Eyes of Shiva-Eyes of Soul

[sixxswine]

Anyone here heard of this band?
I got a disc of theirs today & was pleasantly surprised with some
of the best power metal I have hear in a while.
They are from South America, Brazil to be exact...

 

[Wyvern]

Never heard of them. First album? Comparable to what? Any website?

 

[sixxswine]

Yes, this is their first record.
All I have is the site for the label.
www.locomotivemusic.com/
They are in the vein of Stratovarius & Hammerfall...

 

[Wyvern]

Locomotive is a Spanish label, most acts on there are from Spain, but they also has Astral Doors which is Swedish band that kick major ass, and Innerself (that band you sent me). But I could'nt find Eyes.

The Hammerfall comparison is a good sign, Strato is not.

I guess I'll have to check them to make up my mind.

I also got a disc from a band from Spain called Circus.
It's in Spanish, I haven't gotten a chance to give them a good spin yet...
I have to log on to:
www.metal-archives.com/
I'm sure they'll list the website & other onfo on both bands...

 

[sixxswine]

Wyvern, they are in the metal-archives data base, but the link that's provided for the band's website, is not good...
I will keep looking...

 

[Wyvern]

If you want to check bands from Spain from any given time I'll recommend from my own experience:

Baron Rojo (first four albums)
Azrael (four albums)
Avalanch (first three albums)
Obus (early material)


Other bands that are not faves of mine but worth to check:

Muro
Tierra Santa
Saratoga
Lujuria
Warcry
Dark Moor
Easy Rider
Angeles Del Infierno
Santa
Panzer

 

[sixxswine]

I have the last effirts from Tierra Santa & Lujuria, I will print up the list & check some of thes records out.
I have heard some Baron Rojo, but not enough to know what the band's really about...

I have heard some Baron Rojo, but not enough to know what the band's really about...

Is about some REAL old school metal/rock the way it has to be. I started with them back in 1984 and even if I stop with them after their fifth album, up to this day their songs makes me shiver to the bone.
