Re: Wintersun - Metal Vivaldi the best description

you have to listen to the newest one. forest seasons is very good - Sons of winter and stars alone is worth the price of the new disc and the rest is also awesome. I have a friend who loves Tool who said wintersuns newest cd is the closest he has ever come to being amazed by a band since tool. the g...

Re: Disforia - The Age of Ether

Heard 2 songs.....and immediately bought it.

this is really original, heavy keyboards, quality singing that is very smooth, though the overall combination is what makes it standout for me. sounds like Yes or Styx on steroids with power metal thrown in, and some growling!!!

great recommendation!!

Wintersun - Metal Vivaldi the best description

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFfN3G2vjqM] I already had their newest cd, so when i saw the band put the entire previous cd on youtube (above) I was excited to see how they used to sound, and it is still a finnish extreme metal ocrchestra/symphony effect - it reminds me of Green Carnation - how yo...

Re: Pandemic finds and rediscoveries

I have always loved the Urban ...Tad Morose discs. His voice is just very distinctive and like an extra instrument in any band. I also recommend Trail of Murder, but he was also great on the Bloodbound album he was on. Damnation Angels are a much more progressive and complex Kamelot in my opinion. I...

Am I the only one that wants Nightwish to re-release all their earlier albums completely with Floor on vocals.

I swear every live video with her singing sounds SOOOO much better than the originals.....

Re: Stuff I've been listening to

Archon Angel/Fallen - I thought with Zakk coming back with a new fresh band this would be stronger than what we got. It's decent but his vocals and melodies on this fell flat for me. He really misses the Olive/O'Neil production values here. This is about on par with his melodic rock band Machines of...

two great live videos from MASQUED

Their only cd ... the light in the dark..... has held up for a while now for me, and I was looking to see if they have anything new - but they don't. but these two live videos really show they can play this stuff live..... I hope they end up at Progpower one day - hopefully to support a new release....

this is from 2017 - but I just discovered it. the best description i can think of is Ascendia with a female vocalist with a full powerful voice- not FLOOR but in the same vein. lots of keyboards, some male vocals mixed in at times, and creative songwriting with plenty of hooks and memorable choruses...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8qWbowzwZU

am i the only one who thinks this is a step back. Heavy on the cheese factor - super heavy disco vibe - not a big fan of the chorus.

Hope the rest of the cd is better.....I will not be blind buying.
