Let's start off with another one from Anthem. As I mentioned before, this Japanese band has been going for a while, but this video is for their first major international album, so their pulling all the stops. Great piece of speedy metal!
I know I post a lot of metal here, but I can't deny the power of good AOR, and I'm thankful for labels like Fronteirs Records and their mission to give this kind of music an opportunity to shine. Here's another uplifting, 80s-style epic from Find Me, and it doesn't disappoint!
Sticking with the 80s for a moment, here we have epic 80s hair metal coming from Swedish glam rockers Crazy Lixx. While they may not have the classic pedigree of Def Leppard or Dokken, they have the right sound and attitude to for it!
Saint Vitus seems to be coming back, bring their style of old-school doom metal with them. While the intro seems different, that middle section and is pure Sabbath-y, with crunchy riffs and a wailing, haunted guitar solo!
Here we have another piece of melodic progressive metal from Darkwater. After this song and the previous one, between the atmosphere, the riffs, and the synth solos, this is sounding like an album I shouldn't miss!
Let's wrap things up with some Queensrÿche. As expected, they bring their classic 80s style with some solid riffing and great melodies to go along with their message. Todd La Torre really shines on this one!
