Angel, PLEASE PLEASE check out "SERENITY"!
They're from Austria and I still can't believe one of our very own made it to the ProgPower Festival! (Yeah I know that Belphegor are touring the world but I'm talking power metal here
)
Having toured with Kamelot, Evergrey and Morgana LeFay and having scored a major deal lately they're not considered "underground" anymore though
But they're considered as the new "power/melodic metal" hope in Austria (if the international reviews are to be believed, then even in the whole of Europe).
Well, I had never ever heard of them, although they've been around for quite some while. I always missed their shows around here, never on purpose though. But then raving reviews of their latest album started to pop up and studio reports about them mixing their CD in Finnland at Finvox (Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, etc..) and stuff. I was just like "Wow, Austrian metalheads taking a big step, hu?". I ordered their Album "Words Untold & Dreams Unlived" and here I am now, totally surprised and enthused, asking you to check them out and report about their live perfomance
I don't want to draw direct comparisons to already established bands, but if you check them out some of their influences seem obvious. Plus, mixing their CD at Finvox somehow makes their sound a bit like other big bands who got their stuff done at those studios.
Okay, enough bla bla, I have a feeling that you're gonna like em Angel
