After a recommendation of a good friend I tried me some Symphorce. I was a bit skeptic because I was afraid they would sound like a weenie Euro-power metal band.

WRONG!!!!

What a powerful band this is! I just love it. And then to come here and see Pabla as the moderator! :) :wave:

Thanks JD for the recommendation!

Ha ha that explains; in my options I have checked "Do not show sigs". So I never see those promotion banners :)

Anyway I have been to the website and it looks really good. Now I must get me some more Symphorce!

If you Symphorce you should definately check out Brainstorm(if you havent already). Both bands have the same singer.
I know, I have seen Brainstorm live twice. Once with an other singer
@ Wacken 1999. This was before Andy came on board. Alas, I don't like Brainstorm as well as I do Symphorce. I am looking for an certain edge which I think Symphorce has and Brainstorm misses as far as I am concerned.

But thanks for the tip. I appreciate the effort :)

Ah Shucks I dont know about amazing ... Symphorce is a Great band that Really takes the Old Trad/Powermetal Formula and throws alot of different Flavors in the mix with out losing its Balls hahahaha Accessable but still Heavy Metal ... I think Everybody should be listening to them ... and once I'm done they will be :loco: ....hahah Your welcome :D

That's exactly how I felt about Sym the first time I heard them... I do love powermetal but a lot of times it gets "too way over the top" and sorta "cheesy" not that cheese it bad :loco: but I do like my metal a lot of the times with "rougher edges" :headbang:

Sounds like you are on a mission for world domination :heh:

Cheese is good when used correctly but some bands are to much lol ... Symphorce just Kicks Ass! Heavy Rythems with Excellent Vocals ... I have noticed that some ppl say that Brainstorm are heavier I totally disagree ... hehehhe World Domination through sound I will make it happen or Die trying!!!:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: ................. :loco:

how much of a difference in sound is there from brainstorm and symphorce as I really dig brainstorm?

what symphorce cd would you recommend as a good starting point?
IMO Brainstorm sound more like Germanic Powermetal and Symphorce has more of an American Powermetal Sound ... though Vocally Andy is Fantastic both bands :) .... I would say to Get Twice Second .. that was my first and it blew me away ... PhorcefulAhead is pretty good too:D ...... I think if you like Brainstorm you will Prolly like Symphroce too

JD got you hooked too? Hahaha! You know if JD and the Hawk approve it must be good ;)

Well I acted on JD's recommendation, gave the album a spin at work and it gets a definite thumbs up from me. Good to find another great new band. I hope to have many more great Symphorce experiences in the future :)

I'm Glad you liked em dude! I knew you would ... you like Blaze :D and that spells goodtaste for music, What did ya think of the Belladonna album? There are some Stand out tunes on that album ... anyway Keep Rockin :headbang:
 
I don't find it nu-metallish at all........if a modern sound implied nu-metal perhaps I could agree.
They have 3 more albums out. Just click on the bandlogo on the top of the page to check their homepage w/ reviews.
