heavyharmonies Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Sounds amazingly like... well... Stratovarius. If you like them you'll love it, and if you don't, you won't. *shrug* Pithy, wot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrain Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 First track is good but the second one isn't, not a good sign for the whole album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kourosofsteel3 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Wow, they're still alive? I've lost them since mediocre elements. I'd love to listen to Tolkki singing again. Never mind! I'll polish my Spotify armor next Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kourosofsteel3 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 So far, the new one is very good, with 2-3 cool melodic killers. And I love, finally, Timo's vox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Planet Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 This band used to be one of my favs but I lost interest after Elements.....I can't say these songs impress me that much.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sick_Of_It_All Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I kinda like the first two songs posted but to me that's more AOR than metal. That video posted by Stefen... I really thought I was gonna hear "It's the final countdown!!!" at first lol. I didn't dig that one at all. I've never heard the band before so I guess I'll go look up their older stuff. I see potential... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisel Chin Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 "My Eternal Dream" is not too bad. I used to be a fan of Stratovarius years ago with their early albums, but I got rid of them at some point down the line when I got fed up with the Euro Power Metal sound that every band was producing. Can't stand the main instrumental sound being made by the drums like a pneumatic drill, like they're trying to artificially make the song sound faster than it is... The melody is there, but the instruments aren't being given the chance to breathe. I've been on a bit of a power metal "quest" recently, looking for some new bands or anything "classic" that I might have missed, and I definitely prefer the more traditional U.S. Power Metal sound to the Euro style, which often sounds too similar as the bands follow what seems to be an expected style nowadays.

Doggy Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hey CC give the new cd by Black Majesty a spin and I think you will enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kourosofsteel3 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hey CC give the new cd by Black Majesty a spin and I think you will enjoy it. I think he made it clear he's not into euro power thingie. "My Eternal Dream" is not too bad.

I think you 'll like the new disc. I rated 6 tracks way higher than "My Eternal Dream". In case you didn't, check Attacker's "The Second Coming" album. Actually this was the first time I've seen the term "power' associated with a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
