That's pretty old news actually

I'm not too familiar with Yngwie's music, but I didn't like the bit that I did hear and I don't think different vocalists would have too big of an impact on it.

chrissie · April 26th, 2008, 07:58 AM

Had my Kamelot and Firewind hours, saw them live on wednesday. And now I'm listening to Pyramaze.

His first two albums, in my opinion, were very good. Everything after that was shite.
Hopefully something with equal calibur to the first two will be put out.
Just hoping; and I never saw that Ripper joined with Yngwie, I dont have any metal friends IRL, buncha losers.. So I gotta rape the interweb for my news :P

Morgana Lefay!

They once have been my favorite band. Well, until I heard Days Of Purgatory for the first time. Here's the link to a great song called "Maleficium" I just discovered on youtube. Didn't know there's a video to any of their songs.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rTkPS-oL4w

The whole album (also called Maleficium) is about the inquistion. It's a great record but for me The Secret Doctrine is their best release up to date. It's really worth checking out.

I've been listening to Agalloch's Ashes Against the Grain... what a freaking masterpiece!

Damn good album...did you order the jakebox edition? It's a pretty trippy package with the 3-D cover and funky foldout

I disagree about the new Firewind...both albums with Apollo are great, though Allegiance is better.

Listened to Epica's The Divine Conspiracy again this week after a hiatus...still brilliant

korruption · April 27th, 2008, 07:30 PM

Apollo's a hell of a singer but this is the first album I bought from theirs and I have a feeling it wasn't the right choice.

About Brainstorm; sadly no - I just got the standard boring "Shinobi Voorhees" cover version.

Anyhoo, currently listening to Nightingale - Eternal.

chrissie · April 28th, 2008, 11:05 AM

Actually I'm listening to Masterplan, the Album from 2003, one of their best in my opinion.

So, my buddy showed me some like hardcoreish band or whatever he described their genre as; I totally thought I was going to hate it, but it ended up being epic. So I keep watching the youtube video of it.

I really like the music,

korruption · April 30th, 2008, 10:26 AM

That music video reminded me of both Mercenary and Raunchy (two more top-notch Danish bands) - looking forward to both of their new albums whenever the hell they come out. Course it's all just a time passer until the real deal comes out!

korruption · April 30th, 2008, 10:41 AM

Oh and speaking of Mercenary; I'm listening to their new song "New Desire" and holy fuck this is ass-kickery of the highest order!

muzmaze · April 30th, 2008, 04:01 PM

Listening to Communics new song, "On Ancient Ground"...holy crap it is great!

carbon · May 1st, 2008, 07:34 PM

I'm listening to Carl Thomas - Summer Rain, lol.........

Iced Dog · May 4th, 2008, 01:07 AM

For anyone who loves a good classic power/speed band, check out ReinXeed...I just heard the promo for their debut album The Light...holy smokage! It's almost a one-man band, Tommy Johansson is both an amazing guitarist and vocalist, and also does the keys. They really need a new official website though, it looks like shit and hasn't been updated since last summer

Thankfully the myspace is a little better maintained...

Allen-Lande - Her Spell

TheAnonymous · May 4th, 2008, 11:03 AM

Hmm, is the Allen-Lande thing any good? I've been wanting to check em out, I fucking love Russel Allen's voice. If so, what do you think I should start with?

I listened to the album for the 2nd time. So it's not so easy to say.
It's not too heavy, nice to hear. If you like Russel Allen's voice, maybe you like the song "Will You Follow".

Versailles-Red Carpet Day

I have been listening to these guys since before they released their debut album (mini-album is more like it) late last year. This japanese band knows how to make some awesome power/neoclassical metal.

The video I have here is one I found that somebody has but the song to a video from a final fantasy game. I did this because if you see what they look like before giving them a fair listen you may be quick to judge....

You Tube

carbon · May 5th, 2008, 12:35 AM

^^^^^^^
Man, i REALLY like the Instrumental section of the band, I must admit i wish the singing was a bit more operatic.. I'm not sure if its just the language (japanese?) that isn't doing it for me, or the style.. but it desn't feel like it fits as well as it could in most parts.. but i'm DEFINITELY digging it.

I just caught this new band from metalstorm.ee , its "All Ends", they're a Gothenburg band; it's a bit of a break from the super fast super intense bands that i'm always listening to, its nice to have some music to start the wind-down from super crazy music; that is instead of going from Amon Amarth, or Yngwie straight to celtic.. Having something in the middle..
Hope you enjoy.

Wow...that sounds a lot better than I thought it would. It kinda has a nice melodic power metal sound without the usual double bass up tempo sound. The female singer also reminds me a lot of Tom Englund's (of Evergrey) wife Carina, who is quite a powerful female vocalist as well.

About the song I posted, you said you wish the voice was a bit more operatic so I thought I would post this other song that I feel sounds moreso operatic. Oh btw, this is a music video so it can't be helped that you will see what these guys look like; therefore, I will just go ahead and say that, even if they are not homosexual, they dress up effeminately. This is because in Japan a lot of bands follow a sort of "visual shock" style in order to create a more visual experience. Basically, its just a part of the show, and I even think it creates a nice aesthetic to go along with the music.

You Tube

And here is their debut single song which I think shows some outstanding guitar solos. It's also in "Engrish".
