Originally posted by The Politician *laughs* It was a matter of time before someone mentioned them ... I uploaded a lot of songs by them in the past, so just decided to put up some "new" stuff. But yeah, I do plan on putting up some Gamma Ray for download. Remember, I do own: - Heading for Tommorow - Sigh No More - Insanity and Genius - Land of the Free - Alive '95 - Somewhere out in Space - Power Plant - Blast From the Past - No World Order - Skelatons in the Closet - Majestic So ... if there's any in particular that you guys want to hear, let me know. Of course, unlike 90% of most bands out there, Gamma Ray has never "lost their sound", because they're gods. But yeah, I'll probably upload Alive '95's "Ride the Sky" (From Helloween). It's just awesome. By the way for you Children of Bodom fans, I'll put up some Ensiferum soon. They're basically the same style, but slightly more European inspired (cheesier, I guess you could say. Most sites do label them as Viking Metal, so yeah). And if you guys enjoy Rhapsody, Luca Turilli, Blind Guardian, and stuff like that you'd probably also enjoy Elvenking. I could upload some of their stuff too. And if some of you have yet to hear Judas Priest's Painkiller ... you must! @DarkSlaya: Sure, but do you mean putting them up on Xeogaming? |

Never heard of them, but you have got me seriously interested. I'm a big fan of Metroid Metal, and all of those remixes out there for videogame themes, so I'm sure this is awesome.
Is there vocals? |

Yeah, Gamma Ray's No World Order album was definitely a little darker than others. Still amazing though. I loved Kai's screaming singing in Heart of the Unicorn.
The only dark metal band I've been getting into lately is ManOWar. All of their songs and lyrics seem to revolve around wars, and stuff like that. Musically I think they're amazing though, and I think if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have half the metal bands we have today. I still absolutely hate Iced Earth though. I don't know why people like that band. I've heard countless songs over at friends, and finally decided to buy The Dark Saga (according to amazon reviews it was one of the few albums by them that sounded a little interesting), and it's quite possibly my least favorite album that I own. Their music just doesn't seem to have any style to it, its too slow, not progressive or anything, and I just don't like them at all. |

Why in the world would they do that?
That really doesn't make any sense. |

It's time to celebrate Metal with our Elves, Dwarves, Knights, and Dragons my brethren!
... Tobias Sammets (Edguy) Avantasia: Part II The Looking Glass The Final Sacrifice - Avantasia is decent in my opinion. But I think Tobias is a little crazy to call this side project "The Metal Opera", really it just sounds like regular Power Metal to me. In terms of symphonic elements in metal, I don't think this stuff compares to bands like Symphony X, Blind Guardian, Rhapsody, and Elvenking and Ensiferum which you will see below. I do however like Avantasia more than Edguy. Folk / Viking Metal ahead. Beware of cheese, if you don't like it! I do. Ensiferum: Ensiferum Hero In A Dream Token of Time - My friend showed me this band, and I instantly loved them. Their vocals are along the lines of minor growling, very much like Children of Bodom. So unlike true death / black metal (which I don't like), you can actually understand them and hear what they're saying. Elvenking: Heathenreel Pagen Purity The Dweller of Rymes - I looked around for more "Viking" metal after hearing Ensiferum, and this band really stuck out. The vocals are entirely different (no growling) and are just like typical Power Metal vocals. And the music is just great, really gives off a "happy nice" feeling. |

And it is time.
Some Live fun. (From Alive '95) Land of the Free Ride the Sky (Helloween) - Kai, Dirk, Henjo, and Daniel are Gods. The end. I'll upload the album version of Land of the Free, since it's incredibly good. Then I'll probably upload Rebellion in Dreamland. In my opinion, Kai Hansen sings to his greatest ability in that song, there's no song that even compares to how good he sings in that one. Ride the Sky just owns. The solo's will blow you away. Edit: I love Gamma Ray. (Last edited by XeoLord on 04-05-06 06:20 PM) |

Ocelot would probably have died if it weren't for Snake, or wouldn't have even gotten the name "Revolver Ocelot".
So yeah, Snake was the better man. |

I'm actually quite surprised. But I'll probably have to hear it myself to be sure.
I didn't mind Promised Land, it was their last album that I enjoyed, but it was still so different from the rest. Empire was probably their last "true" good album. Hear in the Now Frontier was just ... horrible in my opinion. So it's got that old Progressive style, that they kind of drifted away from over the years? |

Yeah, well I'm not too big on Live stuff myself, just because of the quality. It's still not bad though, but both Alive '95 and Skelatons in the Closet don't really come close to how amazing Dream Theater's Live at Bodukon CD was.
Still, I think it's cool hearing some of GR's songs live, and it's great to hear them cover some of Kai's old songs from Helloween. |

So far it's got a 8.5 at metalstorm, but that's from 11 people.
Great amazon reviews. I'll probably see if this is at Best Buy tommorow and pick it up. |

Yeah, it's weird because it actually looks interesting for an independent film. I'd probably watch it if I could.
|
But yeah, Link looked really dorky ... And the Triforce symbols on some of those girls hands looked pathetic, like markers or something.
