Pretty solid. But, uhh, Manowar?

Shadows Within 01-23-2008 05:11 PM

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future;15885833]Alex, you consider Tarot power metal? :confused:[/QUOTE]

they are...

Steerpike 01-23-2008 05:11 PM

Just wanted to see if anybody would catch that. ;)

I only put Manowar down because I'm reading a lot of Robert E Howard lately. That made more sense before I wrote it down.

Shattered_Future 01-23-2008 05:17 PM

I dunno, I always thought Tarot were...well...significantly more heavy than most power metal. I'd consider them more of a heavy metal vein than power.

Same with me. Marco has a power metal type of voice, but they have never been quite cheestastic like most Power Metal bands.


Oh, and Lost Horizon rule....Daniel FTMFW!!!!


lol jk Cocaine, I'll stop with the Lost Horizon every single post. I can't help it that they rule so much.

Shadows Within 01-23-2008 06:13 PM

not every power metal band has to be over-the-top cheesy :smash:

Poet 01-23-2008 06:17 PM

Almost all of them are cheesy are some levels though.

I just don't think Tarot has that Power Metal feel to it. Power Metal makes me feel dorky, relaxed, and gives me a good time. Straight up metal like Tarot makes me feel like a total bad ***.

Stormrider 01-23-2008 06:29 PM

Any one like Viper's Soldiers of the Sunrise?

pate 01-23-2008 08:48 PM

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15885826]Sabaton maybe.[/QUOTE]

**** yes

And Lord/Dungeon too.

jrowa001 01-23-2008 09:29 PM

anybody like Powerglove? their album that comes out this year is pretty cool

Shadows Within 01-23-2008 09:38 PM

[QUOTE=pate;15886869]**** yes

And Lord/Dungeon too.[/QUOTE]

Haven't heard Lord but if it's anything like dungeon then it's probably amazing, does anyone have the song Pariah on them? i can't find the album let alone the song...

*waits for Lord Tim to show up and kill me*

BludgeonySteve 01-27-2008 06:24 PM

Does anyone else think that Firewind needs to release a new album soon?

Shattered_Future 01-27-2008 07:32 PM

Nope. I'm perfectly happy with them not releasing any. Never really saw the big deal...

Poet 01-27-2008 07:35 PM

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future;15903577]Nope. I'm perfectly happy with them not releasing any. Never really saw the big deal...[/QUOTE]

I like them :(

Shattered_Future 01-27-2008 07:45 PM

They're just generic in my eyes. Never really did anything new for me.

pate 01-27-2008 07:46 PM

Allegiance is their best.

Poet 01-27-2008 08:31 PM

[QUOTE=pate;15903647]Allegiance is their best.[/QUOTE]

Insanity is pretty awesome off of there.

ZapatoDiablo 01-27-2008 08:37 PM

[QUOTE=pate;15903647]Allegiance is their best.[/QUOTE]
But it's not very good. Gus needs to join a band where he can just solo and not half to write any songs.

BludgeonySteve 01-27-2008 08:57 PM

I think it's great. Whatever.

Poet 01-27-2008 09:08 PM

[QUOTE=RNR;15903933]I think it's great. Whatever.[/QUOTE]

It's Power Metal, so I am going to like it as well :)

BludgeonySteve 01-27-2008 09:38 PM

Forged by Fire is great too. Gus G is probably better at making the Manowar, Hammerfall sort of classic Heavy Metal sound, but Allegiance is undeniably awesome.

Surtr 01-28-2008 07:47 AM

Alright guys, I've been lacking my Power Metal lately. A lot to be honest. And so I need your help.

Help me hunt down a mad sick band, I'm up for pretty much anything, but it needs to be proper sick ****, and it preferably should be based on History.

:)

I will Rep++ anyone who suggests me something that I think I'll like.

pate 01-28-2008 07:55 AM

Lord

Surtr 01-28-2008 08:24 AM

Rhapsody any good? I'm downloading/checking out their Live In Canada album.

Tyr 01-28-2008 08:48 AM

Rhapsody are good, if you can stand massive amounts of cheese. One of my favourite Power Metal bands.

Tyler 01-28-2008 09:11 AM

Well, they can be great. But they can be absolutely awful.

I like the gag-inducing cheese though. It's fun...

"FLY HIGH, MIGHTY THAROS"

Surtr 01-28-2008 09:25 AM

Ok, listening to 'em now. And I can stand it for sure. This sh[I]i[/I]t is epic as f[I]u[/I]ck.

I miss listening to Power Metal a lot :(

Tyr 01-28-2008 09:29 AM

Their best albums are [I]Power of the Dragonflame[/I] and [I]Symphony of Enchanted Lands Part 2 - The Dark Secret[/I], imo.

Tyler 01-28-2008 09:37 AM

I like the first Symphony of Enchanted Lands as well. The more organic instruments on the second one are great but the first one always did it for me. Or used to; I haven't listened to Rhapsody [B]OF FIRE!!![/B] in forever

Surtr 01-28-2008 09:37 AM

I couldn't find a decent Torrent of Enchanted Lands Pt. II - The Dark Secret.

And my Ratio on What.cd is getting mad outa' hand...

Tyler 01-28-2008 09:40 AM

I went nuts on free-leech time on Waffles to get my ratio up. Having a majorly throttled upload speed is a biatch on torrent sites.

Surtr 01-28-2008 09:42 AM

I can't even upload Torrents.

Its really gay.

So my Ratio is like completely f[I]u[/I]cked and really high.

Tyr 01-28-2008 09:48 AM

Yeah, but part two has got Christopher Lee, which is always a bonus.

I can upload it for you, if you want.

Surtr 01-28-2008 09:50 AM

That'd be mad sick of you. Would you? :)

Tyr 01-28-2008 09:51 AM

Sure, just post your mail and IŽll send as soon as I've uploaded it.
