New Videos - October 2019!

I'm afraid this month hasn't been as productive, as I've been dealing with a very persistent cold.  Hopefully, next month will be better.  Until then, here are some videos that has caught my interest over the past month!


Angel are back, bringing a nice mix of AOR and glam rock that reminds me very much of Europe's early material, and which is a compliment in my book!  Something of a nostalgic song as they look back on their past, but it sounds like they can still rock all the same.


Apocalyptica are certainly a unique band in the rock world, with their cello-driven metal, but here we see them venture more into progressive territory, mixing the collage-like imagery with all kinds of mood shifts and tempo changes. Impressive work!


Of course, I can't stay away from power metal.  Here is another one from NorthTale, full of that symphonic power metal magic I love!  I really should listen to their album, as I've loved everything they've released so far!


More symphonic power metal!  Visions of Atlantis takes things on a more cinematic scale, showing some nice vistas to go along with their epic melodies and orchestral swells.  Great stuff!


Talk about a band playing it oldschool!  RAM is here is bring back the glory days of early metal, carrying vibes of late-70s Judas Priest, Accept, and Riot.  With some crazy fast licks and a penchant for over-the-top metal aesthetic, this is a blast, literally and figuratively!


Let's finish with something a bit weird.  The prog supergroup Flying Colors is back with a third album, and for their first single, they're messing around with time-signatures and glow-in-the-dark in the same measure.  While the video is pretty nuts, the music is an interesting blend of hard rock and jarring rhythms, with a softer section reminiscent of Yes or early Genesis.  Nice work, fellas!
