Wildpath - I'm So Excited (Pointer Sisters Cover) (2009)




Genre: Symphonic Power Metal
About: Wildpath has a really successful formula down by now, and the fact that they could turn a crappy pop song into such a... masterpiece, proves it. They originally only had this song posted for one day in July, but i requested they put it back up, and they did. I ripped it with my sound card, it is a bit quiet but as loud as my card allowed. The quality is quite good, especially for Myspace. Enjoy!

Also found this medley/compilation of Non Omnis Moriar, if you're into that type of thing (Right Click, Save)

Wildpath - Non Omnis Moriar (2009) + Bonus Tracks (320kbps)



(If you have a deviant art account, here is the artist's page, so you can watch or favorite or whatever: http://somnyum.deviantart.com/)



Genre: Female Fronted Melodic Symphonic Power Metal
About: After over two months, the world outside of Japan finally gets to hear this glorious album. If you have never heard of this band, please proceed to click the "Wildpath" tag at the bottom and download the other album as well.

If you have, you should have been anxiously awaiting this since it's July 15th release date. That's right, OVER TWO MONTHS AGO, and exclusively on CD in Japan (Yet the band is from France... go figure). It took that long for it to make it onto file sharing sites, leading me to believe the internet has not been invented in Japan yet. I was to the point where I almost paid 50 dollars to import, and even so the import site was out of stock!

Anyway, download this if you are a fan of any of the genres. They've taken their proven unique yet traditional power metal, added an even more beautiful singer, and added some progressive and symphonic elements. They also seem to be using the death-ish screams a bit more, but definitely is not excessive.

My favorite is "Secret's Case". I was fortunate enough to rip that off myspace to keep my sanity over these past two months waiting. "Non Omnis Moriar" and "Sanctuary Part 1" are quite good as well, and if it's at all like the first album, every track will eventually grow on me and i'll be addicted.

According to the website, this "is a concept album that tells the story of a young woman trapped in a strange house full of secrets".

1. Two Broken Candles (Introduction) 01:57
2. Unforgotten 04:45
3. Ballroom Doors (Interlude) 00:55
4. Shadows Dance 03:38

6. Facing Fears (Interlude) 00:32
7. Ghost Memories 04:50

9. Desire part II - Forsaken 04:42
10. Light Heart 03:18
11. Secret's Case 05:41
12. Cemetear (Interlude) 01:15
13. Non Omnis Moriar 04:44

15. Sanctuary part I - The Cathedral 03:28
16. Sanctuary part II - Death 03:18

Soul Takers - Flies in a Jar (2007)

Click here for Cover art- NSFW lol



Genre: Female-Fronted, Melodic Metal, Melodic Rock, Progressive Metal
About: Aka (incorrectly) as Soultakers. This is a really great album and unique vocalist.

"The thrilling and dramatic atmospheres of their first release, where decadent Classical music and heavy metal blended in a thoroughly personal style, are confirmed and developed in this album. 'Flies in a Jar' will drive you into a total experience, alternating evocative and tormenting melodies and Heavy Metal ride intriguing refrains and refined arrangements. " -CD universe

Polynove Pole - Na Semy Vitrah (2009) (Correct id3 tags, 320 kbps mp3)




Genre: Female-Fronted Gothic Doom Death Metal
About: I generally think this genre is overrated and cheesy (barely gothic but labeled as such because of the female singer, and an im-so-angry-at-the-world male growler in the background), but this is awesome. They actually put some feeling in to their music. Not many bands come from Ukraine, and even if many did, this band would likely be the best one. This is their debut album, so give them a try. The album name means "On the Seven Winds".

(I fixed the id3 tags because it was weird characters that converted wrong to the english character set, for example - "Ïîëèíîâå Ïîëå – Íà ñåìè â³òðàõ". How do people not notice that crap in their library and fix it?)

Download pt 2

Alternate - Free download from their Official Site (Enter name and location then click button. Not sure what the bitrate is or if the tags are correct, but this way you show the band your support because they track the number of downloads)

Holyhell - Holyhell (Full Length Album) (2009) + "The Phantom of the Opera" (2007)




Genre: Symphonic Female-Fronted Power Metal
About: I was so excited to see that on June 26, a full length album from them was released that I have been anxiously awaiting since early 2007. Upon first listen, the new stuff is not as good as the EP in 2007 (a few tracks from that are in here). But it is still very solid and the singer is amazing, and I will give it more listens for sure before I pass final judgement.

I threw "The Phantom of the Opera" from the Apocalypse EP in the rar file too, so this is every song they have released so far.

Sarah Brightman - Symphony




Genre: Classical, Female-Fronted, elements of: Symphonic Metal, Gothic Metal
About: This is a cool album I don't know what else to say. If you're into these genres its a must-listen. It actually gives me the same vibe "My Winter Storm" by Tarja Turunen does. Track 4 is a duet with Andrea Bocelli and track 6 features Paul Stanley of the band Kiss. My favorites on here are track 6, 2, 10, and 13, in that order.

Tarja Turunen - My Winter Storm ( Tarja - My Winter Storm )




Genre: Symphonic Metal, Gothic Metal, Female-Fronted
About: Former Singer of Nightwish. She is very operatic, and this is likely the most beautiful album of 2007. But it also has plenty of heavy parts like "My Little Phoenix" and "Ciaran's Well".

Year: 2007
