I forgot how cool Forgotten Tales are, even if they do dress like a bunch of French Canadian hobos. Production is kinda iffy, but music is top notch.

Is the singer good? Cause bands with a girl for vocals.. don't know but I can't listen to a whole album in one shot.

They put too much echo on her voice production-wise and she has a few really shrill moments, but overall she does quite a good job.

[QUOTE=PoetandthePendulum;16081800]Boomerang's Sounds of Sirens is pretty awesome. Their vocalist sounds like a mix between Bruce Dickinson and James Hetfield. Also, [B]Avantasia's The Scarecrow[/B] is top notch as well.[/QUOTE]

awesome album right there. do you know if their other albums are any good?

Might check it out. But there are bands I wanna listen to before.:p

[QUOTE=jrowa001;16083483]awesome album right there. do you know if their other albums are any good?[/QUOTE]

That is the only album I've heard too, lol.

I have the Metal Opera Pt.1 and it's good despite (or because of idk) it's excessive cheesiness.

Anyone listen to Persuader? I have The Hunter. Amazing album especially the song The Hunter.

Persuader is good. I have the other two albums, and they slay.



Anybody else excited for the Edguy/Kamelot tour?

Didn't know they were touring, but now than I know yes. I really like both, don't know if they come here, but if yes hope I can go.. Id be alone I think though.

I think it's US only if I saw corectly no?

When is this supposed to happen?

so as i am laying in bed all day sick, i had a bunch albums i had planned to listen to but i hit a bump in the road. i came across an album i had waiting to listen to for a little while so i decided to put it in. now my other albums i had planned to play have been set back. the album i am talking about is.....

Heavenly - Sign of the Winner

some seriously good power metal. right now its a 4/5 but might be bumped up to 4.5

What are some power metal bands that have a band ideology? There are a bunch of bands that just write crappy fantasy lyrics and then shred their asses off, but I'm starting to like the ones whose lyrics triumph goodness and righteousness and all of that. Maybe Axenstar, Lost Horizon, some Rhapsody?

There

**** off being at school when an awesome show is going on at home.

It's without Edguy though, so that softens the blow.

My date is a Saturday. :p

i might got to Oct. 26th show

WHAT?!

Balls, it's when I'm off at college.

Although that might work in my favor, depending on where I'll be...if I'm in the city, I'm golden, provided I can scrape funds together.

It'd be nice if a power metal band would, just once, tour the north of Australia. :(

Kamelot is a band I discovered pretty recently, along with Dark Moor. I recommend Dark Moor a lot ... they're kind of neoclassical but in a tastefully subdued and not at all bombastic way

/cue Fabio Lione wailing over Dvořák's Ninth

Dark Moor was pretty good when they still had that female vocalist, after that it went down hill fast.

Agreed

I'm trying desperately to find a way to make it to the Kamelot/Edguy show in Cleveland.

i was just saying yesterday how i would kill to see Kamelot live... now there coming to Cambridge! i gotta decide on Dream Theater, BTBAM, Opeth or the Symphony X, Epica, IE OR the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival...and now this one. kamelot has to be one though.

So Firewind's new album is pretty awesome. :)

I would have said go to the New England Metal Fest, but there's only a few bands there that would be worth seeing...I thought there were more.

Symphony X definately, if you haven't seen them yet. They're absolutely fantastic live. I'm so pissed that we have a play performance on the night they're gonna be here.

[QUOTE=PoetandthePendulum;16105273]So Firewind's new album is pretty awesome. :)[/QUOTE]

as are Firewind in general :)

Never liked Firewind. I think Gus G is better when somebody else is writing the music (Dream Evil).

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future;16107311]Never liked Firewind. I think Gus G is better when somebody else is writing the music (Dream Evil).[/QUOTE]

Apollo Papathanasio is such a good vocalist though. Definitely top 5 favorite Power Metal vocalists.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future;16107311]Never liked Firewind. I think Gus G is better when somebody else is writing the music (Dream Evil).[/QUOTE]

Dream Evil is amazing.

Dream Evil is indeed amazing. Not so much now, but Dragonslayer and The Book Of Heavy Metal were fantastic.

No way, United is by far their best album. The Book of Heavy Metal is terrible.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future;16105581]I would have said go to the New England Metal Fest, but there's only a few bands there that would be worth seeing...I thought there were more.[/QUOTE]

I'm going on Saturday, the lineup is solid aside from like 5 really shitty -core bands.

:lol: I downloaded Dream Evil - Dragonslayer and the last song is Wisdom of the Kings from Rhapsody. Don't know why it's there but well. It's good so it doesn't matter.

There are only two power metal bands on my last.fm top ten this week, Stormwarrior and Rhapsody, down there at the bottom.

What's wrong with me?

:confused:

You're becoming more of a man?

Or less of a man?

Sometimes it's hard to tell with power metal.

Pate - United sucks. They got rid of 2 of the best elements of Dream Evil, Snowy and Gus. BOHM is miles better, and it's great how it doesn't take itself too seriously.

United is elite. Snowy didn't bring anything good to the band, and they got a guy who can solo just as well as Gus. Did I mention the songs are way better? :p

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future;16111195]You're becoming more of a man?

More, in the case that Rhapsody dropped several ranks.

[QUOTE=pate;16111218]United is elite. Snowy didn't bring anything good to the band, and they got a guy who can solo just as well as Gus. Did I mention the songs are way better? :p[/QUOTE]

Except that they're totally not. They're ****in' boring. Whereas BOHM's music was cheesy and a bit butt-rocky to the point where it came full circle and sounded awesome.
