Metal Reviews

Hey, have you guys heard this band before?

I was just checking out The End Records and their new CD is listed, it sounded interesting. Anyway, I'm on their website right now listening to the clips and not one so far has been bad. They seem like an excellent melodic rock band! Diggit!

Surely you could have snuck this into the Power Metal forum?

They lie somewhere between that and melodic rock as I remember.

Really? I don't know, nothing I heard their suggested much power metal. The clips are damn good, but this is just another band who're going to be hard for me to find.

I have Hellvettia and it is very good. It does border the power metal/AOR realm. I think they have become more AOR with each album. Ordered Timewalker yesterday because I like the AOR vocals and songwriting. It has been getting some good press so far. Hellvetia had some really good catchy tunes at the begginging of the disc, but then it kinda slipt away, maybe this new one will be consistent throughout

Timewalker is a lot better than Hellvetia, especially with regards to consistency. I reviewed it a while back, but still listen to it regularly.
