A girl I know well is putting together a metal band and I am supporting her doing so. She has a few well known covers up on youtube for you guys to check out (the pic is her)
keep it heavy:kickass:
First song that got me into them was "without god". After that, I checked out the entire Dance of December souls album, and I was sold. Even though I am a fan of the entire discography, DODC is still my all time favorite.
I am a big fan of Vintersorg's older stuff. Recently I have been listening to a lot of Voluspaa, with the new album 'asa" which is pretty damn awesome.
They are definitely talented and have some of the best transitions in the business. I do think they also get slightly more credit than other bands that are equally worthy but all bands will pay their dues struggling to the top.
Best vocals come from After Forever but they broke up. The vocalist is working on a new project. My favorite is Arch Enemy and the up and coming Empyrean Eve.
I went to see Hammerfall which was not quite as intense as I had been hoping. There was also a band there called Powerglove that was pretty impressive. I highly suggest people check them out.
