Biomechanical video (x-post)

Originally posted by lee_b on the PM board, but I thought many of you on this board would want to see this. These guys MUST play ProgPower next year, because every ProgPower show needs a dark power metal band, to balance out the "happy" power metal. (NOTE: I know many of you are sensitive about the term "happy" or "cheesy" power metal; I don't have anything against the style. Don't get offended.)

: Please choose the large Quicktime version if possible. The sound
: on the other formats is compressed to buggery (we're working on
: it.. Will be fixed ASAP). Anyway, it's a great video (IMO) so
: enjoy.

: The album's out in Europe today. I have a feeling that Earache's
: US webstore are sending the CD out now to US customers, but it's
: probably best to ask first.

Bad Rob Halford impersonation, but they definitely show promise...l have the cd, so l've turned it a few times.

I still think the material on Eight Moons is better than the material on Empires of the Worlds, although the production is much better this time. The video was pretty cool, and I hope to see them at PP sometime soon.

I absolutely love this song, and this band. I hope I can find their album some place other than online, I dont really like mail order ( no patience). I could only pray that they will play Progpower next year.

didn't like the song much, too much bass, not enough catchiness. I liked John K a lot more with Balance of Power

Being a huge Rob Halford fan I don't know if comparing Jon from Biomechanical to him is accurate. The guy can scream like nobody's business is all I know! He reminds me of a harder edged Alan Tecchio (Watchtower) and maybe at times reminiscent of Halford. Someone else I can't quite put my finger on.

I love these guys! I haven't heard the second album yet except the video but I LOVE the first album.

Biomechanical is awesome. I think they are ahead of their time. I agree with the production, both albums have weak production...hopefully they will resolve this on their next disc.

Pretty cool.

I would say maybe a cross between Rob Halford and OLD Fates Warning or Crimson Glory....

But definitely have their own flare...Like it.

May be in with the next big purchase (comin soon, overdue!!)

These guys sound to me like what you would get if you took a band like Adema (also signed to Earache now!) and threw in a guy who wants to be Rob Halford. I commend them for doing something different, but it's a rare moment for anything resembling bounce metal to sound decent.


Stay metal. Never rust.
