"With their seventh album, has Denmark's Manticora played it Safe? The answer could be somewhat elusive. If this means Manticora continues their efficient blend of melodic, power, and progressive heavy metal, then the answer is a strong affirmative.
Fifth album from this (apparently) popular power metal band from Romania. The band is fronted by Ana Mladinovici, who has a very nice voice albeit with a slight accent. She doesn't have the range of Tarja - her voice is more along the lines of Sabine Edelsbacher of Edenbridge.
"Sometimes, as strange as it may sound, tragedy inspires creativity. Such seems to be the case with the latest release from Canada's Into Eternity, one of the brightest stars on the progressive extreme metal landscape.
Epica finally releases a live set and in typical fashion its nothing short of over the top and immaculate. The performance was recorded as part of the Bartok + Miskolc International Opera Festival in Miskolc, Hungary on 6/14/08.
"In 2007, Daniel Stockinger (guitars), Andreas Poppernitsch (guitars) and Siegfried Samer (vocals), former members of the split-up Austrian Power Metal bands Omega Effect and Eleftheria, formed The Dragonslayer Project.
Fantastic second album from this Australian gothic/progressive band. In many ways I hear similarities to White Willow but these guys are crunchier. Great vocals from Shiralee - one of my fav albums in the genre.
Should really be called gothic progressive rock. Chalice featured the vocals of Shiralee Morgan. Some bands have one hot looking female member - Chalice has two. The band also includes the equally stunning flautist Alana Probert.
Axxis has been around since 1988 with "Time Machine" being their ninth album. This German band emphasizes melody and hooks with subtle touches of speed and crunch. Mixed by Dennis Ward it features very full production.
Long running German thrash band led by female vocalist Sabine Classen. Agony Of Death features lots of special guests including Ferdy Dornberg (keyboardist from Rough Silk and Axel Rudi Pell) as well as guitarist Ralph Santolla.
"UNARMED Best Of 25th Anniversary is Helloween's thank-you to millions of fans old and new and will prove their exceptional position on the international metal scene.
