Keyboards in Metal

[metalpest]

I've been listening to a lot of Imperanon lately and really enjoying it. I would like to find another heavy band with lots of fast keyboarding and soloing like Imperanon or Children of Bodom. Any suggestions?

 

[Feel_The_Force]

Kalmah, Norther, Threshold, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Skyfire, Eternal Tears Of Sorrow. Dragonforce etc. Loads of bands have it nowadays

 

[The Bringer]

Yes, keyboards are becoming very popular. Check out Nightwish (Oceanborn and Wishmaster albums for the most keyboard usage) and check out Sonata Arctica. They include multiple keys and guitar solos in each song.

jep when I read this I just thought about Norther and Sonata Arctica but I think Dark Tranquility also have keyboards

 

[Wings of a dream]

How come Stratovarius is not mentioned?

This guy, could give any other keyboard player mentioned here, a hard time.

 

[Nick Brookes]

Stratovarius rape with keyboards

 

[Leandro]

Rick Wakeman isn't metal, but imo is the best keyboard player alive

I do like Stratovarius, but I'm looking for something more extreme. Fast keys like strato but with more extreme guitars and vocals, like what Imperanon has done.

Kalmah and Norther are alright, but they never really wowed me. I may just give them another spin to see if things have changed.

Dimmu Borgir has an amazing keyboardist

 

[Noble Viking]

Warmen, Adagio, Yngwie,

 

[GhostOfPerdition]

Warmen is metal? From the single I heard it sounded like a joke band

 

[goth_fiend]

go pick up unknown soldier then brother, you will see they arent a joke, that is some awesome shit!

yea dude, Imperanon is great. Although im not sure if you would like their newer stuff. Its a tad different.. but then again all ive heard is demos so nothing is studio recorded.

Teemu joining the band now and all I see no doubt in that they have changed.. how are the guitars? faster, more sweeps, and more advanced maybe? can you by any chance send me those demos?

 

[AVERSION TO LIFE]

WHAT ABOUT EDGE OF SANITY.....

 

[Curt Q.]
