Probably because they are better than most british bands if i am honest

Probably get slated now

Maybe you're just irredeemably mainstream

Slagged off in MY own thread

Metallica....Slayer.....? *raises eyebrow*

Ok A few others less 'popular' ones
The Almighty – Jesus Loves You

Crazyhead – Baby Turpentine

Gaye Bykers On Acid – Git Down

I'm already familiar with Crazyhead & Gaye Bykers. Please tell me that first one isn't God Rock *too scared to click*

oh god no, 'Jesus loves you, but i don't'

Bloody Hammers –The Witching Hour

Orange Goblin – Red Tide Rising

These ones are english

Ah but that presupposes that the listener believes in Jesus. I don't.

i dont think the listerner is the intended target

Hey, I've been meaning to check them out for ages. So glad you posted that. Really like it. It seems familiar though. Either I've heard it before or it sounds like something else.

Ooooo0 I like this one too. They sound European rather than American

Orange Goblin – Rage of Angels

they do to me, but no they are from USA

Orange Goblin – Ale House Braves

A Pale Horse Called Death – As Black As My Heart

Yes, liked them too.

I doubt you'll like it but I recently found this song on youtube. It's by an Israeli metal band called Desert & has Joakim from Sabaton guesting. I think the two voices (and accents) work really well together.

Desert - Lament For Soldier's Glory

With some of these songs i cannot tell if its a mythological tale or real life expsperience, as they are from Isreal they must have seen some trouble in their time, but song sounds of ages before

i liked it though, i missed that bit off

Rise Against – Hero of War

It's about WW2.


Joseph Stalin's Order 227 established the creation of several penal battalions (shtrafbats) which were placed at the most dangerous positions of the front lines. Those battalions consisted of soldiers accused of disciplinary problems and political prisoners from Gulag labor camps. Being drafted to a penal battalion was a de facto death sentence for the 427,910 people convicted to penal units until 1945. Read about Order 227

Many commanding offices misinterpreted Stalin's order not to 'step back' & took to killing soldiers who attempted to retreat.

*All Sabaton's war songs are 20th century, apart from Carolus Rex album 17th/18th century.

Acoustic singer/songwriters aren't really my thing. I got bored half way through. Sorry

a non accoustic one Rise Against – Prayer of the Refugee

I used to love heavy rock/ metal /thrash /grunge and lots of other stuff, i recently heard 'Bullet for my valentine' - tears dont fall..........I couldnt believe how awful it was and how it had over 50 million views on youtube.

what the hell ?
