The Power metal thread

[skeptik]

Owens is in very large part a fucking Halford clone. I'm sure he would admit this himself if he hasn't before, so you can stop defending him, Mort.

Also, fuck the both of them and fuck the vast majority of Iced Earth's work and everyone else associated with the band aside from DiGiorgio.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

What of Iced Earth IS worth checking out?

 

[Mort Divine]

Uh, no he isn't. He may have the same high wails as Halford but that is about it.

EDIT: And let the record state, Owens tone during those wails is so much less annoying than Halford.

 

[skeptik]

The first 2 or 3.

 

[skeptik]

Uh, no he isn't. He may have the same high wails as Halford but that is about it.

Give up.

The only guy more blatantly parroting Halford is Ralph Scheepers or however you spell his name.

 

[Mort Divine]

Even on Painkiller - the album which Owens is the most similar to Halford on they don't sound as similar as you're making them out to be.

Give up.

what about the vocalist for 3 inches of blood?

 

[skeptik]

I'm not saying he's entirely a clone, but it's undeniable that a large part of his performance is just aping Halford. And you're a fucking loser for thinking that Halford is at all "annoying."

And Tim Owens fucking sucks and is a faggot and should stop singing (and especially writing music) and he's never sung on a good album in his life (Winter's Bane sucks).

3 Inches Of Blood is one of the most egregious affronts to Metal in the last decade.

 

[Mort Divine]

@ Winter's Bane sucking.

Heart of a Killer is one of the best US Power metal albums ever released.

 

[skeptik]

Like I'm going to respect your opinion on US Power Metal.

 

[Mort Divine]

But ... I like Jag Panzer, Helstar, Fates Warning, Virgin Steele, Sanctuary, etc.

 

[mutantllama]

What of Iced Earth IS worth checking out?

Night of the Storm Rider. My first IE cd and still my favorite.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

I never heard too much about Panzer Dragon until coming here, now you all have me really wanting to get some of their stuff. I still need to pop my Fates Warning cherry as well

 

[Hypnos]

What of Iced Earth IS worth checking out?

Night Of The Stormrider and Burnt Offerings

 

[SentinelSlain]

I like Helloween, Iced Earth, Running Wild, Royal Hunt (not sure if they belong here) and the Gamma Ray and Jag Panzer that I have heard.

I will have to check out blind guardian. I just want to use the opportunity to tell everyone how good Royal Hunt are though

Check out these songs by them

Kingdom Dark and Running Wild. thats all I know, I need to buy some of the albums, the ones on youtube of those songs are with the singer who I like.

 

[llamaking]

I like Dragonforce, Iced Earth, and some Blind Guardian.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Lost Horizon
Heavenly
Hibria
Blind Guardian
Pyramaze

 

[supseudonymous]

So what are some great/classic old-school power albums with attitude and testicles?

 

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

Crimson Glory - Transcendence

 

[xeperu]

One of the few power metal bands that I enjoy is Stratovarius, especially the earlier stuff like 'Fourth Dimension' 'Episode' and 'Destiny'. Thats pretty much the only band I can listen to regularly. I just have to be in the mood...
