Okay well first of all, hey. Over the past few months I have been a sort of newcomer to the heavy metal genere. I really do not know exactly what sparked an interest in this kind of music, but the band that I have most currently revolved around was Iron Maiden. Yeah they've been around since the early 80s but I am still captivated by many of their good songs. Their album I have gotten most into was Brave New World, which is their latest one, because well they seem to really show their maturity and experience in their whole career. But hey I do like some of their older stuff.
I have also gotten well into music by Anathema, also more into their more recent albums. I like much of their stuff. It touches my heart and reminds me of deep feelings I have felt inside of me during certain experiences I had in life. Anathema music as it turned out to me, has alot of emotion and it fits me because I often tend to be self-absorbed on certain outlooks on life.
I have also been trying to appreciate music from bands such as the Swedish In Flames, and Blind Guardian, but couldn't seem to get into their much of their work. Ah but well I did find one In Flames song that I found rather powerful, and that was Colony. The instrumentals of that song simply took me for a ride. Same thing with Valhalla, which is an old song by Blind Guardian. I don't know how my brain got to appreciate these songs.
So based on what I said so far, what would you reccomend for me? Is there anyone similar to Maiden or Anathema? Or any song I might find as stimulating as Colony or Valhalla? Like I said, I'm trying to expand my taste. I get all my music using KaZaA, the official successor to Napster. So I don't have any problems of buying music.
