The War Council Of Power Metal Arcana

[Shattered_Future]

But Australia isn't getting any shows anyway, so what happens when people hat e metal? :(

Buy a boat and sail the world looking for metal ports. It would be the power metal thing to do.

The Legacy is...different. It's almost rock, but not...

I think it's good for Helloween, but considering Helloween isn't one of my favorite bands, it's kinda blah...

[Stormrider]

Once again I say soemthing like this; I havn't heard any Helloween. Except for one song on Headbangers ball :-/

Which was pretty meh to me. Don't remember the title.

[Mr_Bounce]

Yeah, I like Helloween, but a surprising number of their songs aren't that great for me :S

[shadow_stalker]

We have to make people hate it even more than they already do, so the bands become less popular. Then, WE CAN GET ALL THE TICKETS! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Helloween is a bit lame...there's a few gems here and there, but they're WAY too simplistic for my tastes.
Yes and we can start by getting americans to hate Sonata Arctica and Dragonforce so they will tour the UK more (or atall in sonata's case):thumb:

But Australia isn't getting any shows anyway, so what happens when people hat e metal? :(
hey atleast you get Dungeon/LORD in australia

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Once again I say soemthing like this; I havn't heard any Helloween. Except for one song on Headbangers ball :-/

Which was pretty meh to me. Don't remember the title.
Get Walls Of Jericho.

[shadow_stalker]

Ive only heard 'ride the sky', 'Mr torture' and 'Escaltion 666' (or something like that) and as great as mr torture is on the comedy scale i cant say they make me want to buy a helloween album


on a similar note i still think that nightfall in middleearth was a waste of money :upset:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't like NIME either.

NP: Jag Panzer - Licensed to Kill.

[shadow_stalker]

on a positive note i think mandrake could be my new favourite Edguy album :)

[Lord Abortion]

Buy a boat and sail the world looking for metal ports. It would be the power metal thing to do.

Like Running Wild, but Australian

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Now that would be good.

like unholy inverted kangaroo good!

[Stormrider]

on a positive note i think mandrake could be my new favourite Edguy album :)

I need an Edguy album. My first one will be Hellfire Club. Then it will go from there.

on a similar note i still think that nightfall in middleearth was a waste of money :upset:

:(

[ArcLite]

on a positive note i think mandrake could be my new favourite Edguy album :)

Pharoah is in my top three favorite Edguy tunes. A few other great tracks on there too.

[Shattered_Future]

on a positive note i think mandrake could be my new favourite Edguy album :)

Love that album. Nailed To The Wheel and Golden Dawn. \m/

The one thing I don't like about NIME is the production. The rhythm guitars are mixed WAY too low.

[Stormrider]

Yeah, thats true. Rythm giutars are pretty low in the mix. I don't think they wanted the rythms to stcik out as much though...

[shadow_stalker]

Love that album. Nailed To The Wheel and Golden Dawn. \m/

The one thing I don't like about NIME is the production. The rhythm guitars are mixed WAY too low.
I think Fallen angels and all the clowns are my fav tracks off of it, speaking of which

/runs off to put mandrake on

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The priduction isnt s bad as on A Night at The OPera though.

[Riva]

I think the production on Nightfall In Middle Earth is great. It's sort of atmospheric, rather than bad.

[Lord Abortion]

I agree.

[Deth]

I like the production on all of their albums. They all fit the style perfectly.

[Shattered_Future]

The priduction isnt s bad as on A Night at The OPera though.

ANATO doesn't have that bad production...you can hear everything semidecently.

The orchestra is kinda low though...

[Stormrider]

Same here...I don't think production is bad on NIME...and niether on the stuff I've heard from ANATO.

[Shattered_Future]

I still think NIME could be a bit better if you bring up the volume on the rhythm guitars just a tad...

Listening to Heavenly right now. Felt like trying something new. So far, it's not bad...a blatant Rhapsody ripoff, but good nonetheless.

[Mr_Bounce]

Anyone know about Dungeon? They're Australian and power metal, so I feel like I should know them, but I haven't heard any of their stuff.

[Lord Abortion]

Anyone know about Dungeon? They're Australian and power metal, so I feel like I should know them, but I haven't heard any of their stuff.
:lol:

Yeah, you could say they had a small amount of popularity in here.

[Riva]

ya d00d liek dis guy Lord Tim he knows the band or sumthing

[Apocalyptic Raids]

ya d00d liek dis guy Lord Tim he knows the band or sumthing
i dunno i think hes just some noob liar or somefing

[Kids_For_Christ]

Fellas(and Girlas ???) 2 words......Nocturnal Rites....Theyr awesome....

[Trev]

Yeah Nocturnal Rites are pretty damn good.

Listening to Heavenly right now. Felt like trying something new. So far, it's not bad...a blatant Rhapsody ripoff, but good nonetheless.
On the topic of blatent Rhapsody ripoffs, anyone listen to Thy Majestie?

[Mr_Bounce]

Ha, they must be good then :P

[Lord Tim]

Alright then! I'm back!

Yay for the other login just refusing to work... or send me e-mails with my password... or anything, really! Really bizarre!

Anything happen while I was away?

Rock on. :)

[Lord Tim]

i dunno i think hes just some noob liar or somefing

I hate that guy! :angry:

:p

[Lord Abortion]

Some wierd stuff's being happening with the forums getting hacked before, random dudes got banned etc. It'll all be sorted in due time.

I got into Ressurection alot more, and I decided that although Stratovarius were average for the most part, Fantasia really rocks.

Hey and all that:)

[Riva]

Destiny is easily Stratovarius' best album.

[Shattered_Future]

I realized as soon as I get enough money, I'm getting Resurrection. I bought a Galloglass album from the same label, and the amount of extra stuff you get is ridiculous. And I love extra stuff. :)

[Riva]

Yes. Resurrection comes with a poster and a sticker too! However, you don't get a DVD, but rather the Live In Japan CD.

[Stormrider]

The only other Stratovarius album I want at the moment is Episode.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yes. Resurrection comes with a poster and a sticker too!
I didn't get that stuff

:upset:

[Stormrider]

Galloglass..I'm thinking of either ordering(if I ever do) Heaven Seeker or Legends from now and Nevermore. Still not sure which. Any recommendations ?

I finally found a site that I liekd with stuff that had decent prices and very low shipping...amazon.ca :)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Amazon is great, although for me it takes at least two weeks for something to arrive here.

[Stormrider]

Well since it ships from Canada, I think it takes 3-5 days...or something liek that. Could be wrong, I'de have to check.

Amazon usualy don't have the best preices on the net though...

[-The Frank]

Speaking of buying albums, i just bought a whole **** load.
Power metal purchases include:
Angra-temple of shadows
Edguy-Rocket ride
DragonForce-inhuman rampage

Not power metal:
Judas priest- british steel

Good day it was

[Lord Tim]

I didn't get that stuff

:upset:

Gotta be the Limited Edition version for all of the extra cool stuff. :)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Damn my lazy arse for only going to JB haha.

[Riva]

Hey Tim. Check your Dungeon email address and your LORD one. I got onto 'Mute, who was given limited Admin powers, to change your password, and he did. So we can have Lord Tim restored soon, hopefully.

Also, TOUR CAIRNS GAWDAMMIT.

[Lord Tim]

Yep, nothing at all there. The address definitely works... *shrugs*

No biggie - if this one works, then it's all good. :)

[Lord Abortion]

That's a hell of a good haul

British steel is my favourite Priest album bar Painkiller.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I would probably take Stained Class and Screaming For Vengeance over British Steel, it still rules though.

Metal Gods \m/

[Lord Abortion]

Grinder FTW

[Stoic]

Rapid Fire is my favourite off British Steel \m/

[shadow_stalker]

this may sound strange but, the opening guitar chord on 'Rainbow in the dark' by Dio sounds alot like the opening chor to 'burden of grief' by galloglass


yes i am sad :p

I want an Angra album one day. I was surprised to see some in stores. I don't remember which albums it was though. All I remember is that there were very few of them...maybe just like one album.

[Riva]

Yeah, it does actually.

[Deth]

\m/

<3

Metal Gods and Rapid Fire are among Priest's best. I would love for them to put Rapid Fire in their setlist.

[Riva]

I still want them to play Hard As Iron live.

[-The Frank]

I want an Angra album one day. I was surprised to see some in stores. I don't remember which albums it was though. All I remember is that there were very few of them...maybe just like one album.
They sent out the album 'holy lands' through the daily upload, which is what got me into angra in te first place. I could forward ou the link if you like.

[Lord Abortion]

I have Fireworks by Angra..it's alright.

[CaptainWaits]

I want an Angra album one day. I was surprised to see some in stores. I don't remember which albums it was though. All I remember is that there were very few of them...maybe just like one album.
Angra's brilliant! "Temple of Shadows" and "Rebirth" are deffinite albums to eventually own :cool:

[ExitWound]

Can I make a request? Can someone send me some Running Wild? i haven't been able to find any samples other than Real Media format, and i'm not about to touch that (and i can't get them to work in Real Alternative either hmmm).

I'm looking for maybe one or two songs from each album. If you could send something,even clips, to incoming@theexitwound.com , I would be much appreciated :)

[Trev]

^I uploaded Black Hand Inn (remastered) for the daily upload. It'll probably be on tommorows issue so if you haven't signed up already, you should do so :)

Edit - Actually, it was just sent out about 7 minutes ago.

[shadow_stalker]

I sitll havnt got any Angra or running wild


anyone heard 'life and times of a bonus track' by Edguy? its got to be one of their best comedy style songs

[Stormrider]

Angra's brilliant! "Temple of Shadows" and "Rebirth" are deffinite albums to eventually own :cool:

I'll look into those albums then :)

They sent out the album 'holy lands' through the daily upload, which is what got me into angra in te first place. I could forward ou the link if you like.

That would be great, thanks :)

I only have a few songs by them...and out of the 8 or so I have, theres about 3 or 4 that are pretty cool, but still.

[Shattered_Future]

I found Angra kind of meh...few good songs here and there, but nothing that really grabs my attention.

[Stoic]

Speaking of Temple of Shadows, I still cant get what the cover artwork has to do with the concept...

[Riva]

I guess it's a saintly adventurer, riding into the Temple of Shadows, where a dragon awaits.

[ACircuitShock]

So.. got some Rage (Soundchaser) and i'm really digging it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've heard Temple Of Shadows by Angra. It's alright, but it's not really my thing.

[Lord Abortion]

I guess it's a saintly adventurer, riding into the Temple of Shadows, where a dragon awaits.
What more could we ask for from a concept?

[JausmetalJ]

Anyone know Stormwarrior?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ml921S2aO0&search=stormwarrior

Awesome band, awesome song.

[Stoic]

Actually he's Saint George in the orthodox tradition :p

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I have Northern Rage by StormWarrior, it's pretty good.

[JausmetalJ]

Damn, you guys would know any band I could throw at you...

[Stoic]

heh, it's been ages since I saw a new power metal band mentioned in here :-\

[JausmetalJ]

Aww... I can't keep up.

[Riva]

Oh yeah, Orestes, have you heard of Awesome DragonLord eXtreme? Brutal power metal.


I'd be suprised if you had because I just made up the name

[Stormrider]

I've heard of them actually. They're pretty cool.

[Deth]

I want to start a band named that now.

[Shattered_Future]

Awesome Dragonlord eXtreme, eh?

I actually downloaded a couple of Black Majesty tracks...they're pretty good. Signed to LMP Records, same as Dungeon, Rhapsody, whatnot...

[Stormrider]

I want to start a band named that now.

Thats why you fail.

[Deth]

Tell me you don't.

[Stormrider]

I don't...because uh...

uh

:(

[Deth]

I would love to start a full on power metal band. It seems like the most fun genre to play.

[Shattered_Future]

My "band" does almost power metal stuff...

[Deth]

I want a full on Rhapsody style band though.

[Shattered_Future]

Well, get a keyboardist and start working then. :thumb:

Or you could try an orchestra...which reminds me, I gotta get our orchestra over to my house someday.

The orchestra consists of 2 cellos, a bass clarinet, and possibly a violin. :lol:

[Deth]

That's a baby orchestra. I keep mine in the attic. I just throw up a dead dog every day or so to keep them quiet.

[Stormrider]

I'm tempted to say soemthing but I won't. :p

Speeking of orchestra's..it makes me think of the band thing at school. We're going to do this show and I'm the french horn.

[Riva]

I want to start a powermetal band, too, but I don't think I'd use Awesome DragonLord eXtreme, though.

Black Majesty are pretty cool, and Australian too! Let's hope that LMP release some awesome stuff again with the CDs.

I used to play alto and tenor saxophone in the stage band at school.

I tried baritone once, and I think it's on par with tubas in terms of breathing.

If you haven't tried keeping a sustained note on one before, try it. You get pretty giddy after a song or two.

[ACircuitShock]

I'm currently trying to start a folkish power metal band, not easy since i'm only 18 and no one where I live listens to power metal. I got a name thought of allready... Rapscallion. I'm technically allready in a power metal band with some friends, but that isn't going anywhere.

[Slapping Penguin]

Where you live?

Black Majesty are pretty cool, and Australian too! Let's hope that LMP release some awesome stuff again with the CDs.

I have heard their good.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I'd like to be in a proper PM band.

[Trev]

I drum in a Symphonic Power Metal band, but to be honest it's about 60% folk metal, 40% power metal, I'd love to be in a Rhapsody sort of band.

[shadow_stalker]

Yeah, I'd like to be in a proper PM band.
I would love to be in a power metal band aswell, damn metallica fan boys :angry:

[ACircuitShock]

Where you live?


I live out in Washington in the U.S. Worst place to be a power metal kind of guy.

[Stormrider]

I would love to be in a power metal band aswell, damn metallica fan boys :angry:

Yeah, I'd like to be in a proper PM band.

What kind of band are you guys in at the moment ?

NP Thyrfing - Sweoland Conqueror

[shadow_stalker]

What kind of band are you guys in at the moment ?

NP Thyrfing - Sweoland Conqueror
just general metal, we play Maiden, iced earth, metallica...

*breaks down crying and has to wait a minute before he can start again*

starting to learn Cathedral and Black sabbath stuff (think i may have missed something but not sure)


if we could find a keys player we could easily swing towards power metal

[Stormrider]

Oh OK. I don't even have a proper band right now :p

NP Blind Guardian - I'm Alive

[Steerpike]

I'd love to put together a power metal band. But that's not really feasible right now. Maybe when I have more time in my life.

[Shattered_Future]

This weekend, maybe, I'll put the finishing touches on my power metal song. Which involves me recording a whole new guitar part. :lol:

[Deth]

I would even do a one man band if I could play guitar. I need to be able to gratuitiously sweep pick at insane speeds for a power metal band I want to be in.

[Shattered_Future]

Remember, it's not power metal if there's non 16th notes. :p

[Deth]

That's what I'm thinking. Of course I'll need a ballad, but I'll just throw a few chords together will some lyrics about dying in battle.

[Shattered_Future]

Absolutely. The more dragons and unicorns that are included, the better.

Actually, my power metal song has a more emotional than supercrazy solo, mostly because I can't go supercrazy. :upset:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I would make a Speed Metal band instead :cool:

It would be total Agent Steel worship :D

[Deth]

I really love power metal for the fantasy cliches. They're so great.

[Shattered_Future]

They really are...

That may be why Rhapsody is so awesome.

[Deth]

The Magic of the Wizards Dream, Forest of Unicorns, Village of the Dwarves, Wisdom of the Kings, Steelgods of the Last Apocolypse.

That's damn fine cheese.

[Stormrider]

I only have/know 2 Rhapsody songs...they're pretty cool. I need an album from them eventually.

Power metal is my favorite genre.

[Deth]

I don't know how many times I've seen you say that now :p.

I really love power metal, but I find it's overpopulated with mediocre bands.

[Shadows Within]

like who :confused:

[Stormrider]

Say what ? How many Rhapsody songs I have or That PM is my favorite genre ?

I've only said PM is my favorite genre once :p And I don't know about the other one...

:p

EDIT: To Deth

[Deth]

Everytime Rhapsody is mentioned, which is a lot.

In regard to the mediocre bands, I may only like the exceptional ones. If I hear a band like Hammerfall or a Rhapsody ripoff, I can never enjoy it. Maybe I haven't explored the genre enough, but I would say about 50% of the power metal bands I have heard are mediocre or worse. The other half have some of the best music I've ever heard.

[Stormrider]

Yeah you're right...I must stop mentioning it as everyoen knows by now :p

NP Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence

:D

[Apocalyptic Raids]

In regard to the mediocre bands, I may only like the exceptional ones. If I hear a band like Hammerfall or a Rhapsody ripoff, I can never enjoy it.
I'm much the same, although even some of the more highly regarded bands I'm not really a fan of.

[Shattered_Future]

There's a ton of great bands, but even more knockoff bands...

[Riva]

Yeah, but every genre has their knockoffs and imitations.

[Synthetical]

I'm not one to name a certain genre my favorite, and although there are alot of ripoff power metal bands, like you guys have said, the majority of the music I listen to is power metal, and I listen to alot of music.

[Riva]

I listen to a lot of power metal and folk metal these days. It's pretty much overtaken my classic metal. It'll never overtake Pink Floyd though.

Welcome to the forums, anyway. You've made the right choice in posting in this thread.

What're your favourite bands?

[Synthetical]

Nightwish and Sentenced are my all time favorites. Epica too, just because there so damn different, I'll be suprised if anyone has heard of Epica though.

Thanks for the welcome by the way, you guys are damn friendly here.

[Riva]

Epica are relatively well-known. I personally have heard Consign To Oblivion. I see you like female fronted bands. I'm not too fond of them, though I've heard enough. I like them somewhat, Nightwish and After Forever more than most, but the only band I really enjoy operatic female vocals in is Therion, which has plenty of different vocals also.

And it's kind of my job to be friendly. :)

[Slapping Penguin]

Yeah and then when you turn your back he'll put a knife in it! RUN RUN RUN!

><
---

[Synthetical]

I'm impressed. I have a couple Therion CD's and 3 Epica CD's. And yes, I do like female fronted metal bands, and my Megadeth and Iron maiden friends think I'm crazy because of it. Therion is pretty good, but its one of those bands I only like a few songs off the CDs from. You've only heard songs off Consign to Oblivion? I like there older ones better. A good one is Cry for the moon.

If you want a link to the cry for the moon video, I can post it if interested.

[Riva]

Alright. I'll check out their earlier stuff.

[Synthetical]

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7765393167086510999&q=epica

Its a recording of the song, its pretty sweet because they have the whole choir and all of there orchestra there, when in there music videos and live performences they don't.

[ACircuitShock]

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7765393167086510999&q=epica

Its a recording of the song, its pretty sweet because they have the whole choir and all of there orchestra there, when in there music videos and live performences they don't.

I gott say that video is basically awesome. That chick can sing. I've heard of Epica but i had never really heard them before that video. I only know of them from Simone's work in Kamelot. I'll definitley look into getting some because I really liked what I heard.

[Slapping Penguin]

She was hot too :naughty:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Epica has the red-headed girl, right? Maaaan she is hot.

[Synthetical]

Her name is Simone Simmons (Sim-own, I think.) And she took Classical singing lessons because of Nightwish and Tarja Turunen (former lead singer of Nightwish). And yeah, shes damn hot, and I have a thing for redheads. I found em because of Kamelot too, I do my research on the bands I listen to.

I like Yves to, the bassist with the goatee, he just givers'r.

[ACircuitShock]

^ Hell ya she is. I just found out that Kamelot and Epica are coming to Seattle Oct 6th. I am definitley freaking going.

[Lord Abortion]

just general metal, we play Maiden, iced earth, metallica...

Yeah, we're on a swing towards Doom At present.

Yeah, we're on a swing towards Doom At present.

NP-Edguy-Catch of the century.

that song seriously pwns

[Trev]

^Yeah, I got shivers down my spine when Edguy first came on the stage and started playing that song. :)

[Txus]

I'm listening to the album "Hellfire Club" at the moment which I bought yesterday, this is an amazing album I got to say.

NP: Edguy - Lucifer In Love

[Stormrider]

Edguy are awsome. I don't know how many times in here that I said I still havnt gotten Hellfire Club :p

[-The Frank]

Edguy are awsome. I don't know how many times in here that I said I still havnt gotten Hellfire Club :p

I cant find hellfire club anywhere :(. I want that album sooo bad

[Stormrider]

I've seen it lots fo tiems in stores...alogn with Mandrake and Theatre of Salvation. And another one, maybe Savage Poetry or something. I don't remember. Saw the DVD a few times as well.

[Txus]

Hey, I want to buy more DVD's because I'm doing a small music DVD collection and I just realized that I don't have any PM DVD. Just 1 Rata Blanca DVD.

Can someone recommend me some good PM dvd's....

[Stormrider]

My dad has ordered Imaginations Through the Looking Glass :)

Although I havn't seen it, you can get that one if you like Blind Guardian.

[Txus]

I saw a Stratovarius DVD in stores a couple of weeks ago, is it any good? I have no idea how it was called though.

[Shattered_Future]

Epica talk

I never really found anything special about them...they're a good band, but they don't really have any originality. An After Forever knockoff, almost, although that may be because their songwriter was a former AF member...:p

I want to go to the Kamelot/Epica show though. That would be sweet.

[Synthetical]

I feel the exact same way with you, Shattered. But the bands in different places, After Forever has never really thrilled me, they are a good band, but I just like Epica alot more. Personal preference. Your lucky though, the closest Epica and Kamelot are comming to me is a few provinces over. Ahh, nobody good ever comes down here.

[Stormrider]

Kamelot are coming here here sometime soon....

[shadow_stalker]

Kamelot are coming to play a show in England...oh wait, no they arent :upset:

[Lord Abortion]

*any power metal band we haven't seen yet*are coming to play a show in England...oh wait, no they arent :upset:
fixed.

[Riva]

Its a recording of the song, its pretty sweet because they have the whole choir and all of there orchestra there, when in there music videos and live performences they don't.

Cool song. Incidentally, what Therion albums do you have?

I want to go to the Kamelot/Epica show though. That would be sweet.

Do you like Within Temptation? I saw an album of theirs at a record store, and they definitely look like an After Forever knock-off.

[Lord Abortion]

Do you like Within Temptation? I saw an album of theirs at a record store, and they definitely look like an After Forever knock-off.
It's more like the other way round, WT are a gothic metal band, and are much better known worldwide than After Forever

[Riva]

Gothic metal ftl, you mean. :p

[Shattered_Future]

Do you like Within Temptation? I saw an album of theirs at a record store, and they definitely look like an After Forever knock-off.

Don't get me started on them...

Let's just say they have no originality, no writing skills, and basically a lack of everything that makes a band a band.

[Riva]

Ah good thing I didn't buy it then. I wasn't really tempted though.

[Shattered_Future]

Ah good thing I didn't buy it then. I wasn't really tempted though.

Which album, mind you?

[JausmetalJ]

Ah good thing I didn't buy it then. I wasn't really tempted though.
Lol, Within Temptation.

I get it.

I don't mind them much..

Never heard after forever though.

[Shattered_Future]

Think Within Temptation, just better in every single way possible.

[Synthetical]

"Cool song. Incidentally, what Therion albums do you have?"

Sirius B and Lemuria, Riva - They came together in a dual CD pack, pretty cheap too so I grabbed it, in this small city we only have one good music store and all the good metal bands can rack up to about $40. Rhapsody CD cost me that. Therion pack was only about $20.

While Britany Spears and Eminem go for $12...

[JausmetalJ]

Cool Shattered, Ill check them out.

That sucks Synthetical.

Cd's are so over priced, its not funny.

[Synthetical]

Cool Shattered, Ill check them out.

That sucks Synthetical.

Cd's are so over priced, its not funny.

Yeah, makes it hard sometimes not to pirate the whole CD instead. I make it a general rule if they're good they deserve my money. I had to do that with Consign to Oblivion before I traveled up to a bigger CD to pick it up, because they would only sell and order it for me, for about $50. FOR A CD!

[Slapping Penguin]

I have being listening to alot of Running Wild lately. Anyone else dig?

NP: War & Peace - Running Wild

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I like teh Running Wild.

[Captain Quentin]

ive only got the rivalry and black hand inn, but ive hardly listened to them
can anyone recommend some tracks off those albums?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

For Black Hand Inn, the title track, Fight The Fire Of Hate and Mr. Deadhead are my favourites.

[Slapping Penguin]

Off the Rivalry, War & Peace, The Rivalry, Firebreather and Adventure Gallery ;)

I felt this was mabye best in the power metal thread since we all love orchestras in here. I really want to start a Metal covers band, that covers movie orchestral soundtracks. Because I like to listen to many of them esepically Hans Zimmers work and after listening I really think how cool would this pieces be metal wise with adding headbaning. Common Gladiator and The Rock anyone?

[Riva]

"Cool song. Incidentally, what Therion albums do you have?"

Sirius B and Lemuria, Riva - They came together in a dual CD pack, pretty cheap too so I grabbed it, in this small city we only have one good music store and all the good metal bands can rack up to about $40. Rhapsody CD cost me that. Therion pack was only about $20.

While Britany Spears and Eminem go for $12...

Exactly my situation. My friend is from Canada.

I have Secret Of The Runes, Lemuria, Beyond Sanctorum, Sirius B, Theli, and Vovin. I'm currently looking for the rest. I bought Lemuria and Sirius B seperately. Awesome, awesome band. :p

Which album, mind you?

The Silent Force.

Running Wild Talk

Black Hand Inn is a great album. I believe a clever fellow reviewed it on Sputnik.

How can you not put Dragonmen as a recommend song? It's brilliant.

[Lord Abortion]

Port Royal is floating my boat at the moment...If you'll excuse the shameful pun.

:lol:

come to think of it, I haven't listened to Running Wild in quite a while.

[Trev]

Running Wild rule. I was listening to Blazon Stone on my CD player at college on Friday, great stuff.

..Yes, I only have a portable CD player :(

I uploaded Black Hand Inn for the mailing list, it'll still be active if anyone wants it.

[Lord Abortion]

I wouldn't mind, old chap

[Riva]

Oh, I see why you preferred Port Royal, Ollie. You haven't heard Black Hand Inn yet. All is forgiven. :)

NP: Therion - Asgard

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I haven't got round to finding it as of yet.

[Riva]

S'all right. S'all good. I forgive you.

[Captain Quentin]

thats for the reccommendations, ill get listening :)

[Stormrider]

..Yes, I only have a portable CD player :(

Same here...I'm happy with that and my cd's right now. I don't really want an mp3 player :p

Riva, do you still have those Therion links that you posted in here ?

[Riva]

They've expired, I imagine.

[Stormrider]

Oh yeah...forgot about that...

Can you just name me a few songs then, I have to check them out. Thanks.

[Riva]

Try out Midgard, The Khlysti Evangelist, Summer Night City (Awesome cover of an ABBA song), Nightside Of Eden, The Rise Of Sodom And Gommorah and Lemuria.

Each of those songs is from a different album.

[Stormrider]

Thanks. I'll check those out...

[Deth]

Yeah, Running Wild is great. I downloaded Black Hand Inn yest, and it's just fantastic.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Under Jolly Roger is awesome, and the title track is probably my favourite RW song.

[Stormrider]

Jolly Roger Bay !

/mario 64 memories

:p

[Vortigon]

^Amazing, I've been playing that all day. I'm on Tall Tall Mountain at the moment. And yes Running Wild are awesome.

[Synthetical]

Damn, I can't find any of this Running Wild stuff, and everyone here seems to like. I feel left out! Limewire isn't really turning anything up - If anyone wants to be nice and send some to Synthetical_@hotmail.com, I'd be real greatful.

And Uthark Runa is my favorite Therion song.

[Trev]

Sent Black Hand Inn. I might upload something else to the daily upload if I can be bothered.

[Shattered_Future]

Under Jolly Roger is awesome, and the title track is probably my favourite RW song.

Cannons Firing!

I love it. So classic. :lol:

Good song from Lemuria.

My favorite Therion song at the moment (Note that this changes daily :p) is In Desert Of Set

[Riva]

Good song from Theli. My favourite, actually.

Thanks Trev, I owe you one.

Running Wild reminds me of something classic that would get me into metal, if I would have heard of them back then. Really good band, definetly on my playlist.

[Slapping Penguin]

thanks Jono

[Riva]

Yeah, Running Wild are definitely something worthwhile introducing people to. Very catchy, musically great band.

[Slapping Penguin]

I love Siberian Winter, a great track. They have those two differend writing styles through. One very rocky classic metal the other the more epic power metal sounding stuff. Although I think this is a great element to a band, having two writing styles in RW case I personally perfer their more epic sounding tracks.

[Riva]

I love their dirty classic metal stuff. Great.

Do you like the song Dragonmen then?

[Slapping Penguin]

Well I just finshed downloading Black Hand Inn then and I must say I love it. I had only the Rivarly, Victory and The Brotherhood. I like Dragonmen Jason, I think if you have heard the albums I have, you will know what I mean about the classical rocky metal style on them. I perfered the more epic stuff because on those albums the other style is kinda, well like ac/dc etc. Very unheadbangable, epic or exciting.

This Black Hand in through is great. Don't get me wrong I love classic metal its just on the albums I metioned above some of the tracks in that style are very poor.

[Riva]

Yeah, it's a great song.

Don't you like AC/DC?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

AC/DC > *

****ing caps filter. :mad:

[Captain Quentin]

Riva, im not too happy about your choice in avatar :p

[Slapping Penguin]

Don't you like AC/DC?

Yes, not very Australian of me. I don't not like them (poor english) just well, I don't really go for that Stadium rock sound much, not often does it wet my panties. :naughty: Alot of tunes of RW's Brotherhood, Rivalry, Vicotry have that sounda lot.

NP: Richard Wagner - Ride of the Valykries (Any man who would do his mrs to this would be an absoleute god in my book)

I can't stand AC/DC, the lyrics are beyond Atrocious.

You both digust me :mad:

Anyone listen to Power Quest? In my opinion, them and Freedom Call are possibly the cheesiest power metal bands around. Which I love. :)

I've heard Power Quest were just a Dragonforce knockoff, but that's probably because one or two of their memberse are ex-Dragonheart guys. Recommend and album to me...GO.

[Trev]

Yeah a couple of members of Dragonheart are in Power Quest, but they're not really that similar. They only have 3 albums, I'd probably recommend Neverworld.

Alright, I'll check it out. I'm a big fan of cheese.

Aye, cheese is always good.

Is that Fabio I see in your avater?

[MetalOz]

Are Dungeon albums hard to get a hold of now? I tried to order A Rise to Power...

We wanted to let you know that there is a delay with some items in the order you placed on April 25 2006

[Shattered_Future]

I've seen copies of A Rise To Power in this cd store near me...I wouldn't think they'd be backed up.

[Riva]

There was only one copy left on Amazon, when I ordered Resurrection.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Are Dungeon albums hard to get a hold of now? I tried to order A Rise to Power...
They shouldn't be too hard to find online. Resurrection and Rising Power (a compilation) are very easy to find instore here. I've never seen One Step Beyond or A Rise To Power in store though.

[MetalOz]

Yay!!! A Rise to Power just shipped!

I also have Dreamaker - Enclosed on the way as well... I'll let you know if it's good. I like the ones posted on their website (former vocalist from Dark Moor)

[Lord Tim]

You can get ARTP, OSB and Resurrection directly from LMP: http://www.limb-music.de

Rising Power is a little trickier though. Try http://www.hot-rockin.com to see if they have any more stock. As far as I know, that's completely out of print now.

And look out for The Final Chapter later on in the year. That's shaping up to be (ironically) the best Dungeon album ever. :)

[G_Mac07]

I've never seen Rising Power in stores.:( For a long time I didn't see OSB either, but now that it's become available, ARTP seems to have disappeared. It's odd.

Hey LT, while your here, would you happen to know of anywhere I could look to try and get my hands on an original pressing of Resurrection? I've been keeping an eye out for it on ebay etc, but haven't had any luck thus far.

[Lord Abortion]

Hey Tim, good to hear the new album is going well.

can't wait to hear it

[Lord Tim]

Good luck finding the original Resurrection anywhere. I know a few people who managed to score it on eBay though.

I gotta say, it's pretty dreadful - serious collectors item only!

[G_Mac07]

I gotta say, it's pretty dreadful - serious collectors item only!

That's why I want it so much. :p

Hearing the comparison between the two would be cool, I think, and getting to hear Let It Go is an added bonus. I'll keep the search up.

NP: Blind Guardian - Theatre Of Pain

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah I would be interested in the original too.

[Riva]

Hey, Lord Tim, check your email regarding the merge of your accounts.

[Cocaine]

I just gave Sabaton a second chance, and I'm glad I did.

While there's definitely better stuff out there, it's still great.

[Slapping Penguin]

Lord Tim will you be playing at Metal for the Brain in Cnabbera this year, oh please do.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hey, Dom. It's actually called "Canberra"

Just so you know :thumb:

[Lord Tim]

Well, no bands have been picked for MFTB yet, but I'd say we'll likely be there. :)

Hey, Lord Tim, check your email regarding the merge of your accounts.

Ooh! Neato! :thumb:

No sign of the e-mail though... I think my mail has some kind of attitude problem or something! :rolleyes:

[Slapping Penguin]

Yes, I didn't go to last year, but appatently when you were Dungeon you put up a great show, show I just wanna see you play.

Hey, Dom. It's actually called "Canberra"

Just so you know

Hahaha, I didn't even notice how I spelt it.

[JausmetalJ]

Does MFTB come to Melb?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't think so.

[JausmetalJ]

) :<

[Apocalyptic Raids]

way to trip me out with the smiley :(

[JausmetalJ]

Hahaha, im yooneek

[Lord Abortion]

I'm starting to get into Ressurection now... again, the live versions of the tracks have helped me get into them. Paradise, I am Death, Legend of a huma and the title track all have an added imputus live that allows me to appreciate the studio versions more.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I agree.

Especially with the title track and I Am Death. The little extra bit of speed makes them heaps better.

[G_Mac07]

I've kind of gone off Paradise lately, in the same way that Maiden fans stop listening to Run To The Hills, I think. The Legend of Huma is so incredibly good though. \m/

I was going to see Dungeon at Brisbane MFTB last year, but they found out the day before that it was 18+. I was very pissed off.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

haha, I'm the same with Paradise. I used to listen to it non-stop.

[shadow_stalker]

Whenever i read a Dragonlance book i put on the the under the rising sun cd, so i can listen to 'legend of huma' and 'netherlife (black roses die)'


good god i am sad :p

[Lord Tim]

You guys should talk, I'm the nerd who wrote 'em both! :p

[shadow_stalker]

yeah but they are awesome songs, the fact i actually sit and listen to them while reading the books is just really bad

[Riva]

I never got into Dragonlance. I really like the Forgotten Realms ones, like the Icewind Dale trilogy, the Drizzt books and Elminster: The Making of a Mage.

[Shattered_Future]

I never really liked fantasy books, though hack n slash games go well with power metal...

NP - Kamelot - Memento Mori. Love this song...

[ACircuitShock]

I could never get into to Dragonlance either. I had heard good things about R.A Salvatore and Drizzt so I borrowed the Dark Elf trilogy from a friend of mine, but he warned me they weren't as good as everyone said. man he was right, those books bored the hell out of me. I'll never understand what people see in R.A Salvatore. Want some good fantasy? Go read G.R.R. Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire series, phenomenally written political/high fantasy.

And you claim to like power metal...

[Shattered_Future]

Yes, but there's only a certain level of cheese I can take. Power metal tops it off.

[ACircuitShock]

Only the bad fantasy books are cheesy (like Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms). The good ones have realistic characters.

[Shattered_Future]

I dunno, though, the whole fantasy genre seems cheesy to me...

I will admit I like sci-fi books though. :p

[Deth]

I don't read much fantasy. I read science fiction and classics more.

[ACircuitShock]

Sci-fi does rock as well. Dune is amazing.

[Synthetical]

I like Dragonlance, I havent had a chance for Forgotten Realms yet - Sci Fi is pretty cool also.

And Memento Mori was pratically made for hack n slash. Its pretty much my favorite Kamelot song.

[Slapping Penguin]

I like Historical Fiction. Personally a fan of Bernad Cornwell at the moment.

[Silenius]

For it's three authors. Tolkien, Robert Jordan and Michael Moorcock.

[Riva]

Heh, if by amazing you mean well-worn conventions couched in cliches.

Good fantasy is David Eddings, easily.

Robert "Each book is getting longer" Jordan is alright, heh.

[shadow_stalker]

Only the bad fantasy books are cheesy (like Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms). The good ones have realistic characters.
Hey Dragonlance books rock


anyone ever tried to read the wheel of time books? i almost fell asleep reading the first one. i had to stop readin them, i couldnt read 12+ books written like that

Axis trilogy by Sarah Douglas owns (despite the sheer volume of incest in them)

[Riva]

Yeah, that's what I meant about Robert Jordan, hehe.

So then, I've decided that Therion's best album is Secret Of The Runes.

[shadow_stalker]

I still cant get into Therion, i cant stand their singer

but i didnt like nightwish first time i heard them so maybe i have to hear a certain song (or it will be like blind guardian in which case i will never like them no matter how much i listen)

[Riva]

Which singer? They've had more than Priest's had drummers. :p
