Some prog/power albums I've been spinning as of late...

[MadeInNewJersey]

No, it says "L'amh."

 

[Erik]

same shit.

 

[JayKeeley]

does that fucknig say LAWN.

"Ainged Lamb". And you can read runes. Pfft.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

That's a big sword.

 

[General Zod]

I have the Airged Lamh Promo!!! Should I listen to it tonight?!!!

I'd like to hear this.

[JayKeeley]

JayKeeley, go back and revisit Airged Lamh - The Silver Arm. Album of the Decade so far.

Can you suggest any specific standout tracks...'cos I'm having a hard time finding one.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Ali, give me that album. Now.

 

[JayKeeley]

OK I'll get it to you by way of Zod. [/winkwink]

Actually, as it plays on, I suddenly realize there is a huge Thrash element to this album. Maybe it's because I just listened to "State of Euphoria" but I dunno, this is like thrash/heavy/folk'ish metal. It's just an oddity really....I bet I'll be digging this on the 2nd listen.

EDIT: It's early Blind Guardian!! Now I've got my finger on it. It's when BG were speed tolkien metal.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

As thrash as "Walls Of Jericho" (one of the biggest influences of the album imo) is.

 

[JayKeeley]

The vocals aren't strong, they actually let the album down somewhat. This is no Scalzi, Kiske, or Kursch let me tell you.

I'm pretty sure early Blind Guardian is the band that comes up most often as an influence to this band.

Did you just rank Scalzi with Kiske? Perhaps you mean Tommy Kiske? Or maybe Jonathan Kiske?

Zod

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Who the fuck is Scalzi?

 

[General Zod]

Who the fuck is Scalzi?

The dude who sings for both Hammers and Slough Feg.

Zod

 

[JayKeeley]

Did you just rank Scalzi with Kiske?

Scalzi = Slough Feg
Kiske = Helloween
Kursch = Blind Guardian

Airged L'amh is a combination of those three bands, hence the comparison to whoever sings on this CD. Hang on...his name is Steve Venardo.

Gotcha.

The holy pantheon of vocalists:
Dickinson
Tate
Halford
Kiske

You forgot Dio.

Jorn Lande will be up there soon too, just as soon as he releases more than 1 stellar album.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Dio's great, but just not up there with the 4 I mentioned, IMO. He's got a powerful voice, an unmistakeable voice, obviously, but nowhere near the range of those 4 greats.

F Jorn Lande.

Which is ironic because he's a better live singer than any of them TODAY.
