[murder_house]

[murder_house]

I've already heard Evergrey, Stratovarius, Nightwish, CoB.

 

[The_Children_of_Decadence]

dunno

 

[Joiya]

Twilightning might be.

 

[Tut Ankh Amon]

get any power metal band, cut off their balls and steal the lyricist's wife.

Instant Sonata Artica sound-alikes making method

 

[Kitty]

ge steal the lyricist's wife.

hmmm, risky but would it work ?

 

[A Fire Inside]

I've already heard Evergrey, Stratovarius, Nightwish, CoB.

Stratovarius does not sound like Sonata Arctica. Sonata Arctica does sound like Stratovarius.

^ that doesnt make sense , I know what you are trying to say and it sucks! sonata are influenced by strato but im sure strato are influenced a bit by sonata

 

[bobvex]

why is it that any guy who sings, I mean really sings, is said to be ball-less?

Except for that new band, The Darkness, i dont think they sound like they have their nuts in vice.


And is it just me, or does Timo Koltipeltokinda sing in the same range as Bjork??

 

[murder_house]

If people would quit trying to be witty and clever and actually suggest bands, it would help much more.

 

[Stand-Ablaze]

I don't like Power Metal .

@ murder House - check who influences Sonata Arctica as a whole, and see who they are, also the other way around, check to see who is influenced by Sonata Arctica.

Also check review of their albums.

I dunno if they sound too much like Sonata, but Rhapsody is fucking awesome. Check out Lost Horizon too.

BEHOLD THE POWER!

LOL

Along with Sonata Arctica I enjoy Symphony X.. though they are more proggy and less straight ahead... also check out Norther if you like CoB.. they sound to me a bit like Sonata.. but with a guy screamin just like CoB.

try masterplan they have more of a traditional old school metal feel to their riffs than but if you can get into a band like sonata you might like them. their singer jorn lande is amazing. in my opinion it is one of the besat albums any band put out in 2003 which is saying alot since some great albums were put out last year.

hammerfall rocks too just straight powermetal but still rocking catchy shit if you like powermetal

 

[SilentNightThrobbongNight]

oh yeah you might also like elvenking. more of a folk element to them.
