Well nobody seemed to like the music from LAST WEEK and since I just got home I uploaded a new album that maybe you'll all like a little more. It's a dual album, the Glorious Burden and Gettysburg, by one of the few good American power metal bands called Iced Earth. Check it out here.
Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden and Gettysburg
This album is absolutely incredible, the sheer power of Iced Earth just makes their music an awesome wall of sound to admire. Songs like "Declaration Day" and "Valley Forge" make the album the Glorious Burden just insane and every single song on Gettysburg is way awesome. If you're new to power metal this is an excellent introduction band and if you're not new this is just another awesome band to add to your list.
The guitars are both very heavy and melodic, an awesome combination, and the singer's voice is powerful but clear, difficult to attain. One of my friends jokingly said that it sounded like Power Ranger music (he was, of course, wrong =P). If you couldn't tell by the album name, the music is about American history, primarily the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, but they're still awesome nevertheless. But words can't truly define this music so I'll upload a song by them, Valley Forge. It's an excellent song, one of their best.

If the solo in that song didn't drive you mad with how amazing it was, you don't deserve to call yourself a metal fan! Anyway, check this album out. Hopefully I'll get more of a response this week than I did last week.
