A nice band to check;

RAZOR FIST

These guys are inspired by the eighties metal movement and deliver great speed/thrash metal. Crunchy riffs, a lot of breaks and a good vocalist (with often high screams).... I think fans of Destructor, Intruder, Nuclear Assault etc. will like this one...

Check them at
www.myspace.com/razorfistmetal

For only 5 euro's or 7 dollars you can buy the cd which has a nice booklet and contains 10 songs...

Thanks for the awesome recommendation! Sounds indeed pretty good.

I don't know if you guys know this band, CAULDRON BORN.

If you're into technical US Power Metal this is something for you.

The original version had a bad production but outstanding songs. The re-mastered version sounds very good and the CD contains a WARLORD cover

This CD is available at Stormspell records (limited to 1000 copies)

THE SACRIFICED

---------------------------------------------
STEEL KINGDOM

http://www.myspace.com/steelkingdom

I didnt like THE SACRIFICED so much but STEEL KINGDOM my space site dont loads for me

Listened to Exiled - Blood Sea again today, and I realized once more what a great album it is. So here's the recommendation:

EXILED

US Power / Speed

2007 album "Blood Sea" is a killer album for such an underappreciated and "unknown" band.

--------------------

Other 2007 recommendations you absolutely (!) need to check out: SACRED OATH (Darkness Visible) [Link] and STEEL ASSASSIN (War Of The Eight Saints) [Link]

Two of my favourite albums of 2007!

@Thryce: try the new ASKA, CAULDRON BORN and HELD UNDER too...

Only two weeks and I will be at the Keep it true festival with Helstar, Manilla Road, Titan Force, Jag Panzer, Cage, Crescent Shield, Omen, Attacker, Heathen, Pharaoh, Sentinel Beast, Fueled By Fire,.... I'm looking forward to it!

One hell of a line up (like always on KIT)!!

And thanks for the recommendations man

Also the KIT edition of novembre is worht a visit...

My feedback after MySpace'ing

Really liked ASKA. Exactly the kind of thing I was looking for! And exactly the kiddn of recommendation I wanted from you Will be looking for more material from them.
CAULDRON BORN was a pretty good listen too. Reminded me of early Agent Steel and maybe some Helstar too. BTW is the bassist the same one as in Outworld?
Didn't really care for HELD UNDER, but wasn't really in the mood for it. Maybe some other time.

Ah, just brushing up on my American Heavy Metal. I'm loving Jag Panzer and Omen right now. I'll definitely have to look for some of their stuff sometime. Along with others like Helstar, Cirith Ungol, and Manilla Road. The latter of which I will be seeing (among others) if I go to the Kansas City Power Metal Fest this summer. Just a fifteen minute drive, I don't see why I couldn't go.

Do you mean the festival in Kansas? That's one hell of a bill... I wish I could be there.

Keep us posted about new good US metal bands....

You guys really need to check out HMP (<--listen to The Horseman). They're an awesome new thrash metal band who are now touring with Joey Belladonna of Anthrax. In a MySpace bulletin, they even said they were jamming with him. If HMP gets Joey as a vocalist, they will fucking dominate.

Edit - damn, it seems that they have put different songs on their MySpace page, which don't seem to be as good as the other ones from their debut. The recording on some songs are a bit rough, but still enjoyable. They're so good live...

Yeah, I believe it's here in Missouri. It says so on their myspace and here, so MO it is. I'm really looking forward to Manilla Road and Cage. I also know that Phantom-X has ex-members of Omen and there's also quite a few good contemporary bands that I've only just heard samples from. I'll have to check them out more in depth. It's been split into a two day fest, so I'm hoping they'll get a few more acts on the bill. Should be good. Hopefully they will fix that 21+ damnit! I e-mailed them.

On another note, I just discovered Stygian Shore. Another old school US Metal band from Wichita, Kansas just like Manilla Road, and get this: Mark Shelton produced their debut 1984 EP, and it's fucking killer! There are (lo-fi) samples at vibrations of doom for anyone interested.

haven't been here in a while but welcome to the club C.J.W. Wyatt.

My life is over. I e-mailed the KCPMF staff and it looks like the fest at the Riot Room will be 21+ only. What a great way to spread Metal.

Why would a cklub have a 21+ show?

I have no idea. All the over venues I've been to have had bars so that can't be it. I'm not sure. It seems very odd considering it's a FEST and the idea is to celebrate and spread Metal. I was really disappointed.

Can't you sneak in? Or will they be checking IDs?

Ha, well they've checked IDs where I go, usually so they can put an X on your hand so you can't buy alcohol. I don't see what they big deal is. I'd sure like to go, I know that.

Aha the infamous X on the hand, thus making you a straight edger :-)

I don't even drink, but I don't think that would persuade them to let me in. Gee, what a good way to spread Metal...

Have any of you guys heard of the band Eternal legacy out of sleveland ohio? they really have a sound of their own and combine a bunch of different genres of metal
