Unia? get the fuck outta this thread rofl

 

[pro4lpha]

no you. unia was great

 

[rms]

You're insane, their worst album and it's one ofthe worst I heard in 07

 

[pro4lpha]

well this thread is about your favorites not what most people like. I think Unia is beautiful. I like all sonata arctica but they have been getting better over time because they are getting their own sound- not just another power metal band. Unia was more powerful and faster, and tony's voice was better than ever. They only song im not crazy about is under your tree.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Blind Guardian - Battalions of Fear
Blind Guardian - Follow the Blind
Blind Guardian - Tales from the Twilight World
Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond
Blind Guardian - Tokyo Tales
Blind Guardian - Imaginations from the Other Side
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle-Earth
Blind Guardian - A Night at the Opera
Blind Guardian - LIVE
Blind Guardian - A Twist in the Myth

My favorites.

[Hatebreeder]

What?
Is that all you listen to?

No, but I don't really feel like compiling a list.

Oh yeah, and sarcasm, because that's about 90% of the power metal I listen to regularly.

 

[Einherjar86]

wintersun- wintersun

Wintersun - Wintersun

Wintersun? Really? Since when is Wintersun power metal?

 

[Hatebreeder]

Wintersun? Since when is Wintersun power metal?

The Children of Bodom argument. People don't want to call it melodic death, so they call it harsh power metal. Kind of untrue, if you ask me.

 

[pro4lpha]

meh ill put it in either

 

[mutantllama]

I don't like these kinds of threads because they are way too hard!

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I call it extreme power metal. I think it has more in common with power metal than melodeath.
