Ok...CD Recommendation.......

[Wicked Child]

...I got 45 bucks left of my Birthday money(which is TODAY, by the way. 19 years old! whoo!), and i wanna get a CD, naturally. Now, the question is...what?

I want something fast, something melodic, something ballsy. Something that'll give me a nice, swift kick in the ass. Maybe really ballsy power/speed metal or SOMETHING like that. Just as long as it's fast, got balls the size of Kansas and is melodic. Shouldn't be that hard, is it?


Now, i know the problem with these threads. You don't know what i own, well.....too bad!

Please help me!

 

[_SLAYERIZED_]

fast, melodic but with balls

hehe... Maybe At the gates - Slaughter of the soul...

I am not sure...

would be good if you name one or two bands who sound fast, melodic and blasy... so that we get a picture of what you want...

btw happy birthday!

 

[Hawk]

Edguy - Hellfire Club is exactly the album you are looking for.

Happy birthday!

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Shadowkeep - A Chaos Theory
really energetic POWER metal in the vein of early Queensryche, Fates Warning, Lethal etc.
its amazing

 

[Fangface]

You may try Manticora - Hyperion

Furious, technical and melodic power/speed/thrash Metal, a fresh air in the whole melodic Metal scene.
Like a mix of Forbidden, Iced Earth and Blind Guardian...

 

[Greeno]

How about Wizard - Odin. More on the power metal side but a very cool album.

Happy birthday you old fucker!!

This sounds cool as hell! Never heard them but I want to now.

hey Greeno, check this out (full song) :
http://www.manticora.dk/sound/manticorakeeper.mp3

It's one of the softer tracks on the record, the other ones have a bit more thrash influences in the rythm department. Still there are many different parts in this song, it shows their "progressive" side.
Listen to that killer break section at 3'48"... *air drumming*

Ah, and beware the voice is a bit weird... but I love it

 

[JonnyD]

Edguy - Hellfire Club is exactly the album you are looking for.

Happy birthday!

YES FUCKING A RIGHT IT IS! the Hawk has spoken! Obey!

 

[carnut]

Ah, and beware the voice is a bit weird... but I love it

mmm, the voice is to deep for me, bit higher would do the trick, music is great though...

 

[delize]

Dew Scented - "Impact"

Speed from beginning to end, but you might not like the vocals. Hey give it a try anyway

 

[Runehammer]

GODIVA - s/t Pure arse-kicking new "old school", it's like say PARAGON with GEORGE LYNCH on guitar!

 

[Greeno]

[Runehammer]

Check 'em out at http://www.godiva.ch/ there are samples there, you need to hit "info" then MP3 once you've entered the site.

That bloody Frogface should have brought this to your attention ages ago - he's been keeping these guys to himself, damn him!

 

[Fangface]

ahah Godiva are great indeed, nothing original but they do it very well, the singer has a hell of a voice.

 

[tedvanfrehley]

Happy birthday and YES! EDGUY ELECTRIC HELLFIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't Iced Earth Playing there soon?
Save it for some I.E. stuff...

fast melodic and heavy ?

Do you have Angel Dust "Bleed" ? There is a ballad or two, but it rips.
The first Wolf CD "Wolf" is really cool.
Redemption - S/T is pretty cool as well. It's thrash prog. It features one song with Ray Alder on voz and the rest by former Steel Prophet vocalist, Rick Mythiasin.
