Black Hand Inn is by far their best imo. Port Royal is great too. their song Treasure Island off of Pile of Skulls is so epic, but they live off of epic songs

[QUOTE=FatalEnergy;15486525]You're missing out. Go get Port Royale. The Brotherhood is newer and is kind of weak.[/QUOTE]

Will do. I was going to check out another album, just because of how people here feel about them.

Port Royal is my favorite one so far.

Someone will lend me their Blazen Stone copy soon, so I'll be listening to that one next.

Im listening to this album "astronomy" by "Dragonlord" . Isn't DragonLord that dude from Testamens (Eric Peterson I think his name was) side project?

Yeah. He looks retarded in corpse paint.

Oshi I ment Dragonland

Haha I had a feeling because Dragonlord is more black metalish

Dragonlord is the only thing Eric Peterson's ever done that sucks.

Does anybody have the Against the Plagues debut album? It's the side project of Lost Horizon's guitarist.

Which guitarist, Alex? I'd like to hear it also.

Speaking of LH side projects, I'm still unsure as to my feelings towards Heed. :-/

I saw the Heed video and I laughed, but it wasn't the same laughter I got from LH. Just not the same.

[QUOTE=Riva;15511056]Which guitarist, Alex? I'd like to hear it also.[/QUOTE]

Wojtek Lisicki.

It's more of an extreme metal project than Lost Horizon. Apparently, he wants to get a little more work done with Against the Plagues before making another Lost Horizon album.

That's alright, I don't want them to ruin the magic for me just yet by releasing a new Lost Horizon album with a terrible vocalist. :p

Bleh, Heed is absolutely terrible. The death vocals just don't work for me...

yeah the screaming is lame but it's still mostly just him singing.

Finally caught up on what's going on with Human Fortress.

Apparently, Jioti left the band due to some concerns over his health. He's currently working with two projects, Victory in Germany and Euroforce in Greece.

Carsten Frank of Galloglass fame has stepped in as the new frontman and will continue to be their producer as well. It'll be interesting to see the results of this.

Carsten's a killer vocalist, but the production on Heavenseeker was absolutely terrible.

Ok....why exactly did Daniel leave Lost Horizon??

That'll be good. Carsten really improved his voice on [I]Heavenseeker[/I] when compared to [I]Legends From Now And Nevermore[/I].

[QUOTE=PoetandthePendulum;15545067]Ok....why exactly did Daniel leave Lost Horizon??[/QUOTE]

Differences of opinion, I reckon, and he wanted to pay more attention to Heed.

Whaa?

I really need to listen to that album, then. His voice on Legends From Now and Nevermore is fantastic.

Heavenseeker is pretty freakin' terrible, I think. The songs aren't as good, and it's overproduced to the point where it makes everything sound godawful.

Cover art is bitchin' though.

Carsten's voice and Lorenz' drumming improved quite a bit on [I]Heavenseeker[/I], but yeah, in general the songs aren't as good. I think the reason the sound is so overproduced is because the band themselves had a huge say in the mixing of the album, and they really spent more time than is necessary tweaking it. Though I do enjoy the thrashier sound they came up with.

The first 2 tracks I really like. After that, not so much...

Carsten's lyrics on Burden of Grief are terrible though. :-/ Maybe they got twisted going from German to English, but "put my anger back on the shelf". Wtf mate?

I didn't notice the lyrics. Oh well...

I'm quite into power metal lyrics. Which is why Lost Horizon kick arse.

Heart of Storm \m/

Well that sucks. I have listened to a couple of Heed songs and they are no where as good as Lost Horizon

Gamma Ray - Somewhere Out In Space is so damn awesome for headbanging to. My stars.

As I was reading that last post Gamma Ray came up in shuffle. It's Land of the Free in my case, but regardless of that, much headbanging has begun.

Has anyone heard Armageddon? I have come to the conclusion that Chris Amott is much better off in Arch Enemy where he doesn't have to write songs. Even his lead playing has become a little stale to me after listening to a couple of his albums.

Somebody recommend me something similar to Primal Fear that isn't Gamma Ray or Helloween [size=6]or Judas Priest[/size].

Judas Priest.

:lol: :lol: I forgot to put them in my no-no list.

Black Majesty, Seven Witches, Nocturnal Rites, Cryonic Temple

I like the Black Majesty album I have.

ps: LIVING FOR METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

[QUOTE=Steerpike;15603135]Black Majesty, Seven Witches, Nocturnal Rites, Cryonic Temple[/QUOTE]

I don't like SW, like Nocturnal Rites, and haven't heard the others. Thanks. :p

Go for Silent Company by Black Majesty

*puts on list*

It's got a badass cover too.

Ralf Scheepers is becoming one of my favorite singers.

ps: METAL IS FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRR
