Love Metal is officially the genre, sadly.

I hope by "HIM's hook-writing flair" it means that the vocals are catchy, not that the sound is the same...

I would assume that it does mean that the vocals are catchy. I'm also hoping that they mean old In Flames, not new In Flames.

It should be interesting, anyhow.
 
Hmm...found some new bands tonight. Has anyone ever heard of Sonata Arctica or Kamelot? Both good power metal bands. :) Similar in sound to Rhaposdy/Nightwish/Theroin I would say.
 
I have a Sonata Arctica album somwhere, and some covers they did in tribute albums too. Good band, but I don't care about it much. I don't think I ever listened to Kamelot, if I did it was a long time ago.
 
For some reason, I have the Sonata Arctica discography, but I'm not much of a fan. I also have a couple of Kamelot albums. I'm not really a big Power Metal fan, though.

I should really give it another go.

I've heard a few Sonata Arctica songs, but not my cup of tea. Power metal just isn't really my thing in general.
 
I think I'm really attracted to power metal because even though it's relatively hard and fast, they still actually sing instead of screaming/grunting. Not that I'm totally opposed to that, though.

Have you heard anything by Symphony X? They aren't power metal, but I think you'll like them.
 
I've heard one or two songs by them. They are similar to Dream Theatre, no?
 
Not really. They're have more of a classical influence. And Michael Romeo (guitarist) must be in love with Yngwie Malmsteen...
 
I like clasical music so I'm not sure what you mean. Like, they do mostly classical with some rock or what?

Go listen to to "Smoke And Mirrors" and you'll know what I mean by classical-influence (and Michael Romeo loving Yngwie Malmsteen). ;)

The intro especially sounds like a classical concerto played on guitar.
 
I dont have a high speed connection so I cant listen to anything. I would have just listened to the samples if I could have...

Sonata Arctica is pretty good at covers. They cover Metallica's Ride the Lightning and it's really good. Maiden's The Trooper as well.

As to their non-cover work, they are okay, but not much above the rest. Kamelot on the other hand, I think I've mentioned it before. Not one of my favourite bands, but still, if you like the genre, you'll probably enjoy them.

Hmm... don't think I've ever heard that band. Upon a bit of a search I came up with only that album, but no description of the music.

That bad, then? :dopey:

I'm really liking this Kamelot album. It's called Epica.

alright... been looking through my extensive collection (about 140Gbs) and although I know I had a Kamelot album, it's gone now... probably deleted, since as I said, I don't like it that much. However, I've found a few songs I've kept, and they are the only songs I liked of the band. You might want to check out these songs: March of Mephisto, Center of the Universe and Forever. They also appear on a Metal Hammer CD called Best of Metal or something of the sort.

Good luck with 'em.
 
Thanks. Center of the Universe is the first track on Epica. 👍 I'll check out the others, though.
 
I like Symphony X. The song "The Odyssey" is pretty good, and the vocals remind me of Pantera.

ummm... okay :odd:
 
Bam Margera does. Yeah, actually they're kinda cool.

I got hold of Misery Inc's album by the way, so far I like it.
 
I'm not sure about some of the vocal style but it is different which is good.

Are christian bands forbiden in this thread? Zao and Demon hunter are pretty good...
 
Well, ok then. I went into best buy to buy a usb flash drive. I was going to buy Zao's funeral for god or whatever its called... But then I think to buy the Symphony in peril album. Well, it sounded pretty good there so I bought it. Its basicly metalcore of which I generaly hate the vocals of all metalcore but the actual music part isnt bad. It also came with a sample disc of more terrible vocals but some decent music.

Got it too, liked it too. :)
 
Zao are more of a Christian Hardcore band, really.

Anyone like the band clutch?
Click to expand...
Nope. But Clutch are more of a Hard Rock band, hence their official website name, the 2001 album Pure Rock Fury, etc.

If it's metal, it's welcome.*

I've found a lot of Christian bands don't even sing about Christianity. I like As I Lay Dying and Still Remains (both Christian metalcore bands) and they sing more about life and relationships. Being atheist myself, I'm not really fond of songs preaching the bible, but if they don't sing about those things they're fine by me.

* Unless it's nu metal trash. (:
