[JRA]

So which album are you listening to?

Black Metal. :eyes: It was a bonus track on the re-released version.


Call From The Grave
Under The Sign of The Black Mark
Bathory


The first of two ARENA ROCK BLACK METAL songs!!!
:eek: :rocker::rocker::rocker::rocker::rocker:

[JRA]

Holocaust
Blood Fire Death

[JRA]

Enter The Eternal Fire
Under The Sign of The Black Mark
Bathory


...and this is the second of the two!

[Maiden33]

Some Have Dreams
Once Upon Our Yesterdays
Cornerstone

This band is a must-hear for anyone who loves 70's hard rock or great melodic metal.

[mankvill]

Nordland

Bathory

Really surprisingly awesome considering it was put out in the 2000's

[Maiden33]

Silence From Angels Above
The 1st Chapter
Circus Maximus

:light:
Beautiful track, gives me chills.

[Maiden33]

Killing in Time
Back For My life EP
Masterplan

:bowdown:
Honestly, this is easily one of my favorite tracks from the Aeronautics sessions. Damn shame it only wound up as an EP extra track. Oh well.

[Natrlhi]

Unknown Awareness
Static Tensions
Kylesa

I finally broke down and got the new Kylesa. Thanks Nat for recommending it so highly. I think I like it better than Blue Record actually. More my style

You're welcome. :D Ya know, Baroness and Kylesa are good friends and come from the same music scene in Savannah, GA. John Baizley from Baroness did the artwork for the cover of Static Tensions (and a lot of other badass album covers as well :fist:).


The Sweetest Curse
Blue Record
Baroness

My fave song on Blue Record.

Mine too. Or "Horse". Or "Swollen". Or "Gnashing". Whichever. :tongue:

I can really see why people said they were the perfect opener for Mastodon now. I own all of their cd's now and think a Kylesa compilation cd would be pretty damn epic. hahaha

Gamma Ray

The studio track ALSO does nothing for me/sounds 90% like Metal Gods. Crossing my fingers this aint the albums general sound.

[SomewhereInTime72]

Idk, it's pretty epic. Ain't saying too much about the band itself, but I think that instrumental just hits home.

Ironbound

I dunno, I feel like I know tons of better instrumentals, even though Ktulu is a good song. It just doesn't feel that special to me.

Well there are certainly other great instrumentals, Man Made God by In Flames and Hybrids Of Steel/Intermezzo Liberte by Arch Enemy pop out to me immediately, but I just think there's something there with Ktulu.

At the end of the day, it's a good song in both our eyes :D

Wow, where did this come from? I was disappointed with this album proper, but this bonus track is pretty incredible - great melodic prog hard rock, kinda Enchant-esque.

No, THIS is the song that "A Horse Called Golgotha" should be.

I really, really, really hope you're kidding. Even as a person who (at least used to, still sort of) loves power metal, Freedom Call make me want to vomit a little bit.

:confused:

How is there anything wrong with them? I can't even try to point out anything remotely bad, they're just power metal. Shitty lyrics, but that is certainly a given. You got me.

That part kinda works. I can't really explain why. Maybe cause it's fun to sing while doing a retard impersonation.

As good as the new one is, it's a bummer how great they once were. This is easily one of the dozen or so best twenty-plus minute songs of all time.

Freedom Call is, without a doubt, the gayest band I have ever heard. Granted I have not heard all of their material, but a good two albums' worth or more, and they are certainly not for me. They strike me as what it would sound like if you took Gamma Ray, and then removed everything good and heavy about them and replaced it with fairies and rainbow warriors. To me the band is good for occasionally laughs and some silly good times, but in no way do I hold them in any regard as a very good, serious lot.

Meh, they make good music in my opinion. Not in the mood to construct a well-composed argument defending why they a) are not gay, b) fall into the same "gay" category that many power metal bands do, and c) I listen to/like them. If you don't like them, hooplah.

a) That's because there is no argument that they are not gay.

b) I agree that many, many power metal bands are nearly that gay, but I don't listen to any of those bands. At least not anymore.

There's been lots of orgasming over that record on the ProgPower forum, and I've had it on my mp3 player for a while now, but still haven't really given it the proper listen. Heard the first 2 tracks or so, didn't do terribly much for me so it hasn't been a priority to get back to.

I've realized one of my absolute favorite things is when bands end albums with mellow, acoustic-ish songs. I think they always work better at the end of a record to bring you down emotionally, rather than fucking up the vibe in the middle of them. I'm not really talking about ballads in general, but acoustic songs, there's a difference. Anyway, I think this is one of the best examples of this technique I've ever heard.

Such a fun song off a great, fun, and highly original record. No matter how much a lot of the rest of his solo stuff sucks, this is a great album.
