INTENSE - As Our Army Grows (UK Power Metal)

Anybody here familiar with this new power metal band from the U.K.? I got a promotional copy of their new CD, AS OUR ARMY GROWS (Napalm Records) last week but didn't get a chance to listen to it till today. Sounds very impressive thus far, similar to the early Iced Earth works with a bit less of I.E.'s "thrash" sound I'd say... fans of I.E., Maiden, etc. may wanna check these dudes out.

I have this and I think their cd before this was much better!

They have another CD? I never heard of them till this promo arrived in my mailbox last week, that's news to me. What's the name of the previous album?

"Second Sight" was their album from 2004 and "Dark Season" was an EP from 1997.

I recently got Second Sight through lala.com, and it's pretty awesome. Sadly, I got only the booklet and CD, as it was supposedly a digipack.

Someone send me the digipack. Thanks. =)

These guys are pretty cool.....

My band has played a few gigs with them around England and they rule....
For some reason they remind me of Iced Earth and Nevermore....

Many compare them to Iron Maiden!

Yes "Second Sight" was their first full lenght, their EP is quite rare!

Wow, I guess I have some CD hunting to do. Thanks for the tips fellas!

Just found this link on Blabbermouth... Intense's new video for their song "Fear Is Not Enough" has been posted on good ole YouTube, and you can check it out here:

Ooh, wow. This sounds good. I agree with INVADERS, they do sound a bit like a mix of Iced Earth and Nevermore. I should pick up a CD.

I have their DARK SEASON mini cd that i think bought directly from the band back when it came out. Not bad but nothing special.
