I thought that metal was facing an evolution process...

[Ecto]

...but then bands like Hammerfall, Edguy, Crystal Eyes and others came with their dragons, wizards, spellbounds and stuff...this is sad.

 

[avi]

are you saying that songs about dragons are a bad thing?!

Rhapsody - Triumph For My Magic Steel

Flies to where old dragons are lying
the cry for the triumph for my magic sword
Burns the pride of my mighty conscience
while rises the sceptre of our wise lord

So thunder and storm, the rage of the sword
the fury of my war
The axe of the dwarf, the blood on the stone
the scream for the eternal

Rage in the wind at the triumph for my magic steel
you will taste the blade of the ancient sword... and
Rage in the wind at the triumph for my magic steel
led by hundreds of mighty and fallen lords

Dead, laments and unholy sorrow
The heads of the fallen are staining the snow
May this be the last hated cruel war
I'm looking at my skies but they answer not!

So thunder and storm, the rage of the sword
the fury of my war
The axe of the dwarf, the blood on the stone
the scream for the eternal

Rage in the wind at the triumph for my magic steel
you will taste the blade of the ancient sword... and
Rage in the wind at the triumph for my magic steel
led by hundreds of mighty and proudly fallen brave lords

Old cathedrals dusty graves where nest the seeds of holy victory
Blood from old crypts gushing out to drown the deadly cosmic enemy
Steel all around for the king and his crown
Winds of the dawn are caressing us all...
Ancelot smiles at the knights' epic cry
Thanks to the old and their emerald sword
The kingdom is now hailing the triumph over Dargor
and he the man from Loregard he stands in front of all... of all!

 

[Ecto]

avi, the music can be good...I'm telling about the concept these bands are bringing back from the past...you know...

 

[deadair]

avi = "lightning bolt"

 

[azal]

haha!

 

[avi]

the classics will never die!


(more 'new-style' bands like Isis should start singing about dragons and wizards)

 

[deadair]

i'll will punch ISIS in the collective bean-bag if that happens...

 

[Stultus]

They have been notified and have already taken measures to protect their collective bean-bag.

 

[Baliset]

ecto i agree with you but i have to say that edguy kicked ass when i saw them live. cheesy lyrics or not they know how to put on a good show.

 

[avi]

I guess it's up to me to make sure that the classic themes live on!

 

[Baliset]

i have got a whole album written of songs about dragons and wizards.



well not really...

 

[Demonspell]

Unfortunately, bands that seem committed to expanding the parameters of metal are greatly outnumbered by regressive and powerless bands like Hammerfall and their ilk...

 

[metalathiest]

Edguy kicks so much ass!

 

[FrostGiant]

I like some of that music. What I don't like is when a band puts out a bunch cds and they all sound the same (stratovarious). Rhapsody aint bad, but they too forgot that you can write more than one song.
