they are my third favourite all-time band (after iron maiden and cradle of filth)

such a superb band - every song has you playing air guitar- the onlyproblem with alive in athens is the lack of "the reaping stone" which is one of my favourite songs of SWTWC- and my band will be playing burning times soon!

I got Angra - Rebirth, and its probably the best PM album ive heard. The vocal melodies rule, and the drumming is very technical compared to alot of PM bands. I find there is alot more variety in their music compared to DragonForce, and an FA thing will be up soon.

STRATO IS BACK PEOPLE!!!

Any Stratovarius fans here? What do you think of them getting back? What are your expectations on their upcoming album?

I love the guitar riff in pure evil.

Yes, Iced Earth is truly amazing, Night Of The Stormrider is a brilliant album, unfortunately it's the only one of theirs that I have :(

i suggest alive in athens

something wicked this way comes is brilliant but the best songs on it (bar the reaping stone) are on alive in athens

try- a question of heaven for an amazing song

Iced Earth rock! I only discovered them a few months ago browsing files on Soulseek, saw them, and thought I'd give them a try. Glad I did!

I've never gotten to far into Iced Earth. I'm not really sure why...

does anyone know if Dragonforce will be doing a proper UK tour after their summer european dates with Iron Maiden?

same here...

[QUOTE=sack-man]does anyone know if Dragonforce will be doing a proper UK tour after their summer european dates with Iron Maiden?[/QUOTE]
I didn't know they were touring with Iron Maiden. I thought it was a "proper tour". This is news to me.

I still wish they could tour North America, as they're the band I want to see most.

they're doing mainland Europe but not the UK with them :( i would love them to support maiden at Leeds! [url]www.dragonforce.com[/url] if you check the tour dates it says who they are guests of.

supporting maiden certainly is a big step for their career. They're coming here (Greece) too with maiden and they supported angra a while ago if I'm not mistaken. They're not particularly popular here though.

ah well. i think they're supporting angra a bit this summer as well.

Angra rule. They are my faverouite PM band at the minute.

Also, have you guys heard the new A7X song? It has some obvious PM influences.

I fell in love with their latest album (most of it at least), particularly with the solo parts and the production...

Who's A7X?

avenged sevenfold...i don't think i've ever listened to them.

[QUOTE=MetalFan]Who's A7X?[/QUOTE]

Avenged Sevenfold.

Anywho, what does everyone think of Kamelot's 'The Black Halo' album? I think it's a solid record, though it takes a little getting into.

EDIT: Whoa, I really like that new Avenged Sevenfold 'The Beast and the Harlot'. I never really dug the stuff they did before but holy ****, this is good!

Was Peter Pan in Mordor?...

It's been ages since I last listened to IFTOS!

Yes. That whole album is a good chunk of metal.

I like how Hansi screams 'YEAHH!!' in the background at random points during that song.

indeed :). He's awesome, I love him. I'll give the song a couple of listens before sleeping. Too much NIME lately (thorn 3 times in a row before sleeping) :p...

Btw, I read a bad review about NIME the other day
[url]http://www.metalcovenant.com/pages/index.htm[/url]...

Goodnight!

Yes, I don't agree with that review. I find it funny that their problem with NIME was that they thought it had too much going on, and then they heap the praise on ANATO while ANATO was a lot more dense and layered.

Meh. They're both great albums.

I cant understand why I still havent found someone in here to share my passion for Slough Feg. Ι see that most of you are mostly fond of euro power metal (especially of the less aggressive-more melodic side of it) but the mighty Slough Feg are nothing like this.

I'm not sure whether you're familiar with them or not but I uploaded a track YOU OUGHT to download. It's not the most representative song, but certainly a REALLY catchy one, the first I liked off Twilight of the Idols and quite short (I'm a 56k user...)

/Downloading.

No one shares my love for Richard Anderson. I think he owns all.

I like the bands he plays in. Wait, it was you who had once uploaded a Space Odyssey track, right? Cool stuff (especially the vocals)!

Yeh. The guitar playing is like OMG!

buying blind gaurdian- live when I get paid...

should be good

Save some more money and get the DVD instead. Am I the only one who doesnt like live albums?

:upset: (sudden realization)
/will never see BG live with their original line up

That album is excellent. You won't regret it.

May I ask why you don't like live albums?

Mainly because of the poor sound quality. I'm quite demanding when it comes to production - especially in power and technical metal - and I'm fond of the crystal clear one (like Angra's latest). So, no matter how good the live recording is, the studio magic is lost

Sure it's cool when fans are singing along, the songs are played in a slightly different rawer (which is not always a good thing) way and the frontman talks to the crowd but I really see no point in live albums when there are DVDs.

Coooool...Irish power metal! :lol:

I actually burst out laughing when i heard this...its funny.

Bit too odd for my tastes, but i still have it on my ipod.

amen! some feedback! Like I said it's not the most representative Slough Feg song but it's really adorable. Just listen to the lyrics!

wow, that Irish Power Metal was.... very odd yet brilliant.

Anybody here like Falconer?
