The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

Hello guys,

Can you mension / recommend some HEAVY - SPEED - POWER METAL BANDS from period between 77 to 88. Also some underrated bands, because the most well known i already know... the objective here is to know more bands i don´t know already...
Bands in the TRUE HM SPIRIT!

Thanks guys..

Hmm. It might help if you specify which exact regions/scenes you aren't as knowledgeable about so that way people who reply can specifically tell you some more insightful recommendations.

Wow.. That's a broad spectrum if I ever saw one. Judging from your previous threads/posts and your implied tastes, just on the tip of my mind:

ATTACK (Germany's most underrated)
DEFENDER (Absolutely flawless Euro-power masterpiece)
V/A - Norway Rocks (All-time kültiest Obsüre Power Metal comp evah' - ask ANYONE!)

Abattoir
Airwolf
Akilla
Amulance
Atlain
Blazon Stone (I know they're too "new" but the sound is definitely 80's influenced)
Brainfever
Drakkar
Heathen's Rage
Intrinsic
Iron Cross (USA)
Killer Watt
Leader
Liege Lord
Messiah Force
Not Fragile
Powerlord
Powermad
Purgatory
Rotor
Savage Grace
Trauma
Tyrant's Reign
Witchhammer

Guessing based on the other posts in the thread, I'd say maybe:

Crom (Finland)
Crowley (Japan)
Enforce (Germany; did the demo "In Search of Wisdom")
Harfang
Orialix
Inherent Sin
Insane (Swedish Heavy/Speed/Melodic Metal)
Saber Tiger
Steel Angel (France; probably well known I'd think but I find they're pretty different compared to most French Metal bands, more US Power and German Speed influenced than most bands from France I think)
Tenebres (France)
Tyran' Pace
Victim (the East Germany one)
聖飢魔II (Seikima-II) - While being one of the most mainstream bands in Japan, I think western Metal fans overlook this band.
