[QUOTE=Stoic]jesus christ, this band reminds me of something, I must have listened to a couple of samples in the past. What is a representative song off this album?[/QUOTE]
The Chosen was the first song I heard and it made me get the album, you can hear it on their myspace

haha, it can be a bitch sometimes, like on certain occasions it'll stick to "buffering"

[url]http://www.thymajestie.com/eng/index2.htm[/url]

That's their site, it's got some mp3s on it. I'm also sharing the album on soulseek

Yeah I saw the site but "The Chosen" is not available for download and since it was the one that got you into the album, it's the first I want to listen to as well. What's your soulseek username?

not bad at all man! The vocalist accent is pretty sweet and the solo/symphonic parts quite enjoyable (although in overall nothing THAT mind blowing or refreshing). Positive first (although I swear I have listened to them before at some point!) impression, I shall check out for more :)

I've just made myself my lil Power Metal dedicated cd, with the likes of Angra, Blind Guardian, Dragon Force, Seven Witches and Sonata Arctica.

All bands I've checked out recently except for Blind Guardian. Good stuff.

Alright, so I'm looking for a little help...

My local CD store has a few CD's in of bands where I've heard of the band, but haven't actually had a listening experience with the band. So I'm asking for your help! They are...

Nocturnal Rites - Afterlife
Vanishing Point - ??? (something "Dream")

Any good? And what are they comparable too??

Nocturnal Rites - Afterlife ... KILLER album! Speedy, downtuned, aggressive but melodic power metal with excellent vocals!

Vanishing Point - Tangled In Dream ... good album, melodic metal with slight prog and power elements. Good hooks in the songs, but a little inconsistent production-wise in place. Solid album, though.

:)

Greatly appreciate the advice:)

Who are the two comparable too, Band wise??

Nocturnal Rites... ****, that's hard. Think of a raspy style singer a bit like Tony Martin or some of Mamsteen's early vocalists, music which is speedy like Gamma Ray with the same kind of hooks but a heavy Arch Enemy style production and crunch. Great stuff!

VP... Hmm... again, really hard to describe. They toured with Sonata Arctica quite a few years ago (before disappearing off the planet for about 3 years) and that match was fairly good, although they're not as speedy as SA and the vocals are much lower. I couldn't really think of a band off-hand they sound like. Dungeon did quite a few shows with them and that music just always reminds me of them more than anyone else, so I don't know if I'd be the best person to ask, to be honest!

EDIT: They'd likely have some samples up at [url]http://www.vanishing-point.com.au[/url] I'd say!

Man, I love Sonata Arctica...

I'm seeing Dragonforce, Edguy and Sabaton tomorrow.

Fuc[COLOR="SlateGray"]k[/COLOR]in' metal!!

Edguy! \m/

I miss those guys! :(

You deserve to die for being English. Seriously. :mad:

Either you die, or tell some of these bands to come here.

Alright, that settles it. Soon as I can, I'm moving to Europe.

Just curious...Stoic, is Blind Guardian your favorite band ?[/QUOTE]

2007?????

We maybe, MAYBE, MAYBE might have a chance of going then. Friends should be old enough to have their full licenses.

Stoic gave me that in the BG thread a little while ago. It does say its a rough schedule though...

NP Dragon Force - Soldiers of the Wasteland

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]NP Dragon Force - Soldiers of the Wasteland[/QUOTE]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG BLIND GUARDIAN IS COMING TO THE US!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek:

/begins waiting/hunt for tickets

[QUOTE=Josh]hopefully, they're gonna play that tomorrow night. can't wait.[/QUOTE]

I should have checked these guys out earlier...im realy liking them. I was surprise to see they only had 3 albums though.

/is a Dragon Force noob.

They played it at Manchester, and blimey, it's brilliant live.

d[I]a[/I]mn BG, they're going to Turkey and not coming here :mad:

IMO, the first 2 albums are better. i really like the third, but it's just not as good.

I agree. I also found that the choruses in Inhuman Rampage arn't as catchy.

[QUOTE=Josh]IMO, the first 2 albums are better. i really like the third, but it's just not as good.[/QUOTE]

Then I'll start by getting one of the 2 first then...

[QUOTE=Postman Pie]I agree. I also found that the choruses in Inhuman Rampage arn't as catchy.[/QUOTE]
i would agree on that, it's not so much of a sing-along album as the other 2.
[QUOTE=Stormrider331]Then I'll start by getting one of the 2 first then...[/QUOTE]
i'd go with either really, they're both awesome. although Sonic Firestorm does have Soldiers of the wasteland on it, which makes it better.

I was just looking at that :p I'll try to get that one.

NP - Dragon Force - Fury of the Storm

Best song off of that album, methinks. :)

My big gripe with Dragonforce is, while excellent, they essentially released the same album three times. Their gimmick is good, but they're gonna need to start making a few large changes to their sound.

And they released the same song about 8 times on each album, with a few that are slightly different...

[QUOTE=Postman Pie]I agree. I also found that the choruses in Inhuman Rampage arn't as catchy.[/QUOTE]
That's important. It's one of the most important parts of PM for me.

The one song I heard off Inhuman Rampage was at least twice as good as anything I had heard from their previous releases. I have long been an extreme Dragonforce hater, that song I could actually tolerate.
