"Typical finnish metal with female singer Katra and sings fantastic (though she is not Tarja!). Nice melodies and good musicans." less

"Well, this is "party-metal". Catchy, cheerful and party. Like his singing tough. They entered EuroVision Song Contest with the song "In my dreams" which is kinda nice and with a cool guitar." less

"Not their best (my favorite is XIII and "Lingua mortis"). Rage is quite a mix, but heavy and always with a good melody." less

"Angra plays symphonic and progressive..." more

"Angra plays symphonic and progressive metal, but at a resonable level. Check out all their albums." less

"Finnish band with that sound of sorro..." more

"Well, no, not metal, but at the right..." more

"Well, no, not metal, but at the right moment and mindset you will like this. The songs are soft but with a cathy tune and Candice has a lovely voice." less

"Swedish band and quite new to me. The..." more

"Swedish band and quite new to me. The riffs are excellent, the melodies are cathy but the singing are the weak part. Yes, this is melodic death, but I still prefer good singers." less

"Therion is a mix of opera, metal and ..." more

"Therion is a mix of opera, metal and innovation. The band consist of several musicians and there are guest-singers on every album. I really like this, because there is such a craftmanship in this, but the songs doesn't get overworked like in certain prog-metal bands." less

"This is excellent in every way. Kamel..." more

"This is excellent in every way. Kamelot are superior musicans, but their albums tend to "dive" (the first songs are good, and the rest tend to fade). This album is among the best though, no diving here." less

"Grand Magus is like a modern version ..." more

"Grand Magus is like a modern version of Manowar (which I'm a great fan of). Very heavy songs with attitude and good riffs. Listen to "Kingslayer" or "Wolf's return". Of course, this is not Eric Adams!" less

"This is very good. Heavy, but with ni..." more

"This is very good. Heavy, but with nice melodies and a very good female singer. This is a favorite of mine!" less

"Like a crossing between Metallica and..." more

"Like a crossing between Metallica and Queen! Melodic but dark and heavy." less
