I regret to announce that the release of "Rooms of Anguish" is now
"Officially" scheduled for October 28th.
HOWEVER
I am currently trying to get the label to push it up earlier in the
month...and because of the extreme delay in the release, the label has
agreed to allow us to begin sharing some of the music with everyone who is
as anxious as I am for this release.
This is what Elevate has agreed upon:
Starting in August, we will be allowed to upload one new song every two
weeks to our MP3 website, until the release in October: (roughly 1/2 of the
CD)
( http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/266/power_of_omens.html )
This link is also found on our website as well.
We have also been given the green light to allow interested DJ's to play
"pre-selected new material" on their internet shows.
Interested DJ's can e-mail the band for info on how to obtain a copy of the
promo/demo...please e-mail all inquiries to this address:
At the moment, Jax is currently working on a whole new website which will
include artwork from the new CD, as well as a completely new look.
I know that the delay in this release is something no one wanted, but at
least for now, we were able to find some way around the wait to start
sharing the new music with you.
THANKS TO ALL who have been so patient and so supportive...you are the very
reason we put every bit of heart and soul into what we do.
Keep on Progressing!!!!
Dave &
Power of Omens

Hello,
I've been off the jam for about 3 years or so, and just re-subscribed.
I was wondering what any of you would recommend for new CDs that have come
out in the last year or two. My tastes are like Symphony X, Strato,
Pantera, Awake-era Dream Theater, Metallica, etc. Any info is appreciated.
It's weird being back on the jam after being off for so long, it's not
even half the volume it used to be. I remember back when I first subscribed
getting over 100 posts a day in ack mode.
Well, if any remember me and care what I'm up to now, check out my music
at http://www.castofshadows.com I hope you like what you hear, I hope to
have my album released within the year.
Take care and thanks for any info,
~Vince

Hey Rob,
What is that Shaman like? How similar to Angra is is?
Thanks,
Bill

Wow, I never thought I'd be the only one to post so far that I love both
discs, but for different reasons. I love the experimentation of disc 1 and
the sheer awesomeness of disc 2.

Regarding 6DOIT's CD2... Although it's still miles better than
anything off of WDADU or FII, as soon as I heard the lyrics talking
about another girl living on another house on another hill who's
mentally unstable and has a loving father that just doesn't know what
to do, I vomited in my own mouth. Is Petrucci the one who's writing
these ridiculous lyrics? If so, would someone please slap the pen out
of this man's hand and tell him to just shut up and play?
On other notes...
Can I people specify in more detail why they're really liking
Satriani's new CD, "Strange, Beautiful Music"? I really thought he
hasn't written anything original in a decade and would love to hear
that he's doing something different. Maybe he's been taking lessons
from his student, Mr. Vai.
GOD I hope the new Symphony X is something different. They have SOOO
fallen into a comfortable groove right now and it's getting tiresome.
Please guys, something different this time? Ditto with Nightwish - is
the new one different at all?
Also, can someone give specifics about the new Dark Tranquillity? I'm
very interested in hearing what it's all about!
Anything that Devin Townsend touches turns to gold, in my humble
opinion. Terria and Soilwork's NBC are just two examples. Devin will
change music as we know it. Just you wait and see.
My faves so far this year (in no particular order)
Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos
Arjen Lucassen - Space One
DT - 6DOIT
I saw someone mentioned a new Opeth album for this year. If it's true,
could you direct us to a link that gives the details, please? All I
see is an old message (1/01) from Mikael describing a 2CD that should
be released in late 2002. Any updates?
An unmentioned, yet HUGELY anticipated album for next month:
MESHUGGAH - Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(After the album is released, the government will be forced to send out
body-carts to neighborhoods across the country. "Bring out your dead!"
will be heard each and every morning as the death-toll increases.
Funny how the dead all have BIG smiles on their faces...)

I'll correct myself before someone else does.
John Myung wrote all of 6DOIT'S CD2.
Get a rope.

I can't imagine the choreography needed to form a respectable and rhythmic dance to
music shifting in time signatures from 7/8 to 3/4 through 5/4 and back into 11/8. It
would be prodigiously intricate, and furiously entertaining at the same time, not to
mention worthy of surpassing the infamy of the Lambada (The Lambada? Thats the
Forbidden Dance=!).
And yes one guy dancing in a crowd of 1800 is weird. But self-expression is the muse
right? And props to the guy for doing it (you wouldn't catch me 'bustin' a move' to
the likes of Yes, Fates Warning or Enchant, though. I'll stick to James Brown and
Jamiroquoi!).
But it does bring up some interesting conversations. I'm still thinking a prototype
merging of space-funk and ambient progressive metal would be an insanely
groovaliciously spectacular funkadelic contribution to the annals of theatrical
musical dance arts....
Just my .02".
