Brainstorm or Symphorce?

Ok with Andy B. Franck singing vocals for both Brainstorm & Symphorce which band do you prefer?

I tend to go with Brainstorm for melodic purposes but on the other hand Symphorce for more heaviness!

I love both bands and both are unique in their own way!

What cds do you own from both bands?

Brainstorm. Easy. I just like the catchiness of Brainstorm more. Of course, I own everything by Brainstorm except Hungry—which I've downloaded. I only own Godspeed and Twice Second by Symphorce (I just ordered PhorcefulAhead, though). So I guess I can't really compare them. Both are very good, either way.

If you dig Brainstorm, check out a band called Eternal Reign. They're like Brainstorm with a singer that sounds like both Brainstorm singers. I found their second album in the used bin a while back. Check them out, I highly recommend them!

ETERNAL REIGN - EDGE OF THE WORLD
ETERNAL REIGN - NIGHTSTALKER

I still need to find Eternal Reign's debut, which seems to be just as rare as Brainstorm's debut.

neither!

Brainstorm!

I'd love to hear those old Ivanhoe albums w/ Andy on

Brainstorm easily! Although Symphorce (especially Godspeed) is good!

Brainstorm, but I like 'em both.



Haven't heard the latest Symphorce yet.

I'm a more recent fan of both bands, so I can't compare really. I only own Liquid Monster by Brainstorm, and Twice Second by Symphorce.

Brainstorm for me, for some unknown reason I never liked the only Symphorce CD that I had "Twice Second"

Me too. I guess I'd go with Brainstorm, since I have 3 of their cd's as opposed to the only 1 Symphorce (Godspeed) I own. But I'm liking both bands. I'd really have to listen to both of 'em more to make a fair comparision.

It's a tie!

Do you have Soulseek? I have it. I could put it up if you want.

I want it!

I have money! Wanna sell it?

Thanks, but I'm not at the "might as well get the MP3s" stage yet. Haha. When I have MP3s of an album, I tend to not buy them, or actively pursue finding them. And I hate that. Haha. I will keep you in mind, though, if I do get to that point.

Ok i will put it up. I need to look around for it. I will let you know when it's up.


and BTW: no I don't want to sell it. It's not really one of my favorites, but I never sell anything. I keep it all.

Booooo!

I don't sell any of my stuff either, I'll either trade it for other stuff I don't have.

And if I can't find a particular cd at any online stores I'll DL it and when I get it I delete it.

In fact some of the material I had on vinyl isn't even on cd so if I can a DL of it I'm happy.

Nothing wrong with DL if you do it in moderation and then buy the cd to support the artist!

Have you guys ever heard "Revenant," the bonus track from Ambiguity? If not, it's a must hear:

REVENANT

Not quite the Brainstorm you're used to, huh? Haha. And according to the booklet, that is Andy on the verse vocals.

I prefer Symphorce. They're more straight-forward heavy metal, as far as I can tell.

Symphorce by a mile.

Brainstorm, especially now that i heard a few songs off there upcoming release..

I heard Brainstorm before Symphorce, and I prefer them more.

Some time has passed since this last post and I gotta say I'm still leaning towards Brainstorm. Still like 'em both, but I tend to reach for them moreso than Symphorce. Maybe because B comes before S when I look through my collection.

To me, Brainstorm sounds a little "paint-by-numbers" and that's why I prefer Symphorce.

ALTHOUGH I must say that Symphorce is beginning to sound a bit to similar....or Andy needs to come up with new fresh vocal melodies one. I'm not sure which it is.

I started listening to Brainstorm first and I really like them a lot I own every album and pre ordered the new one. I just ordered all of the Symphorce albums and the ones I have heard so far are pretty good but I havent given them a good listen yet. One thing that does bother me about Brainstorm is that they do tend to get a little repetative and sometimes I cant tell what songs are from what albums.

How did I miss this thread the first time around?Anyway,my pick would be Symphorce
