Ride On Wings Of Dreams And Fly Away...


 


FANTASY POWER METAL... 
no me neither but yes apparently it's a genre and while 
queuing to get in I was thanked by an elf (with plastic pointy ears) 
for joining and helping to overcome the forces of evil...ok...
during the gig itself BLACKWALD the keyboard player 
repeatedly asked us to summon balls of fire which would 
help destroy the orcs & goblins which were amassing 
and then singer ALLYON threw the Sapphire Dragon
(a blow up plastic dragon) into the baying crowd
 which we obviously had to kill and by the end of the 
gig we were assured that good had overcome 
evil and the world was in a better place...
I kid you not... OK all that nonsense aside this 
was such a good gig musically the quality was 
amazing and in elf LYND the lead guitarist for 
speed and dexterity is the best I've ever 
seen and heard and would wipe the floor with Malmsteen...
so there you go thanks to myself and 
300 hundred others we saved the world 
and that does not happen often on a 
Thursday night in Camden...Enjoy,Ed.

  2. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy a lot of the European power metal that's been flourishing since the mid-90's...sort of the evolution of where 80's era Maiden & Yngwie (and later, Helloween) were headed with heaviness, speed and melody all rolled into one. Now get out your 20-sided dice and cast those fireball spells against false metal.
