Pyramaze - Melancholy Beast

[Emikropz]

What country?

[zachariahmcguire]

Their singer sounds like one of Dreamtheaters old singers

[faselblaDer3te]

If I ever get my hands on this album, I will buy it in an instant.

Love the cover artwork btw, there aren't by chance any t-shirts with this on front, are there? I couldn't find any Pyramaze merchandise (except for stuff with the "Immortal" cover)...

Awesome band, I hope they come to Germany some time!!!

[TheGeneralBurn]

reminds me of Drizzt Do'Urden from the books

[TheSonsofHorusx]

there is not possible way to get enough pyramaze. its just impossible.

[TheGeneralBurn]

It's been three years. I demand a new album to carry on the awesomeness of Pyramaze

[mrpbr10]

At 29,592 veiws and to have 91 likes and zero dislikes is just something I have yet to witness on youtube.

Pyramaze is just THAT fuckin good. 

[RhewBleiddiad]

The keyboards solo is great

[Jakster840]

Pyramaze isn't a band that you can seriously headbang to. Their one of the few bands that you go ":O did... did.... men just male this? I didn't think that something so incredible, beautiful, magnificent could be created."

[MrGara23]

one of the best albums ever.....

[Raulizidorojack]

this cover is amazing!

[Thatmetaldude590]

@Raulizidorojack Who's done the original?

[guildwars69x]

@Thatmetaldude590 This is an original.

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

[Thatmetaldude590]

@guildwars69x Ok. But it wouldn't suprise me if some bands have tributed Pyramaze.

[ktgdk]

@Thatmetaldude590 I think he is talking about the cover art ... and I must agree with him! ;)

[Thatmetaldude590]

@ktgdk Oh, of course. Didn't even think about that. And the cover's, yes, amazing!

[TheDemonicLycanus]

hey could someone tell me which one its their latest album?

[sneasalmaster]

The thing on the cover looks like Oblivion's Flame Atronachs.

[XxKUCINEKxX]

metal is good and end

[StryperandJesus]

Love Pyramaze and Lance King is a beast of a Singer (no pun intended)

[mibsteve]

Denmark probably hasn't got as many metal bands as countries like Sweden, Germany or the USA, but almost every band that hails from Denmark is a good one (Pyramaze, Wuthering Heights, Iron Fire, Section A, 7 Thorns, etc.)!!! (No, I'm not from Denmark, but I just noticed that... ;-))

[moviemaker3000]

Nice solo.

But I think the "Bone Carver" album is better.

[mash6661984]

its a standard metal formular vocalist leaves and is replaced by someone good in their own right but not suitable for the job ozzy/dio with sabbath dickinson/bayley maiden halford/ripper priest kirsk/deris helloween the list is endless

[MrTotallyRad]

Except Dio was awesome in Sabbath...

[Raxisabominae]

@mash6661984 ah but the thing is a band needs a good vocalist to keep going. They can't just suddenly become instrumental

[HeadingNorthe]

The solo fucks me to other dimensions...rageeeee all tha way my friends!!!!!!!

[PishkinTheGreat]

Matt's vocals dont suite pyramaze at all...he was about the worst choice for a vocalist. i don't care how much you like iced earth, matts vocals can't hold a candle to lance's, not in pyramaze at least. thank the metal gods he went back to iced earth where he belongs. hopefully the next vocalist suites the band a little better.

[Metallicedearth]

Matt's vocal might not fit for this band, you're right about that, but he is the shiz-nits in Iced Earth.

[MrTotallyRad]

Agreed. His voice is too aggressive and too raw for this band's sound. But as Metallicedearth said, he's great in Iced Earth.

[dwellceller]

@PishkinTheGreat Totally agree - Lance's vocals suited Pyramaze much better than Matt's. didn't get into Immortal much where as the 1st 2 cds were awesome! Hope the new vocalist suits better than Matt Barlow.

[Slamic1162007]

yea true i think too matts voice fits much more to these songs ..

[showmethegoodmusic]

one of the best cover illustrations i have seen, rob alexandra is simply incredible, good music too

[rynoandliam]

4:45 hell yeah

[Metaldwarf04]

great song from a great band

[themoonstar7420]

this has to be the best keyboard solo ever, it is SO FUCKING SICK

but this album was prolly this band's best album keyboard wise, bone carver was better guitar wise though

and immortal wasn't nearly as good as either of their other albums

[LaughingMage]

this is one of the most epic songs ever

now excuse me while i orgasm, as the solo just came on.

[Geshien]

Lol.

Dats nasty.

[eggrollman24]

hahahhahhahhahahhahhahhahhahaa­ nice hhahahahha

[Torlof108]

@LaughingMage lol....you should hear Blind Guardian- The Maiden And The Minstrel Knight then ~.^

[Guyverhoeven]

O.O i think inmortal is one of the best albums in the world.

they are pretty different then the other two cause of matt barlow.

a good thing cause of him Pyramaze is alot more known now. i want the old singer back tough.

[racerspeederx]

i like lance king heaps, he's in avian now. just like this music really.. Matt is awesome too but the best with iced earth as everyone says

[Raxisabominae]

It's due to Immortal I love Pyramaze. Though i consider it more an Iced Earth album.

Lance IS Pyramaze

Matt IS Iced Earth

One at least is where he should be

[Guyverhoeven]

Matt was great with Pyramaze and i know them cause of matt but damm i miss Lance his voice is just in one word

GOOSEBUMPING! (if thats a actuall word haha)

[Raxisabominae]

As I said Matt is back where he needs to be. Now we need Lance back in Pyramaze.

[aalainhulsbosch]

matt issent iced earth jon is iced earth xD

[Raxisabominae]

Not when you're talking about vocalists

[aalainhulsbosch]

then matt still issent iced earth iced earth can move on whitout matt and you now it ... but matts voice is fucking insain

and its grait in iced earth but he issent iced earth xD

[Raxisabominae]

Actually no they can't. Look at Iced Earth's history, A glorious burden and Framing armageddon were the two lowest selling Iced Earth albums after their debut. Why? Because Barlow wasn't there. If Barlow wasn't the right vocalist for Iced Earth then Schaffer would not have brought him back. Therefore Matt IS Iced Earth when you are talking about vocalists.

[aalainhulsbosch]

a glorious burder and framing armageddon just arent great records just like crucible of men that isent a great record to ... its not becaus of the vocelist dude .. the music isent that good anymore look at night of the stormraider or iced earth 2 diffrent singers still great records its not because of tim owens that the music sucks or because of matt that the music becomes better its jon how writes everything

[Raxisabominae]

Actualyl Crucible of man is a fantastic album. You've got to bear in mind that Jon was the one who stated 'The only vocalist that works for Iced Earth is Matt, he is the only singer who understands what Iced Earth is.' Taking from that. Matt IS Iced Earth. Also the re records of Iced Earth and Night of The Stormrider, on Days of Purgatory, are much better.

[Raxisabominae]

8 months later i realise i meant to say 'the rerecords of X and Y ON Days of purgatory'

[Raxisabominae]

Oh yeah. And Crucible of Man also outsold all previous albums EXCEPT The Dark Saga.

[Smokeyleaf]

You know why that is, right?

[Smokeyleaf]

Jon writes MOST of it. Matt and Ripper both contributed.

Also, just some food for thought: When Ripper filled in for Halford as Judas Priest's lead man, Priest didn't do so hot, either.

[Raxisabominae]

Dejugulator wasn't too bad an album. I love The Ripper's voice, but it wasn't quite right for Iced earth, that's not to say they didn't still sound like awesome albums. But the reason with priest, I mean, it'[s Halford... possibly one of the most respected singers in metal... despite loving Barlow, it's actually easier to replace him in a band than it is Halford, because everyone knows halford

[Smokeyleaf]

Actually, I'd think the opposite. Ripper and Halford sound alike. Barlow and Ripper, on the other hand, have little in common, vocally speaking.

I'm not saying that Ripper's not a great vocalist in his own right, but on both occasions he tried to fill in for two giants of metal. IMO, the shoes were too big for him.

[Raxisabominae]

I agree that halford and ripper are similar. But what I am saying is Barlow isn't as big a giant as Halford, I mean Halford has been going... well i think Priest are the longest runnning metal band... maybe motorhead... Point is Halford IS the metal god... as much as Barlow is my top vocalist, and I mean top... even he couldn't fill halfords shoes... Ripper did a good job with Iced Earth, but he wasn't right for the band... the needed the uniqueness of Barlow back

[Ic3d34rth]

and hopefully urban is pyramaze!

[Raxisabominae]

Urban is most definately Bloodbound

[Ic3d34rth]

and tad morose, but yes, i do love his work with bloodbound.

[Raxisabominae]

I actually think his best work is with bloodbound. But pyramaze has a 'magical' sound, that I've only ever heard achieved by one singer. Lance

[Raxisabominae]

I'd expected that

[Smokeyleaf]

I dunno. I like how Lance sounds. However, I believe that's Matt's voice fits better with the music. I can imagine Matt's voice on the first two albums, and it sounds better to me.

Bear in mind that I'm an Iced Earth/ Matt Barlow fanboy, so I'm biased. :P

[Raxisabominae]

Um you do realise that I am also a matt barlow fan. in fact he's pretty much my vocal inspiration for my band, and that I own all Iced Earth albums, since they are my favourite band, and I even have his work with other bands :D But the point I'm making is these songs need a magical voice, not a haunting one. Barlow has quite a haunting voice, it just would not be the same, especially with such keyboards.

[Smokeyleaf]

Hmm, different strokes, I guess.

[Raxisabominae]

And Priest were oging downhill before Halford left lol Though I do love the Nostradamus album

[Peanutblood]

So true, their first 2 albums sound magical, must be Lance

[wowthatsheavyshit]

@themoonstar7420 i agree, but i think immortal is great album too,year of the phoenix,ghost light and legacy in a rhyme are awesome!!However it made me sad that lance had to leave, he was perfect for pyramaze

[StryperandJesus]

@themoonstar7420 idk have you heard the bone carver? pretty sick

[themoonstar7420]

@StryperandJesus

if you're talking about the album or song yes. souls in pain is another good song on that album

[christophear]

isn't mat barlow from iced earth suppousedly sang in this band?

[Geshien]

Apparently he was a temp lead vocalist. He went back to Iced Earth after the 2008 album, "Immortal."

The current vocalist is Urban Breed.

[Broshmosh]

In the album Immortal, yes.

[Qodaet]

@christophear He only recorded one album as Pyramaze's singer, "Immortal".

[LaughingMage]

most epic song ever

[stgabriel90]

very good. definately need to get their stuff soon

[guildwars69x]

Possibly the best progressive band I've ever heard, second only to Dream Theater.

[r0gueshadovv]

nice name guild wars =D

[XxMan0warxX]

O_O

[stfu2193]

great song
