Definately Ecliptica! I also personally quite like Reckoning Night - maybe not the album as a whole but it's got some of my individual favourite tracks.

Shame they'll be playing Unia, and associated songs, not stuff like Wolf and Raven, San Sebastien, Kingdom for a heart, and other greats.
I'm pretty sure they'll play Kingdom for a Heart and some of their classics.
On power metal - anyone heard of/listened to Galneryus? Recent discovery for me - some of the best power metal I've heard in a long time.
I hope you know that's an Iron Maiden song (which is much better :P).
Sonata Arctica are brilliant up to and including Reckoning Night for me. I was disappointed by the new sound for Unia, which, to be honest, bored me. There are some good songs on Winterheart's Guild, but the favourites for me have to be Ecliptica and Silence.
I was just thinking about Alestrom today actually, cause my flatmate really wants to be a pirate. They're supporting Turisas in Aberdeen so I might get him a ticket.
I really want see Sonata Arctica! Depends on how the £££ situation is over the next few weeks though... I'd quite have liked to have seen them with Jani though! Not that the new guy is bad...but Jani was just cool! Seeing Megadeth that week though which ought to be awesome!
My gig list at the moment is Megadeth, Children of Bodom and Opeth/Arch Enemy =)
Damn it's only £16, just don't buy unecessary stuff for a bit.

Nice one. I missed Turisas last time they played Glasgow because I didnt have any money. Same with Korpiklaani
Alestorm are quality though. They sound like a Scottish version of Elvenking mixed with Korpiklaani lol.
Alestorm are quality. I heard them when they were called Battleheart. They did really well to get signed to Napalm. They are very influenced by Korpiklaani, and one of their demos has a cover of Journey Man
