Resurrected Power Metal Thread

[Orion Crystal Ice]

I don't know how to logically argue something which is subjective to such an overwhelmingly individual and huge extent, so I won't.

I haven't listened to these guys in a while, but some discussion in another thread got me thinking about them. I think they're pretty badass traditional power metal.

[Krigloch the Furious]

the vocals arent good enough for me. It's just the same thing throughout the entire song.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Not big on Iron Fire either..

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I figure I'll post some Secret Sphere songs so you n00bs can get into a good band:

 

[XSASweet]

the new hibria song.



it is fuckin amazing

 

[mutantllama]

Can't listen to it now, because I'm at school, but I'm guessing it's fucking awesome.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I really can't get into Hibria, just something about it. I expect I will get dissed for this.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

*disses you*

 

[Ross]

fuck yes new hibria

NP: Hibria - a kingdom to share

 

[Tennyson]

I really can't stand traditional power metal vocals, but with Hibria the instrumental work is so awesome I can listen to it.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

I really must be missing something.

I'm not hearing much beef instrumentally at all, and overall it just comes off like the speed-version of a HammerFall type of thing, where everything is vanilla and rehashed to the core...or Primal Fear, except, I can remember a Primal Fear song..as painful as that is to say.

I would love if someone could tell me why the band gets more fresh praise than a lot of other power metal with beefier and more interesting instrumentation and hooks.

It isn't BAD, but really, what's going on?

Same with me. the vocals are what turn me off.

 

[Ross]

Iuri Sanson is one of the greatest PM vocalists

 

[Tennyson]

Too typical imo. I'd rather power metal vocals be more diverse like Falconer (excluding albums with Kristoffer Gobel), Kiuas or Sabaton.


edit:But don't get me wrong, he is excellent for that style.

 

[Hypnos]

to me, the two power-metal albums of the past few years, that stand out high above all the others are:

Wuthering Heights 'The Shadow Cabinet'

and

Pharaoh 'Be Gone'

 

[Ross]

The shadow cabinet is awesome
wouldent call it straight out PM though

 

[Janga666]

Me too

 

[Janga666]

Wuthering Heights 'The Shadow Cabinet'

Wuthering Heights kick ass . My favorite by them is "Far From The Madding Crowd".

 

[Blind Guardian]

That Irish folk song they covered on Far From The Madding Crowd is awesome.
