I... don't think so... last I heard they were a soft/mid Christian rock band
08.01.2011 - Axe Argonian
Absolutely not. They are a rock band not a metal band.
02.04.2011 - Xim
They're Post-grunge and if not even Alter Bridge is allowed here I don't think this band has a chance in hell.

I agree with Xim. Alter Bridge is way more metal than this band could ever hope to be, and it isn't on here. This band is too far on the alt-rock/post-grunge side. Doesn't belong here at all.
Also, out of all the alt-rock/post-grunge bands, they're one of my least favorite. So I'm biased. But still, no.

If there's a home for Def Leppard on MetalStorm then there's absolutely no reason why we shouldnt build one for Night Ranger.
Listen to songs like Lay It On Me and No Time To Lose Ya and you will understand why.
Please help me folks we have a nice new home for Night Ranger to build.
They truly deserve a slot on MetalStorm... +1 from me and maybe one from you as well?
16.07.2011 - Xim
Thing is Def Leppard's first album was undeniably a heavy metal album.
23.12.2018 - seba.rock
this great band can not be missing in Metal Storm
28.01.2019 - Dead In Hell
Def Leppard, whatever one thinks of the music's quality, was technically a metal band at some point (albeit of the hair variety). Night Ranger never really came close to being metal of any variety. If Boston is blacklisted, then Night Ranger doesn't have a spot here either. |

Kandia are a female-fronted rock band from Portugal. They've been doing everything by themselves so they need all the promo and support they can get. They release their single "Reflections" today and it features JP Leppaluoto from Gothic band CHARON!
You should have them here on Metal Storm because they are fresh and have a tremendous sound!
Thanks!
19.01.2010 - FrostWind
Ye they have good sound, however not sure if they are fully metal. In addition, I will still give +1 to it.
14.10.2011 - Darklands
Seen them last night supporting Within Temptation in their show in Lisbon.
They are definitely Gothic Metal.
29.05.2014 - Dark Forever
They're Alternative Metal, something along the lines of modern days Lacuna Coil. |

19.04.2012 - kual21
One of the most fast and rising band stars in all Brazil. Combine a mix of heavy, thrash, doom and progressive that makes each music a joy to hear. One of my favourite bands in the last years. Each member has amazing musical experience and ability... It would be a great addition to the "Metal Storm team".

21.03.2011 - Ag Fox
Just labelling them Progressive is a bit unfair, as it's quite a melodic death metal affair as well at times. The riffs are technical, heavy, but at the same time not just self-indulgent wanking. Check out the whole thing here for free: http://soulcyclemetal.bandcamp.com/

Awesome female-fronted band from Athens, Greece. "Acid" is their first track, and they derive their name from United Nations Substance Identification Number. |

09.01.2015 - DarkSymphony500
Aeternitas is a symphonic gothic metal group, mixing elements of medieval and Latin literature, operatic choirs and soprano vocals. The Myspace is not for the gothic band but for a death metal band with same name which no longer exists. |

Sabke Morde is an independent progressive metal one-man band from Iran. Sabke Morde just released its debut album (Khatabeye Tadfin), and it can be heard on iTunes and Spotify: ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/khatabeye-tadfin/1329427372?app=itunes and https://open.spotify.com/album/3lDmmBoz67YPirwGRwCIIL ). In this debut album, lyrics of 2 songs are written by the band, but lyrics of 4 other songs are Ahmad Shamlou's poems. Shamlou was arguably the most influential poet of modern Iran. The album is kinda experimental and strange, and by using these great Persian poems + good music composition, this gives it a original feeling and a thing to say on human condition. I think this band definitely should be on MS for these reasons. |

A new style of metal to the table. Epic film score metal.
Metal elements combined with epic film score.

*symphonic metal
16.06.2016 - ManiacBlasphemer
Symphonic metal. Plenty of bands made symphonic metal adapted to score music. Nightwish for example. That doesn't mean they deserve a separate genre. |

06.02.2014 - Mrtvozornik
Swedish power metal band Lancer, quite possibly one of the strongest bands to hit the power metal scene in the past twenty years. They launch their self-titled debut album in January 2013. Blending vocal styles reminiscent of Michael Kiske, speed metal guitar work with definite Malmsteen influence, Steve Harris-like bass presence, and strong bolting drums; this is one solid lineup to be taken seriously. Nearly four years in the making, their debut full length album is nothing short of remarkable power metal, and upon first listen I felt like it was some lost 1980's power metal album that could have only been overshadowed by "Keeper of the Seven Keys". Complete with an armed battle ostrich, this band is definitely a band to keep an eye out for in the upcoming years. It's quite eerie to hear all of the similarities in the album to 80's and 90's era Helloween, Iron Maiden and Gamma Ray. It would be quite easy to pull moments of each song and compare them to the definite influencing albums and tracks for any well-versed power metaller. The album is full of such epic and classic tone, but still manages to bring nothing but original and fresh music to a weakened power metal scene. This band could definitely be responsible for a world-wide power metal revitalization come in 2013. Lancer is a must have album for any power metal/heavy metal fan, it's so classic yet fresh, full of hook after hook. This is a strong release, worthy of some serious attention. If I had the ability to see twenty years into the future I can only hope that Lancer will have their own Ed Force One with their battle ostrich painted on it flying around the world to sold out amphitheaters everywhere. The only complaint to be said about the album is there needs to be more music, because I seriously can't get enough. |

BIOGRAPHY:
HUMANART were founded in September 1998 in Santo Tirso (Porto, Portugal). After a year of experimenting and composing the band moved into the studio Rec N' Roll (Oct 1999) to record their first opus "Fossil" (author's edition in MCD format), produced by Luis Barros and released in February 2000.
For the next 4 years, Humanart played several dates for Portugal and shared stage with many national and foreign bands increasing its cohesion and stability, but also leaving their own mark and place in the Portuguese Black Metal scene! In September 2004, with the consolidation of sound and musicians, the band released their second work "Hymn Obscura" (author's edition), again in MCD format, recorded and produced in GraveStudio in Braga, by Pedro Alves and Humanart.
In September of 2005, they became for a period of time a one-man-band (JJ guitarist and one of the Humanart founders who was writing all the new material) at the beginning of 2007 new members where recruited. Along with 2008 came a series of performances on various stages all over the country with the renewed line up. 2008 also saw the celebration of the band's 10th Anniversary and the release of the Special Tape Edition "X Years of Black Crusade" - featuring two original songs and a cover (Carpathian Forest), recorded in the rehearsal studio Pitbull Studio by Praise Unholy Records.
From 2009 to 2012 the band concentrated on more live shows. At the end of 2013 Humanart started the recording process of their new album "Lightbringer" (mixed and produced by André Rodrigues - Full Power Studio) -again an author's edition. The album was officially presented in April 2014 at Hard Club (Porto), Frenopatiko (Vigo) and Side B (Lisbon).
In 2015 the band continued touring and in March 2016 the band released their first official video clip for the song "The Darkest Light".
2017 started with many appearances in festivals and events and at the same time the band started working on their next album.
The new album "(Further) Into The Depths" started to be recorded/mixed in September of 2008 at Hanuman Studio by Bruno Silva and was mastered in Sweden at Necromorbus Studio by Tore Stjerna (Armagedda, Behexen, Funeral Mist, Merrimak, Watain). The Design was made by Gustavo Sazes (Morbid Angel, Arch Enemy, Machine Head) and it was released in April of 2019 by Dark Age Productions and distributed by Ultraje.
For the ones not familiar with their sound Humanart play tradicional Black Metal with inspiration from the 90's merged with an unique interpretation forged and aged in the last two decades of underground.
