When are you guys releasing the CD in the US? I haven't heard anything this cool since Edguy's Mandrake.

 

[Symphony]

Thanks for the positive feedback mate!

Well a great power metal band from UK is Shadowkeep ...they simply shreeeeeeeeeed!

 

[veil the sky]

damn right they do!

and they live down the road from me

hehe

 

[TimPhallicide]

'Far Away' rocks very hard indeed. Great music, and fair play to you guys for daring to be that cheesy. Metaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!

 

[Symphony]

Cheers Tim! Nice one...hehe!

 

[veil the sky]

holy shit

i finally listened to the mp3s. this is the coolest thing i have ever heard in my life!! i put my skintight leathers straight on dude!

power metal is THE metal. yyeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

sad thing is that this kind of thing is infinitely more popular on the continent than in the uk. i was speaking to chris from shadowkeep who had just got back from the 'bang your head' festival where they played, he was saying that it's a totally different experience playing out there.

 

[TimPhallicide]

I think someone should do a Power Metal festival. I mean there's Bloodstock, but it wasn't too great, much as I enjoy Blind Guardian, I couldn't bring myself to pay £30 for a ticket. We need a show with:

Lost Horizon - This band are truly amazing, they equal Nile in my 'favourie bands of all time' rankings.
HammerFall - A little formulaic, but fun as fuck.
Rhapsody - What needs to be said about this band? They absolutely own the genre. There is no cheesy extreme to which they will not go.
Dragonforce and Power Quest - British fuckin' talent!!!

 

[veil the sky]

i'd sure as dammmit go!

let's organise it ourselves tim!

 

[TimPhallicide]

I've been thinking about it, and maybe next year I will. In the meantime, I'm gonna badger the fuck out of Bloodstock to do it!
