Theres a bunch of Rhapsody albums in the local HMV I go to. Or wait, I think its liek 10 copies of the same album...

I have 2 Rhapsody songs on my computer only. I need to listen to them more as they are 2 songs that I have listene to only once each :-/

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]
Helloween have some very good songs, but they went totally gay when Kai left.[/QUOTE]
Then we got Gamma Ray. :thumb:

I've heard Rhapsody's Holy Thunderforce. It's okay, I guess. Nothing special IMO.

Gamma Ray is pretty good, I think I need listen some more to say fully.

Gamma Ray's Somewhere Out in Space was the first power metal disc I bought. I loved Kai from that moment on. But I have to admit, I like Gamma Ray with Ralf on vocals much better. The music is far more unpredictable, versatile, and energetic. While the new Gamma Ray is very strong, the older had a much more personal feel, not so structured. For instance, you don't have any songs that feel like Money, or Changes, or Lust for Life, on any of the new albums. They just don't exist. While the new stuff is good, it's just much more basic in format. Still hasn't stopped me from buying every album :)

Or Heaven Or Hell, which sounds [I]too[/I] much like I Want Out.

And for the record, I am a Kai fanboy, so I'm not ragging on him.

I would like to just pop in and say that Kamelot rocks. :thumsb: What do you guys think of them.

NP: Edguy-****ing with Fire (great song)

Great band, though I'm basing that opinion on [I]The Black Halo[/I].


Gamma Ray are excellent; I prefer them to Helloween.

I'm more of a Helloween fan. Sometimes Gamma Ray just sounds like a Helloween cover band (such as the aforementioned Heaven Or Hell) to me. A great band regardless.

I, on the other hand, don't like Ralf at all. I have trouble really listening to their older stuff.
[QUOTE=IAmTheBlackWizard]I think the new Keeper Of The Seven Keys is very good personally.[/QUOTE]
To be honest I haven't heard anything from the new Keeper.

I've only heard 'the black halo' albu, but is is well awesome, i might get another one of their albums soon


orderd Edguy's 'mandrake' album and the 'king of fools' single/EP the other day:thumb:


NP: DIO - hungry for heaven

cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!!!

Kamelot are a pretty cool band. As for Gamma Ray, once again, I havn't heard any material from them...

And as for Edguy, there in my top 5 power metal bands. I can't wait to get Hellfire Club. Then, Theatre of Salvation and Mandrake probably. Awsoem band.

Gamma Ray are pretty cool.
I went though a phase of constant playing when got Powerplant.

Almost all metal from Germany is a winner though.

Scorpions, MSO, Galloglass, Falkenbach, Running Wild, Gamma Ray, Blind Guardian, Helloween, Kreator... see my point?

NP: Galloglass - Dragons Revenge

Too be fair that is all power emtal, name me another good german band that isnt power metal


btw you should all vote nicko in the drummer poll or i will eat your cats for dinner

Kreator is thrash. Scorpions and MSO are classic metal. Falkenbach is folk/black.

And there are quite a few good thrash and black metal bands from the Fatherland also.

I thought Falkenbach were viking...I'm new to the genre so whatever :p

And Riva, you seem to be a big Galloglass fan, do you mind sending me a few songs plz ?

NP Thyrfing - Ways of a Parasite

I'll send you two from the first and two from the second album, if you like.

I'de love that, thanks :D

I have Dragons Revenge and The Quest already...just to let you know.

NP Thyrfing - Slumber of Yesteryears

Galloglass is great. After Forever is an amazing song.

Well, you're getting Dragon's Revenge twice over. Sorry. :p

I absolutely love the heavy vibe on [I]Heavenseeker[/I]. The album really matured. Not that [I]Legends From Now And Nevermore[/I] isn't very close to my heart.

OK then heh :p

NP Falkenbach - Skirnir

To be honest, I haven't had enough time to give [i]Legends...[/i] a good listen yet. I probably should get to that tonight. I'm still totally in love with [i]Heavenseeker[/i], though - great album.

Legends is great and I just ordered Heavenseeker. It appears that no one has reviewed either album... What should I expect?

I'm reviewing both albums now, but I've been busy with Uni.

[I]Heavenseeker[/I] is much heavier. It's quite good, since Galloglass have maintained their melodic folk core, but have added far more depth to the music. Though a number of songs on [I]Legends...[/I] are my favourite, [I]Heavenseeker[/I] is what I consider to be the best album, overall.

Could you send those songs my way? [email]eddiesminion@gmail.com[/email]

Thanks if you can.

Here, it's just a sampler.

Is Heavenseeker the one that Tower sells in the ridiculous special edition pack, with live DVD and other stuff?

I should get that if it is...if not, I should still get that album.

It is indeed. The sticker and poster now adorn my CD wallet and door respectively, and the live DVD is watched of an occasion.

WOw, I didn't realize how good Dream Evil was. I first heard The Book of Heavy Metal and it is so incredibly cheesey but I just listened to Evilized and it kicks serious ***! There is the cheese moment:

"I am so fu[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]c[/COLOR]kin metal and so is my wife
I am his wife... Shut up!"

But it's not full of corny songs like TBoHM. Are their other albums more like Evilized or more like The Book of Heavy Metal?

They have three to my knowledge.

[I]Evilized[/I], their second release, is sort of the least cheesy. [I]Dragonslayer[/I] is down and out heavy cheesiness, whereas [I]The Book Of Heavy Metal[/I] is fun cheesiness. It's which type you like the best. Have you heard all of [I]The Book Of Heavy Metal[/I]? A lot of it is in a similar vein to [I]Evilized[/I].

Also, [I]Dragonslayer[/I] has HMJ on it, which is their most kickarse song.

is nevermoe considered power metal? jeff loomis said that he heard that power metal was the genre they were being listed under when he says theyre not. do you think they are power metal

i love Evilized. Made of Metal is so great :) the lyrics MetalOz put in are the best bit :p

a lot of bands say they play one kind of music, even though they can be classified under other genres. for example, HammerFall say they only play Heavy Metal, even though i would definitely classify them as Power Metal.

hmm...Will someone send me some Dream Evil songs I may like? [email]AcquiredDisguise@yahoo.gr[/email]

On Metal-Archives it says Nevermore are Power/Thrash...

They do have certain elements of a more unconventional power and of thrash but I find this label inaccurate. I prefer to call them heavy/prog.

Meh, I think the power and thrash should be added as well as the heavy prog...

Thtas just me though...I<m not exacly the best with genres...

Man, I need to get [I]One Step Beyond[/I]. Roll on payday.

Tower? I think they stock it...

I bought Mandrake, and downloaded Rocket Ride, and the difference in quality between the two is immense. Mandrake kicks the other to the curb...
