Alrighty then. I'll keep that in mind.

Wow, LOL at that cover.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Well not every cover is awsome you know. Unfortunately...

 

[RedFox742]

What do you mean it's not awesome?!

I <3 Black Majesty, hahah.

 

[Krow]

So, Iron Savior... Yes.

 

[J.]

Yes. Condition Red is awesome.

 

[Krow]

The only one I've heard so far is Megatropolis. I'm really liking it so I'm looking forward to hearing more.

Eternity is win, Condition Red is win.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Black Majesty is good. Personally, I always dig Iron Savior, epic stuff.

 

[RedFox742]

I usually tell people that the first song that got me into power metal was DragonForce's "Evening Star", but the truth is, I heard Iron Savior's "Battering Ram" and "Warrior" at about the same time. It was upon looking up both bands and finding they shared a common genre that I knew I'd found the music style for me.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Power metal is good indeed, I started out there. Now I've expanded my tastes throughout metal and all kinds of music.

The songs that got me into power metal are Blind Guardian's "Battlefield" and Iced Earth's "Pure Evil".

 

[Einherjar86]

The new While Heaven Wept album totally slays. It's heavy, epic, and at times a bit doomy (although far more power metal-influenced). Definitely a must though for fans of the genre, and probably one of the best albums of last year (in my opinion).

Power metal is good indeed, I started out there. Now I've expanded my tastes throughout metal and all kinds of music.

I hear this from a lot of people, that they started liking traditional, power, or prog metal, then expanded into extreme metal. Having been on the former side a good four years now, with absolutely no interest in going further than some thrash and a very little bit of melodeath, it's just not working for me.

It's funny, power/prog is my favorite style, but anything much heavier I can't get into (and I really have tried)... but on the other side (alternative, hard-rock, classic rock) I totally can. But the power/prog scene is far more entwined with the metal scene than the rock one, if that makes any sense. I'm rambling, and I'm fairly sure I'll get made fun of for this, but what the hell. I like what I like.

And I really like this.

Listening to Edguy's Theater of Salvation now. I'd forgotten what a monster this album is.

 

[JGMetalhead]

That album seems to have quite an amount of solid tracks. I remember giving it quite a few spins.

 

[Einherjar86]

So Trihexyn is pretty fucking sick. Here's a link to their myspace:

The track "Gods on Earth" is awesome.

Anyways fucking amazing band.
