We have a greek prog metal band here who changed their name from Ivory Tower to "The Ivory Tower" cause of the synonymous Germans but I don't think you care 'bout that.

Brazilians must be the world champions of synonymity,apart from their heavy/power band called Warlord,they even have a thrash metal band called...Slayer!!! With a 2006 release,geesh!

Crown of Thorns is another example of sueing and chaning the name,the Swedish death/thrashers.

By the way the most insane double-name case is the one with Atomic Opera,it seems crazy that 2 bands picked THAT shitty name at the same time in the States!

Heaven's Gate - Livin' In Hysteria album

I agree,it is a tired subject,sorry if I started anything,let's stop it here!

As long as they don't upload new stuff thus stealing money from the artists I don't see why they contribute to the downfall of underground metal. I don't know if I'm "false" but I'd rather download an 80s private release or demo than pay 1000bucks for it (which is an price I cannot afford)...

Glacier kicked fuckin' ass,I think they got a bit more attention from the fact that the GOD that's named Tim Lachman sang on them after the EP but they deserve every prasing word one can say. Love live US power metal,the best kind'o'metal ever existed,hehe!

Yeah I stopped buying after Powerplant as well! I can't tell you whether to buy it or not,after all,it's the internet age dammit,check out some samples,download a song,whatever! Part IIs suck as an idea,I totally agree,it's only a way to draw attention.

Land of the Free pt.1 is a masterpiece of the genre,no more to be said about that.

Hehe you're right,I played this game with myself...and I lost,lol! He mainly steals from old Gamma Ray songs,then from Iron Maiden and last but not least from Helloween,I think there's the alarm clock ring from Little Time in the last song of the record!

I didn't like it that much,I'm not saying that it's crap,maybe my expectations were too high! Sacred Oath's new CD is certainly better,in my opinion even Septer's CD is better but anyway,get it and judge for yourselves,I don't want to discourage anyone from buying it!

Great clip,thanks for the heads-up IONBRITTON!

I still wonder how someone can be brutal and prog,I think brutality has to have an "in-your-face" quality and prog with all the time changes and shit isn't quite "in-your-face". Anyway!

I wonder how Yes came up in a "savagely brutal prog metal" conversation!

By the way,weren't Coroner brutal and prog in many ways?

Who the hell is Ligeti?!?! Anyway,I think this is a pointless search,we could as well be searchings for ultra-fast doom metal or drone/thrash. Just put Energetic Disassembly on your deck or CD-player and turn the volume up!
