You're telling us to buy it when you didn't? SUPPORT THE POWER METAL ARTISTS. They feed on nothing but worms and dirt as it is.

I'm going to buy it as soon as i can. Devon isn't the best place for finding bands like these :) . The heaviest band in my local record shop is Good Charlotte :upset: . I think i'm gonna have to buy this one off the internet.

...which is where you should buy ALL your music. Save money overall. I bought one power metal disc locally (Somewhere Out in Space - Gamma Ray), but they had to order it from Germany to get it. I had to wait a week for it. I've bought every other one online and I pay less and get them faster.

Check out Ballistic, some good USPM.

Here's their demo: [url]http://www.gattismetal.com/ballistic/music.htm[/url]

[QUOTE=rik]DRAGON FORCE

I'm on the guest list for their gig in London in October :cool:[/QUOTE]

I have met Dragonforce :D well sam and Herman they rule very kool guys

[QUOTE]Absolutely awesome man. I bought *cough*downloaded*cough* that album a couple of days ago and i haven't stop listening to it since. I swear i could listen to Metallic Tragedy (the song) forever. If you guys haven't got this yet go out and buy it NOW.[/QUOTE]

Another Magic Kingdom fan. Sweet. :cool:

My local music stores are pretty good, so I've yet to buy any power metal online. Though I've yet to find any reasonably priced Helloween albums (42.99 CND for Better Then Raw) so I'll probably order the Keeper albums through Amazon or something.

Not that you people care :)

$43?! Ouch, that's rape.. And you can't send them to jail or anything. :(

good lord.....id say i bought over 10 Helloween albums and paid a grand total of $50 lol, i order mine used of course! :)

Yeah, i bought 5 for $60 odd AU. ****... There are some scam artists in this world. I suggest you don't buy that album, Hitro, on principle. Unless ofcourse you are a rich or your currency is worth **** all. :p

dragonforce are doing a headline tour around the uk end of this year :thumb:

I'm going to see Dragon Force in Exeter in October. They are playing at a tiny club called The Cavern so I might get to meet some of them. It's the first time a band that talented have ever played anywhere near me :thumb:

Yerp i love Magic Kingdom! i only found out about them like a week ago and they are currently my favourite band based on Metallic Tragedy. is there first album any good? I might order that with Metallic Tragedy off Amazon. What's your favourite song of theirs, just out of interest?

anyone into Human Fortress yet? kind of dark for power metal, but very unique. ive brought them up a few times before with a limited response hehe. also, Pagen's mind...not to much being said about them either. just something new to talk about! haha

Frail where do you order your CD's online? I need somewhere to order from. I don't have a credit card either. :(

I'm going to see Dragonforce in October at the Bierkeller in Bristol seeing as I mised out on seeing them when they toured with W.A.S.P a few weeks ago.


Also, I read somewhere the Glen Hughes (ex-Black Sabbath) sings for Rata Blanca? Has he always sung for them or is it something new?

Has anyone heard of the David Shankle Group? I've only heard one song (Ashes to Ashes) and would like to know if they're worth checking out further.

From that song, they're not power metal in a Sonata Arctica/Stratovarius style, but reminded me more of Iron Maiden (with a less impressive vocalist and some keyboards). Seemed like the place to ask.

I've never heard of them. :confused:

I've been listening to some Angra lately. Hmm...I don't know if I really like them. They're alright I guess.

I need to download some of Frail's suggestions soon.

I don't mind Angra. I have Fireworks and it's a good album.

I've never heard their first album, nor been able to find it online (Amazon doesn't have it). The same goes with the guitarist's side project (Iron Mask, I think it's called).

My favorite song? Hard to say. The title track is really nice, along with Child of the Nile. But my favorite is probably Flying Pyramids.

I have put them on my 'to look into list'... Finally. :p

Have you done any probing at all into Grave Digger?

haha, no not yet...im busy saving for my trip to England in two weeks so ive been limiting myself to only like 3 cds a week as opposed to 6 or so lol. Plus, ive been on an obsessive classic rock binge for awhile, when that fades (every binge does!) than ill be digging into some of it.

PS: ill be seeing Mr.Tony Iommi front row in T-minue 12 days :thmb: not to forget Halford, Slayer, and Dimmu :)

[QUOTE=RideTheSpiral]I've never heard of them. :confused:[/QUOTE]

David Shankle used to be in Manowar, if that helps.

Frail - when are you coming to England? (Enjoy that show, looks good).

i will be in England (London area im staying in, but we will be going all over...Scotland as well) August 14-22 :) and i will be enjoing the show two days before i leave!

I checked out some Human Fortress clips on their site, it didn't sound really dark. But they were just small samples. I'm about to listen to Pagan's Mind on Limp-music.de after this Angra song is done.

NP: Angra - "Unholy Wars"

i like Pagen's Mind more than i do Human Fortress, its not that they sound dark...just not as chipper as most power metal bands.

I listened to teh Pagan's Mind samples on Limp-music.de, it was alright. Some cool stuff, but I think some of teh vox were weak. Man, I'm listening to Angra again.
Frail, do you have Soulseek?

NP: Angra - "Z.I.T.O"

no soulseek :( but i do like some Angra, i still need to pick up another album of theirs one of these days.

Angra - *shudders*

After listening to Angra I feel it necissary to to put on a pink tutu and do a little ballet dance. Yeah, I don't really enjoy them at all, although they are more manly that Skylark, (if only JUST) who i think must have the smallest testicles in metal. (even 'small testicles' is pretty **** generous).

Alright, speaking of women in metal :p, who do you all think are the biggest puffs running around in power metal nowdays. I think it is skylark: Power metal from Italy (go figure).

Yeah, awesome.

Timo Kotipelto can pull of some pretty feminine poses.
