The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

Iron Maiden
King Diamond
Savatage
Medieval Steel
Judas Priest

Never been able to choose between Domine or Cirith Ungol..

Helstar (until Nosferatu ^^ !)

followed by After Forever, Blind Guardian, Epica, Savatage, Sinoath, Symphony X, Stone, Toxik, Vicious Rumors, etc... (mostly the early stuff from all of them xD)

A toss up between Manilla Road, Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy or Motorhead.

Yep, just like After Forever (also mentioned in helstar's post). If I'm not mistaken this stuff is very popular in Mexico huh?

My favourite bands :

Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motörhead, Saint Vitus, Pentagram (US), Zeke, Morbid Angel, Death, Napalm Death, Voïvod.

edit : forgot to mention Mercyful Fate

All great bands that have incredible discographies, and that I kept on listening to on a regular base during my 18 years of Metal Worship!

Hell label mates!, imagine a world tour together,metal to the bone for sure....and yea Lama,unfortunatly that kind of bands are what rules supreme over here

Yep, big fan of that genre since early stuff of The Gathering, Lacrimosa, Theatre of Tragedy, Within Temptation and so on... of course they all come from Paradise Lost "Gothic" (the song)

Now (well duh since 8+ years actually) the scene is a little bit "saturated" pretty much like power metal, with most of the bands that can only copy the prime movers and I don't like that ... that video of Indica (I didn't even know the band ... luckily ), is a perfect example of this. Even worse because it's hasn't even guitars in it ! I hope it's a single ballad in the entire album ... if the whole cd is like this.. pffff

This is what the gothic metal should have been evolved http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afcJVceA7dw&fmt18
Best band (sadly only debut cd) along with uneXpect (love their 2006 cd ... but the new one isn't coming out soon since they broke up with End Records !)

ps. Nightwish first two cds (and most of the "Once" album) are great. The others not.

My favourite bands at the moment are

NASTY SAVAGE
SCORPIONS

although the second one is close to being my alltime favourite band.
"Dynamite" alone crushes 100% of all other songs out there, don't try to refute this statement.

Klaus "Animal Magnetism" Meine has got an amazing voice.

But they're special because they have the gayest keyboard player.
