Kiuas for Prog!

[DEATHZILLA]

Kiuas destroy me with Metal Fury! They are very technical. Great guitar work @ progressive in their style swinging from Power Metal to Melodic Metal, and Black metal, to the crushing Thrash and the awsome keybord work thrown in with Clean good vocals with growls well placed. I cant say enough about this band would love to see them at Prog. With 2 cds out on SpineFarm well worth people to listen too!

 

[J-Man]

I second that!!!!!!

[General Zod]

They're the best band people haven't heard of.

Zod

Agreed. Dying to see them live.....anywhere.

 

[Harvester]

This is a prime example of a band that should submit material for consideration. I have never heard the band so its a bit late for this year.

I find it amusing that I HAVE heard of them and have one of their CDs, versus not knowing as intimately any of the bands announced for this years bill. My world works funny.

We should fix this by having them play ProgPower!

Straight from their website (www.kiuas.net), here's a few one minute samples for three songs off the newest album Reformation:

No question in my mind these guys would fit in great at Progpower.

Contact information available at their website on the Links-page
Their MySpace seems to be available for invited friends only at the moment.

Their newest, Reformation (2006) is a great album, but IMO, The Spirit Of Ukko (2005) is even better Pay especially attention to the vocalist Ilja Jalkanen's strong and flexible voice. Da man rocks big time.

Also, here's the complete video for their song "Winter in June" off the "Winter in June" mini-cd:

Sent them a message on Myspace. They probably have no idea anyone hear listens to them.

I agree, about their cds. Like Reformation but totally LOVE Spirit Of Ukko. It's one of my favortie cd's. Almost never comes out of rotation. Both cd's should make it onto BeyondEarCandy radio this weekend.

NP-Sphere of Souls- From the Ashes

This stuff is cool as all hell! Great dark, thrashy power metal... sounds like something that any fan of Brainstorm, Tad Morose, Morgana Lefay, or Tarot would go apeshit for.

I'm not hearing any black metal influence in there anywhere... can someone put up some clips of that?

I don't have any clips of it, but if you can, check out the song "Black Winged Goddess." It has sort of black-metalish drumming during the intro. They have another song that has a lot of black-metal-like tremolo picking, but I'm drawing a blank as to which song it is. I guess I just have to listen to the albums again!

 

[Cheiron]

A very good band. I hope they will be here next year.

 

[KaptainKrude]

I'd be all about having Kiuas on board for PPUSA.
