Speaking of Helloween, I just found out they released "The Dark Ride" on my birthday!!

Shit, Maiden at their worst is way better than powermetal ever was

Yeah I sort of agree...I don't have much kind to say about the vast majority of power metal. But come on, Maiden is basically the same shit minus the double bass drumming.

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

Holy shit, I just found out that the awesome Italian power metal band Labyrinth, who released probably my favorite power metal album of the 90's, "Return To Heaven Denied", are slated to release a sequel to that album later this year,

Let us hope that it doesn't go the way of Mindcrime 2.

Good god man, anything is better than Mindcrime 2.

 

[razoredge]

Mindcrime II

I have to say though I put it back in sometime over the winter and somehow that night I found more merit in it... but yeah... what ever happened to Queensryche

Im actually not "huge" on Maiden, I do have to sift through songs but I think they are quite a bit different from european melodic power metal and I never recall getting that vib from Maiden chorus's that for what ever reason powermetal bands just "have to do". As well as the high speed chord pedals and bass drumming. I can dig a good Maiden gallop, I think theres a difference.

How the fuck could Rhapsody afford that..? Chris Lee a personal fan?

Song sucks ass btw.

 

[razoredge]

[Ryan M.]

I love Rhapsody

 

[Krowsnest]

I love Rhapsody

and Frozen Tears of Angels kicks ass; mostly because its the only album by them I own lol

and I loved Chris Lee's Intro with the cheest crown in "Unholy Warcry", I think he sings great in Magic of the Wizards Dream......prefer it to Charlemagne

 

[\m/Øyvind\m/]

Reign Of Terror is the most Epic Rhapsody song EVER!!!!!!
That song almost made it worth buying the album alone
