Days of the Lost. Why? It's closer to the kind of music that I like to listen at the most.@eochaid So out of curiosity, what's your favorite between 1696 and DotL?
The day you stop shitting on IF records is the day your passion for music dies. Unlike IF, you don't need to go back to da rootz, since you've never gone away from da rootz
That's really interesting though, I don't really have UK equivilent story to compare. Our metal scene has pretty much been shit for as long as I've been alive and aware of music. Pretty much all good UK metal bands came into existence before I was born. Maiden, Priest, Black Sabbath, etc. A few decent bands here and there post-90s - Dragonforce, Architects, Evile, Alestorm, Power Quest, Fellowship - also bullshit like Cradle of Filth and Bring Me the Horizon - but in reality it's been fucking slim pickings here since the 80s ended. Thank god for internet and access to the global music scene.
You know me, I'm all about the rootz.
Well, UK still has a much better situation than most other countries. But, as things are global now, guess local scene just isn't as important.
I have to say I'm pretty pessimistic regarding the future of the whole genre. In Serbia, I struggle to remember an active band, good or bad.
Globally, a lot of shit coming out. But not much good or interesting stuff.
That, or I'm getting really old.
Dude. We have never had good metal bands. Or good rock bands. Or good bands. Our music is shit.
Kind of a shame if they just disbanded after that first album, as it seemed like they had something interesting going on there. Oh well, still bringing respect to Serbian metal
Speaking of Iron Maiden, have you checked out The Raven Age? It's a band with Steve Harris' son as one of the guitarists. Check out their Conspiracy album in particular.That's really interesting though, I don't really have UK equivilent story to compare.
