I need someone to recommend me some more bands in the vein of Serenity, Pyramaze and Kamelot. I have craving some epic progpower.

Slumber, the doom band? I think that's the only doom I've ever liked

As for recommendations...Angra, Avantasia, Dark Moor, Heavenly...but these are probably known to you already

Indeed I am VERY picky about my doom, but Slumber, Rapture, and Daylight Dies are all unbelievably good bands. Rapture and Slumber are both the two best doom bands in my mind though

Hope they will find a label soon!

Sunstorm (ft. Joe Lynn Turner) - Tears on the Pages

I'm in AOR mode right now. Great stuff.

korruption · June 27th, 2009, 03:48 PM

And today it's still Sunstorm, and the song is "The Spirit Inside"

All I can say is HOLY FUCK!!!... and repeat it 5,000,000,000 times. A simple but mindblowingly awesome song that only Joe Lynn Turner can turn into ear candy! I live for music like this! *wipes tear*

My apologies, songs like this are just what I was born to hear (in the AOR genre at least).

TYR-The Edge. From CD Eric The Red. Probably my favorite song ever!

You Tube

Pagans Mind-Osiris' Triumphant Return. From CD Gods Equation. This band and the song alike is from a different dimension...ridiculously good!

You Tube

PYRAMAZE-Caramon's Poem. Of course, pure genious here! Did I actually cut and paste this track...like we all don't already know this greatness! This, for those in the new.

Nice choices there, Muz!

The music is really good, but I can't stand the vocals I'm afraid. Reminds me a little on Blind Guardian, but - to me - they've got the same problem: music great, vocals not. Though Hansi's voice is really nice when he is not screaming.

I like the music better, also the vocals are somewhat better, though still not of the kind I really love. Ok, I'll admit it, it's quite hard for a singer to impress me. There are not many singers that I really love and can listen to over and over again. It's a big problem, because there are so many good songs out there and I just don't listen to them too often only because of the singer.

Well, this song is actually quite good, I like it! Do they have some more songs worth listening to?

korruption · July 5th, 2009, 11:42 AM

Mind Key - The Seventh Seal from "Pulse for a Graveheart"

Excellent stuff! Keyboards and spacey-effects all over, Jorn Lande-ish vocals, melodic, bla bla bla... Great stuff!

I never got into Blind Guardian, but have you heard the Iced Earth/Blind Guardian side project called Demons & Wizards? Excellent stuff

I can understand you...but I really like Heri's voice in TYR all on its own...but more-so as a change of pace than most (growly) in this genre. He plays a decent guitar as well.

I have indeed! Actually I have the limited edition of their first album, though I don't remember its name at the moment. Really some good stuff, if I recall correctly I like "Fiddler On The Green", "Tear Down The Walls" and "Winter of Souls" most. I also checked their second album, but I didn't like it that much. Is there already a third one? Guess it's in the making, but I'm not sure...

I'll check out some more songs of TYR. Do you maybe know where their name comes from? I'm just curious...

Iced Dog · July 5th, 2009, 05:48 PM

Yeah, Jon and Hansi will be working on a third album later this year, for a release sometime in 2010.

TYR is taken from Norse Mythology.

I love what they play and write in thier music...being from the Faroes Islands, its nothing but authentic traditional Viking Metal music. Controversial content in some eyes but interesting, honest, inspiring and epic as hell!

Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings (the title track)
The re-issue version of this is fucking pulverizing, especially the parts where Matt sings during the verses. Absolutely thunderous!

korruption · July 9th, 2009, 03:32 PM

Stupid forum wouldn't let me edit my post...

Now it's Last December. I love how Matt's voice echoes after:
"this is not your average love...

IT'S FOREVAAWWWW!!!

FOREVAAWWW...

FOREVAAAWW..."

Iced Dog · July 10th, 2009, 01:35 AM

Nah, seriously... Opeth, Watershed at the moment! So many beautiful melodies and atmospheres... if the songs would be a little easier to distinguish like on the other albums I've heard so far it would be even better...

Thorns On My Grave · July 12th, 2009, 03:52 PM

Currently listening to Linkin Park - Minutes to Midnight. I always loved this band, but on first listen I hated the direction of this album. After stepping back and giving it a few more listens without expecting an identical third album, there is a lot of good music on this record. Very emotional, pushing the boundaries of popular alternative rock/metal. Good stuff

Olddoggie · July 20th, 2009, 12:27 PM

Opeth: all i have of them, and that's a lot !
