Eclipse are like Axel Rudi Pell. They have found their style and they are sticking to it. Frankly, I don't get the fact that they're criticised for sounding the same (ish) on their albums. Now if they got criticised because the songs suck, I'd get it. But they don't. But if that is your criticism, fair play. The same riffs, one long song criticisms are ridiculous though imo. I can easily hear that that is not true.

My list can now be updated with Whitesnake Demon Helix The Darkness Venom Gathering of Kings Backyard Babies Avantasia Wayward Sons

Baton Rouge - Shake Your Soul Hardline - Double Eclipse Gathering of Kings - First Mission Magnum - The Spirit Demon - The Unexpected Guest Axel Rudi Pell - Kings and Queens, Oceans of Time (and others tbf)

Really looking forward to this. I saw them live this summer and I have to say it was amazing. First Mission is a top notch album and Heaven on the Run and Moonlight promise that the next one will be a belter as well.

😂 Funny but you're wrong.

This, this, this. It's not enough to be able to pen a killer tune, musicians all have to be John Steinbeck too. AND write lyrics for each individual taste. Shouldn't be too difficult.

This comment is pretty ridiculous. There is no resemblance between the two. Lyrically perhaps a tiny bit, but if battle themed songs are all it takes there are thousands of bands that is similar to Sabaton.

Talisman - I'll Be Waiting https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DlMGQh5JGLE Don't know how to embed, sorry.

Many great suggestions, but I didn't see Talisman in there. Their debut is a classic. Jeff Scott Soto on vocals.

The Runaway by Gathering of Kings.

Going to see Whitesnake in July. Looking forward to it.

I saw them at Sweden Rock Festival 10 or so years ago. We were a bit late and just arrived when they opened with Kingdom of Madness. Goose bumps and one of the best concerts I've been to.

Good, catchy songs. I would never in a million years call it metal though. Well, pop metal maybe. I'd put these guys in the AOR/Hard rock section though if I'm honest. It's making me tap my feet though, so I'm giving thumbs up.

Good song. Hurry April.

Doh!
