Have you ever really wanted to listen to Canadian Dragonforce with an amazing female vocalist? If the answer is "yes", then give this a listen. If the answer is "fuck yes", then you can keep right on listening.
I'm a sucker for any song that exposes some aspect of greatness, and this has a lot of great things, but my favourite things are the riffs are catchy and complex and have a great hook and the vocals are outstanding.
Funny coincidence - just a few minutes ago I noticed this band's album in Google Music in the "Playing Near You" section and thought about listening to them, since the album art was obviously some kind of metal. I guess I'll take this post as a sign that I really should.
Obviously I definitely recommend that you do - they're delightful and the lead singer is fantastic.
If they're playing near you, you should check them out (if live shows are a thing you enjoy). No current dates near me, or I would.
The new album is great.
Edit: Some live footage in this video demonstrating their strong metal hair game.
Having purchased the Apex album on release day, I can testify that Dragonforce isn't fit to lick Brittney Hayes' boots and they damn well know it. :)
Brittney fucking Slayes.
Seriously, though, I agree. This band is fantastic. Apex is gorgeous.
Also, more contraltos (alto not being quite the right term) in metal is a good thing.
100% agree. Her voice is so perfect for this music. She actually reminds me of Claudio Sanchez from Coheed & Cambria, except I like her better.
Hmm. I might enjoy this band more than c&c actually.
And now I want to hear Brittney Slayes singing "Sentry the Defiant", "The Hound (of Blood and Rank)", and "A Favor House Atlantic".
Oh man, yes. 100% agreed.
I should post some stuff from Eternal Champion later. You might like it even though they're still kinda rough.
Also, are you into Manilla Road?
Definitely post some of both!
It's been a while since I've listened to any Manilla Road (years and years) but I'll add them to the list. @Deimos also had a bunch of great recommendations; Sonata Arctica, Galneryus, Anthem, a few others.
After Galneryus and Anthem, I was listening to some more Japanese metal last night at his recommendation and there's some pretty great stuff in there.
I wonder if we should encourage themed days in ~music.
