Not quite a metal band, but seeing that other hard rock or glam bands are featured, I do not see why these guys shouldn't be here. Great White is one of the better bands from that thoroughly commercial movement of the 80s.

Corvus is a Melodic Metal band from Ukraine. They released their debut album "Raven Rising" in 2012.
28.09.2015 - diamondblack
http://www.reverbnation.com/royalcorvus
Royal Corvus band was formed in September 2005 and the first band name was Corvus. The name was borrowed from Latin, it translates - the Raven. It is a symbol of the wisdom in most ancient religions of the world. Raven is a carrier of souls across the River of Eternity and a binding link between the fragile edge of the World of Shadows and the World of the Living. Initially, the Corvus band was created as a melodic symphonic gothic metal project, but in the process of development and quality growth joins itself the best of the different trends and styles of rock. Now Royal Corvus band has created more than thirty Russian and English-language songs. Song's sound is very different: from romantic ballads to hard and progressive rock. And nobody of the listeners will not remain indifferent, because everyone will find something in this music for themselves. All this different musical styles are merged in one unique style - Corvus style. Besides his own works band plays covers of classic rock and pop songs. During its long history Royal Corvus band many times was engaged in various kinds of rock and bike festivals in Kharkov, and outside it. The Royal Corvus band received invitations and performed in support to rock stars as: Master, Sergey Mavrin, Epidemia, Catharsis, and vocalist of the legendary bands Rainbow and Deep Purple - Joe Lynn Turner. April 28, 2012 the Corvus band has presented their debut album - Raven Rising. October 24, 2012 Royal Corvus was official support group of SCORPIONS in Kharkov as part of the farewell tour "FINAL STING TOUR" . |

Amazing avantgarde band i've discovered recently, mixing jazz, slow & fast tempos with a thrashy druming and almost no vocals besides occasional screams, these guys will for sure deliver for avangarde metal fans!

It started well in 2013 with the debut, but the follow up album is an absolute killer with new vocals are Pathfinder-like background, holy shit.
04.11.2016 - SIX
It's phenomenal and unlikely band, especially on polish metal scene strongly dominated by black/death metal. Titanium explores quite different musical areas - melodic power metal.
The band has released 2 albums until now, both issued with success in Japan by Avalon/Marquee label. The second LP "Atomic number 22" released on 28.09.2016.
The band was started by the guitarist and main composer Karol Mania, known for symphonic metal band Pathfinder as well.
On vocals we can hear Konstantin Naumenko from Ukrainian SUNRISE band.
Here you can watch their official video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAxTbBCIfV0

Innate Concept's musical identity is rooted in the Progressive Metal genre - and the word "progression" is to be taken literally. Innate Concept strives to incorporate elements, instruments and ideas normally not found in classic Progressive Metal. The newest album "Sunset In Our Eyes" combines elements from electronica and classical elements into a whole new and unique sound. A multitude of synthesizers create the atmosphere, color and texture, the mighty Taiko drum ensemble delivers power, groove and impact, while the Armenian Duduk conjures up ethereal melodies, adding yet another layer to the rich-bodied symphonic orchestra. A piano and various acoustic guitars are another integral part of melodic storytelling and quite frequently intertwine with other instruments. All of this takes place planted firmly on the foundation of thundering drums, shredding guitars and a nasty, angry bass. Innate Concept's music is challenging, demanding, cunning, powerful, intense, yet so delicate and fragile. Be prepared, for it will demand your full attention - and it will surprise you if you dare a listen. Debut album can be purchased at http://www.innateconcept.com/shop/ |

Fresh Progressive Metal/Rock from Germany in an exciting mixture:
Sometimes very heavy and powerful,sometimes rather calm, thoughtful and dreamy - always innovative and full of emotions, honesty and affecting melancholy.
All this embedded in a frame of progressive and virtuosic instrumental parts with lots of groove meeting catchy vocals between introverted sensibilty and extroverted aggression.

This is me, Mort., a one-member band which plays all the instruments, like Burzum and Gallowbraid. The reason that I want to be on Metal Storm, is because I want to socialize with my fans, yes, I already have a couple of fans which they bought my music from Bandcamp and my website store. I wanna share my music, spread the world and I think that MetalStorm is the number Heavy Metal social network, so it could help the people to discover my music, to rate my music and be more popular, in fact, I want to make my dream come true. :) |

Trivax are one of the only metal bands to have ever played live inside and outside of Iran and are also a force to be reckoned with since their move to the United Kingdom metal scene. The music is as heavy and as aggressive as one from the middle-east can come up with. |

Heat Of Damage are an up and coming band from Northern California. Having already released a full-length album, with a new single out just recently, Heat Of Damage will offer novelty and excitement to MetalStorm. The group, according to reviews, can not be "pigeon-holed" as their style per song can change - they are bound by no rules or particular sub-genre of metal. Heat Of Damage's first album, as well as their most recent single release, will appeal to MetalStorm fans across Metal's vast spectrum. |

Outstanding Australian blackened death metal band that hails from Perth. I saw them recently support Fleshgod Apocalypse and they were very good.

The band released one EP(October 2015) and one LP(May 2017), and their style of music is very similar to ones like Aenaon, Ihsahn, Enslaved and Gojira, the bands that blend progressive elements with pure extreme metal; which are loved by Metal Storm fans.

24.05.2017 - Viridancer
We are Viridanse from Italy, band formed in the early eighties from the Italian wave scene, reformed in 2014. For about a year since the release of the CD "Viridanse" (2015 Fonoarte -distr. Audioglobe), we have recorded and published a new album "Hansel & Gretel e la Strega Cannibale", which will be distributed in June 2017. It's a job more and more musically oriented to very harsh post metal and rough sound, thanks to the production of Lorenzo Stecconi (Zu, Ufomammut, Lento). The new album starts with fabulous allegiance to represent the grotesque and devastating side of the society we are immersed in and whose decline we are co-responsible. The work draws on hands full of fantastic and horror literature, Lovercraft and Gothic in particular, while the sound is pushing more and more towards post-metal territories and dark psychedelia. |
