I... don't think so... last I heard they were a soft/mid Christian rock band
08.01.2011 - Axe Argonian
Absolutely not. They are a rock band not a metal band.
02.04.2011 - Xim
They're Post-grunge and if not even Alter Bridge is allowed here I don't think this band has a chance in hell.

I agree with Xim. Alter Bridge is way more metal than this band could ever hope to be, and it isn't on here. This band is too far on the alt-rock/post-grunge side. Doesn't belong here at all.
Also, out of all the alt-rock/post-grunge bands, they're one of my least favorite. So I'm biased. But still, no.

If there's a home for Def Leppard on MetalStorm then there's absolutely no reason why we shouldnt build one for Night Ranger.
Listen to songs like Lay It On Me and No Time To Lose Ya and you will understand why.
Please help me folks we have a nice new home for Night Ranger to build.
They truly deserve a slot on MetalStorm... +1 from me and maybe one from you as well?
16.07.2011 - Xim
Thing is Def Leppard's first album was undeniably a heavy metal album.
23.12.2018 - seba.rock
this great band can not be missing in Metal Storm
28.01.2019 - Dead In Hell
Def Leppard, whatever one thinks of the music's quality, was technically a metal band at some point (albeit of the hair variety). Night Ranger never really came close to being metal of any variety. If Boston is blacklisted, then Night Ranger doesn't have a spot here either. |

Kandia are a female-fronted rock band from Portugal. They've been doing everything by themselves so they need all the promo and support they can get. They release their single "Reflections" today and it features JP Leppaluoto from Gothic band CHARON!
You should have them here on Metal Storm because they are fresh and have a tremendous sound!
Thanks!
19.01.2010 - FrostWind
Ye they have good sound, however not sure if they are fully metal. In addition, I will still give +1 to it.
14.10.2011 - Darklands
Seen them last night supporting Within Temptation in their show in Lisbon.
They are definitely Gothic Metal.

They're Alternative Metal, something along the lines of modern days Lacuna Coil. |

A very energetic, thrash metal band with hints of alternative metal.
These guys have been touring quite extensively around the largest metal/rock festivals (e.g. Tuska Open Air) in Finland during this year. And the debut album ("Lifebound", released through SpineFarm) has received positive reviews, hence one might consider adding BRHG to MetalStorm.

19.04.2012 - kual21
One of the most fast and rising band stars in all Brazil. Combine a mix of heavy, thrash, doom and progressive that makes each music a joy to hear. One of my favourite bands in the last years. Each member has amazing musical experience and ability... It would be a great addition to the "Metal Storm team".

Galderia is a young, promising band from Marseille, France. They play a unique style of Melodic Power Metal, as it's never been heard before. They definitely are a enrichment for the whole "metal scene". Appearing on this site could possibly make them a little better known. Galderia have the potential to be the next Gamma Ray or Stratovarius, because their melodies are very various and captivating. Their technical skills on the instruments are great, and you can recognize that by the quality of their music. I think, some more people should be able to enjoy this great young band, and that's why I consider it as important for this band to appear on MetalStorm.net.
07.09.2017 - Andreas
Two albums under their belt already. The amount of happiness is uncanny but the music is really inspired.

12.01.2010 - Vortigern
I'm defitinely more a death-metal listener, but Malsain is one of the only black metal band I really like. The front-women has an extraordinary and impressive growls that make her one of the best female metal singer I'v ever heard. Also all the band succeed really well in making their "chlostrophobic feeling" as they call it themselves. They create a atmosphere of fear that you can also feel in the most scary horror movies and for that I'm sure that many black-metal fan would also appreciate very much. Up to date they have made one demo (Sote Drommer, 2004) and two albums (An EP: They Never Die, 2005 and a Studio-CD: The Disease, 2007). I hope that many people will vote for that amazing band, it really deserve it.
12.01.2010 - Bloodsong
I must agree that Malsain should be list in metalstorm. Even if they're not raw black metal.
13.01.2010 - Ankou
Malsain is an indisputable good band. Despite their relative fresh arrival on the metal scene, they've got a sound and they know how to use it. Indeed, they push forward codes defining metal with a deep dark-tragic-heroic atmosphere. The result: a gloomy-melodic 2nd album, called The Disease, of 10 songs combining catchy riffs, dirty sounds and an incredible claustrophobic feeling.
Black metal or not black metal…Is it really the question? The bottom line is that this Norwegian ensemble Malsain is giving us a real peace of art, darker than black…colder than ice. I strongly suggest checking this out; don't take the risk to miss that.
28.01.2010 - pdepmcp
Nice band.
05.12.2018 - Starvynth
BTW: "They never die" is not an EP but a (rather short) full-length. I know for sure because it's in my collection.
Anyway, Malsain was a rather nice band, so: +1. |

Just labelling them Progressive is a bit unfair, as it's quite a melodic death metal affair as well at times. The riffs are technical, heavy, but at the same time not just self-indulgent wanking. Check out the whole thing here for free: http://soulcyclemetal.bandcamp.com/

BIOGRAPHY:
HUMANART were founded in September 1998 in Santo Tirso (Porto, Portugal). After a year of experimenting and composing the band moved into the studio Rec N' Roll (Oct 1999) to record their first opus "Fossil" (author's edition in MCD format), produced by Luis Barros and released in February 2000.
For the next 4 years, Humanart played several dates for Portugal and shared stage with many national and foreign bands increasing its cohesion and stability, but also leaving their own mark and place in the Portuguese Black Metal scene! In September 2004, with the consolidation of sound and musicians, the band released their second work "Hymn Obscura" (author's edition), again in MCD format, recorded and produced in GraveStudio in Braga, by Pedro Alves and Humanart.
In September of 2005, they became for a period of time a one-man-band (JJ guitarist and one of the Humanart founders who was writing all the new material) at the beginning of 2007 new members where recruited. Along with 2008 came a series of performances on various stages all over the country with the renewed line up. 2008 also saw the celebration of the band's 10th Anniversary and the release of the Special Tape Edition "X Years of Black Crusade" - featuring two original songs and a cover (Carpathian Forest), recorded in the rehearsal studio Pitbull Studio by Praise Unholy Records.
From 2009 to 2012 the band concentrated on more live shows. At the end of 2013 Humanart started the recording process of their new album "Lightbringer" (mixed and produced by André Rodrigues - Full Power Studio) -again an author's edition. The album was officially presented in April 2014 at Hard Club (Porto), Frenopatiko (Vigo) and Side B (Lisbon).
In 2015 the band continued touring and in March 2016 the band released their first official video clip for the song "The Darkest Light".
2017 started with many appearances in festivals and events and at the same time the band started working on their next album.
The new album "(Further) Into The Depths" started to be recorded/mixed in September of 2008 at Hanuman Studio by Bruno Silva and was mastered in Sweden at Necromorbus Studio by Tore Stjerna (Armagedda, Behexen, Funeral Mist, Merrimak, Watain). The Design was made by Gustavo Sazes (Morbid Angel, Arch Enemy, Machine Head) and it was released in April of 2019 by Dark Age Productions and distributed by Ultraje.
For the ones not familiar with their sound Humanart play tradicional Black Metal with inspiration from the 90's merged with an unique interpretation forged and aged in the last two decades of underground.

The band originates from the web comic of the same name by Finnish artist J.P. Ahonen. First album ''Pantheon of the Nightside Gods'' will be released 26.4.2019. First single Blackened Call was released 2018 and it was really good melodic death metal. Very promising new band!
22.02.2019 - matt4815162342
BTW, when you listen closely to vocals on the first single, it's clear that in fact it's Niilo Sevänen from Insomnium. So either the whole Insomnium is behind this project (and I must admit that some parts of the song remind me of Winter's Gate), or this is a collaboration between musicians from different bands, Insomnium's lead singer being one of them. |

Hello, I'm Elvaan Ibanfure, the artist I'm suggesting, I'd love to have my music featured in here because I believe my material is actually really good and relevant to the metal community. I released my debut album a year ago and It has received very positive reviews from national and international media. My music is a combination of various genres, from Progressive death metal, to classical music, electronic music and Post-Rock / Metal Elements. This would help me get bigger exposure and grow as an artist. |
