Well, in the case of Death, it depends on which era you look at.
If you listen to the early stuff, Chucks is pretty much roaring into the microphone.
Their later stuff, though is a bit of a change. Lately, it's been giving me the mental image of Chuck acting like a cougar and stalking an elk in the middle of a national park.

Yeah. It's very similar, but a lot more agressive. His voice isn't so clean as it was. Lots of choruswork though, and violins are still very strong. Would you like a sample? I'll put a few up on my website if you'd like a sample.

Hehe i just bought a fan to put next to my dums so when i play my Viking locks can flow in the breeze (thats right ollie i have decided they are Viking locks now not hippie ones)
Galloglass have only one album so far, Legends From Now And Nevermore. Great album. Hopefully Heavenseeker will be just as awesome!
I got into Galloglass a few months ago when I downloaded a few songs from their website. One being Kings Who Die (from their Demo cd) which is a great song. The other song is called Silent Oath, I've had a look around their site and neither song appears to be up for download anymore.

INHUMAN RAMPAGE - BRAND NEW ALBUM
Following a hugely successful summer and autumn, during which the 18 month campaign in support of their Sonic Firestorm album has seen them wowing festival crowds around Europe before returning to the UK to play yet another sell out tour, London based metallists DRAGONFORCE have just completed work on their eagerly anticipated third album.
Inhuman Rampage contains eight brand new songs and will be released on 9th January 2006. The album recording sessions were made at Thin Ice Studios in Virginia Water (Surrey) and guitarist Herman Li's own studio in West London between April and September, while production duties were shared between Li, fellow axeman Sam Totman and keyboard player Vadim Pruzhanov.
When asked to comment on the new album, Li stated:
“On the new album we have come up with the ultimate formula that has never been done before. Combining intensity, chaos and melody, with all the DragonForce trademarks plus some more. For us, this is the next evolution in DragonForce's sound. I have never heard an album sounding like ‘Inhuman Rampage'....the title says it all! It's seriously gonna blow some heads off around the world next year.”
The full tracklisting of Inhuman Rampage is as follows:-
1. Through the Fire and Flames
2. Revolution Deathsquad
3. Storming the Burning Fields
4. Operation Ground and Pound
5. Body Breakdown
6. Cry for Eternity
7. The Flame of Youth
8. Trail of Broken Hearts
The album will be released on CD and picture vinyl, with the CD featuring an enhanced section and other surprise goodies....
Herman Li and Vadim Pruzhanov will undertake a 2 week tour of Continetal Europe to promote the January 9th release of 'Inhuman Rampage' and will visit the following cities:
October Monday 17th - Brussels / Tuesday 18th - Athens / Wednesday 19th Berlin / Thursday 20th Stockholm / Friday 21st - Helsinki / Saturday 22nd - Cologne / Sunday 23rd - Cologne / Monday 23rd - Dortmund / Tuesday 25th - Paris / Wednesday 26th - Milan / Thursday 27th - Barcelona / Friday 28th - Stuttgart & Munich.

Indeed! The Legend Of Huma from the Resurrection album was based on the novel by Richard A Knaak and Netherlife (Black Roses Die) from A Rise To Power was based on Lord Soth from the first 6 books (which has a lot of background info from the Ravenloft novel Knight Of The Black Rose).

Speaking of literary influence, I realised recently, for those who didn't read my earlier post, that Blind guardian's "somewhere far beyond" has, infuriatingly been influenced by Stephen King's Dark tower series, which I am still in the process of writing my own song based on, and was before I actually read the lyrics booklet to that album.
Bah.

My favourite would be The Belgariad/Mallorean by David Eddings.
Then comes either the books by Fiest concerning Midkemia, or the Elenium/Tamuli series by Eddings. Then I'd rate the Dragon books by Anne McCaffrey, Tolkien's books, and perhaps the Keltannach by Patricia Kennealy. I'd also rate Ed Greenwood's Elminster: The Making of a Mage, King's Dark Tower, and R.A. Salvatore's books highly.

I never really liked the Belgariad, it didnt do anythinmg for me, but i am currently reading 'The diamond throne' (book one of the Elenium series) its pretty good, though not the best thing i have read

Yes, I would say that they have intense modern power elements. Besides, the term power metal is very broad nowadays. For the record Therion originally started as a death metal band.

One Step Beyond has probably the best "songs" on there, by that I mean they're not necessarily as progressive as the earlier albums but they're good solid songs and HEAPS of solos! :thumb:
Under The Rising Sun... well, the live show is really cool and the behind the scenes stuff is a lot of fun and fairly interesting. It's let down a bit by the length of the show (we only had 45 minutes allocated to us) and a bit of the footage is a bit crappy thanx to some of the cameras being set up wrong, but there was no way we were gonna bail on this footage because of that! It's a good example of what Dungeon was like circa 2003 live if nothing else and the band was on fire that night! :)
It's worth getting I think, but if you're clever you'd get the LMP limited release of One Step Beyond which comes bundled with the Under The Rising Sun DVD, a few bonus tracks and a bonus video clip on the album. :)

Yeah, similar sentiment from a registered IE fanboy here, I love Owens, but he's no Matt
All Asian guitar players are ****ing awesome. The Japanese can put a wailing heavy metal shred solo into anything and make it sound awesome. My girlfriend's J-Pop, with people like pop diva Utada Hikaru, has crazy guitar solos interspersed throughout what's basically mechanical pop music all over. That makes them all great to me. :)
Besides, look at X-Japan. They have one of the best 20+ songs ever, and that includes "A Change of Seasons" and "2112." They're all amazing.

Tarja getting sacked doesn't diminish the music she did with them; if anything it will make it more precious and irreplaceable.

It's high time I gave Dungeon another chance. Suggest any songs you think the mighty Stoic would like :p
Hehe, this thread is 80% BG talk, I swear...
Not that there's anything wrong with that!
A Rise To Power is a firm favourite, I believe, Orestes.

Life Is Black (Best. Guitar Tone. Ever.)
A Rise To Power
Wake Up
Severed Ties
Netherlife (Black Roses Die)
Lost In The Light

I don't mind people trading one or 2 songs to give someone a feel for what we do, so go nuts. Whole albums on the other hand... well, that's why I'm eating 2 minute noodles instead of steak every night! ;)
For songs, I suggest these from One Step Beyond: "Against The Wind", "Tarranno Del Mar", "The Hunger" or "One Step Beyond"
For over the top ness (is that a word?), try these from A Rise To Power "Lost In The Light" or "Traumatised"
For good heavy metal, try "Resurrection" or "The Legend Of Huma" from the Resurrection (2005) album.
And for some fun, see if you can find "Insanity's Fall" from the Under The Rising Sun live album (it comes as the bonus disc on the latest Resurrection album limited edition through LMP).
That should keep you busy! :)
And if you get bored, look up some songs from "A Personal Journey" by LORD. ;)

My favorites from a rise to power are Traumatised, lost in the light, stormchaser, and life is black.
Currently the faves off one step beyond are against the wind, tarranno del mar and under the cross
Lord Tim

Yeah, the LORD site is about a week away from a complete and total overhaul (it'll basically be a almost a mirror image of the current Dungeon site) and it'll be containing actual current information *gasp* :p
I wonder why :rolleyes:
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Heh. I do have 4 album by them, you know.

Pretty good! *warning - blatant spam ahead!!* A Personal Journey will be re-released in a couple of weeks Australia wide and rehearsals with the new band are going great. First show is planned for Feb. 2006, so here's hoping we don't suck, hey? HAHA!

Stoic, give the following a try
Life Is Black (Best. Guitar Tone. Ever.)
A Rise To Power
Wake Up
Severed Ties
Netherlife (Black Roses Die)
Lost In The Light
So part one of checking Dungeon! :p
I've been able to find and download most of these songs and I have to say that I still find them quite old school heavy/power yet highly evolved for the standards of such a narrowed (in my opinion always) style. Dungeon I believe are the definition of traditional metal played by a modern band and they certainly have the potential to grow on me! Netherlife (Black Roses Die) is my new favourite song. Superb lead guitar work!
/checks Lord Tim's recommendations

Gave a friend of mine a couple of songs off of a Rise to Power and I think I've made a new fan with it.
What LT said, try Traumatised from Rise to Power.

:lol: it seems I have to try the entire Rise to Power album. Dont worry Tim, I wont take that steak away from you, I'll see if I can find the album first :p
Lord Tim
10-27-2005, 07:18 AM
HAHA! Well, as a certain warez group says, "try before you buy" - if you do download the entire album and you decide you like it enough and go out and buy it, then all is good! :)

Ooh christmas sales start soon you know what that means, i can afford to by more things for my drumkit without spending too much (i think a cowbell will be first)
Ok i have pre-orderd Galloglass' next album (its limited edition with a dvd:thumb: )
Lord Tim
10-28-2005, 10:59 AM
LMP are really getting into the whole album bundled with DVD thing, hey?
I can't say I've always seen eye to eye with Limb but they sure know how to package a product! :)
I must check out Galloglass sometime, actually...

The new Dragonforce is more of the same...however, their one trick is quite good.
No points for originality, but they expanded on their old technique and made it even more crazy.
Woooot, Sonata at B.B. Kings! Can't wait. :D

So, I want to order from the Nuclear Blast online shop, but am unsure about the whole ''send us a photocopy of yo credit card beehatches!'' business.

Yes mate, I have. Don't worry 'bout the card business - it's purely to prove that you actually have the card in your possession and haven't skanked the number off somebody elses.
After the first time you don't have to do it again.
You'll also be on their mailing list, and get cool offers and a Metal magazine thingy sent to you. Great for practising German!
Go forth and order, young man - and worry ye not. :thumb:

Don't worry. It's an excellent album. They just didn't really advance much is all. It's still got me hooked like all Dragonforce. I plan on buying it about the day it comes out haha.
Lord Tim made Dungeon grab my attention. I shall check them out for sure.

My Dad signed up to their mailing list not so long ago and they sent 2 copies of the same magazine, the pictures are fun to look at seeing as I've not done German for about 3 years...
Do I just scan the front of the card and email them the picture with my order?

I don't know about the scanning thing - I just photocopied mine and faxed it over when I was at work, together with my name, order details etc.
The order came really quick as well, and was preceded by a nice email from a hot-sounding german chick.
Bonus.:D

So guys, let's liven up the thread with a little whoring. Grave Digger, a well known band that's been around for years but its not discussed often here. Do you like late Blind Guardian (especially NIME but with less layers) and Sabaton? Ask Stoic to send you a song off Grave Digger's Rheingold :D

Right I've listened to it a couple of times, it's pretty good. Reminds me riff-wise of Priest, though I think the vocals in the chorus would benefit from being beefier.
Is that track representative of the whole album, or is it by far the best one on there?
Might be worth checking out. :)
As another bit of band-whoring, anyone out there heard of, or got any stuff by Twilightning?
They're yet another finnish power metal band ( I reckon that 50% of that countries population must be in a metal band of some sort!) who remind me a lot of Sonata Arctica. Obviously, the singer doesn't sound like Tony Kakko - no-one does...
I'll upload a couple of tracks on YSI today, if anyone wants 'em just email me

BTW, these two tracks I'm offering aren't exactly the most SA sounding ones - if anything they're quite a lot like Stratovarius IMO, but the more SA ones are much longer, and as a dial-up user they'd take forever to upload!
These two tracks rock, anyway. And they are a bit SA-ish to boot
