I thought we discussed these guys before, but there's no thread. So here's one for their upcoming album. Anyone that digs Sensory Records-styled prog-metal and Sonata Arctica, check this band out. Words Untold & Dreams Unlived was in my top 10 in 2007.

"Velatum", the first video from the Austrian symphonic melodic metal band SERENITY, can be viewed below. The clip was shot in early July with director Robert Geir.

Anyone who is into Kamelot and that sort of thing needs to get onto this band. They put 95% of the Symphonic bands out there to shame. It's just first class stuff, so good I wouldn't even call it cheesy.
Been listening to this album all day. It is fantastic! Just a great collection of killer songs. Easily one of the best albums I've heard all year. There's even death metal vocals! Female vocals, too. Just a bigger album all around.
