Skyclad

Chips are down and stakes are high,
Milk-shake minds are sucked bone dry.
If their fiendish schemes should fail,
They'll smoke us all - but not inhale!












Artist: Skyclad
Album: Folkemon (2000)
Genre: Folk Metal
Official Site: http://www.skyclad.co.uk/index.html/

Skyclad are hailed as the creators of the Folk Metal genre. The British band was originally formed by Sabbat vocalist Martin Walkyier and Pariah guitarist Steve Ramsey as a sort of one-album project, but soon evolved into one of the greatest metal bands around. The group underwent many line-up changes in the beginning of their career, but they've pulled together. This album marks the last in which Walkyier is on vocals before he went on to form The Clan Destined. This is Skyclad's Folkemon. Notable tracks include The Great Brain Robbery, Polkageist, and When God Logs-Off.

Tracklist:
1. The Great Brain Robbery - (4:34)
2. Think Back and Lie of England - (4:59)
3. Polkageist - (4:02)
4. Crux of the Message - (4:53)
5. The Disenchanted Forest - (7:11)

Kiko Loureiro

Artist: Kiko Loureiro
Album: No Gravity (2005)
Genre: Power Metal
Official Site: http://www.kikoloureiro.com.br/

Brazilian-born Kiko Loureiro is most famously known for his work as the guitarist for Brazilian Progressive Power Metal group Angra. Although Andre Matos took the rhythm section of Angra with him when he departed from the group to create Shaaman, Kiko Loureiro rebuilt the group and began releasing albums again as Angra. Most people do not know, however, that Loureiro has his own solo albums as well. The guitarists' incredible skill is evident on his two solo albums, both of which are purely instrumental. This is his first solo album, No Gravity. If you're a fan of Angra or Power Metal in general, I suggest you get these albums. Notable tracks include Escaping, La Force de L'âme, and Beautiful Language.

Tracklist:
1. Enfermo - (4:02)
2. Endangered Species - (5:10)
3. Escaping - (5:35)
4. No Gravity - (4:23)
5. Pau-De-Arara - (7:01)
6. La Force De L'âme - (4:33)
7. Tapping Into My Dark Tranquility - (2:12)
8. Moment of Truth - (4:30)
9. Beautiful Language - (2:00)
10. In a Gentle Way - (5:34)
11. Dilemma - (4:13)
12. Feliz Desilusão - (3:39)
13. Choro de Criança - (1:11)

Scar Symmetry

Pitch Black Progress
Those who call me avatar
Know not what they're looking for
They just feed their flames with miracles
Just so you know
If you bathe within my light
You diminish your own might
The illusionist in everyone

Scar Symmetry! I absolutely love this album. And with 'this album', I mean absolutely every song.

Scar Symmetry is melodic death metal in the vein of Mercenary's later albums (11 Dreams, The Hours That Remain). Thus far they have only released two albums, Pitch Black Progress being the newest and the best in my opinion. The other album is Symmetric In Design.
I can reccomend this album to everyone who likes Melodic Death Metal, the heavier side of Progressive Metal and Power Metal (it's fucking catchy sometimes).
The vocals are great. Deep growl, great clean singing and even some screaming here and there.

Simply put, this album kicks ass, download it now.

Ark Storm

One thousand souls of the dead men
Breaking the silence by hatred
There's only one way to crawl out
Holding on to my hope 'til rise from this hell
















Artist: Ark Storm
Albums: No Boundaries, Beginning of the New Legend, and The Everlasting Wheel
Genre: Power Metal
Official Site: http://home.att.ne.jp/kiwi/arkstorm/

Ark Storm is yet another Power Metal band from Japan. The group plays a more Neo-Classical style of Power Metal, but still keeps a keyboard player in the group (the same keyboard player, in fact, as Galneryus. Yuhki pulls double keyboard duties for both bands). The guitar solos are great (almost like Yngwie Malmsteen, but without too much wank), the bass player is absolutely amazing (he can pull solos just as well as the guitarist), and the vocals are awesome (except on No Boundaries. Thank Odin he changed his style for the better). It's just plain Power Metal that you can rock out to. Here is their entire discography so far (only three albums!)

Galneryus

Flying through the holy sky
Approaching the sea of rage
We can see the land of freedom
It's just a matter of time












Artist: Galneryus
Album: One For All - All For One (2007)
Genre: Power Metal
Official Site: http://www.syu-net.jp/galneryus/top.html

This Japanese Power Metal band was formed in 2001 by Valkyr guitar virtuoso Syu and vocalist Yama-B. After releasing three albums, the band is still going strong. The band plays a great style of power metal with awesome guitar solos, and for those of you who hate keyboard wankery, you will enjoy the fact that there is none. The keyboard playing is purely atmospheric, with a small solo here and there, but the band is primarily guitar-driven. Good kick-ass power metal from the land of the rising sun.

Tracklist:
1. Red Horizon - (2:12)
2. New Legend - (5:23)
3. The Night Craver - (5:08)
4. Aim at the Top - (4:45)
5. Everlasting - (5:02)

10. Sign of Revolution - (5:36)
11. Cry for the Dark - (5:33)
