Yeah, fucked up title. xD

7.5/10 I prefer Fixation on the Darkness (first song I ever heard from them) and Rose of Sharyn and, of course, they Holy Diver Dio cover. But song is not bad.

This vocalist, Howard Jones, recently said he suffered fear of people, he would even cross a street sometimes if someone would walk directly towards him which is hard to believe due to how big and buffed he looks, but so are those mental disorders: irrational aren't they.

I will leave next song for anyone.

This is not metal, but it is an all-time favorite of mine:

Yeah, not metal but not bad... 5.5/10

I think I will go with something more known...

Horse The Band-Shapeshift

8/10. Alissa White-Gluz is so sexy. First time listening to Arch Enemy, i think this better than when she was with The Agonist.

I head this band some years ago. I don't dig the guy's voice when he isn't screaming. Spoken parts like that which are thrown to uninteresting background music turn me off.

I am not against spoken parts (there are some in one of my favorite albums of all time "Grand Declaration of War"), but if you are going to put spoken parts in a song, do something memorable with the rest of the instruments, since the instruments are not doing any interesting melody or riff, it feels like the spoken parts are the focus and they aren't interesting, his voice didn't even have any feeling behind it.

There were some nice parts here and there though, like the videogame-like parts, for which this band is known for.

I'll give it a 5/10 for too much focus on spoken parts.

One from one of the most important figures in Metal

11/10

When we were growing up, King Diamond was a must in everybody's playlist.

I'm also going back to the 80s:

It's very hard to find videos from back then.

6/10 for Ausgebombt, cool bass riff and some groovy guitar riffing. I'd like some variety with drums. Nasty vocals and guitar solo reminds me of Kirk Hammet (not a good thing :D ).

Here's some quality metal from Finland. Very skilled players and they make complex arrangements, I've no idea how finnish language sits with foreing people tho. Stam1na!

6.5/10 for Stam1na, yeah, the verses (at the beginning for example) sound kinda weird, the screaming sounds normal.

Lost Horizon is one of the best power metal bands I've ever heard, and certainly one of the most underrated bands of all time. Daniel Heiman's legendary vocals never cease to blow my mind. Shame they only released two albums before dissapearing. :(
