I find myself singing an extra harmonic line in the falsetto range every time the chorus comes on. I hear harmonies like that, I naturally want to join in...
Ohh man this was the shit when I was like 12. I remember sittin there mining for adamantium in Runescape and listening to this. It always sounded like he was saying bar of soap inside me haha
I love Power Quest more than every other band because of the meanings behind everything they create. There's an obvious meaning you get the first time you hear it, then there's another one much deeper, and then there's one which spans a whole album which takes hundreds of listens to put together.
THE LONGEST NIGHT! SHATTERED BYYY THE MOOORNING LIGHT! BREAKING THROUGH THE DAAARRKNESS WITH THE POWER OF HOPE INSIIDE ME! This is the first I heard of this song, and it's GLORIOUS! :D
i LOVE THIS SONGGGG .. I masterpiece song .. and the last .. ohhhh god sooo beauty true ... this song playing when my dad died ..... :( that reason come to my heart so much .. great song ....... power never dies..
I understand that the founder of this band was once a member of Dragonforce, but I don't believe that justifies the consistent contradistinction of these two bands. Dragonforce is harder, whereas this band focuses more on an old-time feel.
No shit they never will rise anywhere. Not because of any of what you just said, but because they disbanded, though. Power Quest's discography is a final package ;-)
Well, that pretty much proves I was right then. They were so unsuccessful that they had to disband. I tried to find a torrent of their discography and there wasn't even one in existence. That's how unpopular they were.
wow i cant believe its been 4 years since I posted that comment. I had a serious rap hate thing going on back then. I don't care so much now. I was like 13 or 14 when I listened to this, I kinda find it silly now, still pretty catchy but I'm more into Pink Floyd these days.
I dunno... Power Quest is one of my favorite Power Metal Bands. Maybe, it's because it is less divulgated than Dragonforce... =) Who Knows.. Guitar Hero 5 maybe have TLN on the fingers of Axel Steel.. xD
@KingofHearts67 just to get things clear, i dislike rap too (i only like 2 guys because of the lyrics) but rap is as underrated as screaming in metal songs. it is NOT easy and its a technique you have to learn....you can clearly hear it when someone either can or cant rap. most of thse rap songs are bad and boring and metal still rules (i was in waken, mera luna and i will go on many concerts, in example the BG concert in october ^^) but real rap is not that easy as everyone thinks.
"You're making an argument based off your musically inept opinion" Isnt that the beauty of music taste? its subjective. dont let it get to your head. "what bands do what BG and Helloween do, but better?" well i could use the easy answer and say Dream Theater, SX and Hibria or the even more obvious answer and say every other band that doesnt call themself PM
Not all rap is bad its just that you dont like it. Im not really a fan of it but i can appreciate it. But i agree there is a lot of bad rap especially the main stream crap out today but all is not bad.
They're alright but I don't think they will ever rise beyond the status of "poor man's DragonForce", if you know what I mean. It's a crude version of the DF style, similar basic sound but not as quality of vocals, lyrics, melodies and guitars. It's like they're CoffeeMate and DF is cream. Not trying to be insulting, that's just the overall impression I get from Power Quest after listening to several of their songs. I don't really know what the problem is but they are just missing the mark.
For the record, he likes power metal--he's got Symphony X and Hibria in his favourites (yes, Symphony X is power/prog but they still count). Power Quest is flower metal--don't get me wrong, though, I really like them. They're just very generic. My excuse is that everyone has a favourite generic PM band, so PQ is mine. Also, don't be so quick to assume he listens to rap... Or for that matter, to assume that rap is even bad. Mainstream rap is a pretty bad representation of the genre.
@KingofHearts67 I have to disagree although i dont listen to rap i prefer power metal (sonata arctica, dragon force and even power quest) it still takes skill and practice to do correctly!
Maybe I just haven't listened to their songs enough times for them to sink in. I have listened to a lot of them here on YT though and they never did seem as good as DF songs to me. Do you really think their vocalist is as good as ZP Theart? I find the vocals to be only average. And where are the blistering guitar solos? They don't have a shredder on staff. Without outstanding vocals and blazing guitar solos they have nice melodies and that's all really.
When it comes down solely to what you enjoy, yeah, there's no "wrong". However, you're contradicting yourself by saying that--all you've been saying is that power metal is "bland", implying that it's OBJECTIVELY bad. Saying that "any good" found in the bands I mentioned can be found elsewhere, and "better", isn't an opinion--you're stating a fact. Now, if you knew anything about music, you could say that. But, you don't, so it's tough luck for you, kid.
If you don't like it just don't say anything about it. I don't know why metalheads are so OBSESSIVE over it, like everyone who listens to rap "must die" or w/e, if you don't like something don't listen to it or STFU whining about what other people listen to. I don't like rap myself but when someone tells me they like rap, I just say "okay" or "interesting", people who listen to rap don't give a flying fuck what other think about it any more than metalheads give a flying fuck what rapheads think
Again, you're only denying it because you don't want to believe it's true. SX's rhythms are prog, their melodies and harmonies are PM. And since when does PM HAVE to follow that structure? What's the "good" half and "bad" half? You're making an argument based off your musically inept opinion. Tell me, what bands do what BG and Helloween do, but better? What are the "good" parts of them? Make a musically apt point for once, if only for your own dignity.
Don't deny the possibility of a wrong opinion so quickly, young chap. Your opinion is of lesser value because you know so little about music. Labrie is an okay vocalist but doesn't stand up to anything that Kai or Hansi have ever done. Kai wrote Walls of Jericho--if I need to elaborate then you're a lost cause. Andre from BG essentially plays one long solo--he's almost never just doing a plain riff. Not to say riffs are bad, of course, but it's pretty killer stuff.
don't be so quick to deny the existence of prominent PM influences in SX. No. 110% prog. Like DT their albums change style almost every time. They have variety and usualy dont do the same Chorus Chorus Solo Chorus and really fast drum beat routine. I love the good half of Hibria, despise the other half, and could care less about the other borring ass bands you mentioned. Helloween and BG do nothing for me. Any good found in them can be found elsewhere and better.
Oh NOES YOU INSULTED MY FAV GENRE. didnt we already establish that i hate rap? or are you just going to cover your ears and say: "lalalala he listens to metal and hates power quest this cant be happening!... uh uh. RAP SUCKS!"
wow its quite an achievment being more creative than rap. /sarcasm if anything rap is closley related to power metal more than any other metal genre because they both use the same drum beats for every song.. "Saying power metal is bland is like saying grass isn't green." that doesnt work, sorry, try coming up with an anolgy that makes sense. "music you listen to panzy" look at favorites...
ok how old are you? iv had enough of your cliche retorts. your making your power metal cult look bad. even though everyone else already knows power metal is bad.
and i dont see how your being creative. your the one listening to power metal. nothing but bland music, epcialy this band, the singer has no range and sounds to same every single lyric.
load of shit compared to Iron Maiden but its an ok song its way to soft and the guitar is not very good... the keyboard sounds like something from some really oldschool video game
sounds like corny cheesy. carbon copy pop metal with a christian rock taint to it .. . not impressed .. gave it every chance to prove me wrong .. but to no avail they suck straight up !!!!
I used to love this album when I was 13. Now I'm 28 and I still love it!
the vocal harmonies in this song are fucking fantastic
Thunder Beard Agreed , very Queen-like
I find myself singing an extra harmonic line in the falsetto range every time the chorus comes on. I hear harmonies like that, I naturally want to join in...
Definitely their best album.
+manowarrior81 Magic never dies!
Ohh man this was the shit when I was like 12. I remember sittin there mining for adamantium in Runescape and listening to this. It always sounded like he was saying bar of soap inside me haha
I think Power Metal is awesome, because it's so happy and epic that it fills me with positive energy. It makes me feel happy and invincible.
met this song in 2008, and to this day I can't forget it
I'm still listening
I love Power Quest more than every other band because of the meanings behind everything they create. There's an obvious meaning you get the first time you hear it, then there's another one much deeper, and then there's one which spans a whole album which takes hundreds of listens to put together.
THE LONGEST NIGHT!
SHATTERED BYYY THE MOOORNING LIGHT!
BREAKING THROUGH THE DAAARRKNESS WITH THE
POWER OF HOPE INSIIDE ME!
This is the first I heard of this song, and it's GLORIOUS! :D
...I am a DF fan, but when I discovered Power Quest, it was no going back. They will ALWAYS be my favorite band...
i LOVE THIS SONGGGG .. I masterpiece song .. and the last .. ohhhh god sooo beauty true ... this song playing when my dad died ..... :( that reason come to my heart so much .. great song ....... power never dies..
I understand that the founder of this band was once a member of Dragonforce, but I don't believe that justifies the consistent contradistinction of these two bands.
Dragonforce is harder, whereas this band focuses more on an old-time feel.
Rap is good, Power Quest is good, it's all good baby!
Masterpiece, through and through.
Thank you. It is nice of you to notice. You are a very pleasant appearing weeble.
Best song
YES.
Imagine all of the sound cuts off and the lights turn off then you just hear this intro start up.
That's amazing. I want people to think of a song such as this when I pass...
This band owns. Very cool songs.
GREAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like how this song starts
Well, To have this much power, one must play all the games in the world with Magic involved!
If you don't like it, don't listen to it, and don't say shit about it. This happens to be one of my favorite bands.
@Guardiandestiny HAIL my friend!! De neuvo nos encontramos, una de mis bandas favoritas..lo fue!!
Heard this song years ago. Still a great one. And I really looove those ending vocals and the melody. So glorious and inspiring.
It's the Japanese bonus track. Those buying Magic Never Dies in Japan will get this track, like E.P.M. on Dragonforce's Ultra Beatdown.
Super! Hi from Russia!
how have i not heard of this one before?
Great one like 643
why is this song not more popular? :(
One of their best songs...
:D
I don't think so
No shit they never will rise anywhere. Not because of any of what you just said, but because they disbanded, though. Power Quest's discography is a final package ;-)
Raphmovies they're Back together now
the part from 25 to38 is the best part of the song
wow I love this song
: )
Превосходно!
this song+elder scrolls= all the win
Power Metal Supremacy!!!!
this is arguably the best power quest song. i wish they would release this song in north america. does anybody know where i can download it?
From 4:00 onward is pure power metal magic \m/
I think all those "Cheap" (50 cent) Fans... Will break with the sound of nothing and rock on some insane POWER METAL!
my favorate album of thiers, even though master of illusion holds up pretty well
you're so smart.
I wish they would play this to interrupt a 50 Cent concert.
Was this a bonus track? My copy doesn't have this song. Very obvious this was made around the same time as the rest of the album.
Yup japanese bonus track. Wonder why, it's so catchy
lol, funny stuff :P Thanks man.
Well, that pretty much proves I was right then. They were so unsuccessful that they had to disband. I tried to find a torrent of their discography and there wasn't even one in existence. That's how unpopular they were.
Oh... *3 years ago*
Sorry, buddy. :P
Is there a final boss?
wow i cant believe its been 4 years since I posted that comment. I had a serious rap hate thing going on back then. I don't care so much now. I was like 13 or 14 when I listened to this, I kinda find it silly now, still pretty catchy but I'm more into Pink Floyd these days.
I dunno... Power Quest is one of my favorite Power Metal Bands. Maybe, it's because it is less divulgated than Dragonforce... =)
Who Knows.. Guitar Hero 5 maybe have TLN on the fingers of Axel Steel.. xD
Not in modern rap at least. People really overlook older artists with some great poetry.
Let's do it!! lol :)
You can download the music of the video with MassTube.
@Sazalamel1 Respect for a long comment like that. (:
icefrog buffs nightstalker
I dedicate this song to my future wife :D
Listen to Cise Starr.
@KingofHearts67 just to get things clear, i dislike rap too (i only like 2 guys because of the lyrics) but rap is as underrated as screaming in metal songs. it is NOT easy and its a technique you have to learn....you can clearly hear it when someone either can or cant rap. most of thse rap songs are bad and boring and metal still rules (i was in waken, mera luna and i will go on many concerts, in example the BG concert in october ^^) but real rap is not that easy as everyone thinks.
i think its time for you to admit that you set yourself up on that one.
"You're making an argument based off your musically inept opinion"
Isnt that the beauty of music taste? its subjective. dont let it get to your head.
"what bands do what BG and Helloween do, but better?"
well i could use the easy answer and say Dream Theater, SX and Hibria or the even more obvious answer and say every other band that doesnt call themself PM
Not all rap is bad its just that you dont like it. Im not really a fan of it but i can appreciate it. But i agree there is a lot of bad rap especially the main stream crap out today but all is not bad.
Oh, so I take it you hear alot of em, eh?
This song is spectacular. I love this song more than you. :D
Crazy much? Your psychic abilities detected that I'm a
Malmsteen fan huh? I never listen to Malmsteen.
They're alright but I don't think they will ever rise beyond the status of "poor man's DragonForce", if you know what I mean.

Not trying to be insulting, that's just the overall impression I get from Power Quest after listening to several of their songs. I don't really know what the problem is but they are just missing the mark.
They have more magical, fantasy-ish style that DF would never dream to have ...
They are far better than DF... So far...
2022
do you think these guys play rpgs?
For the record, he likes power metal--he's got Symphony X and Hibria in his favourites (yes, Symphony X is power/prog but they still count).

@KingofHearts67 I have to disagree although i dont listen to rap i prefer power metal (sonata arctica, dragon force and even power quest) it still takes skill and practice to do correctly!
YEAH! this makes me want to ride on my dragon and go to NEVERLAND! EPIC HAHAHAHA!
lol, you haven`t heard brazillian funk... US rap is like beethoven for us here.
Yes, it is... xD
Maybe I just haven't listened to their songs enough times for them to sink in. I have listened to a lot of them here on YT though and they never did seem as good as DF songs to me.

Opinions cant be wrong or right, theyre subjective. Your arguement is foiled.
Russel Allen > Labrie (old and new) and everyone else.
no *blabbles on* So yeah rap does suck but they can listen to whatever they want.
Eh, I don't like rap, but that doesn't mean other people can't.
@StuntBiker14 and rap isn't? please don't make me laugh.
If you don't like it just don't say anything about it. I don't know why metalheads are so OBSESSIVE over it, like everyone who listens to rap "must die" or w/e, if you don't like something don't listen to it or STFU whining about what other people listen to.

vid2mp3 (dot) com works great
Did you hear that?
'don't listen to the devil's song'
missed it? well then go to 1:10 and wait.
This must be why I don't like radio music.
I posted over 2 months ago. nuff said.
You responses are as cliche as the music you listen to.
im not creative?
and your the one posting "your mom" jokes and reversing retorts.
Don't deny the possibility of a wrong opinion so quickly, young chap. Your opinion is of lesser value because you know so little about music.
Labrie is an okay vocalist but doesn't stand up to anything that Kai or Hansi have ever done. Kai wrote Walls of Jericho--if I need to elaborate then you're a lost cause.

so do "your mom" jokes.
but they are only popular in the infant community.
Oh NOES YOU INSULTED MY FAV GENRE.

"music you listen to panzy"
look at favorites...
ok how old are you? iv had enough of your cliche retorts. your making your power metal cult look bad. even though everyone else already knows power metal is bad.
Is this song about FNAF?
Hawl and Sera The Shapeshifting Cyber Spider Tigress this song was released 2005 so obviously no.
and i dont see how your being creative.
your the one listening to power metal. nothing but bland music, epcialy this band, the singer has no range and sounds to same every single lyric.
The only thing I don't like about this band is the cheesy-ass keyboard.
load of shit compared to Iron Maiden but its an ok song its way to soft and the guitar is not very good... the keyboard sounds like something from some really oldschool video game
because it sucks
sounds like corny cheesy. carbon copy pop metal with a christian rock taint to it .. . not impressed .. gave it every chance to prove me wrong .. but to no avail they suck straight up !!!!
it truely is the longest night [DE]
