A music genre is an opinion. End of talking

Metal isn't a genre, is a feeling.

i voted for dark moore....great metal band....shame on me 'cause i didn't know till now that they were spanish...but anyway...thy impressed me from beginning....awesome drums

Sorry for asking an out-of-topic question, but you guys would be the first to know. How do you pronounce the "ä" in Mägo De Oz? Is it like the German "ä" or just as a plane "a"?
Again sorry for being out of topic.

Do you have the Fölktergeist CD or DVD? In that case, you'll hear José say "Mägo De Oz" as we say it in Spanish. We pronounce it as a plain a (not Danish "a" for sure, lol). I guess the umlaut is just an aesthetic thing, as well as in Deströyer 666.

By the way, I'm demanding the inclusion of Barón Rojo as a featured band in my signature now

Cheers...I don't have the mentioned CD or DVD but I hope to get them some day

I choose other, i decide to choose Avulsed, they are a great Brutal Death Metal band, and the only Spanish band i really like.

I voted for Baron Rojo, because they have very meaningful lyrics, and they are quite good at the instrumentation... i didn't voted for Mago de Oz, because here in Colombia has becamed a poser band... i mean, the band is very good, but here is so mainstream, that any stupid kid, can come out with some copy of Finisterra, a t-shirt of Mago... and he suddenly becames a metalhead... that makes an awful image of the band here...

If you like Mägo, who cares about which people listen to them...? Here is something similar but I don't care If I like... I don't care who the hell listen to them!!

I wholeheartedly agree with Dam3k. What matters is the music they make, not the image posers give of them in your country. I've seen countless people you call posers or mainstream lovers with t-shirts of Metallica's "Ride the Lightning" or Iron Maiden's "Brave New World" here. This does not mean that these albums are simple or that you should like them less in order to look like a true metalhead. In fact, that is what posing is about: about trying to appear like somebody or something you are not. If you like an album for several reasons (technicality, "headbangeability", whatever, you should not be influenced by society in your intimate thoughts. If you just listen to some band in order to show yourself in society like "Hey, I'm so true! Look at me!", or stop listening to them in order to avoid been frowned upon, then you are that poser.

occultus: I remember the last two concert of Mägo here... I wanted to cry that days! I use to love Mägo, and when I hear the old stuffs I still like them. So I will choose Mägo but i'm not sure. i mean I love that band or at least I used to. I remember how my life used to be so related with Mägo...
Well about the band they make some good stuffs. I love 'La Leyenda de la Mancha' and 'Finisterra'. What the hell I love all their first albums. i don't really like Gaia and the last things...
I like how they have fun! I mean, in the stage they have fun and we feel that, so we have fun too.

what about Daemonlord:banger2:
pure black metal from Spain

I don't have any doubt... Baron Rojo is the biggest spanish band of metal. Other three spanish good bands are Vanzai, Sangre Azul and Angeles del Infierno.

For me, Mago de Oz are the worst combination of metal with folk... in simple words: shit.

Well... atm is the most representative metal band in Spain so it cannot be that bad =)

I didn't vote but i like Avalanch!!! Damn!!! this song Lucero!!! i really like it!!!!

That's their masterpiece man =))) if u like it vote it!!!!

I voted for Mägo de Oz because, first of all is the first metal band i've ever herad (well i listened to numetal before) but i think that in many songs they demonstrate a great ability, I think that all the members in the band are good musicians,
Mohammed studied in a conservatory
Jose was a singing teacher
I don't know the history of the other guys but certainly, only by hearing them, I know that as musicians they have a great talent
And even that in Mexico they are gaining popularity amon non-metalheads, I don't care, (I don't even care about their new look) I will listen to them while they keep doing good music

Mägo de oz obviously. Is te most representative band of spanish and with the folk of there.
So fucking awesome!

I went for Baron Rojo as they are old school heavy metal, my favorite genre!

Great!!! I remember hearing them when they first appeared on the scene in the 80s and was blown away. Fortunately, I'm not one of those people who ignore bands because thay don't sing in a language I understand (namely: english). Otherwise I would've missed out on a lot of great bands that I wouldn't have otherwise listened to. But as much as I like Baron Rojo, I voted for Dark Moor. One listen to Vivaldi's Winter and Houdini's Great Escapade and I was hooked.

my favorite too compadre, you must listen Xana from the Angel caido album or la taverna from the first. Avalanch and Tierra Santa are my favorites bands from spain, but Baron Rojo is great too, somebody have the solo album of the guitarist sherpa? or tony hernando? i must get them!!

oh, i forget Saurom are greatest too! I love their discs, but i don't know much about them

ehm dude? are u retard or something????? it was SARCASTIC... I don't need to study anything about metal but you should check ur brain or maybe go WIKIPEDIA and read the concepts ironic/sarcastic

i vote for Baron Rojo because they are the most representative spanish band in the metal scene, and the last concert was amazing

it's amazing there are more fans here than I could ever imagine... I don't know why isn't this band added...

Yeah, they were the friggin' pioneers of Spanish Heavy Metal! If you have some convincing information about Barón Rojo, post it in the Bands To Add thread. I'm sure they will be added in a couple of weeks if we help the Mods out - they are just a few and don't have the time to collect everything about every band, you know.

@ Taktsekte: Well, I'm a bit disappointed with that forum, I've tried to add, Liquid Tension Experiment, Beethoven R. and I didn't have any success... so I cannot imagine what would they say about an old band... anyway I'll try as soon as I've got time

Voted for Baron Rojo because I like them most of the bands mentioned and it was the first Spanish band I ever heard. That was way back in 1983 when I first heard their album called Metal Morphosis.
