Wots with this band? All they seem to do is scream and shout.And that Shadows guy (talk about making a name up to sound cool) needs to grow up.

These are totally stark raving bonkers!.I really like em !.

You can hear a few more of their songs on their myspace site:

Apologies,can't get the link thingy to work on this site !.

Begins with T. I've heard a few songs by them, they're like the Finnish Manowar.

Have to agree, fantastically bizzarre. Whilst we're indulging in subgenres, Finland's Eurovision entry for this year: Heroic Metal. Can't remember the name of the band though...

Heh, that's pretty good. I don't think I had heard of them, no.

Have you heard of Nekrogoblikon?

Go there and press play on the flash thing. Pirate-Goblin metal, it's bizarre but brilliant.

Specifically folk and battle metal? :^)

Heard of Alestorm, Moose? They're a Pirate Power Metal band from Scotland, and were great supporting Turisas; could have met them at the Afterparty, but I was utterly knackered and left before the bands turned up.

(Ok, Running Wild have been doing the whole Pirate thing since the 80s, but I've not heard much from them...)

I like metal but there are far more interesting things coming out of Europe than the American metalcore thing.

Poisssssssssson.

I saw them once, and wasn't too impressed, aside from their cover of Holy Diver, which is pretty decent. And making things fun? A few obscene jokes, fine. Try seeing Saxon, Motorhead or Megadeth, you get genuine humour there. As well as some genuine, classic Metal.

As for other newer/more mainstream stuff, I don't mind some stuff by Trivium as they seem to be heading in a bit of an 80s Metallica direction (Take note, I don't say 80s Thrash, as there's much variety there). I was pretty impressed by Mastodon at Reading '06 and whilst waiting for Megadeth to come on to UEA's stage, Job for a Cowboy were also rather impressive (Openers Evile less so).

But as for the likes of 'Sevenfold, with increasingly juvenile pop-rock vocals and so forth, no thanks.

Killswitch are one of they few bands who make this music fun IMO.

I have seen them twice and thought they were great.Loud,Brutal and aggressive yet never appearing to take themselves too seriously.I have seen tonnes of metal acts and Killswitch were the one I can honestly say I enjoyed the most.

Saying that,If you don't like this kind of music the chances are you won't care for them.

American rubbish.
