Thanks to the Master Of The Valley's recommendation, just listened to this one, and found out how many years have gone since the last time I headbanged this way for a heavy metal record.... youtu.be/Xtc2Yn6WJQw...maybe since Grand Magus "Iron Will" (10 years ago)? |

You should check out some Italian bands like Dark Quarterer (similar to Manila Road), Moon of Steel (like Crimson Glory but better--in my opinion) and Adramelch (a mix of Fates Warning/Warlord/Maiden and a bit of Helloween). Fuck me up with those 80's US Power Metal bands like Manilla Road, Omen, Liege Lord, Crimson Glory, Fates Warning, and Helstar. They had a certain atmosphere that I couldn't find in the European scene. |

I'm partial to some power metal... Well since you asked , if you've gone through the must 80s stuff like Helloween, if you need something more like that I think Scanner's Hypertrace & Terminal Earth might be up your alley for oldschool power.. |

This was deservedly a huge hit back at 1998, even NON metallers listened to it back , such a song, and great album.. But this song is as classic as it can get...

You are right, memory fades , I was kinda lazy and didn't bother to check the year  I also liked a lot their Excalibur album in 1999, I listened to it a lot back then, got the atmosphere, but to be honest, I *rarely* listened to it in afteryears, dunno why.. |

So, did anyone listen to the new Helloween yet? I gave it a few spins, and was kinda disappointed, not that I was expecting a new classic, effort and craftmanship certainly has been put into the new album, but it's just... not good enough, maybe not old Helloween (for me) enough.. I very much enjoyed lately though Ancient Empire's latest and Ensiferum's Thalassic too, those hit a nice string  |

Kiske sounds like exactly like in Keepers Times, it's amazing to hear Hansen here and there and they play with a joy and conviction like they were in their 20s. Very, very excited to hear the rest.
And it might be one of the best Cover artworks they ever had, too.
