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.

Corvus is a Melodic Metal band from Ukraine. They released their debut album "Raven Rising" in 2012.

http://www.reverbnation.com/royalcorvus
Royal Corvus band was formed in September 2005 and the first band name was Corvus. The name was borrowed from Latin, it translates - the Raven. 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. April 28, 2012 the Corvus band has presented their debut album - Raven Rising. October 24, 2012 Royal Corvus was official support group of SCORPIONS in Kharkov as part of the farewell tour "FINAL STING TOUR" . |

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.

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

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!

Adrián Barilari with the keyboardist Hugo Bistolfi, who also left Rata Blanca in 1994, form Alianza, with many musicians sessions, which were the only members permanently was Barilari and Bistolfi. The duo explore ballads sound with more keyboard presence than Rata Blanca. Alianza did not have much impact in Argentina, but in other Latin American countries.They edited three albums Sueños del Mundo (1994), Alianza (1997), and Huellas (1999). |

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/ |

The Gabriel Construct's debut album, 'Interior City', features ex-Periphery members Travis Orbin on drums and Tom Murphy on bass. It was recorded by Garrett Davis (The Devil Wears Prada) and mixed by Taylor Larson (Periphery, Of Legends, Sky Eats Airplane). The album features a very diverse array of styles, including many influences from extreme metal. |

22.05.2013 - MetalLoad
Their lyrics are highly inspired by Spirituality, Enlightenment, Metaphysics, Transcendence, Science, Sacred Geometry, and much more. Hoping to inspire many, together they experiment with genres ranging from Progressive Metal, Death Metal, Thrash, Jazz, Acoustic, to even a subtle sound of World music. With Syrebris, you will hear occasional soft guitars breaks leading into unforgettable riffs of rage and melodic madness.
"Aetheric Dynamics takes the listener to a place of universal symmetry filled with cosmic content of enlightenment awaiting to consume the firmament of the mind." -Elizabeth Rojas / Metal Load Executive Producer
"An up and coming exceptional Los Angeles Underground, Technical, Youthful, Death Metal band that has not only proven that they are indeed in a class of their own, but has risen to the top of The Los Angeles Underground Scene..." -Jimmy Cabbs/KNAC Radio

Alastor is well-known Polish thrash metal band. They're playing since 1986 and they're real vets of thrash genre in Poland. Their work is truly a high standard piece of thrash. I recommend to check out their latest realeses, "Spaaazm" and "Out of Anger". Here, just listen to this as example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBO4ARC8gMI . To sum up, Alastor is a very important band in Polish metal scene and I am really surprised that they're not even here on MS. |

Because it is a really worth listening band from Poland. They are playing a "mixture of rock and roll and metal", according to their own site. Also there are only a few bands from Poland on Metal Storm. You should just listen to them and then decide. I recommend these few songs: "Plastic Bag", "Crimson Skies", "Last True Cowboy Manifesto" and "A Heart Beat". You can find all of them on YouTube. Enjoy!;d |

Need more decent Indian metal on MS to go along with Demonic Resurrection. 'Among the Dead' EP was distributed (mainly online) in 2005 and 'Consider This' 27-minute full-length was released two years ago, to good reviews. For an idea of how they sound, check the Myspace player of Hungarian band Human Error here on MS and listen to "Concentration Army" - Exhum(IND) is more varied, more DM; more brutal, more tech, more groovy, etc... and with slightly longer songs. Can also be found on http://www.reverbnation.com/exhumationindia

Just heard this band today thought the folks here at metalstorm would like this band, so enjoy!
On May 15, 2003, about 200 copies of the CD Avagoyamugs were seized by customs officers because of the extreme cover artwork and printed lyrics about child pornography and other illegal acts. The three members of the band were each fined $500 under the Customs Act in the Burnie Magistrates Court.
Byard was charged with importing a prohibited import, selling a prohibited import, advertising a prohibited import, and possessing a child abuse product, while Studley and Rice were both charged with importing a prohibited import, selling a prohibited import, and advertising a prohibited import.
The three were convicted on all charges in the Burnie Magistrates Court, with Byard being fined a total of $2500, and Studley and Rice both being fined a total of $1250 each. Avagoyamugs was classified "Exceeding Level 3" by ARIA (the only such CD to date) and the seized CDs were destroyed. |
