Hmmm...Stratovarius is usually hit or miss for me.

O well...I'll give them a try later.

Malekith, I'd like that...wasn't that Sonata's first EP?

Yeah that's right mate. It's actually a mix of their EP "Successor" and the "Broken" single. I'll be happy to oblige you with e-mail.
Bear with me a moment..........

[Stoic]

Rumboy...it's a world wide conspiracy against you, the second link gave me a runtime error :( I didnt know you're still on 56k, it takes 50 mins to upload a song!

Anyway, I listened to the first song and I must say it's quite typical SA like euro power yet vey enjoyable as it has power and intensity (the lead guitar-key interaction owns!). Not bad at all, I'll certainly look for some more on their official site and/or soulseek :)

[Kronos]

Booo! Nasty internet... I'm gonna try the link for myself. Be back in a mo...

[Kronos]

Bugger it, Stoic - you're right. :angry: I will not be defeated - I'll just do it again...
Will advise when done, and I'll test it myself first..

no, no, no! I know what 56k means (I had had it for 6 years!), you dont need to upload it, just tell me which track it is so that I can find it on soulseek and then upload it :)

[Kronos]

It's Gone To The Wall, from the album Delerium Veil (2002)

PS, if you find that album OK - my track 2 "At The Forge" is corrupted for some reason, and won't play on my PC at all - if you download that one, could ya send me a YSI link?

[Stoic]

alright, I hope I'll be lucky with soulseek and dcc++

What does the NP thing mean?

Forgive my slowness

[Stoic]

Now Playing ;)

I'm downloading gone to the wall!

Actually I've found both of the songs you mentioned but I'll upload them a bit later since Im tired now.

Gone to the Wall is not as impressive as the other track is :(

[Malekith2005]

Takatalvi is a great album, lots of cool songs, I want out and shy being the pick for me...

NP-Nightwish-I wish I had an angel
Yeah,it is very good. The original version of San Sebastian I think is better than the remake on "Silence". Wasn't "I Want Out" a Helloween song originally? Could be wrong,but it's a great cover nonetheless.
"Shy" is a nice little song,but I think Tony has some issues with members of the opposite sex. Women tend to get the ****ty end of the stick in his songs!

[Huber]

The new DragonForce rocks balls. I have to get this album when it coes out.

[Shattered_Future]

I Want Out was a Helloween cover, yes. They did a great job with it.

The new Dragonforce I thought was more of the same...yet it still hasn't lost its intensity on me in small doses. :D

[Malekith2005]

I've got "Sonic Firestorm". I don't like it very much,too fast and too much guitar-widdling just for show. But hey,each to their own!
However,it makes a good soundtrack to play Dawn Of War to on my PC :)

[Lord Abortion]

Haha, I could tell by your username you were a Warhammer player...

I didn't think I want out was a cover of the Helloween song...they sound pretty different to me...

[Shattered_Future]

Maybe we're thinking of 2 different things then...Sonata Arctica definately did a cover of I Want Out by Helloween.

[Kronos]

Ghoulies and Ghosties, and Long-leggedy Beasties, and things that go BUMP in the night...



Halloween bump there.


Where is everyone? It's like the Mary Celeste round here..

[Stoic]

Do non american people actually celebrate halloween?

/ignorance ++

[Kronos]

Yeah, we do. More so now than years ago. Any excuse to drink :chug:


We'll nick anyone's ideas :lol:

[Shattered_Future]

In the eternal words of Foamy The Squirrel, though, Halloween has been corrupted by mass media.

However, any day to just completely stuff your face with candy is fine with me. :D

Nowadays, I prefer my calories in alcohol, rather than sugar form.:D

Eating less leaves more room for drink.

[Shattered_Future]

Yea, but I thought eating makes it harder for the alcohol to get into your bloodstream...thereby increasing your capacity to drink before you pass out even more.

[Kronos]

It does, but at a terrible cost in calories. Eventually, you become semi-immune, and can drink without eating too much.
We English are world-class drinkers.

But not as world-class as the Scandinavians. Never have I seen such drinkers.
Respect.

[Shattered_Future]

Yea, all of Europe is quite good at drinking...

Americans, they can only settle for about 6 beers, maybe more depending on the person. (I wouldn't know...I'm not allowed to drink yet. :evil: )

[Kronos]

Interesting beer fact - I used to work for a Harley-Davidson dealership, and we had many American servicemen come in - they used to get us crates of US beer really cheap (unofficially, like:evil: )

My brother and I once drank a case between us (Bud)...
...and we didn't even get drunk:upset:

But got the worst headaches imaginable :lol:

Come to Europe - the beer's better.

[Lord Abortion]

We know how to drink over here, wussy americans can't hold their Beer!

You guys underestimate us a bit. And don't listen to Shattered's "6 beers" claim :p .

A) A seasoned American drinker needs 16-20 to get steamed up.

B) Bud is goat piss. It's watery and tastes like trash. Believe it or not, there's plenty of American beers I'm sure you'd approve of. I myself enjoy a more hearty brew, so I drink a lot of red beers, lagers, and stouts. It's the average Sunday football game Bud drinkers that bring down the rep for the rest of us.

I should've also mentioned that the same applied to cases of the following -
-MGD
-Coors Banquet Beer
-Miller Light
-Ice House
One Yankee lager that wasn't too bad was Michelob, but that still gives a headache long before oblivion!
On a serious note, I have heard that there's loads of good Yank beer from the small micro breweries you have (I had some Boston Steam Beer once, and it was very good indeed) - trouble is, it's the nasty stuff from the evil Anheuser-Busch empire that's constantly pushed here. We get almost none of the good stuff :upset:
Plus the fact that lager-type beers in general are marketed directly at Teenagers, who are obviously more easily fooled than us old'uns about what a decent brew is.

[Kronos]

'Spose we'd better stop talking about beer an' stuff now - we'll get flamed or something

[Shattered_Future]

Bah, not many people care here...in the PM thread, at least.

cjborton, I said I don't drink...so I don't know how many it takes to get drunk.

I will say, though, my dad's friend and his wife brought a case of wine (6-7 bottles or so) on vacation with us for a week, and managed to finish that case within the week.

Quite funny to see them drunk...:D

Gotta tell my friend to get the ball rolling on those Sonata tickets...I want to get them by the end of the week, just to be safe.

Been listening to a LOT of them lately...I think they are an extremely underrated band. Both the keyboardist and guitarist could surely pull their own weight as solo artists.

Tony certainly could! Tommi (drummer) is no Jukka tho'.

Heh, Sonata Artica are hardly underrated. Everyone talks about them. This thread is 40% Sonata Artica, 40% Blind Guardian, 5% Dungeon (when Tim's online) and 15% other bands. :p

[IheartSP]

I just got Nightfall in Middle Earth, it is purely amazing. Blind Guardian finally has showed me there is good powermetal without harsh vocals (Iced Earth is only ok to me.)

[Riva]

I just got Nightfall in Middle Earth, it is purely amazing. Blind Guardian finally has showed me there is good powermetal without harsh vocals (Iced Earth is only ok to me.)

Actually, I'm the opposite, as I think that only 1 band is good power metal with harsh vocals.

[IheartSP]

Would that be Bodom?

The reason I don't like powermetal with clean vocals is actually a few things. First of all any form of major scale in anything I cannot stand. The scale alltogether makes me wanna hit myself, the cloesest I'll get is mixolydian mode (i.e. some Maiden liek Run to the Hills or Can I Play With Madness). Also, powermetal tends to be very repetetive. Every Stratovarius or Dragonforce song is basically the same format. Stratovarius always does a little intro lead, the verse is just whole note powerchords, then theres a major chorus or prechorus, and the intro lead repeats. Dragonforce is very similar, and unlike Stratovarius who I think has amazing sections with neoclassical melodies, and some really good solos, Dragonforce's music just bores me even beyond the major scale parts.

If you count Wintersun and powermetal, which they are certainly influenced by, but they aren't really, they are my favorite powermetal band with some form of clean vocals, although they do more harsh ones. The harsh vocalled powermetal bands (Bodom, Norther, Kalmah, Skyfire, Imperanon, etc) never use major scale and tend to have much more room for melody because they don't have vocal melodies there to get in the way of things.

[Steerpike]

Have you tried Savatage or Sabaton yet?

[Riva]

Would that be Bodom?



No, Kalmah.

I seriously find Bodom to be immature and boring.

That's fine and all, but to me Dragonforce is far more melodic than Bodom, Norther, etc, and the vocals simply enhance this.

Again, whilst the dissonance of the minor scales is appealing, it does get old very fast. And whilst you complained about the structural consistency of Dragonforce and Stratovarius songs, you ignored that Bodom and Norther are very much formulaic.

Oh, and Imperanon sounds interesting, what album do you recommend?

[Shadows Within]

Oh, and Imperanon sounds interesting, what album do you recommend?
there a total COB rip-off still good though.

[IheartSP]

Imperanon only has one album, it sounds much more like something a clean vocaled band would write.

Norther I agree does have very similar songs, Bodom although similar in a sense I think are all very original. And I'm not just talking minor scale, I think any mode really. In terms of melody if Dragonforce is more melodic I think your crazy. Bodom has so many more leads and use of keyboard, Dragonforce is all powerchords besides intro riffs and solos.

To Steerpike, I've only heard one song by Savatage, I thought it was pretty cool, what is Sabaton like?

[Shadows Within]

hey IheatrSp where is the Palladium

[IheartSP]

Wouldn't know, I'm going my first time when I see Bodom.

[Steerpike]

Sabaton are very Wagner-ian, like Manowar, but with more of the classical influence. Their vocalist is like a Swedish Lemmy, but with more of a belting quality to his voice like Hansi Kursch.

Their lyrics focus almost exclusively on history and war, so the influence of Wagner is particularly fitting.

[IheartSP]

Never heard of Wanger in my life, but the subject of the lyrics sound cool, I love history and war. Are the lyrics, vocals, or music cheesy? Also, is it chock full of melodies like Bodom?

EDIT: I just read some of their lyrics, very cool, not all corned out like Dragonforce.

Not Wanger, Wagner. Richard Wagner, the composer of Ride of the Valkyries.

It's not as intensely melodic as CoB, but instead relies on using driving rhythms with a healthy dose of reverb and backing vocals to create a sweeping, epic sound. Panzer Battallion though has some really nice lead guitar work to it in harmonic minor.

(Hang on) got to go
Preview what they oughtta know
Keep your head down and ****ing die
(Wake up) rise and shine
Gotta take another pint
Dig heads and watch out for the night
When the sun comes down and the moon comes up in the sky
The battle of the day and the night

(Kill, kill, kill) go **** another one
Candlelight burns in a wood so high
On a carpet (flying high) take it down to the other side
The way beyond it may lie
When the moon comes up and is rescuing under the night
The reaper is on the other side, let's go

Bodom after midnight
Bodom after midnight yeah




Alright!

Hey what's the matter with you,
what are you trying to do, I'm wrecking my brain
I'll never get it. Did i ever hurt you in any way?
if I did then hear my apology: **** YOU!

I'd give anything to batter you down,
all the way to 6 feet under
And why in earth should I stop until
I see your ****ing *** drop

Mind your own business and leave mine alone,
take a look at the real world for a sec.
It's a hell for heroes and heaven for fools,
what makes you the luckiest bastard on the earth!

In the prejudiced mind narrow yourself in,
I'm the servant while you're the king.

Ohhhhhohh,
Til' tomorrow is a better day to be,
Ooohhohohoh,
You're better off dead than ****ing with me.
Ohooohhoooh
What if there ain't no tomorrow...
Ohooohoho
Well let me tell you, there wasn't one today!

Hey, would you like me to dare,
so that I know why I stop
and the only one step right
and it's raining flesh of death.

Bodom is renowned for their crappy lyrics though.

Sabaton I can't get into. I have some stuff by them, but just don't like it.

I'll give it a spin again though...

[IheartSP]

I never said I liked Bodom's lyrics. I think they are utter crap if you ask me, but I can't hear them so I don't really care. They are pretty much just punk lyrics, a genre of music I don't care for.

"7 kings riding on the winds toward the mountains" now that is just cheesimus maxiumus.

In all honesty tho, I think lyrics are maybe 5% of the importance of a song. If a song is amazing and has bad lyrics, it's still got an A in my book.

[Shadows]

"7 kings riding on the winds toward the mountains" now that is just cheesimus maxiumus.
Those are some damn good lyrics right there. Could stand to be cheesier.

When I start my power metal band, I'm writing the absolute cheesiest lyrics possible.

We want to be in a power metal band, just we seem to have become a Metllica cover band without noticing, which pisses me off royally as I don't even like Metallica, but both the guitarists and bassist are fanboys...

Me and the guitarist of my band would like to play PM too but we have a crappy drummer and a singer who would like to do pop-song stuff.

Hi guys. I'm back for the weekend again (only time I get to post unfortunately)
Shattered Future,did you get the tracks I sent you,or was it a no show?
Just wondered as my e-mail facility has been playing up recently:angry:

[Iron Bars]

I just noticed Tobias Sammet has a side project called Avantasia. Is it worth checking out? I saw the list of people who were doing vocals for him and it started to sound a bit to much like Ayreon (which I don't like at all).

I may be slighty effeminate...but that just makes the girls love me more...you have a lot to learn young man.

I just noticed Tobias Sammet has a side project called Avantasia. Is it worth checking out? I saw the list of people who were doing vocals for him and it started to sound a bit to much like Ayreon (which I don't like at all).

I'm not familiar with Ayreon - I should get a track or two now that you mentioned them - but I find Avantasia quite good cheesy power. In fact I dont think that they're similar to Ayreon since Ayreon are supposed to be prog. Do you want me to send you any tracks?

no problem man!

Dargon hates flower/power I suppose. In fact he's a huge fan of speed/traditional metal.

[Steerpike]

To tell you the truth, I gave up caring what he says a long time ago. And he never once tried to argue about this sort of thing with me, because I think he knew that.

[Lord Abortion]

Thanks alot.

I like the sound of the Ghoul concept, as they are intertwined with the Undead, ghouls aree not undead themselves, merely cannibals who eat the corpses in Graveyards...

[Steerpike]

Exactly. The whole concept came about from Arab nomads. Seeing as they had no formal settlements, they were often forced to bury their dead where ever was convenient and leave a grave marker so anyone passing by would know to pay respects.


But occasionally, the nomads would stumble across a dug up grave and badly chewed up bodies. Now, with modern knowledge of how nature works, that's simply a matter of desert wild dogs digging up the bodies and snacking on whatever parts were still digestable. But to ancient nomads, there was only one explanation: there must be some sort of demon that feeds on the flesh of dead humans. Hence, the ghoul.

Hey you guys are tryna start a power metal band?
Im in a power/thrash band...but its more power than thrash.
~For some reason we are auditioning a Death metal vocalist. He is the only one who has applied so far.

~~we have a badass name too: 'ABSOLUTION' (props to me for coming up w/it)

>>By the way, if any of you people steal it...I'll kill you.

[Lord Abortion]

No...we already have a band, we just don't like the current musical direction the other members are trying to take it, and want to make it in more Power/extreme vein, which was the idea at the start when we formed it.

[Metallion#666]

Cool.

Are u the singer lordA?

[Brew]

My band is heading in a black/death/thrash metal style, we're doing alot of Mayhem, Sepultura, Slayer, Darkthrone, Bathory, Immortal and Misfits (we're doing a 10-song medley of their stuff) covers at the moment, whilst trying to piece some riffs together for our own songs.

We're having problems with our lead guitarist though, he rarely turns upto practise :angry:

[Metallion#666]

Im the lead guitarist in my band. I always show up to practice

[Lord Abortion]

I'm the oldest in my band (17, 18 in a few months), the drummer and singer are both 15, and the lead guitarist is either 16 or 17, but in the year below me at school.

[Steerpike]

You win.

Still, it does get annoying for me that I have to explain my influences as a guitarist and singer, and nobody knows what the **** I'm talking about.

"Well, I was deeply inspired by Criss Oliva's intensely melodic and multi-faceted guitarwork, but I also really love the stoner/doom sound in Candlemass and Cathedral. And of course I really admire the achingly expressive style of Michael Schenker and Buck Dharma. But as a singer, I'd say my biggest inspirations would have to be Jon Oliva's raw emotional power, Glenn Danzig's ghoulish croon, Michale Graves classic styling blended with punk energy, and Matt Barlow's incredible adaptability."

By then, they just sort of stare at me with a glassy look trying to figure out who the hell these people are.

And I don't think I need to name the guitarist of Cathedral, seeing as you're already a fan.

I've also decided that since R&M needs a little spice injected into it, I'm going to try and broaden the scope of my series a little bit. At least every other poll there is going to be a wild card band, a group whom you'd expect to find in a different forum, but have been spotlighted for the sake of diversity.

I havent heard of "The Movies". Is it a program that lets you insert and edit video camera data? The bands you mentioned (except for Michale Graves whom I dont know) dont sound too creepy to me :p

[Steerpike]

The Movies is a video game. You build and manage a movie studio with stars, crew, writers, etc.

It allows you to create custom stars and scripts and offers a lot of freedom in designing your own movies. One guy in The Pit made a thread for the game in Media Center and already put up a few of his movies. The first was a short called Zombie Slaughter that included a scene of a ninja knife-fighting with a jawless zombie with Killing in the Name by RATM playing in the background. Come on, you know you want to see that.
