Hi Susumu!!

Well, Kid Rock is sort of a Metal/Rap-crossover band, not MHR but its pretty cool.

HIM is a gothic rock band from Finnland, they had a massive hit in austria and germany with Join me.

Funnily these are the first bands i bought in 7 years who arent melodicrock.

House of Lords has been a melodic band, théir debut was produced by Gene Simmons of KISS and showed up with pretty good and original Melodic rock. Members were Greg Giuffria (known for the badn Guiffria) and James Chrtistian who also had a solo record out. Later albums some songs where written by STH´s Mike Slamer...B(Not bad for just owning the first album.. ;-) )

Brazen Abbott´s one of the best bands in the world!!!!!!!! They got 3 albums out right now, all songs written by mastermind and guitarist Nikolo Kotzev. Its more of a project; the rythm section on all albums are all 2 members of EUROPE (yessir!!!....) and singers are differnt ones on several songs, like Joe Lynn Turner, Glenn Hughes and some others etc..... the music sounds like a mix between Rainbow, Purple and Heavier(old ) EUROPE I can redommend ALL their stuff except for Eye of the storm, cause i dont own it yet.

Hope this helps
