I named "Tampere Under Flaming Skies". I know it's too basic but i think it sums up the whole thing. A new live dvd since it has a title from a song off the new album and Tampere shows that it is in Finland  ...

This should be nice for a good laugh Lol. But somehow I don't think it'll be that good for the band.

Written by Milena on 30.12.2011 at 19:39 Yes, you can find far worse in the genre. That being said, I don't see the relevance of this band nowadays. Imo, it would have been better to stop around the time of the "Elements" albums. But perhaps this comment is more motivated by my perception that Powermetal is not relevant since around the millenia than by my feeling towards this band specifically. I see Powermetal as a dying genre that already gave all the good it had long ago.

Written by RavenKing on 30.12.2011 at 20:05 Well, you know what, I think you're pretty much right. Out of all power metal bands that appeal to me, two are on a hiatus, one issued an average album in 2011, one issued a good but a terribly unoriginal album, and two took genre turns. Having said that, maybe some true fans of the genre, and of Strato would disagree with us.

Written by Milena on 30.12.2011 at 19:39 Oh, I know. I wasn't attacking the band in a malicious way, just poking fun. I enjoy some of their stuff, although I'm not a fan. But I *would* consider myself a fan of power metal; I like to think that I've heard the worst and the best. ;3

Written by Milena on 30.12.2011 at 23:42 And what about Bon Jovi rip-offs like "Carry Me Over", "Lost In Space", etc.? (Avantasia) You can hardly find more awful than that.

I came here to suggest something utterly hilarious but Power Boner was already posted.

Written by Irritable Ted on 31.12.2011 at 21:46 You win sir. I love awesome people-spotting on DVDs. My best find was some lame ass goth chicks (not that goth chicks are lame ass, but these in particular were) who cried during every other song in the whatsitcalled Nightwish DVD from 2005. Or maybe just in one song, I haven't seen it in ages. (yes, I memorize years better)
