No one has mentioned the legendary SYSTEM OF A DOWN!! they will be reborn in 2011!!!

Oh, you must be lost because I KNOW you're not tryign to pass SoaD off as Metal...


Myself: Been on a total power Metal fix lately:

CDs
Sonata Arctica - Silence
Stratovarius - Visions
Blind Guardian's new one

Tapes
Riot - Thundersteel + Privilege of power
Liege Lord - Burn to my Touch

All are pretty righteous.


(Unrelated to PM)
Also been spinning "Hornets of the Pogrom" today on the turntable. Riffs so amazing your neck will break.

Sonata Arctica and Nightwish are the only power metal bands I listen to, but, to be fair, Nightwish is more symphonic.
If going that direction, I also enjoy Amberian Dawn.

System of a Down=Epic win

EDIT: I just remembered that I watched this cool video some days ago, check it out! it's pretty good

Instrumental

(Black Metal Here)

I've been listening to Bloodbath. Excellent shit, favourite album has to be "The Fathomless Mastery."
I'll be getting to Opeth soon.

Check out "Barren Earth" - it's relevant. I need to give them an extra listen or two, but for the most part, they're a bit too "mellow" for me.

Good ol' power metal

NILE! \m/
