Yea I have "Slow Food', I like it alot, it's more in line with the Ballad side of Crystal Ball, no real "heavy" songs on it. I enjoy it as Mark has a great singing voice, up there with Rob Rock in my opinion.

Cool, thanks!
I agree, Mark is a great vocalist. I love the Ballad side of Crystal Ball, so this one will be ordered asap!!!

I have heard many of the plethora of bands you listed, I especially like Wolf. I dont know how they remained undiscovered to me for so long. I only found out about them a couple of summers ago.

Thanks for posting the list though I have some new bands awaiting me to check out.

No problems Stender, Hope you find some good stuff you like. You really can't go wrong with any of them if you like good Melodic Metal..

Wargod I have heard a few of them bands. Espically Twilight with Anders Engberg (Ex Lions Share) on vocals awesome. Love Paragon good German power\thrash

Good to see so many people know some of these great bands

Lots of good bands there.A couple of my favorites are Symphorce and Messiahs Kiss.

Out of all the bands listed I didn't see these guys:

Euro metal is perhaps my favorite genre and I have many and am always looking for more.
