Thanks for the info.. I'll tin-can it over there & check them out I do have the 'Best Of Warlord' CD here somewhere but that's the only one.
If you DO have "Best Of Warlord" keep that treasure like golden plated uranium since is all the material they did and the album is absolutely OOP. I managed to got it some years ago at e-Bay and was a real jackpot.
'Speed Of Sound', 'The Bell' & 'Rhapsody' are my faves on it. The songwriting is very good but overall, not epic sounding enough for my tastes.
I still welcome any recommendations so don't hesitate to suggest.
Take care-

'Rhapsody' is my fave from the album. Lana's albums are never epic, is more a melodic rock with progressive overtones and some symphonic hits. SOA was my fist since Arjen Lucassen played on it, but I do recommend "Lady Macbeth", "Garden Of The Moon" and "Project Shangri-La". If you become a fan like I did I also recommend to get her stuff directly from

I always got them delivered and the prices are absolutely sensible even for the Japan imported material. Also at a time I was able to get some Ayreon stuff there which was of course ultra cool.
If you liked Lana check her work with Ayreon "The Universal Migrator: The Dream Sequencer" and "Ayreonauts Only".
Also some other female fronted material that may appeal to you:
Within Temptation - "Mother Earth"
Lacuna Coil - "Unleashed Memories"
Kurgan's Bane - "The Future Lies Broken"
Dunwich (all three albums if you can get any of them)
Mastermind - "Angels Of The Apocalypse"
Moon Of Steel - "Insignificant Details"
Blackmore's Night (any/all of them)
And on another level:
Benedictum
Warlock
Sinergy
Rock Goddess
Girlschool
Nightwish
Beholder
Black Widow
