Storm, I highly recommend you getting Falconer's Sceptre Of Deception. You bringing them up has reminded me how good it is.

NP: Falconer - The Coronation
Seriously, one of the greatest power metal tracks ever

The clarion call is still my favourite Falconer song, it's one of the best choruses ever written, it's up there with Vain glory opera, soldiers of the wasteland and primo victoria

Falconer are so good at making freaking huge and catchy choruses.

I can't decide if I like Blad or Gobel's vocals better.

I see the Falconer talk continues. Very good. :)

I've sort of been a on-again/off-again Jag Panzer fan for a while now. I need to be in the right mood to enjoy them.

Jag Panzer just seem extremely average to me. They just had a real plain, generic sound. Casting The Stones is pretty good, but still pretty generic.

Falconer deserves 300 pages of it's own.

Fanboy.

At least they don't dress like members of the Clan Macleod.

They're warriors! How cool is that!

About as cool as Highlander: Endgame.

Ugh. Never mention the movie that ruined the series.

EDIT: Actually, II and III made a good job of that beforehand... :(

Yeah, I thought it was a fitting comparison. I didn't think III was too bad, but II definately won't get any repeated watchings from me.

I don't have the stamina to keep up this posting battle. I need some breakfast.

I'll give a listen to Falconer again, since I do think they are very cool.

I know, I'm having trouble continuing on.

Make sure it's Sceptre Of Deception.

Well, I'm going to get the one from the Daily Upload. Which is a self titled.

Vain Opera Glory \m/ Primo Victoria \m/

I'm so glad I discovered Sabaton recently.

Eh, the self titled is good, but it just doesn't compare. Most people prefer Blad on vocals, but I think I like Gobel alot better.

If I like it, I'll look more into their stuff. I'm glad they're not very cheesy though, atleast, the way you described it. I could handle cheese, but too much is too much.

Sabaton? Not cheesy?

Dude, they wrote about ****ing DDAY, for Christ's sake. How you could get a song out of that is beyond me...

Well, we've gotten movies out of it, so why not a song?

It's a good song. They wrote about a bunch of submarines on patrol, which is a pretty damn dry topic, I'd think. They're just awesome story tellers/history majors.

Yeah, plus Wolfpack is a supremely excellent song.

To be honest, it's a good thing that these sort of topics are sung about, it certainly encourages me oto learn more about the History of the battles being described.

I dunno, it just seems rather...cheesy to me.

It's definately alot cooler than feelings and emotions.

I was planning to play Primo Victoria for the Fourth of July, but my grandparents have this thing with metal...

Think about it. It's a holiday celebrated with barbecue and explosives. Play metal about WWII. You increase the machismo factor by at least 4.

That's true, setting random stuff on fire should too.

Lighting stuff on fire ftw

its a good thing Sabaton made the songs rather than an american band, who would stretch and bend the truth until they were singing about the glory of America saving the world, that would be alot worse than cheesy

The Glorious Burden FTW....

I gave 3 Inches of Blood another try. I still wouldn't recommend them to someone who's new to power metal, but I should still pick up Advance and Vanquish sometime in the near future.

Haha. y0, what's your avatar?

So, I've decided Falconer have friggin' awesome album covers. Whoever the artist is, he has a really distinctive style.
