The Sceptre of Deception was ok I guess. I still havent heard anything off their latest one though

Lord Abortion 04-28-2005 03:20 AM

I like live albums- my love of alive in athens, maiden's live after death and metallica's live **** binge and burge, cannibal corpse- live cannibalism and mayhem live in liepzig is well documented on mx

[QUOTE=The Dark Philosopher]Anybody here like Falconer?[/QUOTE]

I like Chapter From a Vale Folklorn. I think they have a new album coming out next week.

Yeh thats what I heard. Do you know what its name is?

Xspeeder 04-28-2005 12:19 PM

[QUOTE=The Dark Philosopher]Anybody here like Falconer?[/QUOTE]

yes i listen to falconer. I have all their albums, including Grime Vs. Grandeur. Their vocalist has really done a great job on the new album. IM me if you want to listen to it.

Currently, my favorite power metal bands are: Angra, Insania, and Dragonland. Not many people have heard of them, but they are really great.

shadow_stalker 04-28-2005 12:34 PM

Anyone heard Sonata ARctica's cover of Fade to Black, its pretty good

Brew 04-28-2005 01:20 PM

I've downloaded songs from the Falconer website, my favourite song is The Coronation.

I'd get an album of theirs, but I can't seem to find one thats cheap, everywhere I've looked has them for about £15 each.

RiceMonster 04-28-2005 01:50 PM

I have to check out Falconer. What are they like?

Brew 04-28-2005 01:58 PM

Kinda average power metal, not too fast, not too slow. The lyrics are very typical of the genre and the singer has a pretty good voice.

Stoic 04-28-2005 02:14 PM

By saying average you mean in terms of speed or quality? If you're refering to quality, I disagree with you. They're pretty good, with superb and quite technical at times guitar work, although often overlooked. It's actually the kind power I mostly like (more aggressive but yet melodic).

NP Avantasia - The Looking Glass

Brew 04-28-2005 02:16 PM

Average speed, pretty good quality.

They haven't really got to me like some power metal bands though, they're kinda in the middle of good/bad line IMO.

I'd like to seem them live though someday :)

Lord Abortion 04-28-2005 02:49 PM

due to the kindness(?) of shadow_stalker I now have reckoning night by sonata arctica and both dragonforce albums on my computer

dragonforce 'kin rule!!

Stoic 04-28-2005 03:00 PM

indeed they rule! Get yourself some Falconer now!

Lord Abortion 04-28-2005 03:26 PM

[QUOTE=MetalFan]indeed they rule! Get yourself some Falconer now![/QUOTE]
since you are the expert- rccomend me some... :D

Brew 04-28-2005 03:31 PM

The Coronation is a good song to download.

You can get it from their website.

Lord Abortion 04-28-2005 03:34 PM

sweet. thanks.

what other sonata albums should I be getting myself?

Brew 04-28-2005 03:35 PM

Winterheart's Guild is excellent.

Lord Abortion 04-28-2005 03:39 PM

again, cheers and loving the sephiroth-ness BTW
christ, the hours of my life spent playing ff7...
over and over again

Brew 04-28-2005 03:43 PM

I spent about 3 days playing it almost non-stop, I got from the end of Disc 1 to the bit on Disc 3 where you can do whatever you want before going to fight Jenova+Sephiroth.

Lord Abortion 04-28-2005 03:46 PM

yeah you can spend weeks doing that
i would love to devise a metal soundtrack for the bits in that game
although the music is great already...

Brew 04-28-2005 03:55 PM

The Black Mages kinda beat you to it there.

[url]http://www.ffhybrid.net/mp3/mp3s.php[/url]

That website has mp3's for all the Final Fantasy music, all you need to do is register and you can begin downloading.

Lord Abortion 04-29-2005 07:15 AM

yeah... I did hear about them
sounds pretty cool

but I meant through existing tracks

ie ooohh...

I love that part of the game, i spend most of my time in gold saucer and dont do much else :lol:


Lord Abortion do you want to borrow Sonata Arctica's - Winter hearts guild album?

Tis very good, not sure if i prefer it over reckoning night though.

3rdplanet 05-01-2005 04:11 PM

Queensr’che, power metal? prog? bit of both?

anyway they kick *** and they have some Power aspects to their music, and miss quite a few more.

shadow_stalker 05-02-2005 03:06 PM

Just heard Cryonic temple for the first time, pretty good might get one of their albums.


Still no sign of the lost horizon cd i orderd. :upset:

exup 05-02-2005 03:09 PM

Steerpike 06-29-2005 01:56 AM

Bumping this thread up from the grave to whore for Wuthering Heights.

FrailandBedazzled1979 06-29-2005 01:59 AM

^^^^

indeed one of the most unique power metal groups out there.


by the way, i saw Rhapsody and Manowar in Cleveland opening night (nice LONG drive!!) and wow...great show!!

i still got Edguy/Hammerfall and Stratovarius both in the months to come :)

Steerpike 06-29-2005 02:02 AM

\m/ :cool:

Stoic 06-29-2005 03:28 AM

Power metal thread revival! Sorry Steerpike I dont like Wuthering Heights (at least for now) :p. Can I whore for Zero Hour?

By the way, I think you've once mentioned Pagan's Mind in a thread. I own Infinity Divine but no matter how much I tried I couldnt get into it. However, I still hear very good comments about them...What's your opinion?

Steerpike 06-29-2005 03:30 AM

I don't listen to them very often, but they do have some great songs. I just worry that they're going to drift off into masturbatory displays of Dream Theater-esque come-inducement.

Stoic 06-29-2005 03:33 AM

haha, have you heard anything off their latest?

RideTheSpiral 06-29-2005 03:33 AM

I dislike Pagan's Mind. I had such high expectations too.

Steerpike 06-29-2005 03:34 AM

[QUOTE=MetalFan]haha, have you heard anything off their latest?[/QUOTE]

No actually, I haven't.

Stoic 06-29-2005 03:36 AM

nevermind, neither have I :(

FrailandBedazzled1979 06-29-2005 03:39 AM

[QUOTE=RideTheSpiral]I dislike Pagan's Mind. I had such high expectations too.[/QUOTE]

i wasnt as impressed with them as i hoped to be either. The reviews on "celestial entrance" were flawless and after several listens i still cant recall a song i really got into. proof that masterful musicianship does not make you a good songwriter.
