Heart of a Killer was really good.

pate 11-12-2006 10:35 PM

Heart of a Killer is my favorite song, and one of my favorite songs period.

I Spent today listening to Dragonforce, go me.

pate 11-14-2006 11:20 AM

I'm really sorry Ollie. :p

The Tarot that Oz uploaded is really good. :thumb:

Shattered_Future 11-14-2006 03:16 PM

Well, yeah. Marco Hietala is in the band, so you know it's good.

Stormrider 11-14-2006 03:28 PM

I listen to Dragonforce very rarely. I get in the mood, then listen to 3-4 songs, then get out of the mood again :p

Oh well.

/puts on Winters Bane

pate 11-14-2006 03:35 PM

@Mike:...but he was in Sinergy.

Jammie: That's because they only have three or four songs. :p

Stormrider 11-14-2006 03:40 PM

Hahahahah ! :p

NP Winters Bane - Heart of a Killer

This is good stuff. Tim Owens goes well in stuff like this...better then in Iced Earth. But, let's see what the man can do with the new albums before I say anymore.

Well, it's not his fault that Kim Goss made the band horrible. Without her, they're quite good.

pate 11-14-2006 07:34 PM

It's his fault that he let Kim Goss ruin a project of his.

Shattered_Future 11-14-2006 08:25 PM

No, that would be Alexi. Marco was just along for the ride, and kicking *** while doing so.

pate 11-14-2006 09:50 PM

Excuses, excuses. :p

Shattered_Future 11-14-2006 10:21 PM

Marco's just the giant Finnish cyberpunk pirate bassist/vocalist. He just walks into a room and already he's owned everybody.

pate 11-14-2006 10:24 PM

Oh, so kinda like me then.

Riva 11-14-2006 10:32 PM

I enjoy Sinergy more than CoB. Which isn't saying much. :p

pate 11-14-2006 10:36 PM

I enjoy CoB more than Sinergy, but I dislike both.

MetalOz 11-14-2006 11:29 PM

Marco isn't playing with Sinergy anymore (Stratovarius' bass player now). Musically I like Sinergy, Kimberly Goss just has a weak voice. But I like clean vocals so I'll take her weak voice over Alexi's croaking. I like his guitarwork but his vocals don't do it for me.

Is Marco still in Nightwish?

ArcLite 11-15-2006 12:32 AM

I still love CoB, though I'm no longer the fanboy I was at one time. I'm gonna try and see them next month. Hopefully they'll play lots of old stuff and not a lot of that horsesh[size=2]i[/size]t from the new album (wishful thinking). I guess I'm with the majority here in agreeing that the vox ruined Sinergy's potential.

Apocalyptic Raids 11-15-2006 01:57 AM

I've majorly gone off CoB. I was lucky enough to see them live at the height of my listening to them, so that was enjoyable.

Stormrider 11-15-2006 03:32 PM

I was never that big on COB. Yes, I like the couple of songs that I've heard, though I never really digged further.

ArcLite 11-15-2006 05:16 PM

Despite not whoring them anymore I still consider Follow The Reaper to be one of the best metal albums ever.

Riva 11-15-2006 06:30 PM

I just can't get into them. Something about them, some intangible quality, just set my teeth on edge.

Tyr 11-15-2006 06:33 PM

I only really like [I]Follow the Reaper[/I].

Of course. I'm not sure if they've found a new singer yet or not though, which is probably why the new Tarot album was just released.

Bodom's alright in small doses. They're a bit too samey, but a few songs every so often is quite cool.

Follow The Reaper is probably my favorite. Some killer tunes on there.

MetalOz 11-16-2006 01:39 PM

I have a question, perhaps I should do a poll...

[B]Keyboards or no keyboards in power metal? [/B]

I tend to prefer power metal bands where the keyboards are buried in the mix and used more for atmosphere or effects then for key song elements with a couple exceptions (Symphony X is the only one I can think of off the top of my head)

Deth 11-16-2006 01:52 PM

Seeing how Rhapsody and Blind Guardian have keyboards, I will have to say with.

Of course there are so many great bands without them.

Stormrider 11-16-2006 03:29 PM

Though keyboards can be seen as a keysong elements at times. They can add a lot of atmosphere. But, I see what you meant.

I'm going to say with keyboards. Though generally speaking, I rather when keyboards are used for atmosphere/smaller melodies then for blistering solos.

EDIT: I should have kept my train of thought along power metal, haha.

Txus 11-16-2006 03:35 PM

Keyboards are overrated.

Stormrider 11-16-2006 03:44 PM

I love keyboards :)

When they're used right, I guess.

pate 11-16-2006 04:30 PM

Subtle keyboards FTW. Just like I prefer subtle awesome bass playing over flashy playing.
