hello people! Would you check out our band Cretura? We're a band from Bergen, Norway, and we play this melodic metal with both female vocals and growling, aswell as we have fast / beautiful solos, and also nice melodies, even acoustic parts. We just got our songs from the studio, and we'd be happy if you used a couple of minutes to check us out and tell us what you think! \m/
Everything about this album is perfect, just everything. The sound can´t be compared to anything else since this is just way better than all the rest, not even Kiuas can beat this ever again. Freaking love everything about this album.
I just gotta say, to anybody who likes Kiuas but doubts American power metal, listen to Dark Empire, Humanity Dethroned. That band deserves its place beside Kiuas in your collection any day.
im from Finland so that may be the reason but i listen mostly Finnish metal bands like Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Kiuas, Korpiklaani, Twilightning, Altaria, Dreamtale, Turisas and other that i cant remember right now, but all i listed are from finland \,,/
These guys rule. I am an American, but I agree. For the most part, American music/metal sucks bad. I got so fed up with it I decided to go to Finland for better music, because it seems to be a metal factory over there! Sure we have a few good bands here, but Finland never ceases to amaze me. I think I like Finnish metal over any other metal in the world!
your'e right. while our country is so focused on shitty music (yes, I'm talking about artists like Lil Wayne and Eminem), other countries, especially Norway, Poland, Finland, and more, are making killer metal songs. sure we have a few good bands, like Lamb of God, God Forbid, Dragonlord, etc, other countries are surpassing us
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think Symphony X, ALONE disproves people that think american metal sucks.
I mean, i've heard finish metal that sucks. I've heard finish metal that's amazing, i've heard American metal that blows(Metallica) but i've heard amazing american metal.
Nationality has nothing to deal with it, yeah there tend to be a higher frequency of awesome metal bands that come out of Scandinavia and Germany, but that doesn't mean awesome metal can't come out of anywhere else.
Germany? Has couple of famous industrial metal bands, and can you call that metal? It's disco music. What first comes to my mind, Finland/US/Sweden has the greatest bands. From US, Lamb of God for example. There are many, like Symphony X and so on... Sweden, Opeth and... well.. Opeth :D
Industrial... Disco music?! how dare you?! lool i eman, Fear Factory and Strapping Young Lad arent exactly "Rave Music" are they? sheesh man industrial pwns! death metal is the best though, and black metal, isnt my total fav but i still like it. Industrial music are disco.... Sheesh man its not like you hear any of that shit at a club or anything
And btw, real powermetal influences comes from the Great Britain from such bands as Rainbow. Those bands gave a few German bands the vision to create something like powermetal, so it's not far from the 80's Heavy Metal, just named differentely.
Nah bro, there are plenty of good Canadian/American bands. You just have to look in the right places for em. European countries definately have a lot more, but North America has plenty
@eman3624 Im not one to judge metal from the place it comes from, or certain regions, but I do agreew ith you, some of the best metal does come from europe, but there is also some good stuff in America, such as Iced Earth, and many otheres. You just gotta look hard.
@eman3624 I found a decent American band.. Just one lol. If you like death/doom bands, look up Novembers Doom if you haven't already. My favorite song by them is probably Of Age And Origin- Part I: A Violent Day.
@SPARKEDinsanity Novembers Doom kicks huge amounts of ass, they are great guys as well! The funny thing? The one show Kiuas has played in the US was at a fest where Novembers Doom was also playing!!
Whoa whoa whoa between the buried and me? TRIVIUM?! guys guys here are some american bands to be proud of
1.Outworld
2. Manowar
3. Cellador
4.Y&T
5. Dio
6. W.A.S.P
7.Nile
8.Testament
Theres alot of good shit that isnt that popular or recognized mainly because of the "metal-core" and "scene-metal" overload that is in north america right now you just got to know where to look
Don't but BTBAM out in any way shape or form. They're quite possibly the most technically solid american band (every member is great at their instrument) aside from Dream Theater and Symphony X. They are fantastic musicians and AMAZING songwriters. They're vocal just happen to.... uhhh, not quite please most ears, but on you list you have Manowar, Nile, and Testament. Not universal voices either. Other than that, I agree with your post all they way. Esepecially Outworld! Rusty Cooley all the way
Cynic, Atheist, Metallica, Megadeth, Iced Earth, Pantera, Fear Factory, The Sword, Arsis, Psycroptic. Fuck, America churns out great metal on a regular basis and always has.
Trivium's first two albums were excellencies of comosition and skill. The skill is still there today, but they can't write songs for shit, and I don't like Matt's voice any more.
the only good american band is metallica,but i must say tht finland does have very gud metal bands. nd kiuas came to my country!!!!!!!!! they rocked the place.
yerr... if you listen to folk metal then the use of accordians/violins etc is rather common
when i saw Turisas the other month theyre violinist gets up on stage, shouts "fuck the guitar solo" and does the amazin violin solo. It was sooo good lol
Reminding you that Kiuas if indeed, Finnish. Swedes, truly gay. ;D (dont take it too seriously, its just some kind of an ancient tradition to call swedes gay, stupid etc. most likely cuz they used to rule us.)
Indeed Symphony X are esquisit, but most metal bands from America are shit, cos most of them are metalcore and that's so shallow and gay, whilst with Kiuas every detail goes deeper and deeper :D
I say nay. MetalCORE is terrible. And Hardcore. Pretty much anything with "core" in the title is stupid scene kid bullshit; THAT is where America screws up in the "metal" department, if you were to filthen up the glorious name of metal by calling it that
@joethecrab How is american metal terrible. There are great american bands: Slayer, Omen, Manilla Road, Sanctuary, Liege Lord, Iced Earth, Megadeth, Overkill, Testament, Brocas Helm, Anthrax, Exhumed, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Kamelot, Obituary, Deicide, DIO, Heaven and Hell, Vio-Lence, Cirith Ungol, Pentagram, Savatage, Death, Possessed, Exodus, White Wizzard, Ghoul, Toxic Holocaust, Autopsy, Municipal Waste, Slough Feg, Riot, Warbringer. . .
@quillwielder It doesn't suck. You just can't compare American Metal to European metal because this is so much better than what Americans can dish out. :)
@jaridb86 Personally, I think America can compare. considering that we innovated and pioneered 2 forms of widely acclaimed metal genres and counting. Also have a plethora of over looked bands that are very good in quality, however both sides, I think are equal

The US and Germany BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY started thrash metal.
The US started all the famous mainstream shit but Germany started all the good stuff in thrash metal.
Helloween and Blind Guardian, two of the most influential power metal bands EVER both started with the intent of being THRASH metal
Listen to Lucifer's Heritage's(Blind Guardian's original name) version of Battalions Of Fear or Helloween's debut album Walls Of Jericho.
Yeah these albums aren't very brutal but they are still thrash

That's exactly why it isn't a real genre, it'd be an oxymoron.
