>>127784401I forgot I downloaded that in one of my sprees a while back, I'm gonna check it out
THUNDER RISING THUNDER RISINGTHUNDER RISING EARLY IN THE MORNINGhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wQYdsF2vKY
An EP that's consistently great but the only standout amazing song is Battle Zones.(I'd link it but there is no individual upload for that song, only the '03 remix.)
A few songs go on a tad too long, and I would've liked a bit more variety in arrangements at points, but otherwise there were no issues with this phenomenal release. I've also read that their follow-up has even more USPM in it, so I'm very excited to check that one out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjiZkNzm0rMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfxCkoQqIuUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou4tEunNcgEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYV5tQdpPyc
Has some early European power metal in the form of the title track (and to a lesser extent Straight Into the Night), but outside of that it's a fairly routine hard/heavy blend from the early '80s. The sound here is similar to Scorpions, and '70s Riot; specifically Rock City. Also WTF is that album cover???https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U6a_BjSLzkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d_LLhxdDSghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7omm2oDxcs

>>127786373This song's really good, is the entire EP worth listening to?
earlier stuff is more trad, this one is more glam/AOR but i've a soft spot for it and just wanted to mention this band desuhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btWqY31bixA
>>127786403yeah actually i think the other tracks are betteri used to torrent these compilations of old school metal EP's, Inherent Sin stood out and so did this band Tyrant's Reign-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fJ0dSL_6XQ&t=8s

It was! Unlike a lot of other forgotten bands these guys really did deserve an actual album, they had the chops to make something great and it's a damn shame they never got that far.Highlights for me were the vocals (that fucker can howl), drumming, and the first two tracks.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d0U7_a1neawThought I would share this gem Recently discovered heavy metal song from 1969
>>127786405I think Tell No Tales is definitely the better of the two but the cover of Intuition is so much cooler. Every song on Tell no Tales hits. The pacing is great. I've played it so many times. Intuition, not really.https://youtu.be/uU7o-OQgmA0?si=RMw6JAdagR5EA2dDhttps://youtu.be/QNov2d606bQ?si=yjHD-AUH_zxtZPCU
>>127787114Well I'll be damned, this is the real fucking deal. (I'd like to comment on the title of the upload, though. In my opinion the beginning is the only part of the song that's really doom metal-ish., the remainder is a hard rock/heavy metal blend like what Budgie played a lot of the time.)And speaking of Budgie, am I the only one that hears quite a few similarities with this song's main riff and Crash Course in Brain Surgery's? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8To13-xos8
>>127787785Didn't say "pretty please", request denied
Wild Pussy (lol) - late 80s Welsh speed metal like Running Wildhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlrAc3skAOM>>127787198maybe i'm too influenced by album covers but i liked Knights of the New Thunder more than Tell No Tales actually, but both deserve a re-listen it's been a while! these tracks are great
>>127788368>Wild Pussy (lol) - late 80s Welsh speed metal like Running WildWould check out but I'm listening to Shok Paris - Steel and Starlight atm(first song is fucking incredible already)
Manages to edge out their already stellar debut, but only by a hair; mainly due to the souped up songwriting and the epic songs being just that extra bit more ambitious. A phenomenal record and one all of you should check out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A62mxrJ_84I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVPikOkbz9Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO2bHfU3KbIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rPxRCpGjlohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOtmdrfrNgIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdOuBTHNC98
>>127788368This is really good, right up my alley.
Very solid heavy/power album, not a lot to really say about it, though. (Well aside from the guitarwork on Shadows being fucking breathtaking and the title track being a total ripper.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TwLf9wVpDwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaPwoKnn3yIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grr1JLoGKSU
This is much better than I remembered. And hell, outside of Pounding Metal (still not strong on that song desu) this is arguably an improvement over Heavy Metal Maniac; mainly in the production department. I love HMM's crunchy, chainsaw-like guitar tone quite a bit; but that album in my opinion is sabotaged by a subpar production that has too much reverb. The songs themselves are great, but man do I really wish that record sounded like this one does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gUjQFT60vwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uibBRsMPh8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8XHLkTOpgs
>>127789190Path of Glory is my favorite from this album. What an absolute banger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl86xG323YI
>>127787198Tell No Tales is such a wild song. When I first heard it, I had only heard their glam hits and thought it was a different band.
https://youtu.be/vVAhy7h3Jes?si=89P5qyufEoPPRyXDMan this band is amazing
does anyone know any bands like Raven? the kind of fun and nonchalant mood always hit me nice. like, if this came out nowadays you might even think it's a parody lol-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVxsduZBPJQGoat Horn - Rotten Roll comes to mind, not so much sonically but spirituallyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEPwLunV6AI>>127792543this does rock woah thanks

>>127788368Finally got off my ass and listened to this. The lead guitarwork (especially the solos, my god they're masterclass) is great shit and the songs themselves aren't far behind in terms of qualityThanks for posting this one anon, I enjoyed this a lot
