The Michael Grant R.I.P. thread just lead me to discovering Legend Maker. What a great band!!

Who do you know about that very few others would? I'd like to keep this in the Power Metal, Traditional Metal, Speed Metal realm, as that's my focus for this thread. Basically, something Michael Grant would sing.

I'll start:

Boomerang - Sounds of Sirens

Not an oldie, but this newer release from Interceptor-One With The Beast... Meet With The Devil is a nice EP of metal.

Tyrant - Hold Back the Lightning / Eyes of a Stranger single

NWOBHM masterpiece, better than the track Wurthless has posted above Razz


Crimson Glory like power/prog band


Beyond awesome album from US


Italian prog, very "safe" but not that cartoonish


German band no one has heard about: melodic prog/power. Toby from Edguy did listened to this track.


See above. Started out as a Helloweenish funny metal, morphed into something very special.

The Italian band HYPERION released a very cool album back in 1999, for fans of HEIMDALL, SKYLARK, or DRAKKAR.

What a shame that they never did a whole album. What a waste of talent...

Got a question: I remember a thread here in the forum, where someone had made a list with his favorite NWOBHM tunes. Some of the songs were real gems, like the ones mentioned here. Is someone here able to find that thread? I've used the search engine, but with no result...

Here you go. Thanks to that thread I discovered rare gems like this and finally understood NWOBHM is mostly "not my thing".

Yup. That's the thread that introduced me to Tyrant, as well as Saracen and a few other great NWOBHM bands.

A couple of hidden gems I've come across recently....

Solar Fragment - In Our Hands (pure Blind Guardian worship but it works. Hansi is even featured on one song)

S.I.N. - Equilibrium

Enforcer - Diamonds & Into The Night (both are amazing ablums)

Witch Cross is headbanger. Completely forgot about their existence.

German band from 1989. Nuff said.

Excellent call on the Dark At Dawn. Very, very good band that is tragically overlooked and not known in most circles (at least here in the U.S. of Trends...uh, I mean America). I only need to fork the cash out for a copy of their first EP, then I've got 'em all. Need to find me a shirt, though, too...where'd you find yours, OCI???


Another pretty good band that a lot of people don't know about is Sentinel Beast. Unfortunately I can't post a Youtube clippy since it's disallowed here at worky. But for those who don't know who they were (I'm sure some of you DO know), they were a speed/power/thrash metal band with a female singer (Debbie Gunn, ex-Znowhite) who put out a great album back in '86 called Depths of Death. Pretty hard to find, now... Old Metal Records put it out on CD.

Nightshade - known formerly as Q5 - they have a couple of really good traditional metal albums:



Breaker - this is the Breaker from Cleveland and they were an excellent band that still performs around Ohio.
