i may be the only 14 year old on this video

[guitarismysword1]

Omen songs have awesome rhythm guitars which are fun to play along with

[TheDapack]

@WishmasterTheDark What....? Anthrax is not weak, listen to their new album. Pantera NEVER sold out. Other than that those bands probably fit your definition.

[WishmasterTheDark]

I don't why people here mention these mallcore bands, which are not connected with Heavy Metal music.

[guitarismysword1]

@WishmasterTheDark what does mallcore mean?

[WishmasterTheDark]

@guitarismysword1

ah, bands like Pantera, Lamb Of God, Bullet For My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold, Anthrax, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Shadows Fall, Metallica, Slayer etc.

[guitarismysword1]

@WishmasterTheDark so basically commercial bands. i dont like their music either (excluding some early stuff). Problem is that most folks falsely think that only commercial bands are good and refuse to give other bands a try :(

[WishmasterTheDark]

@guitarismysword1

bands i just mentioned are not Heavy Metal music at all, like BFM, A7X, LP, LB, and some of them are sellouts like Anthrax, Metallica, Slayer.

Bands that are not Heavy Metal music, but are labeled like thy are, that's called mallcore. And they contain elements of rap/pop/electronic etc, so many non-Heavy Metal people can listen to them.

[EmptyManifestation]

@guitarismysword1 music played at hot topic that has "hardcore" elements usually referring to popular mainstream metal.

[Doomzkizz]

I had it on a cassette 12 years ago, and now I hear this again, awesome...

[a01543z]

and this is why i hate BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE...

[ThePferdemensch]

@a01543z because they are different?

[evermetal2]

@ThePferdemensch 'Cause they suck...

[XMelkorBauglirX]

Power Metal at it's very best! Omen still Rules after all of these years! 

[totalmetalmaniac]

Yesterday i heard a version of die by the blade by savage grace from 1983, battle cry was released 1984. now i wonder which one is the original version? Kenny powell played in both bands this time, right?

[ToxicDeath91]

@totalmetalmaniac its got to be Chris Logue's song. he's the mastermind of Savage Grace, and i wouldn't be surprised if Powell took it after asking. im really curious as well.

[ToxicDeath91]

@totalmetalmaniac P.S. I like this version with J.D. but John Birk is just epic on SG's version! =]

[Jeffreyfbr88]

@totalmetalmaniac I believed Powell quit SG because they didn't like his songs enough for the records.

[saxoneric]

Sounds like 1983 Iron Maiden, good tune

[TheGoldenPS1]

@saxoneric Except the drum style is a bit different.

[chaosziszme]

[VL1302]

[sheppardguitars]

I had never heard of these guys before, they are pretty damn good! Aparently watching Iron Maiden videos on youtube gets you good suggested videos!

[scenekidacide]

great band, too bad all their early albums are currently out of print. hopefully in the near future all of it will be reissued.

[darkworm666]

[Saundful]
