Hi John!!! Mmmm i don't think so..... to me the most signifivant similarity is their tragic deaths and trouble lifes, but i donpt see that much. cheers and be well

You have to listen to Wardrum, Horizons End, Dead Congregation, Sacred Outcry, Star.Gate, Doomocracy, Sunburst, the newcomers White Tower, Leatherhead and Stygian Oath. Certainly the veteran Cypriots, Arrayan Path with their singer and founder Nikos Leptos who also sang for Warlord...and the Finn power metallers Graven Sin. The first and only so far album from Crosswind, called Vicious Dominion is also a treat and a must have for fans of european power metal. Prog metallers Until Rain and Psycrence too!. One band that has unfortunately disbanded was Fatal Morgana with their EP In Quiet Us, back in 2010. Also a power/thrash band called Deceptor, with one of the best singers of (not only) the Greek metal scene, John Koutselinis, who later on went on to sing for the 5th album Heathen Machine of Brit power/prog metallers Balance of Power and afterwards formed his own band Biomechanical in UK.

Merry Christmas JC! Nice list man. It would be cool if you would check out DGM. They are a very underrated Progressive power metal band with a fantastic guitarist and vocalist, very solid rhythm section and keyboardist. Almost bluesy vocals at times which is interesting for the genre. They have an interesting history and none of the original band members which the name came from (DGM) are in the band now. I think this latest incarnation though is incredibly good and is the best. That iteration started with the excellent "Frame" album and then followed up with "Momentum". Since then they have released 4 albums, the latest being "Endless" which adopted more prog rock elements, but the guitars are still wailing. They mostly write these really energetic 5 to 6 min long songs. There is an exception to that length being The Secret Part 1 and 2 off the album "The Passage" and they justify the length with interesting variation. Catchy choruses, crazy guitar/keyboard duel solo's. There is so much there to love! Please check them out!

My recommendation is the three bands, which I consider to be the definition of "born in the wrong place and the wrong time". Spitfire and their 1986 album "First attack", Sarissa and their 1987 demo and Deceptor and their 1989 demo. I believe that if these bands were from England or Germany they would have had a remarkable career. As for newer bands, apart from the already recommended Achelous, I would recommend Triumpher and their 2024 album "Spirit invictus" as well as 2 bands from Cyprus, Solitary Sabred and their 2023 album "Temple of the serpent" and Receiver and their 2023 album "Whispers of lore".

Temple of katharsis. Check out. Thanx !!!

Merry Christmas To My Dear Great Friend JC.🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅

Lucifer's Child (from ex-Rotting Christ guitarist) and Macabre Omen are great additions too ;)

Yothiria black metal with ex bassist from Rotting Christ. Solitary sabred epic metal from Cyprus. Triumpher epic metal..

JFC, any bands that aren't geezers?

Luca Turilli's stuff is pretty good

Macabre Omen is a must. Please listen to the song :From son to Father!

It’s kinda funny to see a review of this album nowadays. But I get it and right for bringing it up. To me, it’s one of the most perfectly done metal albums ever. 🤘❤️

Gemini as both of our birthdays are in June, with mine landing on the 13th.

Check deviser,inner wish,speedrush,sacred outcry

Thr best in my book. Like, no contest, hands down...THE best!

THE GREEK BLACK METAL WAS FORMED DURING THE SECOND WAVE OF BLACK METAL ( NORWEGIAN SWEDISH FINNISH AND GERMAN). THERE ARE A LOT OF SONGS WICH WERE INSPIRED BY THE GREEK MYTHOLOGY OR THE ANCIENT GREEK HISTORY. MY FAVOURITE GREEK METAL BAND IS FIREWIND BECAUSE I AM A FAN OF POWER METAL MUSIC. ROTTING CHRIST IS THE BEST BLACK METAL BAND IN SOUTH EUROPE ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA. MY FAVOURITE SONG FROM FIREWIND IS WORLD ON FIRE WHICH IS RELEVANT AT THIS PERIOD.

Awesome that you included Fleshgod Apocalypse, Lacuna Coil, Elvenking and Frozen Crown. I'm surprised to see Graveworm as well.

Love the new intro, merry christmas

Merry Christmas JC & Great video. I've also discovered a growing number of metal bands from Italy in the last couple of years (like you Frozen Crown, Rhapsody of Fire as well as Kalidia, Alterium, Vertebra Atlantis as some others) With Lacuna Coil I liked their last album 'Anima Nera' so looking forward to their next one in February.

You should check both ignominous and terrordrome

I see that you included Elvenking! Great band! And I loved the Christmas tree in the background!

Great video!! Check out the legendary Flames the first greek thrash metal act since 1984. "Summon the dead" and "Prophecy of doom" are very underrated black/thrash gems!

Ja, für mich auch ein besonderes und starkes Album von Testament, hauptsächlich wg. Dave Lombardo am Drum, was so auffällig genial ist und so mega stark zu der Band passt, schade das er nicht bei Ihnen blieb. Auf diesem Album fällt mit die gute Zusammenarbeit der Musiker besonders auf. Obwohl ich die melodischen Solos von Alex Skolnick vermisse (wenn ich mir was wünschen könnte ) ist es wirklich ein Album was mehr Aufmerksamkeit einfach verdient. Wenn gute Musiker ihr Potenzial und Schaffenskraft vereinbaren kommt so was heraus. Starkes Trash/Death Album mit genialen Musikern 🤘💯🤘😎🤘

Check if you want in yr "Trypes - De Xoras Pouthena" to listen to some guitar and bass, and rhythm section - an example (it doesnt allow the direct link)

If you like rock music (i mean more classic rock music ) then I would highly recommend to listen to Aphrodite's Child (Vangelis Papathanasiou, the known modern synth electronic composer/ pioneer known to anyone as "Vangelis", was playing in this band. It is not very well known but they were one of the influences of Pink Floyd...). Then I would recommend also "Trypes" (they have some more "post - punkish" characteristics) they sing only in Greek. It is a f*cving great band. They have unbelievable guitar and bass sections and rhythm (and very good lyrics but they sing in Greek as I said). In Greece they were legendary in the 90's. "Socrates" also is another very good rock band with a great guitar player (one of the best guitar players in Europe ever). There are many more excellent bands (like Xylina Spathia, Diafana Krina, and Pyx Lax etc ) but many sing in Greek and they have a Greek Rock sound -vibe (some sound a little "pop-ish") that may not interest you if you are more in the metal sound, but they worth. If you are on post punk and you like that style check also Fear Condition and Metro Decay (the last one defently, they have put out some diamond albums. There are many more, like Dreamer and the Full Moon, but they are more on new wave post punk "pop" sound with a Greek sound. But they are freaking great ) Also check "Villagers of Ioannina City" they combine Greek folk music with stoner rock/ metal. They have put out some great songs. Their last one album had very positive feedback and is considered one of the best rock / metal albums of that year by many (but personally I prefer their older stuff because of the traditional folk sound) . Ps. From Septic Flesh defently check "Revolution DNA " (for me their best album ) and "Sumerian Daemon" (both are masterpieces. From Rotting Christ defently check "A dead poem", "Sleep of the angels " , "Triarchy of the Lost Lovers" and "Khronos" (all dark masterpieces). Ps 2. No directly related to rock and metal music but if you are more open in your listenings , listen also to Psarantonis and other quility Greek singers from folk to quility pop to "artistic " or "cultural folk" modern Greek music (this is a whole different region and would need a special mention ) and rebetika music. There is so much great Greek modern music to discover and dive one. I would recommend more to search one those ruther to stay too much only on the more rock or metal stuff that one already has heard such kind of music.

Rush is so hated by many members of the KISS Army who think that any other band that's not KISS pales to them. And I say to them...whatever!!

Great video, thank you! Dead Congregation (with two full length's and two EP's) is probably the best band that are coming from Greece.

Go check Kvadrt and also Aseed my dude

I say No

Only this week, I've started to listen to this album, I'm very late to this, but I was listening to Songs From The Woods when it came out and this album always satisfied my Jethro Tull fix so to speak. Now, listening to Stormwatch in Dec 2024: The time is right for me, what a fantastic and very suitable album for these times.

Lol would is my fav by far 😂😂

I wanted to know what Eric Singer did before KISS. Now, from what I heard, I like this whole band. Eric played powerful and was also visually appealing. But Ray Gillen was the star⭐ Great band.

Might be a basic choice but Them Bones is my favorite Alice In Chains song.

Nice! Yeah I've also never been huge on Rooster. Would? is probably always going to be my favourite- just that Layne chorus is so great 👍 🤘

Ace's solo album is my favorite and objectively the best album of the 4.

Badlands needs to be released on Apple music, stop the blacklisting of Badlands

No,...even though it been done before, like Nirvana, like it all had been, she was an extremely rare breed: the Billy Holliday of the 90's!!! I only saw her on TV from time to time, but it was obvious. The world lost a great talent. R.I.P.😔 🤘🌎❤️

Great list. Check Doomocracy and their album "visions and creatures of imagination". They play some short of epic doom metal (not slow, chugging doom) and they are a different flavour from the (great) black/death metal bands of your list

I'll admit I'm uneducated in most of Amy's music but there's no way, shape, or form I'd put her on the musical level of Nirvana. As a matter of fact I can only name one of her songs and Adele is possibly the only other artist she might have paved the way for. Nirvana completely changed the musical landscape. Now, outside of music I can see the point you're making. Personal troubles intertwined with music was a theme with both of the artists and both died in eerily similar fashion. But with that said I'd probably compare her to Janis Joplin.

R.I.P. Amy Winehouse. I was on vacation in the Midwest when I heard that she died. It was in July 2011. I had just entered Chicago and checked into a hotel. First thing I saw on the news on the hotel room's TV was that Amy Winehouse had passed away the previous weekend. I was a fan of her song "Rehab".

Check out Aetherian

I think if Kurt were still alive, he would have really liked her. That’s as much as I can say

Um, no.

Bannerwar is sick

You should listen to Paladine, if you like dungeons and dragons and more specifically Dragonlance this band is for you!

Some other recs for you: The Temple - trad doom with amazing vocals (sounds like bysatine orthodox chants)... if you're into traditional doom metal sound - they are a must listen Agnes Vein - modern doom/black Human Serpent - black metal SAD - black metal

Rotting Christ are great and have lasted through time…It is great to see old bands like Septic Flesh and Rotting Christ still producing great albums.

Acherontas 🔥🔥🔥

I don't see anyone mentioning them in the comments, sorry if I missed something. Dødsferd (black metal) Hail Spirit Noir (experimental black metal) Abyssus (death metal) Mass Infection (death metal) Downwinder (death metal/crust) Check any albums you like but I'd suggest the latest of any of the above. I could add more, especially if you are interested in metal fused with crust punk, grindcore etc. and also depending on whether you can tolerate the words being in Greek and finally if you are also interested in bands not active anymore. But just check those 5 for now, it's more than enough really. Keep it up and cheers from Greece!

I hope Ronnie Radke does not demand you to take the video down.
