    Lets shift back to power metal then, anyone heard Celesty? I've only heard a few songs, but from what I have heard, they are damn good.


    Edit: Finally got Genin, go me.
    You crazy man? Finntroll is awesome! I love them lots. Folk metal is wonderful [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I heard Celesty. Even wrote a review for their first album for a big metal site. Gave it 8/10.

    Thanks a lot possible. I'll have my hands full getting hold of all the stuff you listed. I appreciate it man. Is Apocalyptica that band that does acoustic string tributes to popular metal bands?

    Nice, URL?



    To Barles, um, Apocalyptica covered Master of Puppets (the whole cd) but they also have original stuff. They use violins or cellos, or something.

    Yeah Apocalyptica! If I remember correctly, each of the band members is classically trained on cello, and their style is a unique mixing of classical and metal and...well, their own creativity. It's amazing the range of sounds they can get from their cellos to so closely mimic metal songs. As PossiblE mentionned, they also write original music which is quite musically complex and well worth the listen. One of my favourites is their cover of 'Refuse Resist' by Sepultura.

    yeah, now I remember them. They also did a tribute to undertow. It was...interesting. I'll have to check out their original material.

    This thread is slowly sinking.



    So, anyone else, other than me, think that Nevermore is just too damn good.

    @PossiblE: Here's the URL to the Celesty review: http://www.metalstorm.ee/bands/revie...and_id=celesty

    As for Apocalyptica, I dig Path. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    The newbie metal-head:
    1) FINLAND! THAT'S WHERE NIGHTWISH IS FROM! OMG! METAL!

    The "I want to die" metal-head:
    2) OMG! FINLAND! HIM! AND 15 OTHER GOTH METAL BANDS WHICH SOUNDS JUST LIKE THEM! HEAVEN! *Jumps from a cliff*

    And finally, the ones who are in love with melodic power metal of the Finnish school:
    3) STRATOVARIUS! SONATA ARCTICA! etc
    Hah, that is so true. Can't say I'm a fan of HIM either.

    That was a great review, sums up my thoughts about the band quite well, although I don't think they sound as much as Sonata as you claim.

    Thanks. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    Still think they sound almost like clones though, except Celesty has some cool medieval sounds goin' on.

    RE: METAL!!! \m/

    I don't think anyone here listens to Mushroomhead (possibly my favourite metal band at the moment) but J Mann quit [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]...damn, one of my favourite favourite bands and this happens...I can't see them being the same without both singers...they had a perfect balance dammit! Hopefully they'll be able to find a good replacement...

    Mushroomhead isn't metal, they are mallcore.

    K...

    I don't think anyone here listens to Mushroomhead (possibly my favourite mallcore/rock/nu-metal band at the moment) but J Mann quit...
    Doesn't matter to me as long as I like it, but I know some people don't like calling something like that 'metal' if it isn't the precise definition of it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

    I don't really consider such specifics in music.

    RE: METAL!!! \m/

    Today I discovered a fucking awesome new band, Turisas. They play what they call "battle metal" though the exact definition would be some kind of power/folk with growls. They make really atmospheric music and it's truly great, with big choirs and whatnot. They sound a LOT like Bal-Sagoth. Which is a big + for me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    DRAGONFORCE! Extreme power metal, about as fast and heavy as In Flames (well not quite as heavy) but clean vocals instead of growling. Try 'em, they kick infinite amounts of ass.

    Interesting, I'll have to check them out. The description sounds similar to Battlelore, check them out if you haven't.
