Resurrected Power Metal Thread

[ArneZ]

Damn, now I even wanted to check them out even closer. And a lol for the 90%+ ratings on the album reviews on http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=377

Edit: I like this, a little gay for sure. But thats exactly how its suppose to sound. Have not heard too much power metal these last years. And as former members of Luciferion which is one of the coolest fucking death metal bands im going to eat this shit right up. Thanks for the rec.

WeAreInFlames: Your nick alone makes nothing you say worth taking seriously. I'll agree with you on the silly name thing, though. Other than that, the band is fucking untouchable.

 

[JGMetalhead]

I think the primary reason I stopped listening to LH for about 2 years is because I got bored of them. But at some point I remember enjoying them. The singer is quite unique tbh.

 

[Cronopio]

The singer and the atmosphere are what make LH. To be honest, the rhythm guitars on AFTTGB are pretty muddy, for one, and all their pseudophilosophical bullshit really grates after a while, especially since they seem to be unable to decide on carrying on or breaking up. It's only been seven years since the last album.

You are all colossal faggots. Every last fucking one of you.

 

[J.]

im not a huge power metal guy, but LH is definitely one of the better ones ive heard.

 

[rms]

pretty much true J, only one i might listen to now and again would be Rhapsody but ya LH rules

 

[J.]

early rhapsody isnt so bad, but man, those three fairyland albums trump rhapsody and take the cake for velveeta metal for me

 

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

WAIF you are outnumbered; surrender at once.

 

[rms]

early rhapsody isnt so bad, but man, those three fairyland albums trump rhapsody and take the cake for velveeta metal for me

when i was in that phase i gave that fairyland a listen once and wasnt impressed, legendary tales/symphony and power of the dragonflame are just to stellar. Oh ya early Nightwish rules too for that

 

[JGMetalhead]

AFTTGB definitly had some moments, I wouldn't consider that album awful but average at best, for a metal album anyway. For a power metal album, its definitly above par compared to alot of corny ass bands.

 

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

IMO, it has way too much filler but the songs that rule are awesome (when they aren't overextending them, anyway).

 

[JGMetalhead]

Highlights are Again Will The Fire Burn, Think Not Forever, and Pure.

 

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

I would agree with that, I actually think Cry of a Restless Soul > Again Will the Fire Burn but to each his own.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Yea thats another highlight, totally forgot that one. Pretty close with those two actually.

 

[rms]

never saw any difference between either cd really, just that 1 has a like 20 minute ender and the other has a like 8, thats probably their only flaw

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

A Flame to the Ground Beneath has the best vocal performance EVER. PERIOD.

 

[DarkBliss]

So what's like the best power metal album? Bear in mind, I love Nightwish.

 

[RedFox742]

I stick to my guns. "Land of the Free," Gamma Ray. It's just perfect.

If you're a die-hard Finn-fan, though, "Reckoning Night" by Sonata Arctica also places in my top 5.

Other opinions welcome.

 

[DarkBliss]

Cheers, gonna check em out. Mind you, I love/like cult bands like Helstar and Fates Warning as well, but I thought I'd ask for something less obvious. Lost Horizon is pretty decent from what I remember. Haven't listened to it much though.
