Twilightning, Dreamland, Heed/Lost Horizon, Incrave, all have released amazing albums in the past and are now no more. There are many more but it seems such a shame. I also really liked Highland Glory/Saint Daemon but all has gone quiet there too. Bands with huge potential that seem to have called it a day (and I know Jake is in Amaranthe, heikki was/is doing R.O.C.K.) but I would have liked their original bands to have built on what they were doing, which was in the main great.

For me the symphonic power metal bands have saved the genre from going completely south.]]> pure666metal NoticeboardMon, 26 Nov 2012 06:36:02 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920561,920610#msg-920610 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920561,920610#msg-920610 Snake65 NoticeboardMon, 26 Nov 2012 02:11:14 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920561,920608#msg-920608 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920561,920608#msg-920608
