Last December - Iced Earth.

Now this is a band I've always had a curiosity for. Almost every time I step in a music store I'd see their cds but I'd never listen or buy. But then quite recently I got tired of being in the dark abotu these guys so I took a listen. And now I wish i ahd a long time ago. One of the best metal bands I've heard, EVER. Think of them as a cleaner version of "Ride the Lightning-Era" Metallica.

Good stuff....mmm.

EDIT: And yeah I'm trying to expand my musical tastes.
