pretty damn good Norwegian metal...and for once it's not black metal! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ...I suspect only Bill may have heard of them, anyway to the point: their latest album called "No Holds Barred" has some rather creative songwriting IMO the stuff feels fresh yet honors the 80's and 90's melodic metal. They have 3 guitarists and they all play Jacksons...there is a video for "The Sentence" where the guitars shine in all their glory!
Here's their webpage so go check em out! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Griffin

[img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Sorry about that man!!! I just remember your Firewind topic that turned me onto Firewind, and then shortly after, you posted a Griffin topic so naturally I wanted to check them out too! That's how I remember Griffin. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Or maybe you thought the band was so good that you had to recommend them again. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
