This is definitely the best sounding Lithuanian band I've heard. I've checked out a few Lithuanian bands and unfortunately most of them were a bit disappointing. Now I can understand that you're Lithuanian so you have resentment towards Russia due to Soviet oppression, but I can't really say this ba...

Maybe it’s a bit too obvious for this topic, but « Rollin on » from UNIVERSE should be known worlwide: catchy as fuck, perfect FM song from a songwriting point a view, produced like it must be, killer voice that doesn’t scare the mainstream ears… In a perfect world, they should be more famous than ...

Glory Bells Band is definitely one of those bands where it's somewhat mediocre, so understandable why a lot of people would rate them that way, but their good songs have really catchy hooks and great riffs. Fate isn't exactly top-shelf AOR but I like the atmosphere on their first couple albums, the...

This seems super cool, going to have to listen to it later. Is this a "side-project" of Raven or is it more like John and Mike lent their playing to help the other guy in the band out?

Was browsing some old Rodney Matthews covers and came across this. Wrong kind of steel in this band.

Steel guitar? Haha

Holy shit, awesome! I love Tegen Hart and have listened to their LP a ton over the last few years, it's one of my absolute favorite Italian releases. Glad to see this exists. Will listen ASAP

I hope I'm in the right forum. I need help in identifying this band. I forgot it's name,so,please if anyone can help I would be very grateful;It's the UK band, mid 80's.post NWOBHM wave band.Thanks!!! https://i.imgur.com/ie2iJEA.jpg Hmm interesting. They have a very familiar look, but then again th...

Guessing based on the other posts in the thread, I'd say maybe: Crom (Finland) Crowley (Japan) Enforce (Germany; did the demo "In Search of Wisdom") Harfang Orialix Inherent Sin Insane (Swedish Heavy/Speed/Melodic Metal) Saber Tiger Steel Angel (France; probably well known I'd think but I ...

Hmm. It might help if you specify which exact regions/scenes you aren't as knowledgeable about so that way people who reply can specifically tell you some more insightful recommendations.

Speaking of the Japanese Metal scene, I think "Headlight No. 1" had a really cool style when it comes to black and white 7" sleeves. He's the guy who drew most of the Gorgon sleeves of course, outside of his band Headlight. https://www.discogs.com/label/110636-Metal-Coven-Records He d...

Yeah, Mark Benson is something of an acquired taste. Much like a fine Limburger cheese, stinky but worth getting used to. Thanks for listening! His voice is like a weird combination of Messiah Marcolin and, not necessarily El Duce but what a replacement Mentors singer what sound like. But the music...

Not entirely sure if this fits Corroseum, but fuck it - Uli is GOD.

Interesting idea for a thread, and while I've definitely listened to quite a few bands that fit your description, aside from the ones you listed I'm seriously drawing blanks on good recommendations. I'd say Мастер (Master) from Russia's first album (haven't heard the rest yet) would fit the bill qui...
