I admit that I'm not as familiar with Rhapsody of Fire as I should be, but I do know they've been making story-driven symphonic power metal for 20 years now, and it would seem that their epic tales will go on. Their new singer sounds great on this fantasy epic!
So, apparently, the lead singer of Dimmu Borgir has been doing this band on the side for years, going for more of a Motorhead approach to metal. As it turns out, this is from what they've claimed will be their last album. Uptempo riffs and a good-time feel will make you feel like roaring out on that motorcycle one more time!
Hey, remember last week when I was psyched over the Herman Frank last week? Here's another one! This is more of a slow-paced stomper with a great shout-along chorus that would have filled arenas in the 80s. I think I'm really looking forward to this album!
Well, this is a bolt out of the blue! I admit I don't have much knowledge of the Japanese metal scene, but I know there are a handful of power metal bands out there like this (Galneryus comes to mind). Very impressive!
Of course, we can't have one of these lists without some good old-fashioned AOR! Full of anthemic lyrics, heavy guitars, and huge synths, this one from Find Me fits right next to Journey and Night Ranger for that classic 80s sound.
Let's finish this one off with something special. And by that, I mean viking Manowar. This is so campy and cheesy that I can't help but smile! While the video might look pretty laughable, the music is pretty solid and epic. For those who don't take their metal so seriously.
