If you can come up with a better one, in all seriousness, I'll consider it.

Hi guys! Yes it's me - sorry about the 4 month absence, but they don't have forums online inside....

...have I come back at just the right time to enjoy a good ol' argument?

I was kind of debating our band name.
Inside as in Prison?

....inside my grannie's caravan, silly! I do wish you'd let me finish a sentence for once....

actually I've been really busy in all areas of my pitiful existence, and have had to neglect my MX brethren.

That and I ran out of things to say....

I <3 Sonata Arctica.

NP-Weballergy(live)

Dragonforce kinda introduced me to the "power metal" scene and now ive discovered more of the European power metal and i would say this stuff is what ive been looking for in metal for ages! Good vocals, good instrumentals, generally a good vibe...
and Gamma Ray have overtaken Megadeth as my favourite band :) :)

I really didn't like that when they did it live.

Techno sucks...balls.

I love it. :-|

Still pretty cool talent wise anyway though.

Good man, they're some excellent purchases

NP-Firewind-Beware the beast

Hopefully Tim can get on here again.

So, are we all good little children who enjoyed Therion?

Hahaha, yeah. Pretty cool stuff. I like the two off Sirus B alot more than the other album.

Well, the second upload was their death metal era. They had three albums of death metal, three albums of middle ground, then four albums of symphonic power metal.

I never got any you Australian misser-outer:mad:

Check out the Folk/Viking Metal thread. There are two links there.

So I chcked out Firewind yesterday. They're pretty cool. Only listened to one of the 2 songs I got. I think I'll get more some other time.

Anyone here likes them ?

Yeah, I just recently picked up Forged In Fire. Pretty good CD. It goes kind of soft on the backside, but I still enjoyed it all.

Firewind's decent, I guess...haven't listened to much, but anything with Gus in it is bound to be pretty good.

Hmm i seem to be the only one that didnt like the songs.


on a different note i got Dream evil's dragonslayer album for £3.99:thumb: and a Dio album, tis a sort of "best of"

Hey there. Haven't been posting in this thread in a while, but I've been reading.

I'm looking for something very specific and I'm hoping you can pinpoint me to what I need. I'm trying to find some more music that sounds very simliar in style, format, and aggression as the Kai-era of Helloween (Jericho, Keeper of the Seven Keys I/II) but not of the post-Kai era. I'm looking for songs simliar to Starlight, Gorgar, Dr Stein, Murderer, A Tale that Wasn't Right, Helloween. I have yet to find anything that's close enough. I'm picky about my power metal. Some just doesn't do it for me, but Helloween when Kai was in it is the most amazing stuff I've ever found.

Any help would be great. I've checked out most of the big name bands listed in this thread and other minor bands as well but nothing is what i'm looking for. If Helloween was so successful, then why aren't there more clones??

Thanks.

Give a shot at Wuthering Heights album Far from the Madding Crowd. It's very Helloween-Dio-Maiden-esque with Celtic influences thrown in for good measure.
