A bit unorthodox title, I accept that, discuss about bands like Enforcer, Alpha Tiger, Holy Grail and add any other bands out there.

I like Alpha Tiger as well, they may want to be Helloween, but Helloween isn't Helloween anymore and Michael Kiske wants to do nothing but AOR. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

It's like Trivium wouldn't need to exist if Metallica didn't suck.


Some others along "old metal is now new again" wavelength:


Skull Fist
3 Inches of Blood (although they've been around a few years now)
Powerwolf
Bloodbound
Black Tide (the first album)



Speaking of "whatever happened to", does anyone know if Taking Dawn or Endeverafter still exist? Also Black Tide.]]> snuffball NoticeboardTue, 05 Feb 2013 02:51:12 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,929088,929214#msg-929214 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,929088,929214#msg-929214 Terry K.

Early 2011 - Tom Schleiter (guitarist) leaves band to "focus on songwriting and producing for other artists full time." Schleiter was the co-writer to all the songs on their debut along with Max Perenchio. I think Perenchio, though, is the brainchild behind Bad City.

June 27 2011 - Josh Caddy (vocalist), due to a "very serious personal conflict" with other members of the band. Josh had no writing credits but seemed like a good frontman. Replaced by ex-Powerspace vocalist, Alec Cyganowski. Apparently he's a high pitched screamer - i.e., Freddy Mercury. Pretty animated. Bad City was comprised off all ex-Powerspace members so this looks like a reunion of sorts.

July 18, 2011 - Tour wraps up. The shows June 27-July 18 were completed with Cyganowski on vocals.

October 13, 2011 - Kiss Kruise. http://youtu.be/NTu1PsRyooo

November 4, 2011 - Omaha, NE. Unconfirmed.

December 9, 2011 - Final show in home-town Chicago.

Striker. A thrash act with an old-school vibe. Their debut was solid.
