Coleio -- Try these Sepultura albums:
Chaos A.D., Beneath The Remains and Arise.
Katatonia, though? Didn't picture you as a Doom fan. At least they aren't completely Doom, though. Sometimes they touch Death, but still.

I did what now?Mr. Masquerade

Into Power and Prog Metal, eh? A few very talented bands on that list, too. Occasionally I delve into a few of those bands, and I also repect some of the talent in those bands. Mike Portnoy is a very excellent drummer.Cakeman

Hum. I liked the "Mr." part...Jimmy EnslashayI did what now?

Anyway, I'm not a Doom fan. Katatonia may used to be a mix of Doom, Death and Black but they're very different. They just use clean voices now, for example.
I think they created a sound of their own, which I can't define.
Give "Viva Emptiness" a try. Really.
...and Petrucci is a very excellent guitarist and Myung is a very excellent bassist, etc... And we're just talking about one of the bands.Jimmy Enslashay

The sad thing about that band is that, in my opinion, they have really wasted their talent. They haven't produced much with Dream Theater, and even though I'm not a big Prog fan, I can say I'm disappointed that they haven't produced anything class. This is my opinion, though, but I just know a lot of people here are going to be weilding pitchforks at my front door-step within the next 24 hours.Masquerade The Diabolical
Still, all talented musicians.

Have you heard their Train of Thought album?Jimmy Enslashay
It's clearly their heaviest (and greatest IMO) album to date, and really showcases each members' skill of their instrument. "This Dying Soul" and "Honor Thy Father" confirm that Mike Portnoy is one of the greatest drummers ever, and Petrucci really lets loose and shows his shredding abilities on the album (especially in the 11 minute monster of an instrumnetal, "Stream of Consciousness"). 👍
Thankfully, they don't have as much wankery on the keyboards on this album. Personally, I think that bringing in a keyboard interlude half way through a blazing solo kills the song.
I might just have to go listen to this album again now...

I noticed that they started off great with Images and Words, but then they didn't come out with anything better. Train of Thought is as close as they come to that one. While I like the album, it kind of reminds me of Metallica too much.

Sure thing! I love Orphaned Land! It's a band like no other (how many bands from Israel would you know anyway?).emad
I thought Mabool would never come out (they didn't launch an album in 8 years...) but it did in 2004 and it's very good.
The album Sahara - which also includes the The Beloved's Cry demo - is a part of my youth... It brings back very good memories (and is making me feel very old right now)...
El Norra Alila is probably my favourite, though.
Anyway, I only know a handfull of people who likes Orphaned Land. It's great and also a surprise to see someone else. 👍

I only found out about the band about a week ago and even that was pure fluke. I was doing some research on some death metal bands and came across these guys. Either way, fluke or not, the band is damn amazing and i'm very glad I found out about them.DiabolicalMaskSure thing! I love Orphaned Land!

YES! someone finally likes Sonata Arctica! I love this band. really awesome. I have Reckoning Night. I really like "Don't Say A Word" I listen to it daily. Anyone got the new limited edition "End Of Heartache"? Is it worth it to buy it if I already have "End Of Heartache"? And I also would like to see if the new Judas Preist album is any good. I was very tempted to pick them both up. And I think Cradle Of Filth's "Nymphetamine" was released in a limited edition.

The new Judas Priest album is good. I really enjoyed it, and it's a very surprising good comeback from a band as old as Priest. Usually bands around that age that make comebacks often bum out and lose a bit of respect. Priest still know how to play. 👍

I may have to get it again when I go to Wal-Mart Later. But that damn double Layer crap will probably confuse my computer.

Dude, I have to get the album, but I'll have to wait, i'm some-what broke right now. Just like when I bought my new Crüe album, "Red White and Crüe", when it came out on Jan. 25, I had to wait until Feb. 4, to buy, but at least it was worth the wait.Jimmy Enslashay
JUDAS PRIEST Rules!
Has anyone heard of the Northwest Death Fest? Its a concert here in the Northwest featuring mainly death metal, this year is Cannibal Corpse, Sodus (spelling?), and Incantation (spelling?).

The point of that was, Cory? And why isn't Fear Factory real metal?
This coming from someone who listens to Atreyu!

I've been stuck in a NWOBM mood lately, and just happened across the band Iron Savior. If you enjoy Priest, you'll enjoy this one as well. Dragonforce is also another one that comes close to the Iron Maiden / Judas Priest sound.
I do have to say that Priests new album is a far cry better than Red, White and Crue. Ugh. 37 songs and only 3 are new?
I've tried hunting everywhere to find an album by Blind Guardian, but have had no luck. Perhaps 5 years ago I downloaded 15 or so of their songs from MP3.com (back when it was free and legal). If anyone locates them somewhere can they drop me a PM?

Atreyu isn't that bad. They are pretty good. But not the best. And Fear Factory is True metal.

I hope you weren't referring to Iron Savior as NWOBHM? They're a German band, that started way after the NWOBHM movement.Der Alta
Both are Power Metal, although Iron Savior are half Speed Metal really. Iron Savior are a fairly good band, I don't mind them. Power Metal, on the other hand, is not my cup of tea. It's just something about the vocals that I can't stand. For me, only Iron Maiden could pull that off.
Have you tried Amazon.com? I searched Blind Guardian and came up with this.Der Alta
There's also eBay, although Amazon would probaby be a bit easier. This is from an eBay search for Blind Guardian.

Nice! Looks like I'm off to spend cash at amazon now!
Yes, I was reffering to Iron Savior as part of NWOBHW. Some sites classify them as such, others don't. I'm just going on the info I had, which wouldn't suprise me as being wrong info.
Thanks for the pointers on finding Blind Guardian!

anyone like NormaJean? I heard their single last night on Headbangers Ball and they sound really good. Antoher cool one was All That Remains. I will probably end up getting All That Remains new album. Anyone else like them?

Norma Jean sounded pretty cool. Doesn't All That Remains sing The Deepest Gray?
