The "Bands more like...." Thread

[Undefined]

I would like to know if there are any bands out there like Sonata Arctica.

And just so this thread isn't a total waste, others can request bands that are more like _____. We all know a lot of music so hopefully we can help each other out. Thanks!

Stratovarius? Kinda like Sonata...

 

[Dunununuuu-NUNUNU]

bands like...uhm. CoB
In matter of melodies. Not vocals. And not because it's death metal. I'm not even that much of a metal guy. More of a prog rock, 80s hard rock, "guitar hero" (Steve Vai, Satriani, Eklundh) guy

To be honest, I actually can't think of a band that is significantly similiar to SA.

Me either, Angra is a band that SORT of comes close at times... on a few songs anyways.

 

[Altitudes]

I dunno, when I think power metal I think angra, 3 inches of bllod, gamma ray, iced earth, I sppose blind guarden, dragonforce, and... others ha! You probably heard of all of them though.

Of cousre, I am probably forgeting many other bands.

 

[Undefined]

Well I know good powermetal, I have a wide music knowledge and I still CAN'T think of a band that comes close to Sonata's sound, EXCEPT a Thyrfing covers of 'Over the Hills'.

there pretty great, not sure if threy sound like SA but they are good. Did you recieve my pm? UM fucks up alot!

 

[Chairman Kaga]

Anything out there like Early Bodom? (something wild to be specific) where it combines Neo-classical metal with harsh vocals? No fucking clean vocals, there's too much of that with neo-classical already

No I didn't.

how about adagio?

I think Adagio doesn't really sound very similar to SA at all. It sounds a bit more like Yngwie Malmsteen actually.
