[Genius Gone Insane]

One of the cool things about real death metal is that it is found nowhere on this thread.

 

[STINNETT]

Because there is really no such thing as a Death Metal chorus?

 

[Metaltastic]

Sonata Arctica - Dream Thieves

I have all of Sonata's studio albums, but I've never heard of this song...

And speaking of Sonata, I have to give this shameless plug - in October 2006 (pre-shoulder tattoos), I played a show with an on-campus cover band I was in (for a class called Rock Combo, if you can believe it), and we covered "The Cage" - the big girl was our main singer, and she was actually good (though a total drama queen bitch), but she got the little girl to do guest vox, and yes, I know, she's horrible.

BUT - I'm very proud of my versions of the opening KEYBOARD solo (oy...) and the solo at 3:57, so those are the parts worth watching

 

[K Odell]

This is why I started this thread haha. Its reminded me of a lot of really great songs.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Edguy- Rise of the Morning Glory
Stratovarius- Tomorrow
Sonata Arctica- Weballergy, Don't say a Word
Sabaton- 40 to 1
Killswitch Engage- Numbered Days
Theocracy- ON EAGLE'S FUCKIN WINGS!!!!
Helloween- Dr. Stein
Behmoth- Any song.

 

[Torniojaws]

I have all of Sonata's studio albums, but I've never heard of this song...

Dream Thieves was a b-side/Japanese bonus track. I think the original release was on the Broken CDS:

And it was also released on the Takatalvi EP:

well, you need to hear it asap!

And The Cage is awesome! That leadsynth is THE tone I would like to have.

 

[STINNETT]

Cynic - The Circle's Gone

Are you referring to the Portal song?

I'm surprised to see that anybody else here is into that.

 

[LydonB]

One of the cool things about real death metal is that it is found nowhere on this thread.

Opeth?

I would say Bloodbath has some pretty brutal ass choruses.

 

[Metaltastic]

well, you need to hear it asap! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dyCFJXcXak

Pretty cool song, though I can see it was a B-side, cuz it's a little random at times, like a lot of Unia (sounds like it's from that era).

And The Cage is awesome! That leadsynth is THE tone I would like to have.

What'd you think of my version?

 

[_Brutalism_]

Going slightly off topic here, sorry, but maybe more of you will be interested...

Metalhead28, yes I am! I have the re-released version of Focus : [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Focus-Cynic/dp/B0002ZYDXS[/ame]. It includes this song as a bonus track from the Portal demo as well with Cynic's new song and other goodies such as remixed tracks. The booklet is orgasm-inducing.

It is probably one of my most prized musical possessions. Please get it if you are a Cynic fan. Amazing presentation and booklet. Cynic have inspired me musically and are up there in my list of favourite bands. Top 3 definitely.

PS - Great idea for a thread for a reference to find new bands and songs!

What'd you think of my version?

Dream thieves is obviously too good for the A side.
The song is very dark though. It's not the typical sonata arctica song, because of its different style/feel. Perhaps that's why I think it's so good.


I didn't hear the intro solo that good, but it sounded alright. The real solo was spot on.

Oh, I've got it.

Along with the original edition CD, the original edition on Vinyl, and every demo they ever put out. I'm a Cynic maniac.

They are my favorite band by several orders of magnitude.

 

[paladin shredder]

These are my favorite chorus's in no order

Queen - We Are the Champions
Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills
Sonata Arctica - Fullmoon (RUNAWAY RUNAWAY RUNAWAY!!)
Blind Guardian - Quest for Tanelorn
Dimmu Borgir - Progenies of the Great Apocalypse (singing part, not quite sure if it's technically a chorus)
In Flames - Artifacts of the Black Rain
Masterplan - Into the Light
Symphony X - Of Sins and Shadows
Arch Enemy - Ravenous
Deadsy - Mansion World (who the fuck listens to deadsy anymore?? if at all)

i didn't realize there was such a big sonata fanbase here! they are in my all time favorite bands of all time.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Oh shit. MASTERPLAN- WOUNDS

I MUST RISEEEEE FROM THE SORRROOOWWW.

 

[Morgan C]

I couldn't possibly place these in any order, but..

Chimaira - Resurrection
Daylight Dies - A Portrait in White (what I'd consider the chorus anyway, it has no vocals)
In Flames - lots off RtR. Cloud Connected, Dismiss the Cynics, Trigger in particular
Kamelot - Soul Society
Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum
Opeth - Bleak
Sonata Arctica - Caleb
Tool - Vicarious
Vanden Plas - Gethsemane (I think this is a cover)
