James is a very nice guy indeed. After the Helstar show that me and Will went to, he gave me a big hug then saying "We are commin' back man! we are back!" It was hawt
I never got to see him with Helstar, though. Saw him with Destiny's End opening for Iced Earth. Still counts!
Where have I been this whole time? This band is killer! I'll check out more of Helstar's other stuff.
It sounds like Pantera with Michael Kiske on vocals. Not bad, but the vocals just kinda plod along without any real emotion or feeling. The same could be said about the music, although it's not bad by any means. I'm sure they're really nice guys.
Get A Distant Thunder first. Winds Of War alone makes it one of my favorite power metal albums. Nosferatu, Remnants of War and Burning Star (in that order) are also essential.
please do not insult Helstar with fucking Pantera. Pantera are not a straight up thrash band mate. Get Nosferatu first, that guy is insane if he thinks A Distant Thunder is better than Nosferatu.
