Striker seems like a cool AOR band. I checked out a song or two and enjoyed them but havent gone back.
Victorius are proabably a power metal band that is more fun in person, but from sampling, it's too cheesy for me.
Dark Tranquility just released a new single yesterday that was awesome. I need to listen to them more, but everything I've heard so far from the past I have enjoyed. But it's melodeath, I'm sure a lot here aren't too into it.
Nospun - I need to listen to the album more. I listened to a couple songs and they didn't click, but it's prog and I need to give it more time and more serious listens.
Northtale - I'm not interested. I have one of their albums and never really enjoyed it.
Monuments - Need to listen more, enjoyed what I have heard.
Elegy - haven't sampled at all.
Darkwater - pretty good, have one of their albums that I really enjoy
twilight force - Im not crazy about them, but they are fun cheese power metal. Actually was supposed to see them last night but I wasn't feeling too hot yesterday so I didn't go.
love bites - actually a band I need to put higher on my listening list. I've enjoyed a bunch of the songs I've sampled, but haven't listened to an album,
Soen - saw them at Progpower before, thought they sounded a lot like Tool. Thought they were solid, but I never want back to dig into them and still havent. I should change that.
Disillusion - havent checked them out at all
Damian Wilson - I'm honestly just not that interested in his set.
Fifth angel - havent checked them out at all
