Just discovered the band Oylmpos Mons-'Medievil' released in 07'.
Great vocals, big guitars and massive epic power stuff!

muzmaze · April 9th, 2008, 10:38 PM

Well, thier web and myspace has some new stuff up. Liking it more and more with each listen!

Cheerz

BurntOfferings666 · April 10th, 2008, 10:35 AM

Hot shit, how have I missed this topic!

Right now, as I type this, I got some Iced Earth - Horror Show blasting through my place

Other bands I've been listing to a lot lately include:

Steel Attack - Carpe DiEnd
Balance of Power - Heathen Machine
Eternal Flight - Under the Sign of Will
Nocturnal Rites - The 8th Sin
Pyramaze (obviously) and
Iced Earth - I Walk Among You

and as a early christmas gift for all of you, I'll upload the two Nightmare Records sampler CD's for you to check out. There are a ton of great bands on both discs.

Dude we need to try playing again... I think I might be able to host now. I got a new ISP since I've moved. And Amon Amarth goes great with any game that doesnt suck.

muzmaze · April 12th, 2008, 09:25 PM

Liking Olympos Mons more and more with each listen. Like Mike K. says the right time change and melody is key! Olympos Mons nails it, 'Medievil' is epic as hell, nice production and heavy as hell. The best epic power band I have heard since Pyramaze.
They have a nice touch of battle / folk / metal as well.

BTW. Grabbing Ian Highhill ( Olym. Mons) as the new PYRA vocalist wouldn't be a bad thing. Though my first choice, forever would be Urban Breed, if Pyramaze ever got UB it would be a dream come true!

Olddoggie · April 13th, 2008, 06:24 AM

Autmn - Summer's End and My New Time
Dutch Gothic Metal which is not so gothic: fantastic vocals, brilliant riffing and spine shivering atmosphere...

TheAnonymous · April 13th, 2008, 09:03 AM

Mostly I listen to my "big three"

Evergrey, Pyramaze and Iced Earth.

Lately I've also been listening a lot to Amon Amarth (the first Death that I like) and Kiuas.

RedCriss · April 17th, 2008, 12:51 PM

I mostly listen to three songs at the moment:

Year Of The Phoenix
Caramon's Poem
Bear Mountain

well, and many other songs of Pyramaze!

I loaded a lot new songs on my ipod, anything I could find from bands you recommended recently. I wanted to find out which bands are worth to be checked out in more detail. The trouble is, whatever song I listen to, it is not as good as the tunes of Pyramaze... Michael's songwriting is amazing and the other guys know how to join in! All the breaks, time changes, just everything seems to fit so easily... even when my ipod (it's set on shuffle) lets me listen to a song of Iced Earth I miss the power of the music! Though Matt is my favorite vocalist of all time, I like Pyramaze with Lance on vocals a little more than Iced Earth with Matt... because the songwriting is so awesome! So for me it can't get any better than Immortal, it all seems so tight. I can't wait to hear Toke's solos and the other new songs!

Once again: Thank you Pyramaze for bringing Matt back!

BurntOfferings666 · April 20th, 2008, 10:18 AM

Listening to Nocturnal Rites last 3 albums

The 8th Sin
Grand Illusion
New World Messiah

carbon · April 20th, 2008, 01:04 PM

I've been listening to alotta nightwish lately.
I'm converting my friend from other music that must not be mentioned to metal, so I'm starting him off easy.
(Within temptation, nightwish, edenbridge; mostly alotta really melodic lighter metal bands[mostly chick vocals])

korruption · April 21st, 2008, 07:38 PM

Brainstorm - Falling Spiral Down

Fuck yes! Waiting for this CD to arrive in the mail this week.

korruption · April 21st, 2008, 07:41 PM

By the way, for those curious; don't get the new Firewind album, it's a piece of fuck.

I totally agree! Its way overproduced, over written and too mainstream pop. Its really too bad, they have so much potential, and everything they've done since Between Heaven and Hell has been musical gold.

nothing wrong with a little piece of fuck now and then

RedCriss · April 22nd, 2008, 01:28 PM

I just re-discovered Countdown to Extinction from Megadeth, great cd, though I always need some time to get used to the vocals. But songs like Sweating Bullets, Psychotron, Symphony of Destruction and This Was My Life are pretty cool.

korruption · April 23rd, 2008, 07:52 AM

I think Dave reached the peak of his singing ability on "Reckoning Day", I didn't quite like his vocals until I heard that song.

"Architecture of Aggression" is a good runner-up just cause somehow he doesn't hyperventilate when singing that chorus!

BurntOfferings666 · April 23rd, 2008, 09:01 AM

Twilight - Eye For An Eye

This was Beyond Twilight's first album from back in the 90's. Killer album that was more guitar driven than keyboards that are so prevalent in the band now. Highly recommended to check out.

The Wicked One · April 23rd, 2008, 05:05 PM

Reckoning Day is amazing

Phantom of the Opera-Iron Maiden

KupoBarlow · April 24th, 2008, 12:41 AM

Without Joking, Pyramaze samples ALL DAY LONG xD

And Iced Earth mini-samples too xD

GuitarRage99 · April 24th, 2008, 01:35 AM

I just started listening to The Absence, their new CD Riders of The Plague is fucking brutal as fuck. Good shit if you like melodic death metal.

From Firewind its depressing... They have so much potential yet they go and make a piece of fuck lol... And sing about really gay shit. "Look mom im a Mercenary man" or some weird fucking shit. I love firewind but seriously what the hell?

BurntOfferings666 · April 25th, 2008, 09:47 AM

I just got my hands on a killer album by a band called Darkwater. Calling the Earth to Witness is a awesome album with lots of power and prog elements. I'd recommend it to fans of Evergrey, Symphony X, Anubis Gate, Dream Theater, Beyond Twilight, Ascension Theory and obviously Pryamaze.

Check em out http://www.myspace.com/darkwaterofficial

carbon · April 25th, 2008, 09:19 PM

"Malmsteen is putting the finishing touches on a new studio album, tentatively due in July. Yngwie's new band includes Tim "Ripper" Owens (BEYOND FEAR, ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH) on vocals, Bjorn Englen on bass, Michael Troy on keyboards, and Patrik Johansson on drums. "

Ripper is joining forces with Yngwie??
Maybe Yngwie will put forth a good album now?
