i've hit this odd stride of prog metal lately...

Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden

Stratovarius - Father Time

Rhapsody - Thunder's Mighty Roar

Nightwish

i don't know why or how but its just been in the playlist a lot lately.

especially iced earth - the three piece rollout of the Battle of Gettysburg was pretty damn awesome.

that whole album was like a non-judgemental history lesson with a few other great figures from humanity added as well.
 
Symphony X/The Divine Wings of Tragedy, or Odyssey
Stratovarius/ Visions
Evergrey/ The Inner Circle
Angra/ Rebirth
Zero Hour/ Specs of pictures burnt beyond
Pagan's mind/ Celestial entrance
Balance of power/ Perfect Balance
Ark/ burn the sun
Andromeda/ Extension of the wish
Spiral Architect/ A Sceptic's Universe......amazing technical playing
Twisted into Form/Then Comes affliction to Awaken the Dreamer.......spiral architect's guitar player
Check them out a very good mix of prog/power
 
WHat are some good current (can be new bands or just new releases) that have actual singing? I just cant get into the screaming thing. There are a lot of talented musicians out there and the music is realy good, I just cant get down with the screaming. Call me old school I dont know..... Sorry for the hijak
 
Here are some of the newer bands that I've gotten into. Headless Cross takes me back to the early kickass days of 80s metal.

FIREWIND - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=78242147&MyToken=0ecbe912-6823-4cc8-8d32-5d5dcfbfbc69

HEADLESS CROSS - (I'd like to see these guys get big!) http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=22831114&MyToken=50de1913-4f94-4666-9e93-bf607d8c97ee

MINDCAGE - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=54977037&MyToken=939b8359-4ce6-4ad7-9911-3f50e5d4918b

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=7066776&MyToken=0bb98248-94d2-45ed-ad2e-2a7613ca3739

TRIVIUM - (Their new stuff has much less screaming than their older stuff. You can actually understand them now.) Great bunch of guys, too.http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=5047134&MyToken=161dfe51-bac9-4afe-9e22-b59d3809f53c


:headbang:
 
VOLBEAT http://www.myspace.com/volbeat (Check out "The Gardens Tale" that has ended up with massive airplay on national danish radio!) www.volbeat.dk

Their 2nd album "Rock The Rebel/Metal The Devil" came out 2 weeks ago, and it kicks ass! Think 'Metal meets 50s rock n´ roll meets Johnny Cash meets Danzig' or something like that.

The new album has sold 5000+ copies since it came out 2 weeks ago, which is HUGE for a Danish band, let alone a metal band!

edit: They actually top the official Danish (top-selling) chart !!!! http://www.hit-listen.dk/ And their 1st album is no. 21!!!! :OMG: Fucking insane....

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
 
I got my hands on a bunch of old Raven CDs on MP3... brought back a lot of memories. Everyone slags "The Pack Is Back," but I kinda think fondly of it, as it was the first Raven album I ever owned.
 
i'm listening to the new "kittie" cd right now. i like it :)

i also bought a copy of iron maidens "death on the road" dvd at best buy. a lonesome copy just sitting on the shelf. i thought this dvd was recalled. either it got lost in the shuffle or got released finally. i know there was a problem with on of the discs.

Even though they incorporate some death vocals you really need to give Into Eternity a chance:

TBH Iced Earth has done so many others Killer albums, The glorious burden it's their lower point in the discography imho.

Try "Night Of The Stormrider" for a great trilogy (the first three tracks) or the song "Dante's Inferno" to see how 16 mins tracks can bow you down to your knees like this -->:OMG:

i'm surprised they had a copy at my local hip hop music store i mean best buy in the ghetto.

after i got past the first 2 songs with out going into a siezure the editing slowed down and i was able to enjoy the concert. also the bonus disc kicks some major fucking ass with over 2 hours of behind the scenes stuff vids and interviews. well worth 21 american dollars.

mr bong i raise my coffee cup to you, you are a gentleman and a scholar :kickass:
