#MetalMonday with some new #PowerMetal from #Hamburg

Crimson Light is a relatively new band and I discovered them earlier this year as support act and now I went to their first headliner show this weekend in a tiny venue (actual my first concert I found through the Fediverse).

The Bloodred Symphony is so far my favourite song by them, great heaviness, orchestration, speed and a really catchy refrain.

#MetalMonday with Wintersun!

The opening still gives me goosebumps. Probably the most beautiful riff I ever ran into. What a world opened to me, when I more or less randomly bought that record.

More #metalmonday.

Here's an interesting one. I remember buying this single at Best Buy back when stores sold lots of CDs. While I am not that big of a fan of the super long (so called "progressive") albums I do love this song.
The CD single included a live 2005 BBC radio recording of "Hallowed Be Thy Name".
