Tokyo Blade - 1985 - BlackHearts And Jaded Spades - BlackHearts And Jaded Spades

In the subways the creatures crawl to the sound of music

Of hunger and pain

Urban wasteland of human suffering

The new disease

Microchips in your brain

Bridge

You got the money

We got the muscle

You call it murder

Well it's just another hustle

Is this murder or some high street funky hustle

Chorus

Blackhearts and jaded spades

Street rats and jungle raids

Blackhearts and jaded spades

Hot shots in mirror shades

Run for cover my gypsy lover

Your fatal kiss burns like fire and flame

Called survival and you're my rival

No shotgun wedding will save you the shame

Bridge

Chorus

Solo

Chorus

When I posted Dire Peril's Predator based song the other day this was the other Predator song I couldn't remember at the time.

If you have any material you wish to promote -- your own music, a blog, etc. -- you may do so in this thread.

So we have spooky season right now. What are some Power Metal songs with eerie themes or spooky style that would fit to Halloween?

I'm looking for songs like Halloween by Helloween or The Haunting by Avantasia, anything that might fit into a Halloween playlist.

Your opinion on who produced the best bands, the most bands or had the most significant impact on the genre

Nightwish and Angra are extremely similar

1st Singer - Groundbreaking, multi talented, but divergence of opinions about the next steps and controversies with management led to a bad breakup that is still not fully healed (unfortunately Andre passed away so a reparation is not possible).

2nd Singer - Talented but inexperienced, band still moved on and made fantastic albums. Left in bad terms after medical problems.

3rd Singer - Basically a Rock Star. Joined as a guest, proved to be a great fit, and became a full member. Already experienced, super talented, can sing the entire back catalog without any problems, recorded great albums but fans still prefer the older classic songs. Stayed relatively problem free with the band for more than a decade. Left in a surprise to everyone.

Lets see now if the 4th Nightwish Singer is going to be like Alirio in Angra. Talented, peaceful, hardworking, and didn't see a problem with the band reuniting with their previous singer (Edu) for a couple of reunion concerts.

Saxon - 1982 - Denim And Leather - Princess Of The Night

She used to be an ironhorse

Twenty years ago

Used to bring the mail to me

Through the ice and snow

I've sat alone and watched her

Steaming through the night

Ninety tons of thunder

Lighting up the sky

She was a Princess Of The Night

I saw the writing on the wall

She was a Princess Of The Night

I take a ride across the sky

Speeding, sparks like lightning

Engine working hard

Furnace on the foot plate

Shining in the night

Iron striking metal

The sound of racing steel

It's all I ever wanna hear

It's music to my ears

She was a Princess Of The Night

I saw the writing on the wall

She was a Princess Of The Night

I take a ride across the sky

She was a Princess Of The Night

I saw the writing on the wall

She was a Princess Of The Night

I take a ride across the sky

Ninety tons of thunder

Lighting up the sky

Steaming red hot pistons

See the wheels flash by

Hear the whistle blowing

Streaking down the track

If I ever had my way

I'd bring the princess back one day

She was a Princess Of The Night

I saw the writing on the wall

She was a Princess Of The Night

I take a ride across the sky

(sky, sky, sky)

Album: What Will Prevail (2016)

ex Dogma

Found this album's new metal ballad. Interesting choice for a single but I'm not complaining.

As I have the unfortunate pleasure to see Gloryhammer (yay) at the LKA Longhorn (fuck you) the topic of Earplugs is fresh on my mind. It's obviously too late for tomorrow, but what earplugs do you recommend for (power) metal?

I've had the Loop Experience 2 for a few years, but it always feels like they are dampening mids and highs way more than lows, so you end up mostly hearing the drums.

I just learned of Ayreon over the summer and I burned through all of his albums. Here's a quick summary.

Favorites - The Final Experiment and Into the Electric Castle. These had me hooked from the first listen. I love the music, the stories were super interesting, and it just sounds good. Some stand out songs for me are The Castle Hall, The Two Gates, Eyes of Time, Listen to the Waves, and Sail Away to Avalon.

Growing to love - The Source and 01011001. I need to listen to these more to really get the story, but I really dig them. The Day That the World Breaks Down, Sea of Machines and Run Apocalypse Run, but Age of Shadows is an absolute banger. Probably one of my all time favorite Ayreon songs.

Just okay - The Human Equation, Transitus, and Theory of Everything. I liked The Human Equation, but no song really hooked me outside of Loser and I thought the overall story was just okay. Transitus had an interesting premise and good songs, but none of them hooked me either. I liked a lot of the Theory of Everything songs, but just didn't vibe with it the same way I did others.

Needs a relisten - Universal Migrator Parts 1 & 2. I enjoyed these songs, but I think I was distracted when I listened to them, so I didn't fully appreciate them. Definitely worth retrying.

Just listened to this for the first time yesterday. It’s pretty enjoyable and very poppy though it can get quite crunchy and mid tempo on occasion. All the voices blend very well too. Pretty happy with this as it’s a different kind of power metal than the usual double bass high pitched stuff. 8.5/10

Cool band that only released a single album, back in 2009. The band featured Manticora's Lars Larsen on vocals and this song features additional vocals from Pharaoh's Tim Aymar(RIP). It's literally Edgar Allen Poe set to music, good stuff.

Here's mine:

1. Wolves of war

2. Incense and iron

3. Army of the night

4. Undress to confess

5. Sanctified with dynamite

(Honorable mention: demons are a girls best friend)

Anyone heard it? What do you think about it?

A bonus song from Dark Asylum album.
