Pain of Salvation - Be [Live DVD]

I am...
I was not, then I came to be.
I cannot remember not being.
But I may have traveled very far to get here.



















Artist: Pain of Salvation
Album: Be [Live DVD] (2004)
Genre: Progressive Metal
Official Site: www.painofsalvation.com/

BE, I feel, is Daniel Gildenlow's brainchild. It is a concept about the creation of the universe and the rise and fall of humanity. Be was written and composed almost entirely by Daniel Gildenlow himself. The album, prior to its recording, was performed in its entirety live as a stage production in several locations, complete with costumes, a small reservior in the middle of the stage, and a 9-piece orchestra called the Orchestra of Eternity. This is the Live video from one of those performances.

To defeat the evil enemies
And we'll ride with our lord for the power and the throne
In the name of holy thunderforce.

Rhapsody (now known as Rhapsody of Fire) is well known throughout the Power Metal world for Luca Turilli's incredible composing skills, as well as the skill of its players (not to mention the sheer amount of cheese in their music).

Edguy

Edguy brings Power Metal to its knees. Formed in Germany, the band is headed by frontman and vocalist Tobias Sammet. Sammet's artistic and musical genious has made Edguy unique among the Power Metal world, stylistically combining both standard Power Metal elements with Heavy Metal to create a sound unlike any other. With fast dual guitar solos and Sammet's incredible vocal range, Edguy is a must-have for any Power Metal fan.

Galneryus

This Japanese Power Metal band was formed in 2001 by Valkyr guitar virtuoso Syu and vocalist Yama-B. After releasing three albums, the band is still going strong, and have released a Live DVD as of last year (3 days before my birthday, actually.) The band plays a great style of power metal with great guitar solos, and, for those of you who hate keyboard wankery, you will enjoy the fact that there is none. The keyboard playing is purely atmospheric, with a small solo here and there, but the band is primarily guitar-driven. Good kick-ass power metal from the land of the rising sun.

Manowar is possibly the best Heavy Metal band to ever come out of America. With an unusually epic sound, this band takes Heavy Metal to the next level.
