Hey guys,

My band have just put another new song on myspace... it's a 14ish minute long epic called Durin's Bane - yep about the Balrog of Khazad-Dum and the fight with Gandalf

If you haven't heard it our recently released song "Time for War" is there too!

Take a listen... if you like Metal I think you will like us, and if not - we have a lot of melody going on in our songs and you might like it too!

Don't normaly like this type of music, (although i do own Iron Maidens first album, which is brilliant). but i found myself listening more than once. Two thumbs up

Some fantastic musicianship and writing skills but if you don't mind me saying - the vocals turn it into comedy.

Thanks dude - actually quite a lot of people say this to us. We find that even people who don't normally like metal music like our songs because they have a strong melodic element and are catchy - kinda like pop metal maybe haha...

I don't mind at all, all feedback is good feedback butwhat did you think was comedy hehe? I dunno if you know many other power metal bands (e.g. Helloween) but comedy lyrics/vocals is par for the course

Glad you liked it though!

The style of music is not for me but I appreciate the quality of musicianship.

I'm a big fan of Helloween (especially Keeper) but you seem to have gone 'over the top' with the comedy vocals as though you're not taking it serious.
It's very Spinal Tap'ish.
Music is excellent though.
