I guess these Danish rockers have been playing since the 80s, starting out more glam but now evolved into a straight-forward hard rock band. While some of their guitars may look a little strange, this is some catchy stuff. Worth a look!
Yes, more Sabaton, but I can't help it! This is a little different though, going with a bouncy, swing-step groove that makes it a little light on its feet. Then there's the hammond organ solo in the middle that fits like a glove. Neat variations for band known for their otherwise iconic style.
Alter Bridge is a band I should spend more time with, given what a big Creed fan I am. Here we have a very heavy, but somewhat atmospheric slab of hard rock, going for something a little more cinematic in tone. Good stuff!
Old-school AOR! Here we have The Defiants providing that classic 80s rock sound that makes even the smallest things seem larger than life. This has some pretty strong Bryan Adams vibes, very summery and catchy.
Queensrÿche has always carved their own path, and this song from their latest album really shows their quirky song-writing style. Jarring at times, soft and somber at others, all while letting their vocalist ring out those soaring notes. It doesn't get more iconic than this.
DragonForce is one of those bands where either you like them or you can't stand them. While the video very 80s, the song is DragonForce to a T, so don't expect any heavy synths or poppy interludes. For me, DragonForce is a nostalgic sound to when I first got into power metal, so this song is like putting on an old, but comfortable pair of shoes. Nice the see the guys keeping their pedal to the metal!
