Not quite a metal band, but seeing that other hard rock or glam bands are featured, I do not see why these guys shouldn't be here. Great White is one of the better bands from that thoroughly commercial movement of the 80s.

It is a symbol of the wisdom in most ancient religions of the world. Raven is a carrier of souls across the River of Eternity and a binding link between the fragile edge of the World of Shadows and the World of the Living. Initially, the Corvus band was created as a melodic symphonic gothic metal project, but in the process of development and quality growth joins itself the best of the different trends and styles of rock. Now Royal Corvus band has created more than thirty Russian and English-language songs. Song's sound is very different: from romantic ballads to hard and progressive rock. And nobody of the listeners will not remain indifferent, because everyone will find something in this music for themselves. All this different musical styles are merged in one unique style - Corvus style. Besides his own works band plays covers of classic rock and pop songs. During its long history Royal Corvus band many times was engaged in various kinds of rock and bike festivals in Kharkov, and outside it. The Royal Corvus band received invitations and performed in support to rock stars as: Master, Sergey Mavrin, Epidemia, Catharsis, and vocalist of the legendary bands Rainbow and Deep Purple - Joe Lynn Turner.

23.03.2016 - SYCON
We got a full length cd as required. It'd be a great honour to be featured on this site. Here you can find some info:
Short description:
Sycon bears just one thing in mind with their music - Total Havoc!
Brutal guitar riffs, versatile vocals, stomping beats and atmospheric synths defines the music, all while retaining their melodic metal roots.
Groove Factor Guaranteed!
Biography:
Sycon was founded in 2009 at Oranienburg, north of Berlin. 2011 they released their first demo EP "Sniper's Poem". 2012 they moved to Berlin-Köpenick and had a fundamental member change. 2013 the only remaining member guitarist Moe joined with Jay from the Philippines as lead guitarist. They released the single "I'm the One" featuring Aurelia's Turm singer Marcel and Declamatory's drummer Fabi. In the End of the year Jay and Moe joined force with drummer Tobi, who was playing the davul and various percussion at the medieval group Obscuratis. Shorty after bassist Lars joined Sycon. 2014 they released the single "Downer" with female singer Seline. In early 2015 they finally found their permanent frontman Daniel, which worked before with Ill Kommodity and as rapper KoH Kain and is known as streamer KæinPlay. In spring 2015 they released the first single "Bulletstorm" of their debut album and played shows such as the Rocktreff open air festival in Berlin and as support for The Vision Bleak. Their self-tilted first album was released on March 27th 2016.

It started well in 2013 with the debut, but the follow up album is an absolute killer with new vocals are Pathfinder-like background, holy shit.
04.11.2016 - SIX
It's phenomenal and unlikely band, especially on polish metal scene strongly dominated by black/death metal. Titanium explores quite different musical areas - melodic power metal.
The band has released 2 albums until now, both issued with success in Japan by Avalon/Marquee label. The second LP "Atomic number 22" released on 28.09.2016.
The band was started by the guitarist and main composer Karol Mania, known for symphonic metal band Pathfinder as well.
On vocals we can hear Konstantin Naumenko from Ukrainian SUNRISE band.
Here you can watch their official video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAxTbBCIfV0

Innate Concept's musical identity is rooted in the Progressive Metal genre - and the word "progression" is to be taken literally. Innate Concept strives to incorporate elements, instruments and ideas normally not found in classic Progressive Metal. The newest album "Sunset In Our Eyes" combines elements from electronica and classical elements into a whole new and unique sound. A multitude of synthesizers create the atmosphere, color and texture, the mighty Taiko drum ensemble delivers power, groove and impact, while the Armenian Duduk conjures up ethereal melodies, adding yet another layer to the rich-bodied symphonic orchestra. A piano and various acoustic guitars are another integral part of melodic storytelling and quite frequently intertwine with other instruments. All of this takes place planted firmly on the foundation of thundering drums, shredding guitars and a nasty, angry bass. Innate Concept's music is challenging, demanding, cunning, powerful, intense, yet so delicate and fragile. Be prepared, for it will demand your full attention - and it will surprise you if you dare a listen. Debut album can be purchased at http://www.innateconcept.com/shop/ |

Metal has always been about forging new ground and that is exactly what this band is all about. In taking a jazz-like approach in terms of structures and instrumentation and applying it to doom metal, Free Nelson Mandoomjazz has created something truly unique and innovative. Other bands have used the word doomjazz to describe their music, such as the Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation, but what FNM do is far more representative of the merits of each genre. |

Ascraeus celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2013. It's one of the oldest bands in Turkish metal scene, with three albums released as Dare To Live (1994), Red (1997) and Disgust... (1999). Initially, they used to play bay area sound thrash metal, but later on they have progressed towards a different sound by setting standards in the scene with a newer type of metal.
Ascraeus formed out of the ashes of Istanbul / Turkey with Emir Erkal (guitars/programming), Tolga "Zubuk" Yukseloglu (lead vocals), Ahmet "Amor" Akyatan (bass) and Ozgu "Sari" Koyluc (drums) in April 1993. The name Ascraeus is derived from the highest mountain on the planet Mars, which was the name of the outfit that Erkal (who is originally from Istanbul) led in Istanbul before moving to New Jersey. The band hasn't released any albums since Emir left for USA, but strengthened forces with the scene's one of the most acclaimed front men, Ozgur in 2001. The 5-piece band now actively plays at some certain gigs and festivals mostly in Turkey, and is working on a special 20th anniversary comeback album. |

A decent band i found a few days ago, these guys have a really tight sound, comparable to Mutiny Within and Periphery. I would even go as far as to say (and i know A LOT of people including myself hate this band...) that they sound like what Bullet for My Valentine would sound like like, IF bfym had talent and didnt look like donut-punchers

I think these guys needs more exposure on MetalStorm as the debut kicks ass, and they're already gaining quite a following in Germany, Denmark, and the States. |

Really promising band from Hungary, released in 2012 their debut album "Scream From The East", which is really an amazing album, you should give them a listen (and I'm in no ways related to the band, being from Portugal. I've just really enjoyed their album and sound). You may check their youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/niburtamusic/
04.11.2013 - Sentenced Odiin
Wanted to suggest Niburta, but I found out it has already been, so here is my opinion, why should it be on Metalstorm:
Next to Dalriada, which can be considered the most well-known and the main Hungarian folk metal act, Niburta is a promising band in the same league of the genre. They mix traditional Hungarian/Balcanic folk music with modern metalcore/melodic death metal, which they describe as the Balcanic Folk-Metalcore. The band is getting to have more international fans and receiving more attention from every corner of the planet, especially since they debut album has came out (Scream From The East). I would recommend these guys, as their sound is unique, which is rare nowadays sadly. Here is their facebook page, maybe it is more organised as their official site/myspace: https://www.facebook.com/niburta?fref=ts |

EXGUMATION is one of the most recognizable extreme-metal bands of St. Petersburg. The style of the band can be characterized as medium-speed old-school Swedish melodic death that can hardly be found among the latest releases. Formed in 1997, EXGUMATION become one of the pioneers of melodic death metal in Russia (along with "Absurd" and "Seducer's Embrace"). After recording two demos ("Unholy" - 1997 and "The Wandering" - 1998), the band records its first full-scale album "Symbol Of Fear", which was released in MC-format under the Fenka R'n'R label. The material received positive reviews from critics in Russia and abroad, but was not released in CD format and didn't gain wide recognition because of the dull promotion work of the label.
In 2001 EXHUMATION took a break for the reason of disagreements inside the band. At the end of 2008, after going through some lineup changes the band returns to the stage. In 2011 the recording and mastering of the second album "City Of Decay" under the METALLIZM RECORDS label were finished. The album was mixed and mastered by Arcady Navakho at Navakhohut studio. The album was recorded with assistance of guest musicians: Sergey Bredis - vocals (Inexist) and Anton Kravchenko - bass guitar (-t De Sangre).
EXGUMATION shared a stage with such bands as Catamenia (Finland), My Grain (Finland), Final Down (Finland), Korumba (Espana), Degradead (Sweden), etc. At the beginning of 2012 Internet single "Windwalker" was released. Presently, the band is working at the material for a new album again. |

I shall give you several reasons "Why should it be on Metal Storm?". 1)The guys are really good at performing. 2)They have three studio albums (there's also the fourth, but the latest one is kinda weird) 3)and have been around for over twenty years, which means they are one of the prog metal pioneers in Belarus. 4)DF actively participate in various public events, like fests and tv shows, as can be seen on this page http://www.metal-radio.ru/www.despisefool.narod.ru 5)There aren't many bands from Belarus on Metalstorm. Thank you for your attention. |
