Kicking things off with some big 80s rock. Not a lot of surprises, but it has that arena-ready, Def Leppard style that I like. Anthemic, with lots of layers on the vocals for the chorus, and some solid riffing that knows that sometimes less is more.
Yeah, these girls are on my radar now. Again, the vocals do take some getting used to, but it's great, upbeat power metal that puts a big smile on face. I clearly need to put their albums on the top of my list!
More One Desire! Melodic riffs? Check. Epic chorus? Check. Big 80s sound? Check. Clear, massive vocals? Check. Lighting-fast guitar solo? Check. Honestly, if haven't caught up with these guys, then you're missing out on some great rock 'n' roll.
So here's a neat band from Chile, channeling some of the prog metal stuff from Europe, like Evergray or Symphony X. The singer definitely has that Russell Allen vibe going. Oh, and the guitars are way crunchy. Some of the heaviest stuff I've posted here.
Creye is a band I've seen around, but this is the first time I've really liked their particular brand of melodic AOR. The song has this really nice, driving energy. Not a million-miles-an-hour, but cruising along at a solid, manageable speed, with some nice riffing and solid production.
Okay, now this has an old-school Kansas feel. The right balance of crunchy guitars and light violin, with hammonds backing it all up. While it might not be as uptempo as "Carry On Wayward Son," this shows the band still that classic sound up its sleeve!
