I think you'd like 'em. As stated in my review, the lyrics are fairly cheesy, but not any worse than many a metal band back in the '80s. And hey, they have songs about Freddy Krueger and Leatherface...how can an '80s horror movie afficiando such as yourself even try to resist? :P

For a limited time until November 30th, you can buy this CD, among many others, for only $5 bucks here: http://stormspell.bigcartel.com/

 

Very tempting. If I can find another Stormspell CD I really want, I think I'll go for this....

 

Any recommendations?

Emm, melodic metal fans could have picked STUTZ, TARRGA, BRIAR, CONQUEST, or the new killer GALAXY GROUP EP but it's a mute point now as the webstore is closed until January 15th...

 

In my case, I was very tempted, but the finances are really tight, so had to leave it. I'm not really a huge Melodic Metal fan, more a fan of stright-up Heavy Metal, which is how I'd describe Elm Street. I've had some good stuff from you, so I'm sure I could find more for the want list.

 

Are you away for a few weeks?

Sorry to hear about the insurance. Hope the holiday goes well. Don’t suppose you’ll be visiting London? If so I could meet you to buy a copy of that CD… :D

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
