(sorry, no youtube vids to be found :&lt

Very interesting atmospheric Death-ish Black Metal that you should all check out since it's awesome. Melodeath fans will also find this interesting, since it has it's melodic aspects as well.

I saw Van Canto and all their INGA glory mentioned ( I have a problem alright... leave me alone ) ... but no Sonata Arctica DX... this hurts me... it really does. As for VC's songs... I like Lost Forever, Speed of Light, and Water Fire Heaven Earth a lot.

As for Blind Guardain... I discovered them through Lion Heart and Another Stranger Me. I really liked those songs, so I bought the rest of the "A Twist in the Myth" album... there are a few on there that I like... but the other two are still my favorite. I haven't really delved too deep into them.

Heavenly the french power metal band... not the old British pop band... is great to listen to... just be warned that their music videos for the songs from their album "Carpe Diem" are hilariously more mature than pg 13. I suggest you listen to their album "Virus" .... every song on there... you pretty much can't go wrong w/ any of those songs.

Kamelot a pretty decent band. I like their songs where Roy, the singer, duets w/ Simone Simons of Epica... (The Haunting, House on a Hill, and I think one or two more)... plus a few of their songs like Center of the Universe and Forever are pretty kick A

Simone Simons w/ Epica also has a few really good songs... She's arguably my favorite female vocalist (Tarja Turunnen of old Nightwish (now solo) and Inga Scharf of Van Canto being the two most prominent competitors for the spot.) White Waters, Living a Lie, and Never Enough being a few of my favorites by her.

As for my favorite Sonata Arctica... can I just say "(insert discography)"? They have a song for every season... they have all sorts of songs... and Tony Kakko is my favorite male vocalist... just something about the energy and execution of his self written songs that just makes me \\m/, (>_&lt .\\m/

Slipknot - Phychosocial
Dead Memories
Before I Forget

Bullet For
My Valentine - Your Betrayal
Waking The Demon

cardboard city
Skyclad [folk] United Kingdom
Prince of the Poverty Line (1994)

Does God watch us from the penthouse high above
His children down below who live on air and love?

I planted three flowers
And danced around them with wishes
Watered them at full moon
Shot into the air three times
Nourished them with my blood
So that the love would last forever

wine of aluqah
Therion [symphonic/operatic] Sweden
Vovin (1998)

Drink the Wine of Aluqah and breathe the secret smoke of God.
Intoxicated by the green shadows of the Paradise.
Know that nothing's true and that everything is Permitted.
So read the Old Man of the Mountain in his Book of Lies.

So feed the spark
Welcome to the land of dark
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
Take my hand
Forgotten in the promised land
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind

out of the ashes
Symphony X [progressive power] USA
The Divine Wings of Tragedy (1997)

Out of the ashes of my youth
- I rise a man
And through the eyes of truth
- I finally understand
The way

Trapped behind bars, prisoners of death
All hope is ours, we can't give up yet
Ready to fight to get what we need
Die on your feet or live on your knees.
