Ensiferum are also extremely badass :V. Anything that Jari Mäenpää has been in! But petri also does a good job as frontman, in the latest albums... I suppose it helps that I'm also a Norther fan :P.


YouTube- Korpiklaani - "Vodka" Nuclear Blast Records (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbcwOHvoZbA)

I've had this song stuck in my head for about a month, now XD. Good shout.

NOTHING CAN DESTROY DA HORNS! METAL FOR LIFE!

[Human No More]

Ensiferum and Wintersun are both great :)

[Leequilibrium]

I could definitely drink to that statement ;). It's nice to find that people who can appreciate a masterful movie can also appreciate masterful metal!



For anybody who's interested

Korpiklaani, Wintersun, Ensiferum... Definately some good taste.

I wonder if this is represented among many Avatar fans in general, given the interesting number of fans of them here :nsmile:

I haven't watched them all (including not ones that I know well) but watch some.

I saw Sylosis live a couple of months ago (although admittedly, they were playing support for DragonForce and Sabaton, who were the ones I was there to see), they were very good.

Satyricon are good too, always like a bit of black metal.

Here's some Amon Amarth:

[Human No More]

Nice. I was considering going, but I'm already going to Bloodstock and Mammothfest and may be going to Tuska or Sonisphere depending on who's playing.

(If you're in England, check out Mammothfest. New festival starting this year, should be very good :) - Mammothfest - home (http://www.mammothfest.co.uk/). I'd be interested if anyone's going, would be interesting to meet fellow Dreamwalkers IRL.)

[~ViperSB1~]

Bloodstock... That Sounds Awesome. We Dont Really Get Any Good Metal Festivals Here.The Only Ones We Do Have Are Super Lame "Metal" Bands That Arent Metal IMO. I Would Kill To Go To Wacken One Day... But Germany Is Quite A Ways Away From Me. :)

[Leequilibrium]

I went to the Bloodstock just passed, which was badass. Great time, a few of my favourite bands were playing. I'm certainly looking at going to Wacken, this year, as the lineup's looking spectacular. I went to Wacken in 2008 and had a great time, so hopefully I won't be let down, this year.

[Tawtaronyu]

Bal-Sagoth! Amazing! Probably my over all favorite band ever.

I know I've already posted this band, so here's just a short clip (whole song is 16:23) of the most epic piece of music. Can't get this part out of my head at the moment!

YouTube - CUT Equilibrium Mana

[Ensi]

Equilibrium kicks so much behind it's ridicoulus.

HELL NO! I will never give anyone with those lame *** emo haircuts a chance.
Thats NOT METAL!!!

[Leequilibrium]

And here I was thinking the quality of music had dipped over the last few pages... then Equilibrium pop up! One of my utmost favourite bands (see the forum screen name :V). Saw them at B.O.A, last year - pretty spectacular. The use of a backing track rather than keyboards or other instruments took away some of their live potential, but still a cracking performance. I was going to post a couple of my favourite songs, before I realised I'd chosen pretty much both albums in their entirety :P.

However, to mix things up a bit, here's just a decent selection of similar bands (sort of):

YouTube - Equilibrium Unbesiegt

Unbeseigt - Equilibrium

YouTube - ensiferum-iron

Iron - Ensiferum

YouTube - Wintersun - Beyond the dark sun

Beyond the Dark Sun - Wintersun (Not their best track, by far, but easily the most accessible)

YouTube - ELUVEITIE - Inis Mona

Inis Mona - Eluveitie

[Tawtaronyu]

Leequilibrium, your music taste is awesome.

[Leequilibrium]

:D Thanks very much! As well as the folk and melodeath, I enjoy a bit of melodic/symphonic power metal.

What other sorts of bands are you into?

[Tawtaronyu]

Mostly Keyboardy metal/black metal. Mainly similar to Equilibrium. Also darker stuff like Limbonic Art, Diabolical Masquerade and stuff like Emperor, Immortal, Dark Funeral.

Also anything orchestral sounding that has a fairly dark sound to it. Movie scores or otherwise.

I'm totally wanting to start a band Equilibrium style. You don't happen to live around Yorkshire and play an instrument? :P

[Leequilibrium]

Ahhhh, cool stuff.

Aw, man - unfortunately not :P. I'm sort of up and down between the South and the Midlands. I do play guitar, however :P and write a lot of music. Been wanting to start up a decent metal band for years but it's difficult for a few reasons:

A - It's difficult to find people with a similar taste in music
B - It's difficult to find people that play instruments that don't play guitar XD! If I wanted to form a band with some of my friends it't consist of about 5 guitarists and a drummer, haha.

[bill smauz]

YouTube - Deftones - Passenger (ft. Maynard James Keenan)

YouTube - Dir en grey - OBSCURE

Quite many finnish bands mentioned in this thread.
Often makes me laugh when i hear Turmionkätilöt or Korpiklaani singing their finnish songs. You don't want to know how they go. :D

I know how some of them go :nlol: :D


Anyone here like Einherjer?
YouTube - Einherjer - The Ballad of the Swords

[guyguy]

nice, i really loved that ballade of swords

[picoreefvase]

I recently learned how to play the intro to killer of giants from ozzy ozbourne from watching youtube instructional vids, this was one of the first metal songs I ever heard as a kid in 1985 so it was a big deal for me to reconnect with it like that the tube rocks

[~ViperSB1~]

YouTube and Guitar Pro are the guitarists best friend! ;)

[navi31337]

Kriegsphilosophie, Libetheme, Inner Sanctum, Slaves Shall serve, Inflamed With Rage- all by Behemoth. And any song made by Cryptopsy or GWAR.

BTW:

I REALLY recommend these guys. Its a new melodic black metal band from austria. They re working on their second album currently and despite not having a label yet, in my opinion, they re really making some great music. (Sure, it depends on what you like though) Not something you d expect from a young band.

...Cool dont know that album yet. My favourite album is Soundtrack to your Escape. From which album on are they really good. What would you say?

I'm afraid I'm of an opposite opinion, there. I think that from STYE onwards, they've been going progressively downhill. My favourite album of theirs is Colony - absolutely packed full of great tracks. The Jester Race is also a fantastic album. Reroute to Remain was an *okay* album, but that's where they started to go downhill for me. Their latest release was an absolute shambles, in my opinion.

I'd say that the older albums were more Melodic Death than the later ones. Colony, in particular, is a shining example of Swedish Melodeath. There are some good tracks on some of the more recent albums... just less, I think :).

And yes, Equilibrium are definitely badass. Really shame about Helge (the vocalist) and Manuel (the drummer) leaving, though :(.

Yeah, that's a fair point - Come Clarity had some good tracks on it, for what it was. I still maintain that the title track has one of the most beautiful, slow solos in metal. Crawl Through Knives also had a great intro riff :P.

But aye, A Sense of Purpose really was disappointing. Not HORRIBLE, but nothing really that memorable on it, in my opinion.

Take this life and reflecting the storm are the best tracks from Come Clarity in my opinion. Yeah, comparing the latest three albums ASOP was the "worst", liked it a lot though.

Really? When did they leave Equilibrium? I mean the drummer is a pitty, but the singer... thats a catastrophe xP

[Human No More]

Anyone here going to Bloodstock?
Ensiferum confirmed! I'm so happy about that, never seen them live :nsmile:

Yeah, Reflecting the Storm is a pretty good song.

It was announced a few days ago :(, paired with an announcement of a cancelled show, I think. At least they still have the main songwriter, so as long as they find adequate replacements, I have faith that they'll still be the same band.

I'd certainly like to hit BOA, again, this year! The line-up has skyrocketed in quality over the last few days... I was pretty skeptical with it, initially... particularly after Dream Evil pulled out.

Ensiferum are great live. I first saw them at Wacken 08; pretty spectacular. Saw them again, more recently, in Dudley UK. My friend manages their official Myspace, so I got that gig as a freebie on guestlist :P.

Nice :nsmile:
If you're going to Bloodstock we should meet at some point lol, would be interesting to meet other Avatarians IRL. Not sure how I'll explain that one to my friends who do not See though :ntongue:

[Tudhalyas]

Anyone here going to Bloodstock?
Ensiferum confirmed! I'm so happy about that, never seen them live :nsmile:
I would come, if only I live somewhere more near to England... by the way I like Ensiferum!

Where is Bloodstock taking place?!

[eonmokri]

Oh come on: 80s-Metal FTW!

Def Leppard, Iron Maiden...

[Senenzon]

I love Amorphis! I've seen them live 4 times. IMO one of the best metal bands from finland.

Tomi's hair is epic

+1. I've just been listening to Silver Bride on repeat on the way home from the shops, just now!


Oh come on: 80s-Metal FTW!

Def Leppard, Iron Maiden...

+1 on the Maiden front. Iron Maiden have always been one of my top bands... the first band I majorly got into. For that, they'll always hold a special place in my music collection.


Where is Bloodstock taking place?!

BOA takes place in Derby, UK.

[eonmokri]

Same here :D
First real Metalband Maiden, never lost my love for Maiden.

But hey, i do like things like Manowar, InFlames, Soilwork, Amon Amarth, Angel Dust, Haggard, Iced Earth, Megadeath, Judas Priest, Mötley Crüe, Rage, Running Wild, Warlock... and so on, and so on.

Btw. Wacken 2010 FTW

[Anathema]

I would come, if only I live somewhere more near to England... by the way I like Ensiferum!

Thats what i thought ^^

I m going to a pagan fest or something on february 28th, i think equilibrium will be there. I think it was equilibrium (often take them with ensiferum) because when a friend told me they d come i was looking forward to drinking and listening to them :D great atmosphere

[Leequilibrium]

Wacken 2010 IS looking incredibly ace. BOA's certainly catching up, though... Gah! So many festival expenses coming up this year!

And these are also very good choices in bands... the only one I'm not so big on is Soilwork. Can't say I've listened to any Angel Dust, though...

Manowar!

[eonmokri]

You don't know Angel Dust?
Gosh, you missed a good piece of German Power Metal.
I'll help you out:
YouTube - Angel Dust - Bleed

[Leequilibrium]

I am a large fan of this. Thanks for bringing them to my attention! Not quite sure how I passed by them, until now...

[Tudhalyas]

You don't know Angel Dust?
Thanks for posting this, I didn't know the band, though I'm a big fan of power metal! :nlol:

Let me post a classic from good old Stratovarius:

YouTube- Stratovarius - Paradise

By the way, the song's meaning is a whole new world to me after seeing our favourite movie...

Stratovarius FTW! Interesting point with the lyrics too, another song to add to my 'songs that make me think of Avatar' :nsmile:

Speaking of which (and power metal):
YouTube - Dragonforce - Starfire

So many of their songs have new meaning for me now. Of course, I was a huge fan even before.

[eonmokri]

Yeah, Dragon Force!

Angel Dust is not very popular even in Germany. But i like them very much.

I do like good coverversions, too. Something like this for example:


YouTube - Ten Masked Men - Sweet like chocolate

[Ni'Awve Mokri]

lots and lots of great bands in here. love it.

I always loved that one, just like this:

It gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it!

[PaTRioT1987]

Just gotta say, thumbs up for Stratovarius! havn't listened to much other dragonforce other than 'Through the fire and flames' because a friend was making me watch it to see the solo-off mid song. gotta admit, was pretty epic

[Tudhalyas]

Still a lot of good stuff creeping up in this thread. Stratovarius are certainly badass.

Also, to anybody remotely into Finnish Melodeath, I'd highly recommend Whispered's new album "Thousand Swords", which has recently been released. A spectacular blend of Melodic Death Metal and Classical Japanese influences

WUHUU!

Dragonforce FTW!

My favourite song from them:

YouTube - Dragonforce - Soldiers of the Wasteland

Love drumming to that one. So powerful xD

[Tawtaronyu]

Indeed Wacken 2010 is looking awesome. I've not been for 2 years now. Used to go every year too.

[Tawtaronyu]

Guys, you really should check these guys out from New Zealand. This song is amazing. I don't normally listen to this particular style of metal but I can make an exception here!

[MetalManatee]

Indeed Wacken 2010 is looking awesome. I've not been for 2 years now. Used to go every year too.

So, here's my first Avatar forums post... I thought this was an appropriate thread for me to start in, with my username and all ;).

I can't wait for Wacken 2010... my favourite band of all time (Iron Maiden) alongside so many other of my favourites (Equilibrium, Edguy, Arch Enemy, W.A.S.P., Stratovarius, Motley Crue... to name but a few) are playing, and the atmosphere in 2008 when I last graced the plains of the metal holy ground was fantastic!

I haven't got my tickets yet, but I'd also love to go to Metal Camp, Bloodstock, Sonisphere (for Iron Maiden) etc...

Really pleased to see how many people seem to like Equilibrium on here, by the way... it sucks that it's not really going to be the same now that two of the members have left, but I'm still very much looking forward to seeing them again!

Also, Tawtaronyu (http://www.avatar-forums.com/members/663.html), I highly approve of your taste in music... just thought I'd add that in ;).

Yeah, you can also see me if you look behind you... given that we live together and all ;).

Also, back on topic, I notice a disturbing lack of Sonata Arctica in this thread currently, so here you go:

YouTube - Sonata Arctica - Victorias Secret

[Human No More]

Sonata Arctica FTW :nsmile:

Speaking of things there are a lack of: Have some SLAAAAYYYYYER!

Yeah Sonata Arctica was missing. Kamelot is missing too:

Let me add another song... we can't talk about Kamelot while not mentioning Center of the Universe!

But now... here comes Avantasia!

YouTube - Avantasia - "Farewell"

[Leequilibrium]

Avantasia! Such a crime they haven't been mentioned, until now. The same goes for Sonata and Kamelot. Also, Farewell is Avantasia's best song, in my opinion :P. Did anybody catch them at Wacken 08? Or Sonata and Kamelot for that matter? Man that was a good line-up, that year...

YouTube - Edguy - All the Clowns

(Whilst we're on the subject of Avantasia... I don't think we've had any Edguy, either, thus far.)

You are right. When I posted Farewell I was thinking to put some Edguy instead, but then I carried on with the former idea. Great song by the way! :nwink:

Here comes another now!

Good to see another person likes slipknot. I just love the simple guitar riffs combined with the complex drum work. It's perfect, although their songs from Vol. 3 The Subliminal verses and All Hope Is Gone are a different style. But still good. I would imagine that's how the Na'vi feel about humans, to see a crowd of Na'vi going f***en insane at a Slipknot cncert would be A.W.S.O.M.E Amazingly Wickedly Super Overly Mega Epic :nlol:

Power Metal, Prog Metal, Black Metal and Death metal are the only ways to go, and generally only if they have symphonic elements.

Dimmu Borgir - Progenies of the Great Apocalypse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-hsa1a7kyM)

Fairyland - Score to a New Beginning (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_irSTG6Yowc)

Honestly, anything with symphonic elements is perfect for Avatar because it fits the sci-fi and fantasy genre perfectly.

Power Quest - Neverworld (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIyGF1tA3JQ)

Another sub genre I'm crazy for is power metal. Listening to Rhapsody of Fire's newest album as I type, shizz' so cash... Bands like RoF have inspired me a lot in role playing and writing, so epic, fantastic.

I am also an avid Nightwish fan, another metal band from Finland (don't know if NW has been mentioned in this thread already, didn't read every post as this thread is lengthy). It's labeled as symphonic metal, and they used to have strong opera-vibe with the previous singer (the new singer is absolutely fine as well).

Here's some Nightwish, when I listened to "Wanderlust" for the first time after watching Avatar, the part "discover the deepest jungle" got to me very powerfully.

And a more folkish, instrumental track from Nightwish, Last of the Wilds:

Oh, and I got to link this one as well, Creek Mary's Blood:

Fittingly accompanied with "Dances with the Wolves" music video, the lyrics deal with native American cultures and their fate. The song is featured by John Two-Hawks, a Lakota, he recites a poem in his native tongue at the end of the track. This song just begs for an Avatar music video, if you ask me...

I actually tricked my friend with this one. I told her I know a really awsome song that she should hear so I gave her the link to this vid. I also said the volume is pretty low so she would have to turn it up quite loud and as I had planned, it scared the **** out of her :rotfl:

Lol, yeah I love the video (especially the flag bit :nlol:) Btw, I read somewhere that at certain points they had to play at twice the speed so that they could later slow the video down to get the low-gravity effect o_O

^Great, irayo prowler. Yeah it's a good song, though there are some typos in the lyrics. They also tend to pronounce hast as hasst which means hate instead of have.
