Thank you for caring :)

not too fond of that website though

although slightly slower than YSI the uploading proccess is much better. I would upload them on YSI but it wont let Steerpike download anything :(

Now begins the download process.

I hope you like them as much as I do :)

I've listened to one song, and I can already safely say that if there is any justice in the world, these guys will catch on very soon.

I'm putting them in the queue for one of my spotlights. There's a few other bands in front of them, but they will be on the list.

You know, they've been around for 15 years and they have released 5 albums since 1996. Recognition should have already come. They're well known in the underground though and their live performances are awesome. Jondur said they play in a club in front 60 people as if they were playing in front of 6000! The unfortunate thing about them is that they're americans and the US is not the ideal place for a heavy metal band.

BestBuy satisfied me for a while...had a decent selection at great prices.

Now, they have nothing i want...so I'm stuck with Tower Records, which has a semi-better selection, but with beefed up prices.

I gotta start using Amazon more...
Amazon is too ****ing slow. I ordered two CDs there two weeks ago. I just got an order update from them saying they'll be shipped by the beginning of August. :angry: At least they make up for it by having every CD known to man.

Embarking on the quest of metal is very hard here in the US, unless you're into Slipknot and Korn.

It's an auxiliary language invented in Eastern Europe about a century ago. The only place its spoken now is the Russo-Carpathian regions because so many areas there are polyglot. It 5x easier to learn than Spanish, and it's based on Latin, so it makes a convenient trade language for people who grow up in regions where 3 or more languages are equally common.

So, I was just relistening to the Suidakra album that Neuro uploaded. Man, these guys rock. Seriously. What a fantastic album, and it's based on the Celtic myths of the UK, which is a bonus.

"Somewhere Far Beyond" and previous albums, I find better than most of the newer material Blind Guardian released. Though BG is in my top 5 favorite bands, so everything they've released I'll buy :)

I think it's about time bodom's genre got a real name, like extreme power metal or something. I think it's starting to get big enough. I'm a big fan of the genre, with my favorites being Bodom, Norther, and you can even argue that Wintersun is highly powermetal influenced. Skyfire and Imperanon are bands that have potential for the future, I think they will turn into something good.

Would you put Kalmah with these bands? I'd almost consider them melodic death, but you could argue it is extreme power metal like the others.

I automatically put Kalmah in the same area as I put Norther, Wintersun, Imperanon and Skyfire. The vocals might be a little different, but overall, I think they are pretty alike.

I think for Bodom's genre we should make up something. Like Reaper Metal or something. :lol: Pretty lame, but there you are.

I think Extreme Power Metal makes sense, and it's way easier to say than Power/speed with harsh vocals. Kalmah though has a much more dissonant sound than the others, and more blastbeats. It's hard to hear any upbeat powermetal melodies like in the others.

True, Extreme Power Metal sounds good. But I do think they have a little thrash (in their older stuff) and some melodeth in them.

Kalmah is different, but I don't think they are different enough to be considered entirely in another genre.

I actually like accents. It usually gives the music an added color. Glenn Danzig, Rolf Kasparek, Timo Kotipelto, Tarja Turunen, Nils Johansson, Joakim Broden... They all let their accents slip into their singing and it always sounds awesome.

EDIT: Okay, I need to bump this thread to make a call out to the power metal community. On Sunday, I'm putting up the new Featured Genre thread on power metal.

The problem is that my modem is sitll being a bitch and won't stay uploaded long enough for me to make the necessary uploads. So I'm calling on all of you to help me out here. The thread goes up Sunday morning and I need you guys to deal with the uplaods for the sake of the community.

Here's the deal. Take first dibs one or two of the following bands below and upload two or more songs by them when the thread goes up in two days. First come, first serve. However if there are more bands you want to upload, feel free. These are merely the ones I feel need to be mentioned.

Blind Guardian - Stoic
Helloween
Stratovarius
Nightwish - Arucard
Rhapsody
Savatage
Manowar
Iced Earth
Children of Bodom - Arucard

As I said, call dibs on one are two of these. And if you have other bands you want to upload in addition, go for it.

As for Wuthering Heights, around Tuesday or Wednesday next week, I cna rip songs from the new CD to my brother's computer and upload from there. It will take a few days, but at least it will get done.

Can i do some Bodom and Demons and Wizards uploads? I can upload some track of Wishmaster too.

Steerpike

07-22-2005, 12:33 PM

Go for it.

That's cool that Power Metal will be the next featured genre, I look foward to it. Don't forget to mention the extreme power metal like Bodom, Norther, etc.

I take Blind Guardian but dont hate me if my computer dies. I'll try to upload some tomorrow morning and if I have problem I'll immediately post here so as there's time for someone else to take care of it. Is this ok? How many songs are supposed to upload?

Are there any bands in particular I should put you down for?

Is any of you familiar with Tad Morose? In only I could find Modus Vivendi...

Hmm... a Duke, you say?

EDIT: Okay, I need to bump this thread to make a call out to the power metal community. On Sunday, I'm putting up the new Featured Genre thread on power metal.

The problem is that my modem is sitll being a bitch and won't stay uploaded long enough for me to make the necessary uploads. So I'm calling on all of you to help me out here. The thread goes up Sunday morning and I need you guys to deal with the uplaods for the sake of the community.

Here's the deal. Take first dibs one or two of the following bands below and upload two or more songs by them when the thread goes up in two days. First come, first serve. However if there are more bands you want to upload, feel free. These are merely the ones I feel need to be mentioned.

Blind Guardian - Stoic
Helloween
Stratovarius
Nightwish - Arucard
Rhapsody
Savatage
Manowar
Iced Earth
Children of Bodom - Arucard

As I said, call dibs on one are two of these. And if you have other bands you want to upload in addition, go for it.

As for Wuthering Heights, around Tuesday or Wednesday next week, I cna rip songs from the new CD to my brother's computer and upload from there. It will take a few days, but at least it will get done.

D*mmit :(

I want to help out with the Power Metal thread so bad, but with a 49.2 dial-up, it's pretty tough to get uploads :upset:

Sorry I can't be contributing to your thread Steer, but I would if I could.

Stoic

I own Helloween's keeper 1 + 2, plus they're 2003 release rabbit don't come easy, so I could cover those uploads since I'm sure the keeper tracks are the ones you want uploaded correct?

Shattered_Future

07-22-2005, 02:29 PM

I got every Nightwish album cept Angels Fall First and their live one...I'm sure i could help out there.

Also have Helloween's greatest hits...

A few Rhapsody and Stratovarius mp3s...

And Iced Earth's The Dark Saga. Whatever you need, just let me know. :)

Stoic

07-22-2005, 02:32 PM

Personally I think Walls of Jericho, both Keepers and the Dark Ride are Helloween's best, so anything off the Keepers would be a good pick.

ElectricalStorm

07-22-2005, 02:41 PM

It would be cool if someone could upload some stuff off Walls of Jericho, I always wanted that album.

I could also help out with Rhapsody (I own Dawn of Victory)

Terrorzone

07-22-2005, 04:56 PM

Has anyone heard anything off the new Helloween?

Stoic

07-22-2005, 05:06 PM

Actually WetNoodle uploaded Mrs God yesterday. You can find the link in the previous page. Like I said I didnt like it at all. How about you?

07-22-2005, 06:04 PM

I've allways wondered wheter queensryche are power metal or prog, they seem to have influences from both.

Stoic

07-22-2005, 06:05 PM

They have influences I suppose from both genres but in general they're classified as prog.

chorbalan

07-22-2005, 06:09 PM

Well that settles that then. Can't wait till I see them in September.

Cain

07-22-2005, 10:29 PM

Well that settles that then. Can't wait till I see them in September.

Well, I don't know about prog...at least not in the way we know it. They certainly wrote a stellar concept album, but I don't think they're quite prog metal.

In all honesty, they're prog and power-metal sounding, but they sounded that way before those classifications even existed.

Stoic

07-23-2005, 06:48 AM

hey Steerpike I uploaded some BG songs and maybe I'll upload a few more later. Do you want me to post the links here or send them to you by e-mail?

Riva

07-23-2005, 07:19 AM

I still haven't heard any Elvenking... anyone who feels nice enough to upload?

Stoic

07-23-2005, 07:21 AM

I can upload the song I downloaded from the folk FA, but it might take a while (slow PC) :)

Riva

07-23-2005, 07:27 AM

Hehe, if you want, you may. :)

Just hold on to them until tomorrow. I'll post the big FG, and I'm trusting on the power metal community to provide the uploads.

Riva

What do you require from me, O Alex of the Many Words!

EDIT: Awesome track, Stoic. I'll see if I can dig up more later.

On the previous page, there's a list of bands that have to be covered. However, I also encourage the power metalheads around here to upload songs from other great power metal bands as well. Angra, Kamelot, Dungeon, Gamma Ray, Tarot, whatever you've got.

My modem is still too wonky to upload anything, so I need the help of the community.

On a side note, the Wuthering Heights thread is going to be a little late. Most of the sites I was using for info are down.

Hehe, I'll go for Kamelot, Tarot and whatever I can pick up on the previous page.

My contributions:
Kamelot (various songs)
Tarot (various songs)
Stratovarius (the entirity of Destiny, perhaps)
Manowar \m/ (most of the songs I uploaded in my FA)
Dream Evil (various songs)

----------------
On a side note, let's give each other ridiculously power metal names.

Steepike is Prince Alexi "Grimflame" Steerpike
Stoic is Sir [insert first name] ElvenKing
Lord Abortion is Duke Oliver Abortion (original!)
Rumboy is Boyd, Squire of Rumley

07-23-2005, 08:11 AM

I can upload some Dungeon, Galloglass, Human Fortress, 3 Inches of Blood, Sonata Arctica and some Attacker for the thread if needed.

Riva

07-23-2005, 08:14 AM

Galloglass pwns all. What's your favourite song, Lord Andrew Brummington of the Black Sabbath? Mine has to be Dragon's Revenge.

Stoic

07-23-2005, 08:17 AM

Human Fortress

Upload the whole defenders of the crown album! :evil:

That would be great because it's been difficult for me to locate Dungeon and Galloglass despite the unanimously glwoing reviews.

You need a name too. Duke Jason, Keeper of the Mayhem.

07-23-2005, 08:18 AM

I've only been able to get 3 songs by them, Kings Who Die is probably my favourite.

If I had the whole album I would, I've only got about half of it.

Same here.

By the way, my dad promised to work on my modem later today, so with any luck it will stop being a bitch very soon and I cna make some contributions myself.

Until then, keep planning the uploads. We're going to make this a kick-*** FG.

Could you upload around half of it please? I'm not so keen on downloading whole albums...

I've got the outline down. Which is how I write the vast majority of my articles. I prefer to use spontaneity when writing. Forces me to use more wit to keep it interesting.

Stoic

07-23-2005, 09:01 AM

I cant write this way. I have to put a lot of thought before writing a sentence and an article (in english at least) would take time. I wish my english was as good as my greek :p

Pretty much. We're also rallying on uploads for the Featured Genre I'm posting tomorrow. Even though my modem is working again, I thought it would be best to have the entire power metal community contributing the best songs they can find to the list of uploads.
