Pantera - Cowboys From Hell

Is the fifth album by American heavy metal band Pantera, and their first Atco Records album, recorded at Pantego Sound Studio in Pantego, TX and released on July 24, 1990. This was their first commercially successful album, exposing the band's groove metal style to mainstream audiences. Cowboys from Hell is seen as Pantera's "official" debut by most fans, as well as the band itself as they left behind their glam metalpast and began to focus on groove metal. After its release, a logo for the band was made featuring the letters 'CFH' (the abbreviation of the album title) in a circular design.

Transatlantic - The Whirld Tour 2010

Whirld Tour 2010: Live in London is the third live album by the progressive rock supergroup Transatlantic. Released in 2010, it documents the May 21, 2010 show by the band at Sheperd's Bush Empire, England. The show was also filmed and released on a 2-DVD set with additional performances (including a cover of the Genesis song "The Return of the giant Hogweed" with Steve Hackett) and documentary footage. This was the second-to-last show of the "Whirld Tour" (not counting their appearance at The High Voltage Festival) in support of the band's third studio album, The Whirldwind
Daniel Glindelöw of Pain of Salvation returns this tour, playing additional keyboards, guitars, percussion, and vocals throughout the show.
Like their previous live albums, this set features 6 songs, however because of the amount of material the band had thus far, no cover songs are featured (although bits of covers are scattered throughout the show, including Deep Purple's Highway Star, Santana's Soul Sacrfice, and even the McDonal's theme).
This Album shows a Terrific performance by this supergroup. They play really long songs for example "The Whirldwind" is a 79-minutes Master Piece!
I recomend this album for Progressive-Rock fans.

Bruce Dickinson - Accident Of Birth

In this album Bruce has the colaboration of another Iron Maiden's member Adrian Smith. The cover art was done by Derek Riggs, best known for being the creator of Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie and the artwork on all Iron Maiden albums.

Avantasia - 'The Wicked Trilogy'

The Wicked Trilogy is a three album story about The Scarecrow. The story started with their 2008 album, The Scarecrow, and is concluded by The Wicked Symphony and Angel of Babylon.
Plot:

The story behind the Scarecrow albums is largely open to interpretation. Sammet has stated "I don't wanna ruin the myth. It's not possible to tell the story like a fairytale. I can't go "once upon a time" because it's not as simple as that. You don't have to understand the story, you have to feel it."

"The Scarecrow is a tragic story of a lonesome creature, emotionally isolated from his environment and suffering from a distorted sensory perception. His feelings for the love of his life unrequited, he sets off on a journey exploring the left-hand path, striving for inner peace, sloughing his way to approval and eventually facing temptation at the inner depths of the human soul..." Tobias Sammet.

RUSH - All The World's Stage

All The World's Stage, is a live album by the Canadian progressive rock band RUSH. It was recorded at Massey Hall in Toronto on June 11 through 13 during their 2112 tour.

The Album presents a super perfomance from all of the members, it also contains a drum solo from part of the profesor Neil Pert.

A Dramatic Turn of Events

A dramatic Turn of Events is the last album of the Amercian Progressive Metal Band Dream Theater. This album shows the nevel of this musicians wich is unbelievable. However, this is the debut of Mike Mangini as the new drummer of the band. The Whole album follows the same style as their 2009 album "Black Clouds & Silver Linings". The opening track "On the backs of Angels" was nominated for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards, But they lost against Foo Figthers.
I Recommend this Album for those fans of Progressive music.
