Speaking of Human Fortress, I listened to the songs that Steerpike sent, and I wasn't really impressed with them :-/ ...I was expecting more...I've only listened to them once though.

Didn't you like the vocals? I think this is their strong point, otherwise I find them quite generic (as most of the power metal bands).

Actually, I remember not liking the vocals that much, I think :-/ ...Like I said, I'll give it another listen.

I was just reading up on Wuthering Heights (new album next week) and I saw Johansson also sings in Astral Doors. That was the band that opened for Blind Guardian last month for the European tour. We were wondering how a further not so very special band had a great singer (on some song, most were pretty bland).

Anyone hear the new Wuthering Heights already?

New Dungeon is out very very soon, guys. It half-out across Australia, but not yet anywhere else.

Ive been getting into 'into eternity' lately. Downloading their newest album now.

Hmm, this made me remember I need to get a Dungeon album. Something Power...

new dungeon?! Someone fill me up, I thought we only had Lord not Dungeon...:confused:

[QUOTE=Mother;13469388]i've been liseing to fierwind and dungeon latley[/QUOTE]

Firewind any good? im gonna see them when they support Dragonforce but i havnt heard them yet

all i have listend to recently is excessive amounts of Skid Row


[QUOTE=Stoic;13486627]new dungeon?! Someone fill me up, I thought we only had Lord not Dungeon...:confused:[/QUOTE]
there is gonna be one final dungeon album (porbably to fill out a contract to the record company or something)

I think Firewind is a huge disappointment. Gus G. is amazing, but I can't listen to them for very long.

I have 2 Firewind songs, I rarely listen to them, but I like songs. They're not anytihng groundbreaking but hey!

Who's this Gus G. ?

he's also in Dream Evil

What the heck is amazing about Gus G. He's a good guitarist but way too over rated.

He's Greek.

I like his guitar lines sometimes, but Firewind is extremely lame. He was at his peak in Dream Evil.

Yeah he is overated, he's not THAT great

My favorite Greek Musician is Bob Katsionis he's insane.

Ahh...

Meh, Dream Evil. :p

George Kollias for me (current drummer of Nile) \m/

Oh he's greek? I wasn't aware of that...

Im hopeing to convince my mom to go to Greese for our nexct out of country vacation...but she;'s already been there :mad:

I didn't know Kollias was Greek either...

Gus. G in Dream Evil >> Gus G. in Nightrage >> Gus G. in Firewind

And I met him so... :p

Does Nightrage have harsh vocals ? Or am I mixing them up with another band ?

Nightrage had the guy from At The Gates for their first album (thank GOD they got rid of him), and have somebody new now.

Are those vocals harsh ? :p

I'm pretty sure I checked them out once, and I didn't like the vocals...if they were harsh. Like I said, I could be thinking of another band.

Yeah, Nightrage is melo-death.

Okay then, yes it was them. I didn't like the vocals.

Many people don't, but I do.

[QUOTE=pate;13488673]Gus. G in Dream Evil >> Gus G. in Nightrage >> Gus G. in Firewind

I like Firewind better than Nightrage and of course Firewind is Gus G's band, Dream Evil is Fredrik Nordström's band (and Gus G. isn't on teh new album) So WHere does Mystic Prophecy fit in (Gus G was on 3 albums)?

I would put Mystic Prophecy in between Nightrage and Firewind.

That pecking order was based on my feelings on his leads and playing with each.

There is one last album, called [I]The Final Chapter[/I]. It's out in some parts of Australia, and will be everywhere else pretty soon.

If you look around on the Dungon/Lord forums you could probably still find some sample of it.

James: Get [I]A Rise To Power[/I].

I've really been digging both the [B]Winter's Bane[/B] albums that you uploaded, pate. Really good stuff.

I'm also going to rave about [B]Centinela[/B], I have their new album: Panico and it is really good... a couple mp3s are on their website:

Winters Bane is amazing. It's the only power metal I've listened to for several weeks.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids;13491969]James: Get [I]A Rise To Power[/I].[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that's the one ! I'll get it sometime soon I hope. Thanks.

Redivivus was pretty enjoyable, had multiple stand out tracks, but nothing that really amazed me. Always wondered how good Heart Of A Killer is, yet to find a copy of it somewhere.

i listened to Heart Of A Killer on Friday, awesome album, i loved it. i have yet to listen to Redivivus though.

Redivivus is probably not going to be as good as HoaK. It's not a bad album, it just has this slight generic feel to it. Though i really liked a few of the songs on it.

Are you on the DU list? I uploaded the two, and they were sent out a few days ago.

What do you guys think of Lanfear? I'm reading the Wheel Of Time series and there is a character named Lanfear. So just for kicks I went out and did a good search on the name and it turns out there is a German prog/power metal band with that name. I just wondered if they're any good. 2 of their albums have very high reviews on M-A, but those can be hit or miss so I thought I'd get some opinions here before I tried to find anything by them.

I got 'Another Golden Rage' off slsk and it's quite good :thumb:

What's your slsk name? Mine is the same as here. I haven't been on in ages, but maybe I'll get on there tonight and try to find some of their stuff. I did end up hearing a few samples off their website. It sounded promising, but the samples were pretty short.
